I'm in a dilema at the moment. My motherboard died on my Q9450 that was running at 3.6GHZ. Its the motherboard as I tested the memory and cpu on my friends computer. The real question is should I go ahead and find another motherboard for the Q9450 or should I upgrade. Is it worth the upgrade...

Do not know if this is a respost, but I'm ordering one for that price.
I can't decide on which FC block to go with for my 4870 I ordered to today. I was looking at the XSPC Razor 4870 block and I don't see much information about this block anywhere around. The price is good as they go for around $79.99. The quality and craftsmanship looks to be there. What...
I have a damn problem with my htpc. I installed a 3850 card in my HTPC but i cannot get it to display on my tv. I have a sony 40" tv, using the HDMI connecter and the screen always goes black. I'm really getting fed up to the point of throwing the HTPC out the window. What driver version...
Anybody got any thoughts about this router? I'm looking into a good router, especially with wirelss capability and I saw this one. Price is not bad and just want to replace my pos lynksys router I had for years. How troublesome is it to set up correctly?
Anybody got a problem where you placed an order for a laptop and asked for 2nd day air? They gave it to me but it has been 5 days since it was shipped? I'm a bit pissed off about it as they used DHL and they blow ass.
Today, Dell is having a great deal on a XPS M1530 laptop which is not bad at all of a deal which they throw in a 9Cell battery as a free upgrade as a few other things for 1199. One thing that I would like to know which is a better upgrade, 1440x900resolution screen to a 1920x1020 screen for...
Anybody know of a good cooler that I can buy for my HD3850 that would fit? I tried using my Thermalright HR-03 Rev. A but it's too tall. Hits the top of the box. The card runs a bit hot to the touch and I don't liek that at all.
I decided to sell the 939 parts out of my HTPC and buy something that is cooler since I want to make it silent since I failed to find a used 939 CPU that worked. Here is the following parts that I'm selling and will be posting pictures when I get home today.

I have a dilema on choosing which motherboard and cpu for my HTPC. I had an old DFI board with a 939 CPU I bought just recently that I used but when I received the CPU it wasn't working. Now I'm searching around to see what I can buy to replace the 939 setup and I'm stumped into wether going...
I picked up a Zalman HD160XT HTPC box and I'm wondering if I shoulI watercool it? The setup that is going in there was watercooled and would want to keep it that way. Would a 120 Radiator would be sufficient to cool a Opteron 170 and maybe a HD3850 card? I'm wanting to go this way because my...
I'm about to buy a Dell XPS M1530 Laptop and I was wondering if i should upgrade the CPU from a T8300 to a T9300. Is it worth the investment or not? Would of be better to upgrade the HD to a 7200 RPM one instead? Just don't know much about notebooks and this is going to be my first one I own...
I'm in the process of gathering some parts, which most are left overs from my recent upgrade and I'm in a stump on what direction to go. I have a DFI LanParty UT CFX 3200-DR Socket 939 with a Opteron 170 that I overclocked to 2.5GHZ on a water cool system. The question that I have is, should I...
It's been a while since I messed with my water cooled system and yesterday I did a bit of a clean up, some wiring issue also done. The system had a bit of gunk inside of it, still trying to figure what caused it as I cleaned everything before I put it in and it might be because I've been using...
Does anyone what fan size to use for the Northbridge cooler? I searched around but couldn't come up with an answer. It looks like a 50MM will fit but how about the thickness?

I have a question about Core voltage control. I noticed that in CPUZ the voltage is at 1.296 but it drops to 1.264 once I start the stress test on Prime and my setup is on my sig. Is this normal or is there something wrong?
I'm running Pentosin in my system and noticed something white with a blue tint to it in the system. I took the blocks apart they were coated this stuff, a thin coat. What would cause this? Was it because i had too much pentosin it or something else? How do I clean the radiator anyways?
Well I finally got my new replacement chip as the other chip it had stuck sensors. I did did a quick Prime test and my temps were as follow:
46 48 46 47
Idle temps are as follow:
36 39 36 37
Are these normal for a water cool system? I haven't let the Artic 5 cure yet so I dont' know...
I'm about to buy a Creative XFI Xtreme Gamer and I was wondering if the front panel that came with my Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum will work on it? They look the same just that it says XFI instead of Audigy 2 like mine has. Anybody knows about this?
Well I got Real Temp 2.41 and I think I got bad temp sensors. The first core idles at 32 C, but the others are stuck at 45, 43, and 42. What can I do about that? Can I RMA it or is it the program? This sucks. It's only a week old, maybe Microcenter will trade it.
Does anyone know what temp program to use to monitor the chips temps? I use the latest Coretemp and I don't think it's giving me the right temps. They dont' sound right as one core is 40 at idle and the rest is just sitting there at 53 C. Is this right or not? Look at my sig for my setup.
I'm new to Intel and do I need to install any type of driver Q9450 CPU? I had to do that with my AMD Opteron 170. Sorry if this is a dumb question. So far, things has gone smoothly. Only problems I have encountered with the install was ATI drivers and I still can't get my Sound blaster...
Is the price they charging for them now, even worth it? I was looking into buying one about a month ago but for some reason Dell has been jacking up the prices on the laptops. It's ridiculous how I could of gotten the laptop I wanted last week for 150 dollars cheaper than now. What is going...
I'm in the process of upgrading my computer, going to the Intel camp now and I'm wondering if I should replace my video cards. Right now I have 2-X1900 cards in crossfire mode and I was wondering if one 3870 card was better than them two? Or should I just skip ATI and jump over to the NVidia...
I'm deciding wether or not to go to the Intel camp as their processor offer better performance than AMD at the moment and I always buy what is the best at the moment. Will I see any differences between the too? Meaning since AMD has the build in memory controller, would I notice this or not...
I'm in the process of upgrading my computer and don't know what brand of memory. I always bought OCZ but I want to lean into a different brand. Maybe something better than OCZ.
I have a problem with my Dfi Lanparty UT CFX3200-DR/G motherboard which really annoys the heck out of me. Once in a while when I'm playing games, the computer freezes. I thought it was my Audigy sound card as it lost sound after it recovered without rebooting the computer. I had to wait...
