    SLI 7900GTX owner cringing at latest benchmarks...

    FiringSquad have updated their Oblivion benchmarks to get proper Crossfire results - and as an SLI 7900GTX owner, I have to say *ouch*. The main argument I've heard put forward against the X1900 series is poor Crossfire performance, or that the technology is in its 'infancy' (I don't view the...

    For those of you with a Scythe Ninja

    I'm using the Ninja and at the moment, the metal clips to hold the fan in place distort quite a lot - i.e. most of it bends out of the grooves in the Ninja designed to hold it in place. Only the ends of the metal clip are really properly wedged into the grooves. Do I need to take it all out...

    Micron or Infineon?

    Howdy all, Am looking at getting some new RAM and was choosing between: -2GB Team Xtreem Cronus 3-3-2-8 (Infineon) and -2GB Team Xtreem Cronus 3-3-3-8 (Micron) Can someone explain the difference between Infineon and Micron? The Micron is more expensive yet has the lower latencies -...

    Really, really annoying problem...

    Howdy all, I've got a problem downloading files and its driving me crazy! I can download most files okay - .exes, .mp3s, etc. But any file associated with MS Office is a whole different kettle of fish. Trying to download Excel and Powerpoint files, with Internet Explorer the download...

    7900GTX SLI and Oblivion problem

    Anyone running SLI 7900 (GTs or GTXs) and Oblivion? I've got SLI enabled and "Show GPU load balancing" enabled too. This option should produce the white vertical bars on the left hand side, indicating the sharing of the work - this appears whether you choose alternate frame or split frame...

    Question about in-game settings v Coolbits/Control Panel settings

    I've never really sussed this out... If one of my games lists various AF modes, etc., and I choose 2x in-game, but in Coolbits I have it set at 4x, will the Coolbits setting take 'priority'? Are any in-game settings ignored then? Similarly, if the game lists AF modes up to 8x (or...

    Q for those with low multipliers...

    Howdy all, Recently bagged myself an Opty 165, which has a multiplier of 9. Do those of you with similarly low multipliers use memory dividers? I see people overclocking the Opty 165 to around 2.6/2.6 - which would require an FSB of around 280... I just don't think my RAM (Corsair) would...

    Want to upgrade from Thermalright XP-90

    Have got an Athlon 4000+ and with my Thermalright XP-90 (and Panaflo 92mm fan), idle temps are around 34/35 and load temps are around 45/46. Seems a bit high to me. Can someone recommend me a better heatsink to move up to...? My mobo is an MSI K8N Diamond Plus, am *assuming* that most of...

    FS: Athlon 64 4000+ (San Diego)

    Have bought myself an Opty 165 so need to get rid of my 4000+ (San Diego). It's been used for about two weeks in total. I bought it in December but soon after sent my gfx card back to Newegg - then waited until the 7900 series came out, so the processor spent all that time dormant. Since...

    Noob Q about Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

    I've never played Morrowind before and was hoping someone could clarify exactly how the game plays. Basically, I'm looking for an adventure game; something in a similar vein to the ol' Zelda series. I don't mind if its got completely non-linear elements and you can just go off doing what you...

    HP L2335 or Dell 2405?

    Howdy all, Am looking to get a new widescreen monitor to complement the new 7900GTX and was looking at either the HP L2335 or Dell 2405. As I understand it, neither is HDCP-compliant but it seems the 2407 is taking forever to come out so I guess I can live without that for the time being...

    Could someone with SiSoft Sandra do me a favour?

    Howdy chaps, Have got the Asus EN7800GT Dual and had few probs with it - on my A8N32-SLI it worked fine in the secondary PCIe slot but in the primary slot it would only display 1 of the 2 GPUs in Device Manager. On a different x16 mobo, the K8N Diamond Plus, same problem when placed in the...

    Wire Management Q

    Howdy, Have stocked up on zip ties to hopefully sort out my mess of wires, but was wondering what else you guys use to make everything so tidy? Do you just use double-sided tape to attach wires to the side of the case, out of view of the window? Or is there something a bit more complex than...
