I might be interested in Newegg's red hot Shell Shocker today ($70 possibly -11%) on this RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233778& I currently have 8 GB of generic RAM running at 1333 CL 9 and I'm interested in upgrading to 16 GB. My MOBO is: ASUS P8Z68-VLX...

My computer worked fine two days ago, but now it no longer POSTs. When I go to start it the power comes on and the fans run, but I do not receive a signal to the monitor. Also, the mouse lights up (but not the optical sensor part) and the keyboard caps/num/scroll lock lights turn on (and I...

I just obtained an Antec 300 case and I'd like to add a side intake fan and filter. However, the grill (integrated with the side panel) sticks out. I want to add this magnetic filter on the outside, would I have a problem? Would I need to take a rubber mallet and pound the grate flat...

I want to format and partition a brand new 128 GB SSD drive. It's an OCZ Vertex 4: http://www.amazon.com/OCZ-Technology-2-5-Inch-Industrys-Warranty/dp/B007R1FH3K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354485206&sr=8-1&keywords=ocz+vertex+4 I have it in an external HD case connected by USB 2.0. It shows...

I might be interested in getting a blue light to aim down at my keyboard -- something like a Razer Battlelight (which as far as I know you can only use with the Razer Tarantula keyboard): http://www.xoxide.com/razer-battle-light.html Does anyone else make something similar? I'm thinking...

I have a Sidewinder X6 keyboard, and I think the cable has gone bad. When using the keyboard, it would cut off on me now and then and go unresponsive. I think the light would go off too. Has anyone ever replaced the cable on one of these? I think it's an OK keyboard. I like the...

I have a mouse that might be on its last legs--probably as the result of a short in the cable. I've grown to love the feel of this mouse (Ideazon Reaper Edge/HP Voodoo DNA), but the cord may have a short in it somewhere. My cat loves the mouse, too, so much so that she likes to lay her ass...

I'm contemplating purchasing a Cyber Snipa Warboard keyboard to replace a crappy illuminated Logisys keyboard. Has anyone here ever owned one and would you purchase it again (if it were under $25)?

I currently have 4 x 512 sticks of Corsair ValueRAM in my rig and want to replace two of the sticks with 1 GB sticks of cheap PNY RAM that I recently obtained as part of a Craigslist purchase (to go up to 3 GB of RAM). However, the specs for the PNY RAM are different: 4x512 Corsair Value RAM...

The 4.5 year old case fans (5 of them) in my current case are becoming increasingly loud and now my computer is starting to sound like a truck. I probably have a higher tolerance for fan noise than most people, but the occasional buzzing and rattling sounds are getting out of control. So, it's...

Right now my rig has 4 x 512mb sticks of Corsair Value RAM. I'm interested in swapping out two of those sticks for two 1 GB PNY RAM, upgrading from 2 to 3 GB RAM. What happens if I add the PNY RAM and use my current settings? I don't know what the specs are on the PNY RAM since it came off a...

I think my PSU may have died. While gaming the image on my monitor froze up and after about 5 seconds I concluded that the rig had crashed, so I shut it down manually. The PC still had power since the HDD light was on. I came back about 15 minutes later and it would not even attempt to post as...

I think my PSU has died (unless it's the mobo or a fried CPU) in which case I'm going to need a new one. My biggest concern is long-term reliability and having enough power for gaming. I need to power the following: Athlon 4400 (10% overclock) 2 optical drives (rarely used) 2 ATA hard...

I'm working on overclocking a Socket 939 Athlon X2 4400 (2.2 Ghz stock, 1 MB cache each core) and when I run the Stress Prime Orthos test to stress the CPU itself it's fine, but when I do it to stress the RAM I get an error. Now, I previously had a single core Opteron 148 in this computer and...

Well, it looks like this Socket 939 Athlon X2 4400 that I picked up off of eBay is a horrific overclocker. I want to run it at at least 2.53 Ghz and preferably at 2.64 Ghz. At 11 x 230 (2.53 Ghz) and 1.575 V it shows errors in Stress Prime Orthos but seemed to do fine in Unreal Tournament 3...

I just finished upgrading my computer from a single-core Socket 939 Opteron 148 to a dual core Athlon X2 4400. Funny thing is, using my motherboard's CPU monitor, it's now showing unusually low voltages and I'm using a voltage similar to what I used for the Opteron. When I had the Opteron the...

I know that you guys have hashed over this topic a number of times, but I wanted to bring it up again in order to obtain more recent viewpoints, which might be informed by more experience with the cards and more recent developments. My question. If you had to choose between a 6800 GT and an...
