    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

    E6600 $230.99 vs. E6750 $184.99

    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...

    Changing the Windows User Name

    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 ATI Catalyst Control Center affect performance?

    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 hack?

    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...

    How do I flash a BIOS?

    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...

    Background Music

    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.

    Random Restarts

    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...

    Freezer 7 Pro Pre Applied Grease

    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...

    First build. Need help!

    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...
