Please don't consider this a hijack or a flame, just sheer morbid curiousity - but why do so many people make decisions based on a case's weight when they are never going to take the PC anywhere with them, in fact will probably never move it more than once or twice in it's lifetime?

I had some rather high temps with the Wavemaster as well... I switched over to the Thermaltake Armor case and all my cooling ills are gone. I am running an Athlon 64 x2 3800+ w/ stock cooler. In the Wavemaster, I was running the following for cooling. 2x 80mm intake from front. 1x...

Yes, the Thermaltake Armor case is HUGE, but it made a MASSIVE difference in cooling over my former Coolermaster Wavemaster. If you like the design, you might consider the Armor Junior. I am running an Athlon 64 x2 3800+ w/ stock cooler. In the Wavemaster, I was running the following for...

I've got a pair of Corsair XMS Pro 1GB sticks that are working well at stock speeds (3338) in dual channel mode, but I am curious if anyone who has these same sticks of memory have been able to successfully overclock them to CAS 2.5 or CAS 2, and what timings do you have everything set to? I...

Ok - my next step - to call Microsoft and CompTIA to ask them to revoke my MCSE and A+ certifications....because what I found disqualifies me from the mental capacity of having either one of those certs! There is a power connector - 4 pin molex - just like the one that a CDROM or PATA hard...

Antec Tru-Power 500... has 28 amps on the 12v rail.. Everything went to hell in a handbasket with the network card, no matter what slot I put it in.. Problem still persisted after uninstalling the driver and pulling the card, wouldnt recover even after doing a system restore point i had made...

First failure upon installing the network card in the middle PCI slot... It was in the bottom before... Am testing now with the top slot... If it's just the network card then it's an easy change out... am testing now with the network card in the top.

Well I've made some progress... I uninstalled the Creative drivers, then flushed them with Driver Cleaner Pro... No change. I removed the card, flushed one more time with DCP... No change. I uninstalled the network card's drivers... No change... I removed the card... No change. I...

I failed to mention - this actually was a 100% fresh install of Windows last night.. I was up late trying to get my system running so I could run some benchmarks, then when I got up I found that all the work was apparently for nothing! If the Audigy turns out to be the problem - what sound...

OldMX, Thanks for the positive feedback! I'll give that a shot tonight or tomorrow!

On the MB there are 3 PCI slots - the one farthest from the CPU is orange.. Per the manual , this is the slot that supports bus mastering.. I have the Belkin Wireless in that slot.. The one above I have the Audigy 2, and above that the Joyport slot from the audigy... How would you arrange them?

I'm going to try that tonight when I get home... Now that I think about it, I don't think the card COULD BE hosed, simply because of it working with the :eek: ATI :eek: card! Maybe a driver conflict of some sort.... I might try rolling back to the version of the driver on the CD instead of...

All, I have experienced a problem with a 6800GT, and now 2x7600GTs with what appears to be either my Audigy 2 or my Belkin 54g Wireless pci card.. The problem manifests itself in games as a total system freeze and happens at random times, but is even more easy to recreate in 3DMark ...

I have a built-by-ATI 9800 Pro, just about 5 weeks old, 128 megs, retail boxed.. My understanding is that any that came out after January have the R360.. I have never pulled the heatsink off this to find out for sure, nor has it ever been overclocked. PM me with offer if interested.. Make...
