    Enermax Galaxy 1000 - Mom never told me about UPS size

    Bought a Geeksquad 700 UPS. It screamed overload when I had my 24" dell and puter plugged into the UPS slots. Switched them over to the surge-only slots. Didn't even think about a UPS not handling all that wattage. That new power factor correction also trips a GFCI circuit, but it all works...

    Why does my memory speed change if it is unlinked

    If I set my FSB to 1400 or 1600, my memory clock stays at 800MHz but if I move anywhere in between, my memory clock moves into the 700s. Why does the memory clock move around if I have the FSB - Memory speed option set to 'unlinked'?

    680i 6600 overclock - orthos crash

    So if I wanted orthos stability, is the first step lowering the FSB frequency or lowering voltages? If FSB, what Mhz increments do you recommend ratcheting down on...10Mhz at a time 1600 to 1590 etc? Same for voltages, .1v at a time or what?

    HardOCP Needs Your Input!!!!! Please Read!!!!

    My CPU is at 30C idle. My enermax is mounted to pull from inside the case (per their suggestion) even though the TJ09 has a bottom grill and I could have pulled from the outside but with the clearance between the bottom of the case and my carpet, I didn't think the airflow would be too good. I...

    680i 6600 overclock - orthos crash

    Should I care if Orthos crashes my system after 75 seconds but my games and regular computer use never cause any problems? My core temp never goes over 45 degreesC.

    anyone runing the eVGA 680i board in here? If so, come on in.

    I'm running stable at the current config at 30 degrees stationary, and up to 45 under heavy use. Voltage FSB is 1.5. My 3dmark06 was 10k+ and the CPU rating was at 2900ish. No problems so far (fingers crossed). Memory and GPU overclock is next....once I figure out enough of what and how to...

    Please review my build list

    Okay, I'm gonna ask two noob questions: 1. How do you point the puter to use one drive for the OS? 2. Where the best how-to-build FAQ on the net, cuz this will be my first?

    What's with the EVGA superclocked gtx on newegg? Does that just mean they overclock it before they send it to you? If so, i guess the benefit is you get an overclocked GPU with the warranty still in place for an extra 20 dollars?

    okay, you guys have dropped me about 1400 bucks...rock on. How much performance drop will I see with the single barracuda instead of twin 74s? Does it affect gameplay, say in SOE's new Vanguard MMO? I won't be using the rig for anything but games, no storage, no publishing, no 20 speakers...

    Please review my build list

    I've been convinced by these forums to build my own "high" end rig rather than pay overdrive or maingear to do it. Can the resident geniuses please take a look at my build list and let me know of any changes i should make for: 1. better performance or quality (without a big price spike), 2...
