    680i EVGA Board won't Post

    this could very well be your problem: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1141430 how long have you had it running?

    eVGA 680i voltage issue

    No, I'm saying it will say 1.3 in the menu-selector thing, but on the right where it shows the actual current value it will be at 1.4v (after i have set it, and you would expect the new actual value to be 1.3) (this is after saving/rebooting, too)

    EVGA 680i problems possibly identified!

    If I were responsible for reviewing a house and the review would direct purchasing decisions for hundreds or even thousands of people, you'd best bet that I would get surgical on it. I would most certainly rip it up to make sure it was solid before giving it any "houes of the year" stickers or...

    EVGA 680i problems possibly identified!

    After reading about how pretty much everyone has found the grey gunk where thermal compound should be on this board, I went ahead and took my 680i apart and cleaned up the "puddy" as best I could and applied some AS. Here are some pictures I took (click the images for the hi-res version if you...

    EVGA 680i problems possibly identified!

    I would like to know if the board kyle / hardocp reviewed and gave such high marks to had this insane "thermal puddy" (as it's being called over at the eVGA forums, i know how to spell putty :p) on it. If they didn't remove the north/south-bridge hsf contraption...i wish they would and let us...

    eVGA 680i voltage issue

    I have a 680i with a e6600..which defaults to 1.2 volts for the cpu and 1.3 for the FSB. However, when I start OC'ing it changes the FSB to 1.4V and the CPU to 1.4V even though I am not using auto and have set 1.3/1.3. Is the board supposed to do this, or is this a defect? I am already...

    Computer Abuse, what ticks u off?

    i hate people who sit on machines in the school computer labs (which are full at the end of the semester) and just goof off with IM/whatever while other people that need to do actual work have to stand and wait in line!!! Yargh.

    ATI and NVIDIA under investigation!!???

    Hah, with their current market share, if they had to return money to all (or even a significant % of) their consumers, they would probably go bankrupt..

    XFX GeForce 7600GT vs XFX GeForce 7600GT

    interesting. i would just go with the cheaper card which claims to have a better memory bus myself..there is no way 128bit is going to be preferable (unless there is some other difference between the 2 cards which we aren't aware of). The whole difference could potentially just be a typo too...

    What is the best card for >$200

    Well for greater than 200 bucks, I'd just get 2 of the above and put them in an SLI rig ;) *edit* ah, i see your correction In that case, I would go with 7900 like the poster below this has recommended

    Is there a current case better than the Cooler Master ATC-110?

    Well, if I already had that case I would just keep the $150.00 rather than buying another one that is virtually identical. That's just me though.. However, on second thought, if the money is really burning a hole in my pocket, I would go to the bank and get it changed into 6 x $20 bills and...

    very weird video problem

    Hmm, that is interesting. You'll note on the following page that the 6-Series GeForce cards premiered in April of 2004. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_6_Series How did you get yours so early!?!

    ATI and NVIDIA under investigation!!???

    Let me just make sure I'm reading this right.. What you are saying is that the typical vista users should be prepared to "generally" use whatever Windows 95 "Classic" fallback theme is provided? Unless I *COMPLETELY* totally misread or misunderstood you're statement, I'm going to have to...

    What has happened to BFG Tech's quality of service?

    Yeah, I would have to agree with you that having a card fail 3 times seems very strange and more than a little bit suspect to some kind of user error. However, I would say that I have a fair amount of experience with computer cooling (I did the whole watercooling thing in 2002/2003 :P) and I...
