Thanks for help guys but im kinda confused with the different kinds of cables. like these have 28AWG HDMI-DVI Cables 26AWG HDMI-DVI Cables Premium 24AWG HDMI-DVI Cables Professional 22AWG HDMI-DVI Cables which should should i get...does it really matter that much? what does it mean?

I have a computer which has an ATI 4870 which has 2 dvi outputs. my tv has vga, hdmi, componet and composite but no dvi. it was has some connectors to hook up audio via 3.5 mm. what would be the best way to hook the 2 up?

anyone know?

hmm at first 2a and 4a were flickering. if i move down some it stops and now 2b and 4b do it. hmm??? it seems to be strong for the whole screen something wrong, anything i can do?

most of the time it doesnt but sometimes when i load a certain webpage or game that displays a certain color it'll do it. like this https://endoftheinter.net/ ill see it flicker like little lines of it flickering really fast....it looks like the whole background is moving its not too bad...

no it does this from multiples sites from different rars. even officail drivers as well. ran memtest for a few hours. it passed 7 times. i tried doing the eval copy of winrar. still didn't work.

Ok so i downloaded this album here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=86LZE6UE and everytime i try to extract it i get different errors. 1st time ! C:\Users\Daniel\Desktop\Shins_WincingTheNightAway_MP3.rar: CRC failed in Shins_WincingTheNightAway_MP3\04 Phantom Limb.mp3. The file is corrupt...

hmm thats what someone else said. He said that the ports should be COMPLETELY downward compatible and should accommodate any x4 or x1 card with absolutely no problem. well i just called up a techsupport guy and he said that the pcie 16x port was for graphic cards only. their tech support...

hey you helped me in this thread http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/ [...] ewbie-here but I guess I overlooked the fact that The interface of 3Ware 9650SE-4LPML only supports is PCIe x4, so it must be used in a PCIe x4, PCIe x8, or PCIe x16 slot. I didn't realize but the mobo I got( gigabyte...

oh is it? still seems high lol. is that what most people get? is the cpu temp high or average??? and isn't there a hotfix or something to fix the speed of the fan???

wow i just realized how misleading that post could have been. Yeah those are the fps numbers not temps haha. yeah the front fan using a 3 pin. All of the fans are 3 pins and so are all of the receivers on the mobo are also 3 pins. Do you know if I can buy extensions at bestbuy or radioshack?

Ok well I ran the video stress test in cs:s and I did it 4 times. This is what I got 190 142 274 272 however the first 2 times I were looking at the temps. they didn't really rise that high but I guess its because it wasn't too demanding :P

And know I haven't tried reseating the heatsink...you think I installed it wrong? or maybe I applied too little thermal grease?? And I tried running cs 1.6 but I think there's a problem with steam. I can't join a game online. I will try another game though.
