    WTB: LGA1366 X58 Motherboard

    My current DFI Lanparty JR X58-T3H6 is dying and I'm looking for a replacement! Would prefer MicroATX but ATX is fine, too. Thank you for your time!

    Random shutdown while upright, fine on its side; not overheating

    I've tried with both the side panel on and off and that makes no difference. I don't think it's an overheating issue, as I've been monitoring temperatures and they are not unusual. Another thing I've noticed this week is that sometimes when I bump my desk, the computer shuts down. Something's...

    Random shutdown while upright, fine on its side; not overheating

    Update: So I cleaned and re-seated the CPU heatsink/fan and, initially, it seemed to fix everything. Everything worked fine for a few days, but the same symptoms showed up again. I'm also noticing that on some occasions, when I press the power button, it starts for a second, then shuts off, and...

    Random shutdown while upright, fine on its side; not overheating

    GENIUS! I'll try to locate the original stock cooler. It's probably in a box somewhere... I'm also aware that "pull everything out and reseat it well" is a good place to start, but I've definitely been procrastinating it. Thanks for your suggestion. I'm starting to feel optimistic after...

    Random shutdown while upright, fine on its side; not overheating

    Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I guess I haven't been able to COMPLETELY rule out how securely the cpu/heatsink is attached. I'll get some thermal compound soon and try re-seating it, as well as checking my RAM. It's been a little while for me but is Arctic Silver 5 still the way to go...

    Random shutdown while upright, fine on its side; not overheating

    Hello friends, I've had my computer (the one in my signature) for over four years. As of two weeks ago, it's been randomly shutting down. Sometimes it shuts down after a few hours of gaming, sometimes it shuts down a few seconds after booting and requires several attempts to start, and...

    CPU Duct

    Hey everyone, I have an i7 920 with a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 in an Antec Mini P180 and was wondering if anyone knew if this fan duct would fit on my heatsink: http://www.frozencpu.com/cpu-tri-26.html I know it's very unlikely that any of you have both this exact duct and the S1283, but if...

    Help me OC my i7 920

    Thanks for the responses! What would an unreasonable amount of voltage be? What amount(s) of voltage would be within reason?

    Help me OC my i7 920

    Hello everyone! I recently built an i7 computer and would like to overclock it. It's been a few years since I've done any overclocking (Opteron 165), and even then I was at best an amateur. Here is my build: Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz w/ Xigmatek HDT-S1283 w/ Scythe S-Flex 1200rpm 120mm...

    Toshiba REGZA 37RV530U for Computer Monitor

    Does the 32RV530U have any ghosting issues? I bought the Sceptre X32BV-FullHD from Costco recently and am using it as a computer monitor. I've noticed slight ghosting in everything I do. Significant ghosting when looking at fences in Half Life 2, in the trees in Crysis, and even some ghosting...
