1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc My father is an author who also needs to have multiple applications open at once, and uses the web constantly. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? <$700 tax & ship inc. 3) Where do you live...

My girlfriend is building a computer for herself for christmas, which naturally means I am the one who is building it. She got an i3 550 3.2 ghz, and I was wondering what would be a safe fast overclock for it on all-stock settings. She doesn't game or anything, so I don't care about spending the...

Hi folks, I was wondering if this is normal, or if it is something unique. I have had an X25-M gen 1 since they were introduced, and it has always given me a problem where if I am installing something, copying something, or doing something that results in lots of writes to the disk, I...

Hey, I have been having this issue for a long time, but it is not extremely annoying so I decided not to bother with it. I have some free time now, so I figured maybe someone here would know what is going on. Basically, the drive seems to have really good reads/writes, the values are what...

I have the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade package unopened for sale. $65 paypal. Heat: jjz22

I have two monitors, one running at 1920x1080 and the other at 1280x1024. When I game I just game on the big monitor and let the other one stay on. Does having it stay on (it is actually using aero and everything while on) negatively affect my fps? It is putting pixels on my screen and...

Heya. I have an Asus VW224 22 inch monitor right now. 2 ms response, 1680x1050. It is alright, although nothing spectacular. I have been looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005126 - the LG W2453V-PF. It seems to be a good monitor, and it is a step up in...

It was hard to decide whether to post this in Data Storage Systems or Operating Systems. I have decided to post it here, since it deals more with hardware wear than software performance gain. Anyway, the question I have is, why disable superfetch? Does it make enough writes to the ssd to...

E6600, ran it stable at 3.6 ghz for some benches and 3.4 ghz for 24/7. Asking $65 shipped. No money orders. Heat is jjz22 White stuff is just thermal paste that I wasn't able to remove. Processor runs fine, just tested it on my other pc before packaging it.

Is there any way I can just suppress this bios screen from popping up? It seems completely useless to me. I run my one ssd off of the ICH10R controller, not the standalone iSrc controller. I also have a sata2 dvd player; however, i have it connected to sata port 1, and i have sata port 0-3 set...

When I was refilling my coolant for my water cooling system for my new i7 build, I ran out :P. I thought 500cc was enough, but apparently not. What I did was add some distilled water to the coolant, in order to get enough flowing in my system. Could doing this significantly raise the load...

I have 6 gb of DDR3 1600 mhz CAS8 memory. I run it, right now, at the 2:8 ratio with a 180 blck. This gives me 1440 mhz. I am able to use 7-7-7-19 timings. I can also run it at a 2:10 ratio, giving me 1800 mhz. I am able to use 9-8-8-24 timings. Any idea which one would be better? Or is it...

How important is CPU PLL? I have it set at 1.88 right now, as the intel max is 1.89 and I am trying to find my max bclk. Do I even need to overclock it? Can I just leave it at 1.8? Also, I have my vcore and vtt at 1.4v. I am using a watercooling system with a large radiator (3x120mm fans)...

Will come in its box with retail fan. Asking for $240-> $220 shipped. Comes with retail fan (although not pictured). Lost the manual. I have little heat, sorry. I hope to improve it. My heat name is jjz22 PM me for further details. -Ian

I purchased a refurbished ASUS P6T DELUXE V2 from newegg. It seems that with only the integrated speakers, processor, some fans, and graphics card attached, the motherboard does not post. It gets power. The fans run, the cpu gets hot, the gpu fan is running, etc. Can I safely say this is a...

Looking for a good keyboard. Preferably a G11; however, some similar keyboard would be fine.

I am interested in a TX850 Corsair PSU, or another 850 watt psu that is well regarded. -Ian

I am looking for an Asus P6T Deluxe V2 without extras (cables, etc).

As the thread title says, I'd love to purchase an Intel Core i7 920, without heatsink / retail box. I would also love to get my hands on 3*2GB Dominator 1600 mhz DDR3 ram.

I am doing a new build, and want to use 1600 mhz ram over the 1866/2000 mhz ram, in order to save some cash. I was wondering, would doing this limit the overclock on a core i7 920 at all? I wouldn't think so; however, I want to make sure. The ram in question is corsair dominator DDR3.

The setup in the title is with a stock cooler with some japanese-made thermal paste. I cannot remember the name right now; however, they are a relatively well known thermal paste company. I was wondering, ROUGHLY, what overclock I could be looking at with this setup on the stock cooler on...

On my computer at home I do not have my browser set to automatically remember my password and I cannot remember my password :P. I tried the "I lost my password" feature to get my password emailed to me; however, I never received the email. Is this a problem anyone else is having? Can someone...

So, I bought a $34 P965 MSI Neo-F in some second-hand shop here in Osaka, Japan. Sounds like a good idea, hmm? Seemed to work alright for a while, but I left my computer on overnight to do a drive backup, and noticed that that it was frozen. I restarted it, and it worked fine until I restarted...

Hello! I bought a Radeon HD4670 a few days ago and I notice that it seems to be having issues with the driver. I am using it at stock clocks. My system is using an E6420 overclocked to 2.66 ghz from 2.13 ghz (obviously it can go a lot higher than 2.66 ghz; however, I am using a MSI Neo-f...
