    Almost finished up with my system, questions on memory OC.

    Alright, an additional question. In about 6 years i have had four different systems. I've never had an issue with grounding before. Should I worry that I'm not plugged into a three prong outlet? I've never done it before. I've always used an two prong adapter to be able to plug in my...

    Almost finished up with my system, questions on memory OC.

    Hey guys, Currently i've pumped my e6600 from 2.4ghz to 3.06ghz (240fsb). Its stable as a mofo, i dig it. Its sitting pretty at 1.35v, FSB at 1.4v, and nForce SPP at 1.4v, I'm running the 680i SLI mobo from eVGA, with the 8800GTX also by eVGA, as well as Crucial Ballistix PC1000...

    Um, i dont think this was supposed to happen...help!

    Update: It was a defective DVI cable. I decied to try and use my VGA cable and see if it worked...the DVI worked for a while, but took a dump i guess...strange...never really figured it could be a cable like that. $15 bucks at newegg...not worth the shipping to send it back lol. Thanks...

    Um, i dont think this was supposed to happen...help!

    Ugh, none of that worked, i formatted, tried the cmos clear, reset defaults, unplugged everything...now i'm kinda pissed. An RMA to newegg is going to take forever, its also going to cost me more money. how lame...is there anything else i should try?

    Um, i dont think this was supposed to happen...help!

    Hey guys, i just put my PC together, ran the Nvidia stability test, then i ran the system tuner for 20 min to see what kind of performance i could get. The thing crashed, and when it came back up everything was blurry, i figured it'd stabilize after it was all said and done...it hasnt. the...

    I need help...really really badly!

    Hey guys, i'm building my PC right now, i've got everything in, using EVGA 680i mobo, core 2 duo 2.4ghz 4mb (will oc to 3ghz), and yeah, i have an antec neo he 550w and i'm soooo pissed, it can barely reach the cable from the bottom of the case (p180 by antec) to the 6 pin, i'm using a tuniq...

    About to drop a serious wad. Your suggestions are appreciated.

    That sounds almost hypocritical, after all, OCZ is in the memory business as well. PS is kind of a secondary thing for them too. I originally considered an antec neo 550w...I dont remember what made me switch to the BFG...I think it was something about a cable not reaching inside of my case or...

    About to drop a serious wad. Your suggestions are appreciated.

    Is the BFG really that horrible? They make some good stuff, it was a decent deal...i'm gonna OC my CPU/RAM, run that single 8800gtx and the other stuff i had mentioned. I'm sure the BFG can supply that much power, right? The only thing I dont want is it to fry my system, and it looks to have...

    About to drop a serious wad. Your suggestions are appreciated.

    I took some of your guys' advice. I dropped the OCZ PSU, I ended up picking up a BFG one from my employer for like 94 bucks. 650w. I also went with the ballistix 1000 2gb kit per recommendation. I hit the 19 inch monitor, and when everything was all said and done i'm at about 2600 total...

    About to drop a serious wad. Your suggestions are appreciated.

    Where/how do I go about finding that specific type of memory? I haven't shopped for high performance ram before, i do intend to overclock...i'm going to be pushing the CPU and memory as hard as I can so I can get more out of my system/Video card. I don't want any bottlenecks. I picked the...

    About to drop a serious wad. Your suggestions are appreciated.

    Tomorrow I'm going to go nuts. I am going to drop the largest pile-o-cash I've personally ever spent on anything. Below is my build, the prices, a total, and perhaps a few questions. Suggestions are totally appreciated...some prices have been rounded up to the nearest dollar. Rebates are...

    In need of Massive assistance from a SFF pro. (don't shout in thread titles)

    Alright, I've got a couple questions, but first, some background... This is what I have my heart set on running: E6600 Core 2 Duo (Conroe) 2x WD raptor 74g RAID 0 1x 8800 GTX (With the ability to have SLI down the road) 2 GB DDR2 800 (Expandable to at least 4 gigs down the road)...
