    add second vid card?

    Hi all, been a while. Is there anything to be gained by doubling up on my vid card? Really don't have any complaints with my setup. Been playing BF3 since it came out and recently went through Farcry3 Not sure what I'll do next, game wise. Talking about system 1 of course

    Upgraded computer, let the problems begin

    Hi All, been a while. Ok, I recently upgraded system 1 to its current configuration in my sig. That freed up the mobo, cpu, mem and vid card to do a hand me down to my second system. That system had been Asus mobo w/Barton and Win xp. So anyway my problems are with system 2. I decided that I...

    Overclocking for dummies

    I'd like to know what software (or hardware) is most popular for monitoring temps and especially fans? I guess I should say controlling fans as well, it thats needed.

    Overclocking for dummies

    Feeling dumb now. I just opened the case, probably the first time since I built over a year ago, and the side fan (yes, in the lower position) has the power cord still neatly tie wrapped and not plugged in. Only have one hdd. I will uninstall Easytune

    Overclocking for dummies

    Hi all. I run a slight oc on my older rig and want to tweak my "newer" rig. I was running stock for the last year. I could play COD, Crysis, Farcry2 well enough so I didn't do any oc. Ran cpu-z and discovered speedstep, which I don't like and have been unable to disable. But people say...

    looking to tweak my setup

    OK friends, I still refer to it as my "new" computer, but I started buy the components 18 months ago and built it a year ago. The reason I built was because I bought a game and it wouldn't play. I've forgotten if it was Far Cry 2 or maybe Crysis. Anyway I got mad and said thats...

    Cleared cmos, lost bios settings

    Hi All, its been a while. Been having trouble lately, suddenly got a "keyboard error or no keyboard detected" I changed cmos battery and cleared cmos and it seems to work. Only thing is, as you all know, it wipes out settings in bios. I'm not real good at this stuff, just know enough to be...

    Cooler Master CM690 owners enter here:

    The only reason I knew about the mobo screws was because I read it in a post somewhere. Probably would have overlooked them too.

    Cooler Master CM690 owners enter here:

    I just got my CM690. I don't have all my components yet, so I haven't really done much of anything with the case yet. But I do have a couple of first impressions and a question or 2. My first impression was when I saw the box and thought,'Wow thats huge'. After taking the case out of...

    What is my post count

    Yes, I now understand that its right there. What you did not understand was my response. My first thought was to check my profile. How do you do that? You click on User CP up top. When you do that and click on edit profile...its not there. You have to click on your own name in the post and...

    What is my post count

    Thats hilarious. My profile is probably the first place I checked. Guess what? Its not there (unless as I said, I'm blind). I'm not saying you're wrong, you are correct, but its under my public profile. I find that weird.

    What is my post count

    Every time I try to reply in the Hot Deals section it says you must have more than 50 posts. OK, I get it. But what is my count? Maybe I'm blind (and I did search for posts about post count) but I can't find it. Little help?
