I've got an issue with both my front and back USB3.0 ports (front panel USB plugged into header). I can't use any of the ports with my USB 3.0 External Drive (WD passport) although the white active LED is on. Windows never recognizes that it is connected. I can connect to it through any of the...
At first I thought my old Salmosa's middle-click was just broken, but then I discovered that their software just deactivates it. I know that the click is registering because I can set the middle mouse click to a left click, and it works perfectly. However, I can't get it to be utilized as a...
Hi guys,
I got my first watercooled loop up recently, and I thought everything was going fine, until I tried to play a game. The game has some bugs, so it might not be this, but the game was crashing my system after playing for only a very short time. I decided to download FurMark and GPU-Z...

Hey guys, I've got a problem you might be able to help me with:
I picked up my laptop while it was running, and then the screen turned black and the fans stopped spinning. The power led button still glowed green however. I could not depress the button to turn it off, so I pulled the battery...
Hey, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what threading the motherboard standoffs in the TJ07 accept? Also, what type of screws for PSU mounting? I need to buy some.
Thanks!
Hey, anyone got any info on the iphone 4 being out before the end of november on any carriers other than AT&T in North America? I've got a feeling I'm gonna hate that 2gb cap...
What materials or products do you guys use for sound dampening? What case do you use with it and how effective is it? How does the rubber stuff like fatmat and dynamat compare to the foam?
Thanks for the help!
Hey guys I got a few questions for my first loop:
Do you use anything on your threads like locktite to prevent coolant from leaking from the thread holes? If so, what do you use?
Are worm drive clamps + barbs or compression fittings alone usually enough to prevent leaks?
What are your...
I'm looking for the best standalone tool to cut a side window and several 120mm holes into a case. This means no jigsaws, tin snips, or nibblers, because I will have to get a drill to cut a pilot hole.
I've been looking at Rotary Tools (I found a 16,000rpm single speed one for cheap) and this...
Would slot load drives pulled from laptops have any issues working in a desktop configuration? I'm worried that the mobo won't recognize it and there will be no driver for it, or perhaps that it physically won't fit, or maybe the connector is different.
The reason I ask is that these pulled...
Hi, I'm trying to find this test bench style case I found a while back for my friend. The mobo should be sitting on an incline, exposed, with most of the components in the box, which is kind of shaped like a wedge.
Here are some custom benches that look like it...
Will a dual 140mm radiator mount to the top of a Panzerbox with the included plates? It seems like it will, but I'm not sure, and I'd like to see if anyone has done something similar.
When I run blend, almost immediately after I click begin, one of the workers says "Cannot initialize FFT Code, errcode= 1005" The worker that gets this message changes every time. What's wrong?:confused: Run on a 1090T, M4A89GTD PRO (Stock settings, no overclock), and 4gb Corsair XMS3 1600MHZ...
Hi, I have a few issues that with a new computer I built.

I did a modest overclock @ 3.8 Ghz, which I tested using prime 95 for 3 hours, temps and...
I was wondering what options other than Atom solutions there are out there that are compact (13 inches or less), have high battery life (4 hours plus), are available under $400, and that can play 720 video. Also, Pros and Cons to buying a non-atom solution?
I've looked into older laptops like...
I just got my m audio av40s and when I plug in my headphones into the phone jack, the sound just only comes out of the control tweeter and doesn't send any sound to the earphones. My audio input is via 3.5mm aux-in for now right next to the headphone jack, could that be why? Could it be software...
My onboard ethernet on p55-ud3p isn't showing up in windows 7. I plugged it in to a wired connection, and at first it didn't work, so tried repairing the connection. Then, it worked. But then, I unplugged the ethernet cable to move it, and when I tried to connect again, the onboard LAN...
Looking for an audio setup under 100- I listen to everything from electronic to classical, and I like my music with palpable bass, but not oversaturated. I game and watch movies more than listen to music however.
Is it possible to add a sub to the phillips ambx starter kit? What kind of outputs besides regular speakers does it have? I was thinking about getting a logitech x2300 sub to add to this system.
I'm on a tight budget, but I really want to get my 750 up over the 4.0ghz barrier, a quieter system, and a more impressive aesthetic. I'm looking to spend around $220 for everything, what is the best loop I could create from that?
Key points:
Only looking to have the CPU in the loop
Can...
I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, but anyway-
I recently overclocked my proc, ran prime on it for a while to confirm it was stable, then played crysis warhead without a hitch for about an hour.
When I next turned it on and tried to play it, the game would consistently...
I have a new build that i used a 630w Type-m from Hiper to power that i bought from xoxide sale on impulse (boy do I regret it know) , but i think its doa because the build isn't powering on at all. Some others have complained about it happening to them as well, and that Hiper's U.S. support is...
With my new build, my memory heat spreaders are too tall, so I had to mount my heatsink so the fans blow horizontally. Right now I have it set like this:
<=120mm exhaust fan---Heatsink-Intake fan<=Memory
Will the cpu fan take in too much hot air from the memory as to be detrimental to the...
I have 2 Target gift cards that I want to sell together, 1 is worth $6, the other is worth $50, I'm looking for $50 (shipped if you want it) pretty firm, that is a total of 12% savings on anything you want to buy at Target.

I picked up a couple Aerocool Streamliners in a recent sale to get free shipping, but the 120mm fan adapters don't work with my case- So I was thinking I would try to attach one to my heatsink (Noctua NH-U12P). Would this be effective and how should I do it? The traditional fan clips won't work...
I've got a new system build just lacking a video card- would it be better to buy a Nvidia Step-up program applicable card now and upgrade to GT300 or go with an HD5870?
As a side note- If I decided to go with the Radeon, would it be worth it to wait a couple months on the 5870, say until...
EDIT: Sorry, no one probably knew what I was talking about, somehow I got it into my head it was called the IS-3, but I am referring to the NM-I3 SecuFirm2™, the free Noctua I5 mounting kit!
How long should I expect to wait for a reply/confirmation of some sort from Noctua that my NM-I3...
Looking for Dual channel 4GB DDR3 at 1333mhz or higher for $50 shipped and a SATA CD/DVD drive for $15 shipped.
Bought PCI wifi card.
Already bought proc.
Thanks for looking, budget tight but can adjust a bit- just let me know if you are in the ballpark!
I got the Razor Salmosa about a month ago, after this period I've noticed that this mouse squeaks rather than clicks about every other mouse press, and its gotten a bit irritating, has anyone experienced this and and mended it?
Most motherboards seem to have a couple PCIe 2.0 x16 slots open for video cards and then some smaller PCie 2.0 1x slots for expansion. I assume the x1 slot will be used for expansion of an existing system into USB 3.0, but won't the PCIe slot bottleneck the speed (4.8 gb/s) at its bandwidth of...
How relevant do you think PCie 3.0 will be to future performance in computers? How much of a speed boost will it give to graphics cards? Do you think it will be a factor in the next 3-4 years? Thanks.
I read that this thing can't even fit an HD3850! This spoils my build if it is true. Can it fit a conventional 10.5 in card? If not, what is the smallest case in its price range ($39.99) that can fit a 10.5" and an ATX motherboard? Thanks!
I'm considering building a portable desktop for when I haul off to college in september, so I was wondering if there were any major price drops/new releases that will come out between now and then.
Particularly focused on the price drops of processors and graphics cards. Thanks.
