    Are PSU calculators accurate?

    So I figure this will be the easiest way to ask this. I used this tool on http://extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine to calculate the recommended psu wattage, but is this number accurate? It seems very low. The system I'm shopping for a PSU for is a E6600, 4x1GB ram, 4350 Video card, and 6 hard...

    Help me pick an awesome full tower case...

    There isn't really an opening under the hard drives. There is the fan vent above the cage, and if you put a fan there it just basically pulls air in from the bottom area and moves it up. It does cool the hard drives alot compared to with the fan outside and next ot the drives, where you get 0...

    Question about asus rampage formula usb ports

    Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the usb ports powered when the system is off or in sleep mode? My old IP35 board did this and it was great so I could charge my phone, ipod, 360 controllers, etc while my system was off. So far, it seems like when I shut the system down, the usb ports...

    Blurred text when using a 1080p hdtv as a monitor...normal?

    I just purchased a samsung LN37A550 37" hdtv. It supports 1080p, resolution 1920x1080. I thought that since my video card would be sending the same 1920x1080, that the text would be fine..but its not. PC gaming is good, no problems there. But whenever trying to view text, browse the web, or do...

    Issue with Gigabyte DQ6 1.0 and USB ports

    Hey Bill, thanks for the response. I'll check device manager when I get home just incase, but its died out while im in the middle of moving, so that wouldnt be it. Think I should call Gigabyte and get a RMA?

    Tweaking the DQ6 heatpipe assembly - need help

    You dont need to use the epoxy for the heatpipe, it uses 4 plastic clip things to hold it in place. When I first got my board, I removed the old stuff and put some artic silver on it. It seems to be working fine. It was more hassle to remove the 'crazy cool' backplate thing so I could attach my...

    Issue with Gigabyte DQ6 1.0 and USB ports

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue of the USB ports just dying out on a Gigabyte DQ6 v1.0. I've updated to bios F10, but it doesnt seem to make a difference from F9. What happens is every now and then, although happening alot more often now, my usb keyboard or mouse(Logitech...

    Suggestions for cooling ATI 1950xt?

    I setup the 2d/3d profiles to automatically switch like you did, but it didnt seem to do it, although I did only test with 1 game, so it might be something with that game. I have the card set at like 641/936 for 3d, very small overclock and yeah luihed, I guess my next step is to pickup that...

Is there anythign I would need to do to get ATT to detect 3d mode and switch on its own? I had to make a 2nd profile and change...

    Suggestions for cooling ATI 1950xt?

    Ramsinks are on and secured. I did reseat the cooler, no change in temps. I didnt call customer service, because if i'm not having an actual problem, I doubt they'd do anything. The card works perfectly fine, no artifacting or anything. Its just it seems to be running alittle warmer than i'd...

    Suggestions for cooling ATI 1950xt?

    I've replaced the stock cooler with a zalman vf900, applied with artic silver 5. The video card gets warmer than I think its supposed to be, hovers around 85-90c after about an hour of gaming. I've tried adding an Evercool Fox-1(this) which does pull air out the back, but didnt seem to help the...
