Hello fellow [H]'s I have been away from these forums for years now that my computer modding hobby has long gone. I still feel that I have yet to find a better forum than [H]. I am going to be a senior at the university this coming fall and as a Civil Engineer major, it was really awesome...

I seemed to have solved the issue. Thanks Cisco for your help anyways! I realized that it was my heatsink that was not properly installed. My CPU temp was idling at 50c . Now it idles at 29c. thanks once again!

I have been running into this problem a lot recently. I just reformatted completely and got it running windows 8.1 Sometimes, when I start up the computer, the monitor reads "now entering digital power saving mode" right after startup. These are the things I can do and see: -I can...

Well I recently received this message from boot, "Pri Master hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. status BAD" for my velociraptor I was wondering what is the best program that's FREE and can do a complete mirror of my failing HDD. Thanks guys! Recommendations would be awesome.

Probably in the far future when I graduate

how much are you fellas paying for Sound dampening? I'm thinking about buying more for my Cosmos1000, which already has ones built in the panels.

That is quite some arguing going on in there lol... But in the end Fans are still Fans, and as long as I can feel lots of air coming out of them and are quieter than my waterpump while still getting the job done, I'm satisfied. PS: yea so I'm still going to continue to use these fans, but in...

Well, I use 3 of them in my Rig and 6 of them in my brothers Stacker. They are extremely quiet and perform a lot better than most other fans i've used. So I don't think they are "very bad" I don't know where you came up with this idea. Some places review certain products poorly and some places...

Okay made up my mind. I just need to borrow a ladder that can extend 20 feet high so i can install my AC unit :D

thanks for all your suggestions, but I guess ill just play the waiting game. I am a Civil Engineer/Arc major currently and will eventually upgrade my monitor to about 30" for CAD. I might just end up saving more money for a Nvidia Tesla Card. I'm going to keep my 280GTX and thanks everyone.

Yea that is pretty much impossible to run with his current PSU, but would lowering his resolution change any performance? PS: Cannondale06, I have a Cannondale bike from 2000 hehe

Yea you should definitely back up your raid0 set up lol. sorry for your loss, but it is these mistakes that we learn from the most. And for people hating on the Raptors, I've had my 36gb raptor drives for 6 years and am now using 2x150gb Raptor drives in raid 0. my 36gb raptor drives are still...

G9 and G15 were my favorite for my WOW days, but those days are long over and they are still really great keyboard and mice. The G9 is nice since it can have a custom weight. Works out great if you are upgrading from a wireless mouse that is heavy due to the batteries and prefer that weight...

Are you going to be Liquid cooling or Air cooling your rig? Some cases are extremely good for Air cooling your entire rig, while some are terrible. Something like my Cosmos 1000 case is probably one of the worst cases for air cooling because it has only one intake fan at the bottom and 3...

It can also be your powersupply dying. I had a similar problem with one of my friends computers. I flicked it on and off for hours and it eventually posted, but it would randomly not work when he needed it to be working. I came over and let him have my old PSUs and it fixed the problem. Try...
