Idea: Remove GPU fan and shroud, leave exposed heatsink to be cooled by 2 x120MM 1350RPM Gentle Typhoons I'll preface this by saying that I have an NCase M1 so the video card is right in front of these bottom mounted fans. I got a 7870 PCS+ that was watercooled but after taking it off for...

Been ages since I upgraded my rig. What GPU would be best for a Q6600 for 1920x1200 res? I got a 880GTS 640 now. (SUPER OLD!)

Right now I have a 150 Raptor but its not enough space with my games and Adobe CS4. It wasn't too big of a problem because I mainly work on my MBP but I want to migrate some of my work to my pc just for kicks. Since I need more storage I was wondering if I should get another 150 Raptor and...

My main system specs are in the sig. What I do have are 2 WD6400AAKS HDD with TONS of movies and tv shows on there. I use shark007's codec pack, http://shark007.net/, for a while now and haven't seen problems really except this... From time to time, and this doesn't happen every time, I...

I don't get the hype with this game. I tried this game because my buddy asked me to, and I couldn't for the life of me get into this game... I tried for over a month. I mean I like large scale games, and I like RPG type elements like leveling and what not but I just don't get it... What is this...

I tried searching around but so far no luck. I bit on the Far Cry 2 deal on Steam and DL'd Far Cry 1 but it won't launch. I'm running it on the specs in my sig. I tried installing the 64 bit patch but it wouldn't install. Anyone get it running with Vista 64? Thanks in advance!

First off, my little set up at home is really simple, I have a modem and a wireless router. Absolutely nothing fancy. Now last night I was playing a little bit of Metal Gear Online when I kept getting disconnected from my network. Than after a while I couldn't sign into the PSN because of a...

How hot is the north bridge suppose to run? I check the temps in a grey screening Mac Pro and it's about 80 degree celsius. I think the screening is because of overheating because it's been working fine for months, without any sort of installs of software and everything is fine permissions and...

The company I am working for is considering buying a Xerox Phaser 7750 printer used from "Mr. X" for 2000. The printer has had 90k prints and was bought in 2004. What's the average lifespan of this printer?

Delete, I solved it.

http://www.psbeyond.com/news/Rumor-Future-firmware-to-offer-PS2-support.581.html It could happen, but I still say bull.

I got the Ironman demo for the PS3 and I thought to myself, "it could look better if I played it on my PC!" So I went out to get it and now I have found out that the game is a port, but from the PS2 version. My eyes bled at how horrific it looked. Why not just rape consumers? It's easier...

I went online the other day, maybe for an infection match after a couple months of me throwing the game in a corner... And there were 9 people in TOTAL online. I kept refreshing and I kept getting the same result. What a waste of my money, seeing as how I thought there would've been redeeming...

Quick question, I have a bunch of OGG files and need them converted to MP3 ( to put in itunes ) What's a good software solution?

Alright I'm just going to throw this out there, I feel like the PS3 community is constantly being shafted in the games coming out. 1/ COD4 has no rumble support, IW has made it clear that rumble is not their concern for future patches 2/ The COD4 map pack is being released 21 days later...

Today I played a great couple games, won around 4 out of 5 Team Deathmatches before class... We're in the lobby and this guy joins in with a level 4 prestige and level 34 ranking. After he joins my team starts losing hard, I mean we're losing 750 to 250. A couple games. So I'm thinking "Wow...

I was playing with my friend on his xbox360 and THIS happened: If you look closely, the guy is aiming at the wall but his bullets are hitting me... ( I died in this conflict ) I don't know... I've heard of a lag cheat that people use, but are there any sort of aim bots?

When I play COD4 I barely hear the disc spinning in the drive, but I popped in The Darkness last night and man was it loud. The PS3 kept accessing the disc and it seemed like it was struggling or something... I was wondering if this was normal on everybody else's PS3's...

When I start up HL2 I get "ai disabled..." To clear some things up I have a legit copy of HL2 because it came with The Orange Box and I am running Vista 64. I tried editing the .cfg file and doing ai_disable 0 in the console but it still says "ai disabled..." Any ideas?

My p5k-e wifi/ap is reading the Q6600 at 16 as a whole in degrees C in Everest but the cores are being read around 35-40 range each. I checked the temps within bios and the cpu is also read at 16 degrees. I... don't understand the problem. Is it a motherboard bios problem? I'm running bios...

I finally got my mobo back from RMA and the weirdest thing happened. I RMA'd it because it wouldn't boot inside my case. The new mobo booted fine outside and fine once inside the case. Than the problems started again... cold booting problems where the video card's fan went nuts. I moved the...

I got a PS3 for Christmas!!! And I've been playing with it for 9 hours straight... I think I've gone blind... I've played a couple game demos and I have to say I love this thing. Although FPS games are... slower... it's still fun! :D Now I know there are a lot of things to consider... but...

Who's tried this software? http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XLink_Kai The wiki page says that it supports cross console but I was wondering if it was true cause my buddy and I have RB6:V but he has an XBOX 360 and I got a PS3. We just wanna play lan co-op and...

Okay so here is my problem. My computer powers on but sometimes there is no image being put through the dvi, sometimes it does. When there is information being transfered to the screen the fan on the video card is running at normal speeds. When there is no information being transfered the fan...

Should I hop on a EVGA 8800GTS 640 for $250 or a 2900XT for $290 OR should I wait for whatever is going to come in the next few weeks? I am still waiting for my board from being RMA's because of a dead bios... Suggestions? Edit: the 8800GTS is the 96 sp version Edit again: the 2900XT is the...

So I've been searching left and right for a brick and mortar type establishment to buy an 8800GT... I shouldn't but I really want one.:p SO I finally found a store that has one for 258.99 and it's an Asus. BUT I also found an EVGA at Futureshop for 309.99.(the regular non-oc'd version) Other...

http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/07/11/06/apple_chastised_for_ignoring_two_mac_data_loss_issues.html Check them hard drive model numbers and firmware version boys... this could be a rough ride.

Long story short, STUPIDLY I used the included program and instead of flashing with a floppy, usb key, or a cd, I flashed through windows. Erased the bios, flashed it, couldn't verify it. The computer reset, and everything started whirling up and off it went. Powered back on and did the...

Delete this thread, I made a mistake.

So I changed video cards, but they are both Nvidia; 6800GT to 8600GT. Before the change I could play dvds, but after the change a message pops up saying DRM something something could not verify some codec... reinstall video drivers. So I reinstalled my video card drivers but I still get...

I can't get the game to work, I even run it for windows 98 compatibility mode and all it does is show the red loading bar and crashes straight to desktop. I have the hardware requirements for the game, installed dx9c, installed a missing D3DX9_27.DLL when asked for it, but still a no go...

So I bought a BFG 8600GT OC for $110 used but I got the warranty, and I was wondering if this was a WISE decision in replacing an old XFX 6800GT. I can see the 6800GT's age when I play Medal of Honor: Airborne and that made me sad. So I believe I made a good decision, but I need to hear from...

http://img87.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img6068od2.jpg If you look at the image there are weird lines going across the screen... small but noticable. This only happens when I open certain applications and the lines move with the application. Is this a display problem, dvi cable problem or a...

I have an IR receiver and I want to hook it internally and directly to the motherboard. My problem is firstly the usb cable is way too long and I want to cut it down, how exactly should I go about doing that? Ultra noob question... but we have to start somewhere right? =) Secondly, I know to...

When I booted instead of an Apple logo, I got a logo that was Earth. Anybody else get this?

You know when they say 3rd times a charm? This isn't my case with my display on my Macbook Pro, because recently I've noticed darker areas on my screen on both sides of my display. Not only that, but also my bluetooth signal constantly drops forcing me to restart my computer to get it back up...

Would it be possible to throw in a q6600 into one of the new mac minis?
