I haven't posted for a long time but I just had to log in here to make a comment. I'm tires of seeing these AMD / ATI fanboys bashing on the new fermi line, it's pathetic. Some of the BIGGEST draws of nvidia cards at this point is the PhysX, 3D Vision, Cuda, etc. support. I could care less...

I have the same issue, my boot used to go right past this cursor but now it hangs for 1-2 minutes no joke until it finally boots. I've updated the bios, reset settings to default, etc. with no luck. I am not overclocking, just a core i7 920 with 6gb of corsair dominator ram. Also have a gtx...

That post was supposed to go up last night, I'm not sure what happened. So the verdict now is that the OCZ 700W power supply was bad. I'm ordering a PC Power and Cooling supply to replace it now. The memory seems messed up too, specifically in that when I was running last night I could not...

Ok I'm super pissed now. I swapped out an old power supply in the place of the new OCZ 700W one, and the system fires right up. What the hell.... I'm grasping at straws at this point trying to figure out why an old 550W would run this, it doesn't even have the 8 pin PCI-E adapter or...

I should note, the GTX 280 fan won't even spin at start. I can't remember if this is normal or not, but I cannot tell if the GTX 280 is even getting powered up at all. Only thing I haven't tried is replacing the power supply, but the MB status lights show that the PCI-E bus is fine. I don't...

Ok, so I built this Core i7 system that I posted earlier, and everything is completely screwed in and perfect overall. When I start the system though, I never get a video signal and the computer does one long beep, then two short ones immediately after. I have read online that this means there...

So no harm done in using 24 pin plus the 8 pin together?

Ok, I'm a bit confused as of late. Motherboards these days like my MSI Platinum X58 say they support either 20 or 24 pin setups. Why would they make 20 pin optional? Shouldn't 24 pin be required? Also, my "CPU" power socket is actually 8 pins total, but it's got a plastic clip over 4...

Yeah I'm a bit pumped now, although I ended up slipping on ice and busted my hand / wrist yesterday plus got a concussion spent 6 hours in the ER. The UPS folks kept insisting they didn't know where my packages were with the last of the parts even though two fo them said out for delivery. I...

Well, the components are all starting to arrive. I've got my CPU and MB here now with some Arctic Silver. Just waiting on the rest tomorrow AM, and I'm good to go. I do have to say, the MSI X58 Platinum looks to be an extremely sweet board. My only complaint right now is that it REEKS so...

I'd like to use Win7, but I'm not in the beta and I haven't seen any way to sign up for it at this time. I have an old MCP cert, I don't know if I can get in that way, but beyond that I've been waiting for a public beta. I'm guessing it will be like the Vista beta though, where you could not...

Wow double positives so far, I'm feeling a little better now atleast. The reviews were bumming me out so hard, I was thinking that I was taking a step down more than a step up. I was actually going to not overclock for the first time since like 1995, but now I feel like I have to. It seems...

Hey there, so here's my situation. I had a power supply blow the other day, but before I could fully diagnose it I was convinced I had a bad motherboard or at least some bad memory. I have a Gigabyte 965-DS3 mb, 4gb corsair ram, E6600, and a Zalman cooler. I ended up doing a bunch of ordering...
