Read the reviews of these, awesome psu's.

Looks awesome, and being the fastest video card on the market doesn't hurt either.

Never built a water cooled rig before, but i would like to try.

very sexy case, want one.

these look sweet, yes please.

Just bought the same set for my new build, but why have 8gb when you can have 16?:D

These things look pretty slick.

What a bunch of BS. This guy ADMITS that they are only going after small blogs so they don't have to go to court, then portrays these bloggers actions as criminal. The whole point of news/political blogging is critique and commentary, easily covered by fair use. Hope one of these bloggers...

So the article is about the NYT questioning whether or not the US government should regulate google. Does every single article that mentions the US government have to offer at least 3 pages of "taxes R bad" tripe in the comments section?

Just another example of print media simply not understanding a new age of media distribution, grasping at straws to generate any sort of profit. Is there a correlation between the quality of comments and whether or not those users paid to make those comments? Somehow I doubt it. Did this...

I find it hard to believe that any so called "expert" would rely on the "slippery-slope" logical fallacy to back up their claim. However, the article never really states what these people are "experts" in, but my guess would be bs.

My dog urinated on one of my surge protectors one night, almost burned the house down. I can see the market in this i guess.

Starting to get an idea of what to buy, just a few more questions. How does a crossfire 5770 setup compare to the 5850, and would a 6gig ram setup be noticably faster in games than a 4gig build?

thanks for the tip! Any guesses as to how many of the cores I could potentially unlock based on other users experience?

Building a system for a friend, and decided to go AMD because I don't want to spend a whole lot of time on the OC. Problem is I'm more of an Intel guy and have no idea whats out there right now. He's looking to spend $700-$800, and will be using it for school and gaming. His monitor is a 22in...

I"m in

Yes Azhar, he really does believe all the drivel he just posted. Thats what happens when you take arbitrary and nebulous terms like "free-market capitalism" and "socialism" from ideas to full blown ideologies. You start to sound crazy.

Yeah, I just read the pamphlet that came with it that SHOWS the air flow direction, I feel pretty stupid right now. I also went to home depot to see if i could make my own spring compression screws, but I didn't have any money on me so that will have to wait. Thanks for your help.:)

Airflow in my case is good, got a LianLi2000B a couple years back. I have an artic cooler freezing 7 pro attached. I also picked up a small 30mm fan and attached it to the northbridge. The artic cooler fan is pointing to the back of the case, which is right up against my cases out-take fans.

Recently built a new computer, and got it stable at 3.0Ghz, but the vcore I have to set seems really high from what I have heard about these q6600 chips. HWMonitor shows a stable vcore of 1.34v (set it in bios as 1.3875 but i heard this was common). Idle temps are as follows: core 0: 44c...

I recently installed a q6600 and have it overclocked stable at 1.375v, and was wondering if I could get my core temps lower if I reapplied the AC5. Thought I did all my research on this one, but I used a buisness card to spread the AC5 over the CPU instead of using a straight line method. My...

Thanks for the tip! Trying a 24h cmos clear now, man that board must hold juice for a long time. This is about the only option left to me, as I've already tried a cmos clear using the jumpers.

Well, it took a bit of work but I replaced my new northbridge with my old one so I could check the and see if it was the second PCIe slot. Did the same thing as before.

Unfortuantely, the cooler I got covers the whole area of the first PCIe slot. I could get another heatsink and fan to remedy the problem, but that would cost money (which I really don't have). So I was wondering if anyone else with this mobo in the past has had (or heard) of problems with the...

My fan on my motherboard recently stopped working, so I went to the store and got a new heatsink and fan. The insilation went fine, but I had to move my vid Card to the second PCIE slot because the northbridge on the mobo is right next to the other slot. Turned on my computer, all the fans are...

I'm planning to upgrade my 939 amd computer soon and was hoping for some advice. I'll be replacing my ati x800 with an nvidia 8800gt, but I also want to upgrade to another gig of ram. The problem is that OCZ no longer makes the same type of memory I have in my machine currently. Can anybody...

Thanks for the info guys. Looking at the prices now I'm going to also upgrade my ram but I'm not sure about the processor. I'm not a hardcore pc gamer (I mainly play Wow, HL2, dota) and none of those games are dual core. Is the lowered L2 cache on the dual core chip you suggested going to...

Anyone have any suggestions for a new nvidia vid card purchase? I'm looking to spend $200-300 of christmas money so I can upgrade from my Ati x800, and with all the options on the market right now I'm a bit lost. Amd 939 venice 2ghz Ati x800 Dfi Lanparty nforce4, PciEx 1g ddr 400 21in...

I'm looking for the best laptop around $1,000. Could someone give me some good recommendations, I know enough about desktops but my laptop knowledge is weak.

Any way to transfer data from ipod to pc? If so what is the best freeware program?

Just wanted to know. Thanks

Hey everyone, wondering if there were any CRT monitors with Dvi. All I see on the market are VGA, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough. If there are none, any coming out soon?

Hello, I'm trying to hook up my pc so that i can watch files on my 50in sony lcd projection. Just wondering what the best software to use is. I tried powerdvd but it gives me an error message and says I can't use tv out with this program, LAME! Anyway, any advice would be helpful.

Hey thanks, I never knew about adding sp2 to my install xp cd, I'd always just installed it after the fact. This is why I love the hocp forums.

Hello everyone, just put together a new computer, only one problem. I have a seagate 250g hard drive and windows only shows it as a 130g hard drive under properties. Bios shows that it is indeed a 250g hard drive. Is there something in bios that needs to be changed or did i just get screwed...

Okay, I know this has nothing to do with computers, but people on these forums are just more informed than the stupid as **** internet. I've recently been seeing dvd player upscan converters on the market, ranging from about $150 - $400. Two questions: A.) What are the real world gains on...

It did when i had it connected through the dvi cable, but with the dvi to component adapter it's really pretty good, hl2 looks amazing

Okay, so I have my computer hooked up to my sony hdtv through the ati dvi to component video adapter. The highest resolution I can get without the boarders going off of the screen is 1776 x 1000 30hz interlaced. Now I understand the 30hz interlace part, but why do the boarders go off of the...
