I'm not sure if this is the right spot to post this, but I get a weird fan noise when waking computer from sleep for about 2 minutes and then it goes away. At first it was my CPU fan, which was replaced, but is now happening again. This time, I think it's been the GPU because I just got a new...

I'm currently using a 2209wa which is 21.5". I moved and have no more space for my 50" plasma so I'm looking for a new monitor without making my GPU suck (7870). I've come to the conclusion that 1080p 27" is a good compromise for TV/console gaming/PC work and gaming. How is the glare on the...

Hello, I am buying my mother a HTPC solely for just browsing and streaming movies (never 1080p or even 720p sadly, but I want to be able to run that for the future). Then just general programs, etc. (in CANADA) I want something that doesn't cheap out on parts too much to the point where it's a...

Just bought a G500 mouse, and my first impression was ... wtf? Solder joint fell out of the weight cartridge area after hearing something moving around inside. I like it though, otherwise. The feel and shape are much needed (even though I like my g9x better, it gave me severe RSI due to claw...

Hey guys, so I got the Sapphire 5850 Xtreme last year since May. Now, I'm not sure whether or not it started with the graphic card upgrade, but it was around that time (I don't game enough to know). I haven't been gaming much but am getting back to gaming pretty soon. So far, it has BSOD at...

Hello, I have Telus Optik Internet/TV package. It's a 25megabit connection, I usually average around 3mb/sec on downloads. Just out of the blue a few days ago, my download speed is severely inconsistent. Sometimes reaches up to 1mb/sec and others it stays below 500kb/s like today. It makes no...

Selling XFX 5770, was bought last June, but very lightly used (no time for gaming, PC has been barely turned on). $100 shipped in Canada, and whatever extra cost it is for anyone in the US. Threw away original XFX box while moving, it will still come in a similar box (brother's 5850 box...

Hey guys, it's been a while since I've last been here.... I've gotten the Z-5300e..then Z-5500... then M-Audio AV40's. I now bought a nice 40" LED Sharp Aquos HDTV. I need a nice (decently priced) 2.1 set. Trying to stick to low budget. (CANADA) Originally, I was going to go for a Polk Audio...

Hey guys, just unlocked my X3 720 fourth core and everything is running butter smooth. However, it got renamed everywhere to a Phenom II X4 20. What's that? lol, is the 7 just cut off? Take a look:

I just got the X3 720 a couple weeks ago along with a CM690 case and MA790X-UD4P mobo (Gigabyte). Rest of specs are in my sig. My CPU temp usually idles around 39-41 on idle and 43+ on load, and right now it's sitting at 43 on idle... just turned my comp on. My GFX temp is 49, a little...

I have a legit Vista product key and such, and have been using Vista for a while.. and wondering if I should go back. I did this a year or so ago too, and the results weren't pleasing. Games like GRID went from 30-ish FPS to around 19. It wasn't nice, but before I had a pretty crappy...

Hey guys, just received my sound card today, and it looks like my 9600GT is covering my damn PCI-e 1x slot, so no Xonar DX for me :(. i wanted to upgrade my comp eventually, but it looks like this has forced me to do it now... Here is my current PC: HP Compaq SR5152NX. OK. So looks like...

Hey guys, I wanted to know if there is any good dac or sound card that could run my M-Audio AV40's quite well under 100$ CDN. I prefer it to be 10-20$ lower than 100$... but if it must be 100, it must. Can't be higher. What's my best option to go with? I only care about music...

Hello guys, been a bit over a month since I've had my AV-40s, and still, loving them very much. Look forward to listening to music on these everyday. Last night I had to put the volume quite low though, like.. extremely low (3am). I noticed when it was low enough, only one speaker was...

Hey guys, I've finally sold my z-5500 due to space limitations (rears), I was only using stereo mode, so thought I should get something better. I live in Canada, so no newegg or anything like that. Onboard sound with no digital output, but willing to get a soundcard down the road. Here are...

Hey guys, you might've seen my posts around here, but I've decided that I listen to far too much music than movies to have a use for this system. The surround sound is nice - when I watch a movie once a month or so. I put it up for $260 CDN and got an offer for $240 pickup tonight. Will...

Hey guys. I've recently bought the Logitech Z-5500, and couldn't be more pleased. However, it seems that they aren't the best for music, and I want to get the best out of my music. I was looking at the Sennheiser HD555 headphones for around ~150-200$ CDN, and think that might be a good option...
