    Problem w/Corsair 620w

    Thanks James - the guys at Corsair told me to fiddle w/the fan screws too. Loosening them up just a little made it better but not completely, and then loosening them up more made it much worse. :D I finally ended up tightening them and the clipping went away! Which is good because I really...

    Problem w/Corsair 620w

    Didn't see anything physically clipping the fan, but when I hold the fan and boot up its silent, so I think it must be hitting up against something. Just not sure what.

    Problem w/Corsair 620w

    Having a problem with my Corsair PSU when I turn my computer on initially. PSU makes a clicking noise, like a projector somewhat - no smell. Going through some forums I've seen other people w/the same problem. The weird thing about it is that when I press the power cord in the back more the...

    $220 Intel Core 2 Duo - Wolfdale - 45nm

    Looking for an e8400 - but buying a separate fan for it on newegg. Would I miss out on anything else from getting the OEM version?

    New Build Advice

    Oh yeah, I've been reading this board and a few others a lot. This place has a lot of great resources, and you guys all helped me out a lot with my monitor, which I was going back and forth on for a couple of weeks. Based on what I've read though, I might stick with the e8400 since I don't...

    New Build Advice

    I wish! Stuck up in Albany, New York - far away from everything. Man, I thought the processor was the one decision I was sure on! Thanks for the input everyone, starting to lean towards the Q6600 now, although I really have no plans on overclocking either processor.

    Danny - taking your advice and dropping the mobo, is the Gigabyte P35-DS3L all right? http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16813128059 Will switch to your cooler and RAM, was being stubborn but G. Skill has gotten a lot of good reviews for less money. Still stuck on the...

    New Build Advice

    Thanks, sorry for not mentioning more on that. I wasn't really planning on getting a Raptor or a faster OS drive. Whats the advantage of getting the 32 mb cache Seagate OS drive over a basic 7200 RPM WD, or a faster Raptor?

    New Build Advice

    Been planning this computer build for about a year now, slowly tweaking parts here and there as my budget allows. Poor college student, been looking forward to this for a while, so hopefully you guys can help me get the most out of my money! My needs actually aren’t that advanced, I’m a...

    About to pull the trigger on a FHD2400...

    reductant - any preference with the panels on the w2408h? I thought the LG was worse than the Samsung.

    About to pull the trigger on a FHD2400...

    I don't think anyone's ruling out BLB on the HP, it just seems like a much bigger issue with the Gateway. At least from what I've read, but I don't actually have either monitor like you guys do. To be honest at Best Buy I didn't see much BLB on either of them though; the biggest difference was...

    About to pull the trigger on a FHD2400...

    Since the biggest draw for the Gateway to me is the inputs for my PS2, and I might want to get a TV tuner anyway (to record Jets games :p), would the best solution be to get the HP and something like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815310002 It doesn't seem to...

    About to pull the trigger on a FHD2400...

    Man, that would make my decision so much easier! I'd easily pay an extra $50 for the inputs of the Gateway. But it looks like the brightness restrictions and BLB problem are mostly seen in the that monitor, though.

    About to pull the trigger on a FHD2400...

    Reductant - I have read a lot of your posts on the actual FHD2400 thread and its had a pretty big impact on my hesitancy with this monitor. You seem to know your stuff and I really appreciate the input. I will try messing with the sRGB mode on the w2408h in Best Buy the next time I'm there (most...

    About to pull the trigger on a FHD2400...

    Good point man, Best Buy really is bright, so maybe it will look better when I get it home if I decide to buy it. I've just read a lot of people on this board say that its pretty solid at zero, but it looked pretty depressingly dark to me. Thanks for the advice, HG - I think part of my...
