I find this highly untrue. For one, alot of these manufacturers use the same bearings for the enrite platform of drives. They may offer 20 drivers with varying speeds, standards, and sizes, but the end point is, they probably use the same bearings? Take cars for example, the cavilar and the...

What about that news on the main site here: http://computerworld.com/hardwaretopics/storage/story/0,10801,107607,00.html this seem a little wack? I have way older CDs, plus the fact of the HD storage....he suggests that standard HDs suck because of their bearings, which is true, this happens...

that max temp right.....51' scary?

cool, let us know.....

but what do you guys think though, vs. OCZ 520?

Dunno what to think, seem kinda new to PSU industry, but the specs look damn good on this for the $: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817712002 active PFC, dual rails, decent #'s......anyone know anything about them? Cant seem to find any reviews hardly.....or would the...

Are the ASUS PSUs on newegg now any good? they look decent, dual rails, active PFC....etc.

thnx, thats a long one, gonna be some hefty reading tonight.... I think I'am gonna get the MSI board though, I'm coming from a MSI Neo2 plat currently, and its BAR NONE the best mobo I've ever owned, I've had Asus, DFI, gigabyte, everything, 2x 939's boards, 1x 754, about 5 socket A...

hmmm, well I use a viece 3500+ I wonder if their are problems with that, I plan to OC, I would like to run 250@1:1 or 300ish with divider....that the official reason, just no OCs on winchester cores?

thnx for the info, the a8n32 looks decent, but a bit pricey....I will probably have to go with the DFI, but I'd really like to know what happened with the MSI board, can a hardocp offical 'dude' please post up what happened to give it such a horrible bolded comment in the review afterwords? Is...

:D lolz, seriously though, anyone else know more details than this? All the other hardocp reviews of SLI 939 boards look depressing........anyone recommend anything? what about the old ASUS A8N-SLI?

I've been looking for my next board, and need a SLI ready setup. After looking through most of the boards, I was deeply reading the hardocp review of it: http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NzE0LDc= got to the end and saw this: wow? what problems did it have?

You are the man, problem solved, the 'FIRST' got the job done, thank you very much. Rock on! But I wonder why the ASUS a8v didnt have those problems?? Oh well, good to do now, thnx.

thats funny lol. no, no way in hell, runs at like 49 idle, copper evga HS that you buy seperate on one with artic silver of course, other card has nv5 silencer, its not temp related, and it wouldnt happen on both cards like that if so, its ran at these speeds(and faster before) read first post...

I've since tried by brothers 6800GT, exact same symptoms......exact. Therefore its gonna be with my new mobo/CPU combo. Anyone heard of problems like this with the MSI neo2 plat? I've tried 66 & 67 agp freq. heard something about it locks the PCI/AGP bus @ 67...so I use that. Normal CPU use...

no one else? I've tried reverting to 66.93s - no help.

hey guys, long post, but plz read, need some help.... =( heres the deal, my evga 6800gt, no mods, used to OC awsome, it used to do 433/1.197 stable for benchmarks no problem, heres a link: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=511878 that was in my last system, like a year ago...

wow thnx for the info on that autoexec.cfg, works wonders =)

thats for quake3, im looking for quake4 cmd... hey vocab your saying you make a file name 'autoexec.cfg' and leave in /q4base and it will auto execute the CMDs in there? cuz this would be handy, cuz I would like to have fov/allow console cmds, but q4 resets the cfg everytime I start, but I...

Heres the deal with both games, some times when I look at just the right place in the lvl, usually a big area, it caps my FPS to EXACTLY half of my refresh rate, ie, if its 60, some places in the lvl will be exactly 30, I've tried everything that I can think of, forcing the RR with coolbits, you...

Does changing the 3d without changing the 2d have any adverse effects?

I've wondered that too, I've only been adjusting 3D, what do you guys do?

WOAH! Either something is horribly wrong, or your the luckiest bastard in the world, but I'am leaning towards the 1st option, LOL :D

It may not lower your idle temps by much if at all, but expect a good 10, sometimes higher on load, and its actually significantly quieter than stock....

Well i clicked the "Turn DEP on for essintal programs and services" Instead of "For all progs and servcies" and its still does it. Do i need to manually disable like the command line way? Also, if i just go back to the 61.77's is it true that those do not have these problems, would you say...

Shit, i did search, couldnt find anything. Thanks alot though, I'll turn if off and see what happens. your ASSumptions are incorrect. Do you think I would be posting this crap if I havnt thought to think if it was stable or not? are you mad? YES its 100% stable at those clocks, it has...

Anyone have a blue screen problem with the 6800GT when exiting ut2k4 or tribes sp-demo2? It only seems to happen when I'am running at OC'ed @ 400gpu/1.10mem, and both games do it at the exact same time, when I click exit after playing them for awhile and I just get to desktop and then it will...

433/1.197 is my max, with Evga GT & NV5 Silencer http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=511878 53 Idle, 38 Ambient, 67 Load

Impressive man. I just got my NV5 on, and wired the fan constant 12v, didnt make hardly any difference......that fans just doesnt vary much in speed at all, you can feel the air coming out of the back at 5v and 12v and there barely a difference at all. :( Oh well.

Same here, this deal is weak.

Actually, nevermind, it even says on arctic cooling's website that its ok to take the 12v powersupply from the PSU to power the silencer....anyone have any results? http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=40&data=7&disc= on the bottom of the page:

So has anyone tried it in this instance?

This may not be possible, but i was just thinking if the fan on the NV5 Silencer is a variable speed 12v fan, why could'nt you just rig up the fan to a constant 12v Volt. source, would make the idle temps way better, and possible impact load temps a bit as well. Can this be done? or will the...
