    Suitable replacement for TJ07-BW?

    Hi, I have been using my TJ07-BW for a few years now and it has been the most solid case I have owned by far (also the most expensive by far). Recently I have had the opportunity to work with the Corsair 600T and I must say that, feature wise, I prefer it over the TJ07. Build quality...

    GTX280 audio

    Hi, I've just today thought about using the DVI-HDMI adapter and S/PDIF cable on my GTX280 and for some reason I cannot get the audio working. I have attached the audio cable from the S/PDIF out on my mobo to the audio port on the GTX280...is there something else I have missed? (I have tried...

    HDD, not entire system, randomly restarting?

    Hi, I recently noticed that one (maybe 2) of my hard drives power off and power on a few seconds later. I have a dual boot system and it seems that the boot disk w/ XP is the one with the issue. I will be using Vista and I will hear a drive power down and then restart/spin-up again - similar...

    M3A78-EM/PRO and Phenom 9600 BE

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone would happen to know the general OC ability of the above combo. I am able to get the 9600BE at the same price as an X2 4850e, but was wondering if I am actually better off just getting the X2 over the Phenom since this is an older motherboard. Thanks in advance.

    What to do with QX6850?

    Hi, I currently have my Q6700 at 3.6 with my Tuniq and the cost of upgrading to the QX6850 would be about $100. I was wondering what the general consensus was on max stable OC with the QX6850 on air. (ill also be swapping my ram for Mushkin Redlines PC2-8000 2x2GB if that matters any) So what...

    P5E drivers after Rampage flash?

    Hi, I was curious as to what drivers I would download for a P5E flashed to Rampage; would I still get all the drivers on the Asus site for the P5E or for the Rampage? I have not yet actually set up the board yet, but am I correct in assuming that I will get better OC ability and stability if...

    TJ07 and Tuniq 120 orientation?

    Hi, I was considering getting the TJ07 but was wondering how one would go about having the tuinq oriented? i.e. regular (fan blowing towards the back) or sideways (fan blowing upwards). The tj07 has 2 92mm fans which are, by default, intake fans. i could go about flipping them around, but...

    Vista x64 'Hide inactive icons'

    Hi, i recently installed Vista x64 on one of my drives. the good news is that it recognizes all my RAM (4GB), the bad news, so far, is that i no longer have the < or > to show or hide inactive icons (it is normally to the left of the clock and other icons in the bottom right side of the screen)...

    downclock memory?

    hi, i was just wondering which would be a better option, forgetting about the price differences: 1-getting higher speed rated RAM, i.e. these OCZ platinums and downclocking it to get a 1:1 ratio (i plan to OC the E6300 a bit... maybe to 2.2 or so on stock) or 2-getting lower speed rated...
