    Aftermarket cooler for i7 in Antec 1200 with Side Fan

    So I am having temperature problems with my i7 950 in my Antec 1200 case. The stock heatsink doesn't handle the high temperatures in my room too well after a few hours of uptime; no air conditioning on a hot day means ambient runs about 80 degrees with my cpu getting up to 60c idling in...

    Problem Installing Windows 7 on a DH67CFB3 system

    Figured it out. It wanted a CD Drive plugged in. NO idea why but once I did plug one in everything worked.

    Problem Installing Windows 7 on a DH67CFB3 system

    So I just built an ITX gaming system using an DH67CFB3 motherboard. Booting went fine and Windows 7 loaded from a USB. When it searched for an HDD, however, it says that it cannot find the appropriate drivers. Since I don't have an optical drive in this build I copied the Motherboard Install...

    Building uATX Lanrig - requesting critique

    PSUs are pretty good at that, so I am not too worried. I have no idea what the heat will be on this, so I have no way of saying it will be like mine. Even if it is we can always get an aftermarket cooler later. Anyways. To put this topic to rest I am going to let you all know we bought the...

    Building uATX Lanrig - requesting critique

    Do you think inside such a small case the processor should be fine for long gaming sessions with the stock cooler? I know my i7 reaches up to 60c playing Skyrim in my Antec 1200 case.

    Do you think ram with heatsinks will fit inside an ITX case?

    Building uATX Lanrig - requesting critique

    Thanks Amzee. That looks just perfect. I'd probably ditch the 500GB drive for now and get the Gskill Gaming ram but otherwise that is exactly what we want. Anyone else feel free to chime in - I don't know much about that motherboard.

    Building uATX Lanrig - requesting critique

    I talked it over with my friend and I tried to get them to choose an ITX build. That would be my first choice, but they were harping on wanting more ram - the Laptop had 12GB; no idea how fast it is but that didn't matter to them since they don't know much about ram speeds. If I went down to...

    1. What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming, Photoshop (or other intensive programs), Overclocking, Web browsing, strictly HTPC/Playback, etc. (If you have multiple things you want to do with the system, make sure you rank them from most important to least important). Gaming (Skyrim, BF3...

    Up or down vote on the 2209WA for gaming and graphics work

    Are there any alternatives that are just as good and in a similar price range that operate at 1080p? I do 1080p work sometimes so having a monitor that can handle that resolution is very important.

    5970 or 295GTX for gamer / 3D animator

    Glad to know that Hardforum can still take any topic and turn it into a pissing contest. GotNoRice: My old watercooling setup sprung a nice leak in the tubing thanks to some mishandling on my part. I learned over the course of my two-year watercooling experiment that I am not enough of a...

    Up or down vote on the 2209WA for gaming and graphics work

    I am looking into a triple-monitor setup for gaming and graphics work. I want low-lag for my FPS and accurate color quality for my print-sensitive film and photoshop work. Does the 2209WA fit the bill? If not, what are the other choices?

    5970 or 295GTX for gamer / 3D animator

    My old 8800gtx sli system just went down and I need to put together a new build. This rig will be both for high-end gaming as well as my main 3D design rig for doing character design and animation in Maya and Mudbox. I've heard that a lot of people are saying that the 5970 comes out on...

    "XBox 360 banned? Too bad, go buy a new console or go away" says Microsoft

    From your article on the effect of piracy: Yes, because people never lie on surveys when they are owning up to stealing stuff. Basically, in the last few posts you have told us not to be upset with pirates. Rather we should shift our blame to executives, who get away with their greedy...

    Please get off your your ethical high horse. Unless you work in the game industry, I really have not sympathy for you. If it were not for people like me and others you wouldn't have any games period. Yes companies exploit things, and yes we need to do our best to combat that, but when I have...

    For sure. I am definitely not saying we should provide sub standard products, but it pisses me off when pirates think they are some how doing us or anyone a favor. All they are doing is scaring shareholders and making it harder for us in the industry to keep secure jobs.

    You can't sit on your high horse and spout stuff like this. As much as you may say you are not part of the target market your loud voice has a lot of sway with those "children" who decide to pirate a game rather than buy it. That costs me, and my friends jobs. Yes, those things we actually...

    What most people forget when they try to "keep it real" by pirating games is that it's not just some evil corporation lining their pockets. There are a ton of real folks - fellow gamers - who are working their ass off to make something you like. Pirating software is pretty much telling them...

    I am another older PC gamer, I can say this is false. PC gamers were just as bitchy years ago, and there was never these "golden" years we are always fond of speaking of around younger gamers. It is akin to the "in my day, we had to walk to school in the snow uphill." As a game designer...

    New gaming and print work monitor?

    So my FW900 is becoming washed out. I've calibrated a few times, but it is on its last legs. This time around I might be willing to compromise on absolute perfection if I can fit two or three of them on my desk. My main goal is to get a monitor that is as good for print work and video...

    New Monitor for Gaming and Graphic Design

    Hey all, I have a FW900 that is working out awesome, but sadly I find it too large for my apartment, leaving no room for my intuous tablet. I am thinking about a new PC build and was wondering if advances in LCD or other tech allows for thin monitors that have similar color capabilities and...

    Can you grow into a noob?

    These guys are giving you some overly difficult reasons for this. The fact of the matter is that as we age we slow down. Mental process, understanding, etc. There is a guy in my gaming group that is 65. He can't hit the broadside of a barn but he has played the game for 4 years. It is a...

    FW900 has gone blurry

    So I woke up today and relized that after a few minutes of being on my Sony FW900 goes really burry. I did some research and people say that means there is a leaky capacitor. Now apparently the repairs are pretty complicated, and it would just be easier to order a new LCD. My question to...

    How often do you replace tubing

    It's just yellow from addiatives. While I am not going to be changing my blocks out, as they are still pretty good, I will probably run vinager through it, to wash the tubing and the blocks, and then replace the tubing. Once I get my laundry and errands done I shall spend tomorrow whiling...

    How often do you replace tubing

    Simple question. Coming on the 1 year mark for my Water Cooling loop, and I am about to do a flush and clean out. Should I replace the tubing or can I get more milage out of it? I have the tubing already, but I know how long ittakes to clean these buggers and taking up an entire day...

    Poor CoD4 Framerate

    No system overclock currently, I only tightened the memory timings. I believe the PCI-E frequency is set at automatic or full. I am running the latest 175.16 drivers, as the 175.19 seem poor.

    Poor CoD4 Framerate

    So I am running a quadcore 8800GTX SLI setup with 4gb of ram, and running CoD4 at 1920x1200 with mid settings I get 90 fps, which then dips down to 50~ when there is a big firefight. I tested the temps on the system and everything is in the green, so I don't think it is clocking back because...

    Pettition to shut up Uwe Boll

    Attaching "Sacred" to GTA is like attaching "Multi-facted and complex" to Archie Bunker. Has anyone stopped to think that maybe the movies are so bad because they are meant to be satirically bad?

    Vista will not assign a drive letter.

    It was working literally minutes before, and it was assigned to the D: drive. A previous internal drive had failed with the same letter and when I reinitialized the array it assigned it back to D:. So both of them were sharing the same name, but I am not sure how to tell it to automatically...

    Pettition to shut up Uwe Boll

    Uwe Boll films are amazing. Amazing because they are so terrible. I know we are all sad that they use video games as they inspiration, but I doubt many of us could defend the prospect of any movie based on Dungeon Siege. Just enjoy them for what they are; amazingly bad films worth a laugh...
