Your LCD isnt going to be able to support that 1920x1080 resoloution, you have to find the native res. of you tv then set it to that

i have the asus 590sli board, nice board, good OC. Only prob i have is the placement of the northbridge, it is right under the back of the the 2nd pcie slot, so it looks like i cant do much with performance cooling, not sure of the placement of the NB on the msi.

Already did all of this

Alright, so i have the new Asus 590SLI mobo and my room is in an attic and it can hit extreme temps (even with AC on) and i am having a prob with the northbridge overheating. The problem is that it has that heat pipe circuit cooling and i dont want to take it all out, what is the best...

i personally just ordered a Lian Li V-1000 A Plus 2, it looks nice and has Lian Li quality for $200.

I just picked up my AM2 hardware tonite, cant wait to set it up and play some games!

yea too late, it doesnt matter tho, ill just buy an sli setup then i woulda bought a crossfire board but i couldnt find an am2 version

Quick Q, been out of the loop Will crossfire with 1900 cards work on the new asus 590 sli board?

i have two different profiles in ATI tool, one for gaming the other for chilling.

Not sure if you guys know this but ATI has an "employee purchase program" that employees of Circuit City, best buy and pretty much anyone that sells ati cards can take advantage of. The prices are pretty nice, for instance you can buy an x1800xt for $360 with a $50 mail in rebate, so if you...

i would say wait for the 7900gt, i am hearing some good things for $300

ive been using a split keyboard for almost 8 years now, i would never go back to a reg keyboard...NEVER!

Wow :rolleyes: btw hes in 8th grade, hes at least 13.

they lied to you, scratches are considered physical damage ive went thro this issue before with a customer, it is not covered by the CSP (service plan) coverage. You might be able to purchase the insurance version of the plan that covers physical damage, it depends what market your store is in.

i have a wavemaster and i love it, coolermasters tele support is nice and you can order replacement parts from them for very cheap if you needed too.

This is incorrect i work at CC part time and i sell more service plans than you could ever think and i dont see a dime! I would agree though that most of the PC installs are a ripoff and most service plans are a waste also.

paint supply store like Till or Sherman Williams, talk to someone knowlegable and build a relationship and every time you go back ask for the same dude to build rapport, most likely he'll be more willing to spend time with you to talk and explain differences or keep you updated on new products...

look in your phone book for local sign shops, most of them have the equipment for sand etching or even laser etching. I know that most of them use laser etching to make wood signs and laser or sand for glass pieces for border patterns on dining room table glass, etc.

im liking the Silverstone TJ-07, nothing but excellent reviews

cmon its intel, they have the $$ and power to replace those guys

What kind of score should i be seeing with my setup below? Right now im getting 5500 with stock gpu clocks, that seems low

I just picked up an x850xt, love it, loud blower fan on ATi's version, changed it out for a zalman 700Cu

Im using 5.4 catalyst... and i dont think i turned vsync or aa or af on.. Do u think that those other 8 pipes are closed?

I scored a 3539 in 3Dmark05, does that seem low? my stats are below

Awesome rivatuner says 16x1, thanks

I just got an x850 xt, i was playing around in ati tool and noticed that the prog said i had only 8 piplines rather than 16. Flaw in prog? Or flaw in card? it should be noted that i changed out the stock blower for a Zalman 770 (or whatever) cooler, maybe i got a little extra artic cooler on...

my vote is for the x800, even tho I would still fork the extra couple $$ for a 6800GT

well you dont have to buy 2 Graphics cards at once, you can always buy one, and when you feel like an upgrade, buy the other. It a great upgrade solution for the gamer

if the 5700 is an ultra I would def go with that, otherwise the 5700NU and the 4200Ti are on par, i would prob go with the reg 5700 IMO

take it apart and clean it? that is what id do

hmmm. I would say an athlon 3800, a gig of non performance memory (unless overclocking), 6800U (then get some aftermarket cooling, and overclock the hell out of it), and a 74gig 10k drive to hold system data and games.

btw, unless your using dual channel (which you wont in athlon 64) I would stick with one 1gig stick rather than two 512s

i would recommend shelling out a tad more for a socket 939 system, keep your upgrade path clear in the future.

7... average video card, premodded cheesy case , generic speakers, and a non-mx series logitech setup. no sound "card", integrated?. And the day you see the "peak" wattage of 620 on that power supply is the day you put it in the freezer to keep the temp low enough, i would just stick with the...

well, i work at circuit city. For a brick and mortar to gouge prices is pointless, we would have to price match anyways, newegg and other online retailers can do what they want, bc they know they will sell them at any "reasonable" price. But i do agree, newegg's prices are horrible these days...

awesome job :)

"emulate" is such a scary word in tech language

true, the wildcat has been out for a while

hmmm SLI

i kinda agree, nothing has excited in the computer world lately. this changed with SLI, this is something that im looking forward too, now i actually have to work 20+ hours a week at my second job so i can save up for it :rolleyes:
