    GTX 460 SLI - stable temps and speed, can I lower the fan speed?

    awesome thanks for the tips. According to MSI Afterburner the lowest is around 30%, not sure if this is in line with the 40% limit or not. I'm perfectly happy with the noise of the low speed at idle, I guess I'll just test and see how low I can keep it before hitting 85-90 max temps.

    GTX 460 SLI - stable temps and speed, can I lower the fan speed?

    Hey guys, a quick question from an opposite viewpoint as far as overclocking these cards and their heat output. I've got 2 Galaxy GTX 460 768's in SLI, overclocked to 850mhz, and 2000 on the memory. They run perfectly stable and hit a reasonable max temp of ~72C. I know the ceiling for these...

    So who went to MC today to get their SB cpu.

    Not sure if it was a mistake or not, but I was pleasantly surprised to pick up my P8P67 Pro for 159.99, down from MSRP of 229.99. I'm new to the Micro Center experience as I just moved to Atlanta who actually has 2 stores... I think I'm in love.

    PSU toggle switch turns computer half on

    A few days ago, my computer froze up on me (very unusual, never have had problems with it until now), and forced me to shut down by holding in the power button. It was late, so I left the rig off and went to bed. Next day, I went to boot it up and nothing. I decided to test the outlet in...

    HP MCE remote - no IR receiver

    I bought the HP Media Center Remote Control, mainly because its sleek and nicer looking than the Microsoft version. However, when I received it in the mail today, it didn't come with an IR receiver... sooo I called HP and asked what the deal was. To the surprise of the guy on the phone, it...

    Socket 754 Zalman cooler on a Socket 462?

    I'm converting my old PC into an HTPC, and was stupid and for some reason thought I had a Socket 754 processor, it turns out its a Socket 462 AMD Athlon XP 2400+. I ordered a Zalman CNPS8000 Ultra... I'm wondering if its going to fit/work with the socket462? I feel like a noob :(

    What are good value projectors and screens?

    Im looking into getting the Optoma HD70.. 720p for $999 is pretty hard to beat. If thats too steep, check out their 420p model, think it runs for around $600.
