    crucial ballistix RMA

    Not necessarily. I've been running mine at 1.8 V and 5 CAS (due to some mobo weirdness) and they failed me after 5 months. Kept getting BSOD, thought it was corrupted windows sys files, tried a repair install of XP and a fresh install on a new HD before I tried swapping out the ram. I will...

    Galaxy to move to 2 year warranty

    Amen - as a fellow Canuck, I can second the difficulties associated with warranties etc and pricing. Generally if these cards don't go bust in the first 30 days, chances are they won't. And most decent retailers offer 90 day exchange policies for these, so you're covered anyway. Nope, keep...

    9600GT vs 8800GS vs 8600GT

    Wait if you're not using it now. If you want to game natively on that 24" (what res?), you;ll probably need more grunt than the 9600GT. I suggest investing in something like a 4850 if you want budget performance.

    Messed up picture (with screen shot)

    I assume that's 98% load, not the fan setting. Although many cooling fanatics will say that's high, it's well within operating specs, and therefore should not be the cause of your problems. If the card is not OC, then it is likely a defective card that should be returned.

    What do you guys think of the ZOTAC GTX 280?

    Not true. The GPU is the same, and the mainboard is too, but the ram, bios, capacitors, coolers, etc can vary. Probably other things too. My opinion of zotac as a company is good. My 8800 GT OC is great, never once have had any issues with temps or other stuff. They gave me my mail in...

    Galaxy to move to 2 year warranty

    I was going to buy a galaxy 8800GT, but there had been so many different versions out there in a period of several months that I didn't think it was worth the risk even at the great price. Some were fantastic ram OCer's and with great coolers, some with bad coolers and poor OC on the ram. Then...

    Asus P5K - No post when "cold"?

    I can't believe it. For the last few days it is posting first try every time.

    Do I have a bad 8800gt?

    That's far too cool to be a problem. Unless the sensor is not reading the temp properly. But if your fan is set to 85% it should not be overheating anyway unless the heat sink was set wrong. `

    so I have a 8800GT already.

    For the price it would probably be a pretty good deal since your mobo is SLI capable.

    P5K-E acting up?

    After you try the first time and it does not post, hold the off button until the system shuts off, then try turning it on again immediately. Repeat if necessary. This is similar to my thread http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1344679

    Do I have a bad 8800gt?

    We need more info. What brand of 8800GT is it? What are the remaining system specs? What are your temperatures like? You need to monitor these while you play. Sounds like the card is overheating. Come back with this info.
