    What's the difference with all the EVGA 680 boards on newegg?

    Why so many flavors of this board? I'm thinking of getting this as my next board but I have no clue what the differences are.

    Which 8800GTX is best?

    I'm not going to even attempt to search for eVGA, BFG, XFX in this forum. I'm shopping newegg right now and I have no idea which 8800GTX card to get. Which is the best performer and which has the best warranty?

    So, should I go Intel quad or wait for Barcelona?

    I'm in dire need of a new PC. My AMD 3500 and vanilla 6800 cant run shit anymore. I finally have the cash to get the best of the best but I dont come across this much cash often. I'm in a real dilemma here. I know this is the AMD forum and a few AMD !!!!!!s may chime in and say wait, but I'm a...

    A8N-SLI Deluxe Memory tips?

    I'm sure lots of people have this board. Could someone explain a little about the 1T 2T memory timings a little. I'm reading up on OC'ing my memory but some guides make references to ratios and what not that I can't seem to match in my bios. Thanks

    AMD 3500 @ 1.5 Vcore - too much?

    Ok, I got my chip up to 2.5GHZ with the following: 250 3x HT 10x Mult 1.4625 volts I was fine for a while, did prime95 all night but today it's acting a little flakey. What's the purpose of the 3x HT setting? My bois says that I can only go up to 1.65 volts for vcore. How are people pushing...

    Temps are fine, barley hitting 40C yet.

    AMD 3500 @ 1.5 Vcore - too much?

    Is this too much? Is there a hard limit documented? Got my rig to 2.5Ghz which is pretty good for me, but I'm wondering if my vcore setting is too much.. I'd hate to fry my cpu.

    Will my CPU melt if Prime95 hangs?

    Well, I guess I'm not afraid of Prime failing becuase it stops. I'm curious on what happens when my entire PC locks up and what that means for temps.

    Will my CPU melt if Prime95 hangs?

    I'm dying to stress test my CPU overnight but I'm not sure what will happen if my PC locks up mid-stream while I'm sleeping. Is there any harm to setting a risky overclock speed and having prime run unattended? if the PC locks, will it cuase any problems for my CPU if I'm not around to reboot...

    TCaseMax temp

    Anyone know if this is something new or were we able to get this value before? Does it mean anything? I think if it's a true cap, then overclocking potential can be better determined.

    TCaseMax temp

    Been playing with the Core Temp program and it says that my Venice 3500 has a TCaseMax of 55 degrees celcius. Now I'm afraid to let the chip get that hot as I just picked up a big ass CPU fan and wanted to do some overclocking. Even though I'm up to 2.4Ghz with 38deg temps, I'm afraid to get...

    Better than a vanilla nV 6800?

    I'm looking to upgrade my vid card. I have a barebones 6800/128MB. This thing has a crappy fan/heatsink. I was suprised that it was actually a 6800. My old AGP 128MB/6800 had a bigger fan/HS and needed its own power. This PCIx variety seems lame. I cant compare performance becuase I got a new...

    nVidia Image Quality Questions

    I strictly play racing simulations. I've always used nVidia for all my gaming needs but I'm finding that the image quality sucks bad. The track lines and curbs always appear aliased and jagged, even with tons of AA and AF. Speaking of AA, nVidia's implementation sucks. Will nVidia ever do...
