    I'm needing to downsize

    I currently have an FT02 (and a V1000B, a V1200B, and a V1100B) that I purchased a year or so ago in order to have what I thought would be the best combination of looks, quiet, and cooling...which I think it does. Is there another smaller case out there that would offer the same? I need/prefer...

    Black screen

    So the wife was on her computer this evening when all of a sudden the screen went black. I simply thought it was due to inactivity until I heard her moving the mouse around & still nothing. I unplugged the monitor from the power strip & plugged it directly into an outlet. I powered on the...

    Pondering the 650D, but........

    There's a decent deal that ends today for the Corsair 650D. I like the case, but honestly it' might be too big for me. Currently I'm switching back & forth between a V1000B & a V1100B. I'm pretty sure the Corsair will win in the airflow department as well as the cable management department...

    Need to replace broken onboard video

    A friend literally yanked the VGA plug off the motherboard. The particular motherboard's specs can be found here. It states it's PCIe x16, but I don't know if it's v1, 2, or what. What card can I get (preferably one that doesn't need power from the PSU as I haven't looked to see if has that)...

    One Velociraptor or Raid 0?

    Since I presently can't afford a SSD drive, I'm torn between one 300GB Velociraptor (16MB cache) or two 320GB WD RE's (16MB cache) in Raid 0. Thoughts? Thanks.

    Pondering retiring my V1000BW

    I think I need something with a little more/better airflow (as i'm not interested in water cooling), but I DEFINITELY don't want a HAF, Lancool, Fractal series or anything Antec. I guess i'm spoiled to aluminum. Since owning this case, i've tried the Sonata II, P180B, CM 690, Lancool PC-K62...

    Inconsistent core temps...normal?

    I just got done running 5 passes of IBT with my new NH-D14 mounted. According to HW Monitor Pro, the hottest core (2) was 60c & the coolest (0) was 51c. Cores 1 & 3 were 58c & 55c respectively. Is it normal to have a 9c spread between the coolest & warmest? Thanks.

    Samsung VS. Corsair memory

    Currently in my laptop (Latitude E6510) I have 1x4GB stick of Samsung ram model #m471b5273ch0-ch9. I can get a really good deal (basically 2 sticks for the price of one) right now from a seller for 2x4GB kit of Corsair ram. Quality-wise are they about the same? Thanks.

    Droid X on Alltel?

    I've tried (unsuccessfully) to get a Blackberry Bold to work on Alltel. Never could get the internet working. Alltel's tech support said i'd probably have to flash the rom with an Alltel rom. I'm not going to risk bricking the phone, so it's gotta go. My question now is a Droid X on Alltel...

    i5-2500K stable?

    I ran 12+ hours of OCCT followed by 100 passes of IBT using maximum stress. No errors on either. I realize it's probably not 100% stable as nothing probably is that isn't running at manufacturers specs, but is it pretty close?

    I think I need a new case, but I hate to retire my old one

    I've got a slightly modified LL V1000BW...120mm blowhole on top, a little Akasa padding inside. I recently upgraded to a 2500K & am not real happy with my temps. I'm using an H50 & Gentle Typhoons throughout. My idle temps in a 30c room is 36, 37, 41, 37. I did a 10 minute test Real Temp &...

    Thuban or Sandy Bridge?

    Early this morning I ordered an i5 2500k that was on sale @ Newegg. Late this evening I found out that I won a 1090T in a contest I was entered in. The 1090T will work in my present motherboard & I have a P67 motherboard awaiting the arrival of my 2500k. Now I have the tough decision of which...

    Upgrading to Sandy Bridge...will my PSU handle it?

    The motherboard is the MSI P67A-GD80 along with a 2500K. Of course it'll be overclocked. :) The rest of the components are in my sig. Will my 620HX be sufficient?

    790FX vs. 890FX chipset

    I'm currently using a Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard w/a PII X4 965BE cpu. Other than the USB 3.0 & SATA 3, would I notice any real difference if I went with a MA890FXA-UD5? Someone's making me an offer I can't refuse on a 1090T, so that'd be going in it instead of the 965. Thanks.

    Memory or motherboard?

    Pondering a new case...which way to go?

    Lian Li V1020 or Silverstone FT02?

    I've found a deal on both these cases...if you wanna call $200 shipped a deal. I'm going to be using a H50, so i'm having to take that into consideration. I'm currently using a V1000BW that's slightly modified with a blowhole, but I think I need more airflow for my newer rig (& hotter video...

    PII X4 965BE temp/voltage question

    I'm in the process of overclocking my 965BE, but being new to AMD, I'm not sure of what voltages/temps are safe. As it stands right now (with P95 running small fft's), my core voltage is 1.44 & temps on all 4 cores is 52c. Currently running @ 3.825Ghz. Is that acceptable? Is the small fft's...

    Heatspreaders

    Do they really serve a useful purpose? I'm looking at a set of ram (DDR3 1600...2x4GB) that doesn't come with a heatspreader. They'd be installed in a LL V1000BW case. Should I be concerned about the lack of heatspreaders? Thanks.
