trying to build a new comp for a friend. I built mine years ago and kind of need to touch up on this stuff.
so does the DDR3 2000(O.C.) specification on a mobo mean i have to fiddle with the motherboard settings to enable DDR3 2000 ram to run at that speed? the O.C. part kind of throws me...
i'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, however, does anyone know of a way to disable the small "clicks" that windows (i assume) makes when receiving input from the keyboard? although i can only hear them at very high volumes, i would still like to know how to get rid of them
thank you

Hey all,
When it comes to monitors I have some kind of general anxiety disorder because I feel compelled to clean every smudge or speck... Anyway, I need to buy a good cleaning solution and I've heard good things about klear screen, but it is...
E6600
$230
E6750
$185
Could someone explain this price point anomaly? I'm fairly sure the E6750 is superior to the E6600 from a specifications standpoint, so why is the E6750 priced significantly lower than the E6600? Is consumer demand for the E6600 solely responsible for this?
I'm...
Hi all,
I was just wondering how to change my windows user name? The one that displays under "users" when you control/alt/delete. It is currently "Owner", which is probably the default.
I have tried changing it in user accounts but that doesn't seem to affect it. Does anyone know how...
Does turning on ATI Catalyst Control Center actually affect performance in game? Because if doesn't then it's just a hindrance to me... those three instances of CLI.exe are really eating my ram (not that they're system hogs or anything but I get pretty punctilious about running unnecessary...
Phantom key blocking basically means that the keyboard cannot handle 3 or more depressed keys at once. Here's from Wikipedia:
"Keyboards are less than ideal when many keys are to be pressed at once, as the simple keyboard circuitry means that only a certain number of keys will register at one...
I was looking at my CPU-Z specifications and while my E6600 is supposed to be running at 2.4 ghz, under the "clocks" section the core speed reads
Core Speed 1601.8 MHz
Multiplier x6.0
FSB 267MHz
Bus Speed 1067.9 MHz
Is there something I'm just not getting here? Is my...
My newly built computer has been randomly rebooting every twice a week or so and after a few hours of memtest86 with no errors I believe it may be the BIOS.
I lack a floppy disk drive so I must resort to using Winflash even though I have heard it is a bit unsafer. The instructions on the DFI...
I need some kind folks to recommend me music to get "pumped up" to while playing a video game. I often dislike most in game music and often like to play my own, but I need some new material. I'm sure at least some of you have some suggestions? The genre is irrelevant.
Thanks guys.
Dear [H],
This is my first build. Ever since I have gotten the computer up and running it would not last a couple of hours without rebooting itself. It happens under normal environments, not when I'm gaming, running hardware intensive programs, or anything like that. All drivers, as well as...
I'm getting a Asus P5B, which has two ethernet jacks. I have not encountered this before. Wouldn't you only need one? Why is this? Which one should I use?
Silly question, but thanks a bunch guys...
Okay I've done everything except my processor... because it hasn't arrived yet...
1. The technical specifications for my motherboard on MSI state: Supports 4 unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDR2 SDRAM
While the ram I bought is rated at 1.9 volts. Is my RAM surely not to work?
2. My graphics...
I just recently bought a Freezer 7 Pro. I was surprised to find out that it came with pre applied thermal grease. Wanting to utilize my newly bought Arctic Silver instead, I scraped it off and cleaned what was left of it with a paper cloth. Unsurprisingly, it left a grey mark on the copper...
Hey guys.
This is my first build so I'm afraid if I have made any noob decisions.
Decided to go for the E6600.
I'm on a slightly tight budget so that explains the low end motherboard. Should I go for a higher end? I'm not planning to utilize SLI though...
This will be mostly used for...
Hey all.
I was wondering if it was possible to easily remove the stock clear side window that comes with the Lian-Li PC-65B, and replace it with another window like this.
Is it possible to simply swap them without cutting, etc?
Thanks again guys.

So essentially it's 20 dollars more for a black video card?
Thanks guys...
