    Crossfire works on an 'unsupported' chipset (785G)...hunh?

    I've been running a 5770 on my Asrock 785G for a while and finally decided to get a second one to do Crossfire with, partly since I've always wanted to do this since the Voodoo2 days but just never got around to it. :) While the card was on the way from Newegg, I did some research about how...

    Aftermarket heatsink for the 4650?

    Kick in the pants for watercooling?

    Since y'all are on the [H] forum you've probably already seen the article linked on the front page... http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2006/03/08/intel_liquid_cooler/ ..looks pretty cool, and this could make liquid cooling very mainstream. Only 50$ for a good system with a peltier sounds...

    Use 940 Opteron in a 939 board?

    Probably a silly question, but...is this impossible? I have some leftover Opterons after an upgrade and S940 mobo's are expensive. Is it possible to use them in a cheaper 939 mobo?
