    MSI HD5770 $80+ship AR (base price $110) at Fry's

    Is this a good card? I'm in the market for a 'decent' card.

    got hundred bucks need an htpc help plz

    I have a wireless n as well and it skips like crazy if I try to stream. I agree with above poster to go with wire. 100 if a tight limit if you need to buy the entire box (case, drives, cpu, mobo, vid card, etc etc) On the issue of sound i have a case with an intake and exhaust fan 120mm...

    Is there a way to shrink ripped bluray?

    Just curious, for your 1 pass, what CQ setting are you using? Is it CQ=18?

    Phenom II X6 OC Temperature Question

    Ive read so many ways to do it, but i did the rice grain way. I put a small rice grain size of AS5 on the center. But you are saying my heat sink is not good enough?

    I am trying to overclock my x6. Currently its at vcore=1.325, 18x multiplier, cpu freq=195 running at 3.5 ghz. Not sure what other information you all might need. Cooler is ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185125 Idle is 33C. When I...

    Computer randomly restarts - PS issue?

    check the dust in the vid card. check DEEEP in there even if the fan blades look clean. Something similar happened to me, i blew the fan blades clean. Then realized there was a TON of duct deep inside. Solved my issues.

    Is there a way to shrink ripped bluray?

    This is 2 pass im assuming? I'm new to all this sorry. I heard that the CQ mode is much quicker though. I am not extremely picky with how big the size is, just in the neighborhood.

    Is there a way to shrink ripped bluray?

    I have a ripped version of 300 with anydvdhd. Size is 23.2 gb. I used CQ22 and got it down to a 7.14 gb mkv file. Roughly a 66+% reduction. Since you do CQ 18 (or anyone for that matter), do you know 'roughly' how much of a reduction from the original it is? My goal is to have an mkv output...

    Is RipBot suppose to take this long?

    I looked at this graph... converting bluray to mkv, which is what I'm mostly interested in, and times are fairly 'close'. Assuming a 2 hour movie instead of 2.5 mins, and looking at both the overclocked 2500k and 2600k, seems that it would take roughly 163 mins and 133 mins respectively (if...

    Better to get more gb of ram or faster speed?

    Yes I plan on oc'ing it. More than likely the 2600k. I'm just on a budget so I didn't want to go crazy and wasn't sure if more ram was better or speed (assuming a comparable price point) Also, does cl7 vs cl9 make a noticeable difference given the same amount of ram at the same speed? Last...

    Better to get more gb of ram or faster speed?

    I was debating on the 2 situations: 2x2 gb ddr3 cl7 of 1600 ram vs 2x4 gb ddr3 cl9 of 1333 ram Which would be best for the SB and why? If it matters, I plan on doing a lot of video encoding.

    Is RipBot suppose to take this long?

    After reading more reviews on the new SB processor I'm starting to think that I want to go ahead and go with a 2600k and overclock it. I'm just not sure if I want to spend the money and go with 2600k or go cheaper with the 2500k.

    Is RipBot suppose to take this long?

    i actually have been looking at the 2600k i7, trying to price it with mobo/ram/cooler, its coming out to roughly 600ish. Do you think the rip times will be cut drastically? Would hoping for a 2pass in the neighborhood of 4-5 hours be pushing it :P

    i5/i7 Price drops happening?
