    ASUS P6X58D Premium Motherboard Review @ [H]

    I have virtually the same result as you have using the same voltages - except vdimm at 1.66v still. My temps are higher at 79c (realtemp) with linx - i7-930 @ 4.2Ghz [200x21). Even my ram was easy to overclock too (3x2gb mushkin 998679s rated at 7,8,7,20 1T @ 1600 running them at 6,7,6,18 1T @...

    ASUS P6X58D Premium Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Funny, I have been rock stable with no BSODs at 4.2 ghz for about a month now with my i7 930 and this mobo. I tested overnight with p95 and 20 rounds of linx with max memory used for stability testing way back when. I have even overclocked my Mushkin memory 998679s from 7,8,7,20 1T @ 1600 to...

    i7 920 enable or disable HyperThreading?

    It depends - i overclock my i7 930 from 2.8 ghz to 4.2 ghz. i have to turn off hyperT because my cooling system (H50) when testing with linx and p95 pushes the temps above 80c. With it off, Im down to the low 70c and even 69c on a cold day. Now that it is summer its up around 73ish. In real...

    GTX 485 On The Way?

    If this is true, then I might bite - in the link you can see pics of the exhaust of the 480 vs 485. http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/faith/gtx485-less-hot-and-noisy-in-the-sack/ From KitGuru: So what is the GeForce GTX 485? Simply put, it’s what Fermi should have been at...

    I had the same problem...at first I thought it was my gpu, however, it was related to my system memory and 1 stick that started to fail. RMAd the memory and system back to normal.

    Bioshock 2 Special Edition for PC @ Target $19.98

    First, I always install games outside of the programs folder and into its own folder - actually I do this on another SSD drive these days other than the SSD C drive (win 7 only and any other permanent program like iTunes go on the C SSD drive). Secondly, I install everything as administrator so...

    New Intel Unlocked Processors to Debut at Computex

    I would only see value if future intel chips had blck problems as reported either here at hardocp and early adopters before I purchased. With my i7 930, I am easily able to overclock it to 21x200=4.2ghz (vcore 1.325v) and also my mushkin 3x2gb 998679 ram from stock at 7,8,7,20 1T to 6,7,6,18...

    is NEWEGG the last safe place to order?

    Fastest service and delivery - newegg and buy.com for me (I live on the east coast) Fast service - frozen cpu ok service - zzf, directron Normally I order from newegg, zzf and frozencpu. However, I really like buy.com this last time around.

    EVGA 750i SLI FTW @ [H]

    This mobo seems rock solid to me after tinkering with it for 2 days. After 4 hours of sp2004 (prime95), Im rock solid my e8400 at 8x500= 4ghz which was my goal. I had to bump vcore up to 1.38125 which in cpuz is 1.36v idle, 1.344v load. My gSkill 2x2gb is running at 1:1 at its rated speed of...

    EVGA 750i & P182 Case

    I own the mobo and am just putting it together. There was some talk on EVGA forum about that the usb header is not what it says in the orginal manual and the online manual has the update to its location...I will be checking it tonight myself.

    EVGA 750i SLI FTW @ [H]

    Great review! Talk about stress testing...good thing cause I was going to wait for this review but I just bought this mobo a few days ago when it was at $190 cause its been fluctuating between $190-200. Glad to see I made the right purchase! Buy it when it goes back to $190...this is one of...

    PC Power & Cooling 750w Quad $129.99

    What happened? I cannot believe it...it was $159 for almost a month, then end of month Newegg dropped it to $149...I pulled the trigger since I was in the middle of a new build and it was a fantastic buy at $149 with no mir. Then for 1-2 days its $129 and now $220 after mir. What gives...

    PC Power & Cooling 750w Quad $129.99

    I just bought this last week when it was $149.99 with no MIR. Today it is at $129.99 with mail-in rebate...even better deal than what I got it at for a psu with a 60a single 12v rail from a name brand company - PC Power and Cooling. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703009

    Ccity,Ati hd3870 129.99 out the door.

    I saw it too yesterday and it was the visiontek with 512mb of gddr4 for $129...I couldnt believe it so I am sure its mis-marked and the price wont last long. If I didnt have an nvidia setup, I would have grabbed this the moment I saw it.

    ATI Radeon HD 3870 X2 @ [H]

    If not said before (30 pages in a day, is that a record?) - the real benefit of today's release is that the 3870x2 is seen by a rig as 1 card so you can run 2 gpus on any motherboard...hopefully game makers will write new games based on multi-cpu/gpu systems giving us all smooth and high quality...

    ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT @ [H]

    As I said earlier in the thread and elsewhere about the reviews from all over the web: 1. A consistent theme in the reviews is that the 2900 is a power hog 2. Inconsistency in the reviews is the performance benchmarks Something is just not right. The reviews dont have to be in perfect...

    ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT @ [H]

    ATI sure got a lot of press/reviews today...guess why its stock is up too. I have found in my business that both positive and negative press is good press cause all it does it add to sales... Here is a short list of the reviews on this long awaited vid card (from fornowagain at...

    ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT @ [H]

    I thought their was something wrong with the review numbers versus what other websites are showing....they should retest. Plus it looks like some websites are stating that Crossfire performs much better than SLI but its probably too early to tell too. I really want the 2900 to fly because that...

    ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT @ [H]

    Actually Im disappointed in the Hardocp review...it seems like its the most "negative" review out on the net. And I have only owned nvidia and dont know anything about ati cards. Did Hardocp do something wrong in comparison to the other reviews (like using the wrong drivers?)...this is...

    Gigabyte 650i Board?

    Great news cause thats the heatsink I already have! What CPU do you have and do you plan to overclock it? If you get up to 520-540fsb, this board could be the sleeper value of the lot, even the new p35 mobos.

    Ok you guys call it - P965 or 650i

    The question is if nVidia is going to come out with a reference 650i SLI design and then sells it to EVGA and others. I have not heard anywhere about nvidia making a 650i SLI reference design.

    EVGA 650i Ultra @ [H]

    If so, this would be the model and price range I would be looking for....as long as vdimm is not as low as 2.1v. I really would like to purchase an EVGA this time around cause they get such high service ratings...

    The Official HP w2207/w2007 Thread

    I think your stand is defective. I had 4 of them (they all had 7 or more stuck pixels so I gave up on getting this monitor) and the stand on any of the 4 was rock solid. The stand was another reason why I really like this monitor.

    EVGA 650i Ultra @ [H]

    Great review on the Ultra plus I think you guys pointed out the obvious problem with this mobo...I too dont like the vdimm max at only 2.1v since most higher level ddr2 memory requires at least 2.2v. EDIT: Corrected Below: 6 phase. Edit: Other Comments off topic and deleted...

    Ok you guys call it - P965 or 650i

    Oh and the 650i to buy is the SLI version so you the get SLI version and the better memory vdimm than the generic 650i. So 2 very important things better than the 965 - 1T command rate and SLI. Gigabytes DS4 is a 6 phase, full capacitor design and as far as I can tell it overclocks the...
