I'm wondering if anyone has any experience BSELing a Xeon 5420? Do you only have to cover pin BSEL1 (H30)? Can you provide a pic or diagram of the pin(s) to be covered?

I'm trying to figure out the benefit of putting a production SQL Server setup inside of a virtual machine such as hyper-v or vmware. So far one nice thing would be that I could easily backup the vm image and restore the entire sql server database to a certain date should a hotfix or other...

I'm looking for an RSS reader that will sit in my system tray and popup balloon messages or something to that effect whenever a feed receives new content. Are there any readers out there with this functionality? Or, are there any that you'd recommend me to check out regardless? Thanks...

I'm trying to get 3D acceleration working inside of Hyper-V. I know VMWare has a fix for it as well as Moka but I really dig Hyper-V and was wondering if if anyone has any experience with this and does Hyper-V even support doing this yet?

I recently upgraded from an 8800GT to the 4870 and while so far everything has been peachy keen, one minor gripe I have is that when I ALT+TAB away from a fullscreen game and back into windows (or vice versa) the screen freezes for a good 6-10 seconds before making the switch. Never had this...

I'm looking to buy a new computer desk. The main problems I have are: Needs to support 30" monitor comfortably. Keyboard tray, if any, would have to be wide enough to hold a G15 (the original ver) and mouse. I would be willing to buy a new keyboard that isn't so wide though. Should be...

Currently have the vcore in bios set to 1.5 which ends up around 1.46 after vdroop... but, soon as I try and stress test the voltage will drop to 1.44, then 1.42 and it'll even go as low as 1.41ish which then causes my orthos to error out... Any ideas? It's just the plain IP35 with bios 11...

My budget is $150... any recommendations? I want a mobo that would be able to handle this baby at 3.6 or 3.7.... I see a lot of people using the P5K Deluxe, hows that compare to the cheaper P5K? I don't need anything with SLI, just preferably stable with high fsb overclocks.... Thanks!

What's the fastest CD-ROM you can buy right now?

Will buying a "subscription" increase my Private Message storage space? :)

Anyone using NB cooling on Asus P5B Deluxe with a Tuniq? What fits and works good? I'm worried about clearance... Suggestions?

I have a tube of AS5 that has been sitting around for a couple years... I'm wondering if it's still any good, what do you guys think or know about the life of thermal paste?

Would like to hear your guys thoughts on what fan to use inside the Tuniq? Looking for something <25db... Also, has anyone tried using an LED fan? I'd think that it would create a pretty cool effects... Anyone have pics? :)

I just got a TJ09 and would like to toss some LED fans in all 5 spots. Any good recommendations for something in the blue or green variety, with a good db/cfm ratio? I'm looking for something that is relatively quiet, but still pushes enough air to do the job... Thanks! P.S. Also, if...

I recently picked up an Asus P5B Deluxe and a Tuniq Tower 120 and would like to know what you guys suggest for cooling my northbridge? I don't actually have the motherboard yet so it's hard for me to judge the clearance that will be available between the NB and the Tuniq. Do any of you have...

I have some Corsair TWINX1024-3200XLPRO (2x184dimm) (link) that is horribly failing memtest86 test #6. I get somewhere around 700 errors during the pass. I have an AMD X2 3800+ w/ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe and I'm running everything at stock speeds. Now, when I put this ram in another system, it...

I recently purchased an AMD X2 3800+ and an ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe. Here's my problem: When I use windows explorer to browse the contents of my hard drive, I'm finding that it is lagging as I work my way into the directory tree. I'll click on "C:" for example, and it will take about 1 second...

I've heard a lot about the x2 3800+ overclocking well on air but I'm still unsure as to which processor I should buy for my new A8N32-SLI Deluxe. What kind of speed can I expect to reach with a 3800+ using air? I thought I've read around 2.5GHz... would the stock hs/f be sufficient for these...
