I've been using Windows XP since it came out, but with my new system I thought I would jump to Windows 7. I bought the Windows 7 Home Premium for system builders. I noticed on the package that it says I will need to obtain some OPK software... When looking into this at microsoft's website I...

Hi guys, I just received my Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P and was in the process of installing my CPU heat sink when I realized it wasn't going to fit on the motherboard. I was using a Thermalright Ultima-90 and there is a heatsink on the motherboard that won't allow me attach it to the bracket...

Thanks for all the replies. :) I believe I will go ahead and aim for the Gigabyte EP45-UD3P considering I can get it for 5 bucks more than the UD3R. I haven't had good luck with ASUS in the past so I think I will avoid the P5Q. I'm needing some suggestions on memory for the UD3P now. I think...

Hi guys, It's been awhile since the last time I worked on a PC or even looked for parts (2 kids in the last 3 years.. lol) so I'm kind of clueless at the moment. I have a Q6600 processor that I need to get a motherboard and memory for. I doubt I would do any OCing right away, but it would be...

I got my case today, but I ran into a little problem. The screws they sent me to mount my hard drives with are too big for the holes in the sliding tray. Is this a common problem?

Thanks guys. That's what I was wondering. :)

What are the differences between the p180 and p182? Is one better than the other?

Would I need to go with the 620HX to power 2 EVGA 6800 video cards, a Q6600, and 1 raptor in a Antec p182 case?

I'm having the same problem. I'm actually trying to view the 33rd page of the thread that SC385 mentioned, but I can't.

I think I'll exchange this case... What's a good place to order the p182 from? Does the SE come in black?

I've got a quick question for you p182 owners. I have a Thermalright Ultima 90 with a 120 Scythe S-FLEX fan... I mount it onto my new Asus P5N-T Deluxe motherboard, and go to slide it into my Silverstone TJ-03. The Ultima 90 might barely fit if I installed it while it was in the case, but the...

I was wanting to use this sweet Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F with my Thermalright Ultima 90, but it's only 3-pin. My motherboard has a 4-pin connector for the CPU_FAN. Can I still use it, or will I need to buy a 4-pin fan (any suggestions on brand if so)? Thanks for any help.

Thanks guys.

Thanks for the reply. The fan is actually facing the same direction in both pictures. So, to clarify. I need to put the fan with the label facing the heatsink in order for it to blow through the heatsink and to the rear exhaust fans?

Hey guys, First time builder.. I was putting the fan on my heatsink, and began wondering if I had it on correctly. I just put it on label out, because I guess I thought that was correct. I'm actually not even sure which way the air would travel or should travel. Would it be best to blow...

Would I have any problems fitting that Thermalright Ultra 120 extreme into my case? Silverstone TJ03 http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_spec.php?pno=tj03&area=usa

I just purchased this CPU from ZZF: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad-Core Processor 2.4GHz, 1066FSB,LGA775, 8MB cache. I'm looking for a fan/heatsink that will keep it ice cold, and not be too noisy. I don't plan on doing any OC. Here are a couple I was checking out: ARCTIC COOLING Freezer...

Thanks man. That Samsung looks just right.

My mother in law wants to get her son a LCD, so he'll have more room on his desk at school. She wants to spend $300.. Can you guys recommend something?

Thanks! That looks like just what I was looking for. :)

Can someone with a D-Link wireless router walk me through setting this up securely? I have a D-Link DI-624 I'm pretty much confused about the whole thing. How does the WEP Encryption work? Should I use 64 bit or 128 bit? HEX or ASCII? How does the key work? Do you type it in everytime...

Hey guys, I've had my system built for a couple of months now, but just got around to running some benchmarks (Been catching up on my games). I don't know alot about benching, or what settings you guys generally run. Let me know how these are. :) 3DMark03 1024x768 3DMark03...

N/M found it.

Where in the name of all that is good is the location of number 1?!?! I have all the others, but this one is giving me twitches!

Wow! :eek: 4600 RPM, 65.0 dBA Is that thing loud, or what. hehe

I would go for the 120, but I'm worried about clearance issues.

Thanks for the replies guys. Any recommendations on a fan?

Hi guys, What would you guys recommend as the best cooler for an FX-55 (other than stock)? I was looking at getting a Thermalright XP-90 Copper.. If I go with that one, what fan should I go with? Or would it really matter? Thanks. :D

First time PSU modder here.. :) Looking to clean up my case a bit, and wanted to cut my PSU wires to length and sleeve them. Is there a tutorial for this somewhere? I have the molex extractors, wire cutters, sleeving, and heatshrink. Will I need any other tools? I see on my wires...

I recently changed my system over to a new case (Coolermaster Praetorian), and when I turn it on the monitor, mouse, and keyboard do not start up. After I hit the reset button a few times they will though. I have an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe Rev. 2 with the 1008 BIOS revision. Any ideas as to...

Not here in Nashville,TN 37214

Thanks ObSean! :D That got the USB up and running. I appreciate it. Still waiting to get another reply on the Firewire. Anyone else got an idea on it, or can confirm ObSeans? Thanks again.

Howdy, I have a SilverStone Temjin SST-TJ03 Nimitz case, and I'm wanting to connect the front USB and Firewire plugs to my ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe. It's pretty confusing to me because the case wires are all seperate, and the names don't match the diagram in the mobo manual. I'm hoping that...

Thanks for the other options.

I'm just getting in the last of my parts to build my new system. It's going to be an SLI rig, and the last thing I need to order is my monitor. I've always had a CRT monitor with my previous systems, but they are getting scarce. The stores here locally have maybe 2 - 3 to choose from...
