    Headphone Amp for 595s

    595's are efficient and don't need amping imo. Save your money, seriously.

    Headphone Amp for 595s

    For 595's, I wouldn't bother with an amp if you're staying in the low end. I think for under $100, get a XP amp. It is very good for the money.

    Vista 64 + Logitech SetPoint

    I downloaded the newest drivers, never installed off the cd. I know the G5 has problems with some buttons, but I have it working for the most part with uberoptions in games. It's just the keyboard that's not working.

    Vista 64 + Logitech SetPoint

    So I recently built a new computer and installed Vista 64. I installed SetPoint for my MX3100 combo (LX700 keyboard + MX1000 mouse) and G5 mouse. None of the extra keys on the LX700 keyboard work. I have SetPoint running in admin mode, but that didn't do anything for me. What I've tried...

    AC 7 Pro

    Those temps were using SpeedFan. I'm using Real Temp now. I did the 7v mod to 7 120mm fans in my case earlier today, so the conditions aren't the same as above. Real Temp 2.0 Core 1: 33C Core 2: 33C Core 3: 39C Core 4: 34C I ran the Intel Burn Test 10 times, which took about 30...

    Gigabyte EP45-DS3R

    That noise stopped for almost all of last night, but then it was doing it again in the morning, but has stopped since 4pm (at 4, I openned my case and did the 7v mod to all the casefans). I don't know what's going on, but since it's not making those sounds, I'm going to leave it as is.

    New Rig, Unsure of CPU

    Doesn't seem too bad. Just ran the Intel Burn Test 10 times which took about 30 minutes to finish and my max temp was 57C on Core 2 while 55C on Core 0, 1, and 3. The only thing that worries me is my idle temp. Cores 0,1, and 3 idle at 33 while Core 2 idles at 39. I think one corner of the...

    I just did the 7v mod to all of the case fans and it's alot quieter, core temps at idle are up 2C. I'll see how this goes.

    Gigabyte EP45-DS3R

    I read the manual. It just speeds up randomly, even when my comp is idling. That's what's so frustrating about it.

    AC 7 Pro

    Hey guys, I have an AC7Pro on a Q9550 + DS3R combo stock (no OC). I'm checking my core temps in Speedfan and at idle, they're at: Core 0: 35C Core 1: 35C Core 2: 41C Core 3: 36C I'm curious as to why Core 2 is so much higher than the rest. Could it be because of the thermal paste not...

    New Rig, Unsure of CPU

    Cross post from the Motherboard section. So today I came home to my computer making these funny sounds. Every few minutes or so, the cpu fan gets real loud for 10 seconds or so, then goes back to normal. My friend who owns a DS3L + E8400 + AC 7 Pro said I had to set my CPU fan to PWM. But...

    How long have you made a rig last? and a couple other things. . .

    I do about every 2-3 years. Started with a 1 ghz T-bird in 2001, then a 2.8 P4 in 03, 3.2 P4 with HT in 05, 3800x2 in 06, Q9550 in 08. The 06 one was because my brother in law was in need of a computer, so I gave him the P4 and updated to dualcore.

    New Rig, Unsure of CPU

    So I threw in my friends Corsair DDR2 800 and booted, got into BIOS, changed DRAM voltage to 2.0 and then swapped his RAM out for mine. The first 2 sticks I put in didn't work, changed it for another 2 I have on hand and it works now. Installing drivers and everything for now with just 2 Gb...

    I read on another thread to trouble shoot by just turning the comp on with mobo + cpu (nothing else attached). Will I be able to get into BIOS?

    New Rig, Unsure of CPU

    Wow, thanks for all the information. I'm using cheap cheap cheap generic RAM that came with a Dell. It probably can't handle the OC, therefore resulting in the looping reboots. I'll borrow some Corsair DDR2 800 RAM from a friend who recently built a computer to see if I can get into BIOS...

    New Rig, Unsure of CPU

    For the VelociRaptor drive, do I have to have SATA drivers on hand? My friend with a DS3L said he didn't need anything when he installed Vista 64 on his new rig, but I remember needing SATA drivers for my current computer when I installed XP Pro.

    New Rig, Unsure of CPU

    So last night, I put everything together and it's a no go for now. Comp won't boot up at all with anywhere from 1-4 sticks of OCZ Gold (which the specs are 2.0V), so I took them out in exchange for some generic RAM I'm using now which I know will work. This got the comp to boot to the...

    Endless reboot with x48-ds4?

    I have OCZ Gold which runs at 2.0V. Comp won't even post. I stuck in some generic DDR2 533 that I currently use and finally got the Gigabyte load screen, but nothing works after that. TAB doesn't get me to anything, DEL doesn't get me to BIOS. It was extremely frustrating last night. But...

    Yay 6 monthly upgrade time.

    He's basically working more. Take off 3 weeks paid Work 3 weeks paid + computer parts I don't see how he's scamming the school at all. I don't see how he's screwing tax payers. He's putting more time in, so he should be paid more.

    Yay 6 monthly upgrade time.

    MG Cross Bone Gundam. I used to love PG Gundams, but there's just not enough of them. Now I stick with MG Gundams so that my collection is all the same size, and there's so many more MGs than PGs. Unicorn Gundam FTW.

    If you're going to get the Asus GTX 260, might as well get this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130387 Same price and you get the eVGA SSC version.
