    NY Representative to Fight Usage Caps with Bill

    For a lot of us there is no one else. Perhaps if the cable companies didn't lobby to ensure no other broadband provider could service the area, they wouldn't need to have their pricing structures regulated. When competition is made possibly by competing companies receiving the go ahead to...

    Wire management in a CM Stacker

    I'm wondering how do you guys do it. Between the front port wires, the power cords, the fans and the sata cables I have a wiring nightmare where i literally have a wall of cables stuffed above the hd cage. I want some extra cooling in my case and I figured out the fan bracket I removed from...

    Overclocking trouble

    I'm having trouble overclocking my q6600 as I seem to having a problem getting the RAM to match the processor. I can reach up to 333 FSB fine as my ram (ddr2 800) seems to have no problem running at 667 or 800mhz. As soon as I raise the FSB from 333 and it forces the RAM to run somewhere in...

    NY Governor Linked to Prostitution Ring

    His fight to bust other prostitution rings is one of his widely known achievements - no one is alleging that he was anti-prostitution, it is a commonly known fact. He also proclaimed himself to be the guy to bring an ethical reform back to the governer's office, and created this picture of...

    Thanks a lot.

    My 8800GT barely overclocks at all :(

    I don't have a floppy disk, is it possible to do this without it? My GPU idles at around 40C with the fan at 30%, and i hear no difference when taking the fan up to like 90% so I have some head room I think. I just cant seem to push the core above 720 without crashing.

    Terrible Q6600 temps

    Thanks a lot for those links, I'll be looking for another heatsink IF i can find a way to remove the nirvana now that one of the top of the screws has worn away.

    Terrible Q6600 temps

    Well I'm up and running again! It seems like the row of capacitators(those little circular caps) is right along where the cpu lies, and the zerotherm nirvana sits on them and cannot make proper contact. I've completely worn the screws away since they were hard to screw in, so if I manage...

    Asus P5K/P5E problem

    I built my first computer a week ago with a P5K, but I never got it to work due to the monitor showing no signal. So after testing the gpu/monitor and finding out that they are both working I decided to RMA the P5K and bought a P5E instead. Now I got the P5E to work great for a couple of days...

    Terrible Q6600 temps

    Seems like my temps aren't going to matter any more. Cleaned off the cpu with isopropyl alcohol, reapplied AS5 and reseated the heatsink - and it seems like something has died - no longer getting a signal on the monitor. (GPU, HD, DVD, Fans, are all on and working). Strange thing is this...

    Terrible Q6600 temps

    Well my load temps under prime95 is 70C so it woud appear that I've already maxed out at a 1.28 vcore and 2.7ghz. Disappointing since I really need that little bit extra for gaming.

    Terrible Q6600 temps

    I've tried raising the vcore as high as 1.38, but I cannot get to windows on any clock higher than the 9x300 I'm running now.

    Terrible Q6600 temps

    My v-core is 1.288, which was the stock setting. I retightened the heatsink this morning and it seemd to lower my temps a small bit. I am now running at 9x300 on the 1.288 vcore at an idle temp of about 40C. I read that the zerotherm nirvana was just slightly below the TRUE-120 in...

    Terrible Q6600 temps

    I've been wondering about the temperature sensor being wrong. I have a stacker 832 with a total of 7 120mm fans, and my mobo temp is about 28C, with my GPU idling at 35C. The overall cooling in the case seems to be great, but the cpu is still causing me some problems. (Being a first time...

    Terrible Q6600 temps

    I'll try tightening the screws a little more - perhaps its not making enough contact. My load temps go up to around 70ish on orthos. Hopefully I can get it down enough to finally overclock.
