I have a question that I am trying to understand and I'm hoping somebody here can help me out. I have two servers, one is on site the other is in a remote location connected via a private bonded T1. The server on-site and remote are on their own domain and communicate to each other via the T1...

Sweet setup, but if they're using rFactor why didn't they just download one of the car mods instead of trying to model their own. No gears should be enough to tell you they did a pretty bad job modeling a F1 car, but I guess for a demo its good enough.

These drivers a definite must have, especially if your running a Fermi card. Saw a substantial increase in BFBC2 performance. With the 197.55 I was running 1920x1200 32xCSAA, 16x AF, High, HBAO On with 2x TSAA, with the 257.15 drivers I was able to push my TSAA to 4x. Also saw almost an 80 point...

EVGA X58 Forums has some pretty good guides in their sticky section. They apply to their boards, but it can be easily translated to other boards. I found the voltage sticky pretty helpful in helping me push my i7 930 to 4.2GHz. Most D0 cores can hit 4GHz pretty easily.

Actually, I believe nVidia added "enhanced SLI support for WoW" in one of their 197 driver iterations. That being said, MSI Afterburner shows both my GPUs being loaded while playing WoW, though only at about 30% to 40%.

Running in full screen mode at 19x12, but I have every setting set to max. WoW runs smooth for the most part, but I do get the occasional dip in frame rate, nothing major though. I do find it odd that my GTX480s don't even ramp up to full 3D speed when running WoW or even utilize the full power...

I'm sure it does, as I hear the fans on my GPUs start to ramp up slightly when I'm in a raid, but no where near the fan speed/noise I hear when I'm playing other games like BFBC2. Probably never noticed it before as this is the first build in a while where I haven't WCed my GPUs, but my ears...

If it means anything, I noticed that according to MSI Afterburner WoW doesnt barely breaks 25% GPU usage on my setup for both cards even though I sometimes get slowdowns. I find it funny too that my cards don't even see it fit to scale up to full core/mem speed when running WoW.

Driver uninstall didn't work for me. There seems to be a conflict between the Realtek NIC drivers on Windows Update and nVidia's drivers. Not sure about the other drivers, but for the 197.55 drivers SLI didn't work until I reverted the NIC drivers back to the original drivers that installed with...

It's going to be the same recycled mechanics again. I took a break a little after ToGC came out, came back to see what ICC was about. It was fun the first time through, but after that it became a borefest. I really can't see me doing the hardcore farming like I did during my BT days. I'll...

From what I've seen these i7s run pretty hot, a lot hotter than the C2D in my previous system. The magic number for these chips are 85C under full load. If you can keep it under 85C you should be fine for 24/7 use.

The NIC drivers from EVGA's website works fine. I had similar issues when I used the drivers found on Windows Update.

Here's mine for the database. Notice most everybody got a "A" batch 930, mine has a "B" in its Batch #. User Name: Enigma422 CPU: i7 930 FPO/Batch #: 3938B269 Store: ZipZoomFly Purchased In: April 2010 OC: 4200 MHz (200 MHz x 21) Stability: LinX 50 Stable Temp (Idle / Load): 34C (Coolest...

My PCP&P Silencer 750 Quad has been my workhorse for the past 3 years, but moving to a 480GTX system you're definitely going to want more. Better safe than sorry, especially considering how much you'll be throwing down for a pair of 480s.

I have a side question for anybody running an eVGA Classy board, SLI, and the HX1000W. Do you guys bother with the 2nd ATX12V connector and if you do how do you set up your rails? Thanks again.

Thought these bad boys were going to be the parts that was going to hold up my new build, but turns out I'm waiting on my motherboard and CPU before I get to test these guys out.

Thanks for the reply guys, just wanted to make sure I didn't blow anything up when I power my new rig for the first time.

Just got my Corsair HX1000W for my new build. This is my first time dealing with a modular/multi-rail PSU (My PCP&P Silencer 750 Quad has been a workhorse for me the past couple of years) and I have a question about connecting the modular connections for an SLI system. I know not to mix the...

It is a good movie, and I wouldn't have known about it if I never seen the "Hitler gets banned from WoW" clip.

1:1130....better odds than the lottery.

Whatever card will be DX10 or whatever they will call it for Vista complient. Or if those cards are over your budget a GTX/GT or X1800XT/XL should be pretty cheap by then when they release the nexgen cards mentioned above.

Hey Marcdaddy, are you planning on putting an aftermarket cooler on those things? I'm curious on how many ram chips this thing has. (I'm assuming 16) May pick up a pair depending on how much of an improvement is seen over the 256MB cards, but I plan on WCing them.

The old TechTV is by far better than the "new" TechTV. IMO they really did a stand up job f****** that channel up. Once the original Screensavers went it was pretty much through for me. The only show worth watching on that channel now is X-Play. IMO this channel really became catered to the non...

I decided to give WindowsXP x64 a try today and went to install, but was not able to sucessfully install it. My system specs are in my sig. I can install regular XP at my OCed speed with no problems so I went to do the same thing with X64. My first problem came when Windows started copying files...

Real short, but really, really nice graphics. Too bad I can't turn on 16x AF as even with my SLI system it slows down a bit in some places. 8x is fine though @ 1920x1200 with everything else turned up and 4x AA. I think LC also makes use of dual core as my performance tab showed both cores being...

Definately, if I were in the market for a case right now I would buy one from you. Excellent job, especially loved the coax cables you made.

I just installed them and seems stable, at least in 3DMark03/05. Haven't gotten a chance to play much with them yet since I got to get to campus and get some work done.

You can actually get RAMsinks on those mem modules with the OCZ RAMsinks. You need to find something to wedge between the fins on the ramsinks and bend them down enough so there is enough clearance for your tubing to pass on top of them. Then you have to set your clamps (if you use clamps, which...

If you have a decent PSU and an PCIe power adapter you should be able to use that as a temporary solution. I had a recent incident with my PSU and had my Fortron A500 powering my system until I was able to resolve the situation. Just don't try to do this with an cheap PSU.

My PCP&C PSU isn't loud at all, in fact it is probably the quietest fan in my system. I have 6 120mm, a 92mm, and 2 80mm fans in my system, and even when I have most of the fans shutoff via my fan controller, I stil can't hear my PSU fan over the fans that I leave on. At minimum I leave the 92mm...

Good to see you like your new AMD system, but I can't believe that you weren't able to play at higher settings on your P4. Was it OCed. I had a 2.53 P4 @ 3.125GHz a 6800GT and 1GB RAM and was able to play D3 at 1600x1200 high settings, but no AA.

They have 939 Opterons at eWiz as well, but you just have to make sure that it says 939 on the description.

What are you going to be cooling? Are you going to be cooling just your CPU or other stuff as well? A very basic setup would be a Swiftech Storm, BIX or single fan HC, a Swiftech MCP655, and some ClearFlex60 or Tygon 1/2" tubing. This should give enough performance to cool your CPU.

6800GTs run very hot. Mine got all the way up to 90C under full load with stock cooling, but then the maximum temp that these chips could take, according to the nVidia control panel, is 127C.

System looks good, but if you have a little experience with OCing then I would go with the DFI board. It has so many features you can tweak to get the most out of your system. Of course there is more work, but the overall control you have over your systems settings are worth it. If you want...

Why only 1024x768? Today's graphics cards can easily play games at that resolution. What kind of budget do you have? For gaming the graphics card should be the focus of the system. Get the most you can afford, but be sure to balance the power of your graphics card with our CPU (i.e. don't get a...

Well, F.E.A.R. and Quake4 are at least two of the games I get if I don't get any other games this fall/winter.

Things seem to be fine with my PCP&C PSU. Was able to run a round of Sandra tests and 3DM03 and 05 no problems. Still stressed over the lost graphics cards though....my 3DM scores just aren't the same :(.

I have done that and I measured every single plug and all voltages look good. I know it's the video card because my 6800GTs work fine and I was able to install WindowsXP at my last stable OC speed (2.7GHz @ 1.568V).
