    Problem with eVGA 6600GT

    In addition to the eVGA that colbyman suggested, I also found another 7600 GT by XFX. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150185 Which one would be better? I've never used XFX before, I've always bought eVGA so I don't know how XFX's quality is. But from what I can see...

    Problem with eVGA 6600GT

    I'll be using it mainly to play Counter Strike: Source and Half-Life 2. The native resolution on my LCD monitor (19") is 1280 x 1024 so that's what most of my programs will be running at (unless I have to bump it down to gain more FPS).

    Formatting in Word

    Hi, I'm using MS Word 2003 and I like to make outlines using Word's outline view, then switching back to print layout view and applying all the bullets and stuff. But sometimes there are HUGE white gaps in-between text in the print-layout view and these gaps inbetween parts of the outline show...

    Can't Use Win Update without Windows Genuine Advantage?

    Um.. my version of Win XP is legit. It doesn't give me any pop-ups or anything (I've heard some people with legit copies have had that problem). I just don't like the idea of Windows constantly sending my info over the internet. I think once is more than enough to verify authenticity. So I...

    Zalman 9500 vs Scythe

    I think AMD and Intel says you shouldn't put more than 450g on your CPU; however, I don't think weight is a problem with the Ninja. On mine it's VERY sturdy and attaches very well.

    Need Help with Cooling

    Ok, I'll do that. Now I just have to figure out how to remove this badboy :eek: . Both my thumbs were SO.. sore after I put the Ninja in. On another note. When I peeled off the blue tape at the base of the heatsink I noticed that there was a light adhesive that had attached the blue tape to...

    I installed the Scythe Ninja Plus (w/ stock Ninja fan) and a 120mm Yate Loon fan into my system last week but the temps haven't been much better, and in some cases, worse. Stock AMD Config (Idle/Load). Some of these temps are different from the first post because of the lower ambient temps...

    Ninja Backplate

    Hi, I just ordered a new Scythe Ninja :) and been reading the instructions online, it hasn't gotten here yet though. Anyway, will the Ninja be compatible with the stock backplate of an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum motherboard and how can I tell if the the stock backplate is compatible? Also, if it is...
