I have been really busy and while looking at the hot deals forum I saw my laptop mentioned and it reminded me of this thread. I have the exact Y460p to follow in the link pre sandy bridge fix. I got it in January and have yet to send it back for a replacement. It is extremely fast and runs DCUO...
I am out of town right now and kind of busy but when I get home I will track down that info. Leave it to me to be the first person to get something and it ends up with a massive design flaw and a recall lol.
I picked up an awesome Lenovo sb laptop with a great deal back in Jan. I love the laptop and right now I think I am going to hold onto it for a while. The chances of it being affected are low and I need it right now while traveling for work. If things slow down in a few months for me and they...
I agree with the two previous posters mentioning the Func 1030 or Archetype, I have had mine for years and I swear by it. I am about to get my second one for traveling soon.
I hope I don't jinx myself but I have never had any pc component fail on me. My parents have had two hard drives fail on them in the past 15 years or so.
I just got this in from Newegg last night. I got it for about $330 after tax. So far I am amazed by the size since I am coming from a 5 year old Samsung 710t 17inch lcd. I have not done anything but browse the internet yet but I have not noticed any dead pixels or buzzing sounds. I will be doing...
As far as transplanting your HD over to your new motherboard yes it is possible and I did it one week ago today in fact and I have been running my P5Q-Pro with no problems whatsoever. What you need to do is go into your device manager on your current rig and select the default IDE controllers...
Well I have everything running very nicely and stable with only one problem. My room is hot as hell now haha the temperature here lately has been very warm for the winter and this rig is really pumping out some heat in my small room. I think I may turn the speedstep back on now that I have it...
Well you may have already tried this, but have you tried booting the Vista install disk on a working computer to see if it progresses into the installation menu without the BSOD? It could be the files on the disk are corrupt? I am just throwing something out there to try to help I know it must...
I just finished installing the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro and I am running my e8400 at 4ghz 445x9, vcore 1.36 in CPU-Z with 1.3875 selected in the latest P5Q-Pro bios. To quickly see how much better this would dissipate heat over the stock Intel HSF I had Core Damage running for 10 minutes and...
Well after some tweaking over the past few days I am running 7 hours prime stable at 4004.9 ghz with my e8400 on a p5q pro. The ridiculous part of this is that I am doing it with the stock HSF from my old e4300 that is a year and a half old. I idle at 31 and stress at 65 with it maxing to 75...
Well I just finished upgrading to an e8400 and a P5Q Pro. Right now I am running at stable at 3.6ghz at around 28C idle from Real Temp. I ran Orthos overnight and the highest temp was 60. The stock HSF gave me troubles while trying to mount so I used the stock HSF that came with my e4300 lol and...
Yeah I am loving my new 4850. But to get back on topic I built a box using a P4C-800 E I believe back when overclocking the 2.4c p4's was the rage and pushed that thing to the limit with no problems. Now I am running an Asrock (Asus budget line) 4CoreDual-VSTA with an e4300 at 2.4ghz for a year...
Well I finally got my Sapphire 4850 today. It turns out it was actually left by FedEx at my door this morning. I was expecting it today so I went to check the tracking after not getting it this afternoon and it showed as delivered so I checked and sure enough it was there. I am running a E4300...
Water1 I placed an order for a 4850 two days ago. I should be receiving it in the next few days and I will report on if it works with the 4coredual mobo.
I just got back from Best Buy about 30 mins ago and bought the AK Octane. I went to two different best buys to find it and also the True Seating gaming chair but the first best buy had nothing but two generic overpriced chair and the second only had the AK Octane. The Octane is pretty comfy...
Thats funny that your logitech webcam mike works very well. Everyone remmember the cheap logitech "Internet Chat Headset" that came with a pre ordered version of UT2004? That mike to this day is one of the clearest sounding ones out there. Pretty crazy for a 10 dollar headset.
Thank you all very much for the replies. I think I am going to give it a shot. If all goes well I will be able to get descent performance out of it and be able to hold off on a new build for a while.
I am thinking of upgrading to the Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA from an Asus P4C800-E to throw an E6420 in there to replace my overclocked P4 2.4C at 3.2. I recently bought a Sapphire x1950 pro agp which is very cpu limited on the p4 and think the E6420 would give it plenty of cpu power to work with...
