I just made the jump to Sandy Bridge from my E6750, and everything went smooth except for the formatting of my secondary HD. I've got a 120 GB Intel SSD for my windows installation and other programs, and a 320 GB maxtor for my games. After I got the computer up and running with windows 7, I...
Hey everyone. I picked up my Motorola Atrix on the 26th, and I've been messing around with it and enjoying it very much. My only problem with it so far is that I cannot download attachments via email on it; this applies to both Gmail and Yahoo. In my case, my friend sent me an .mp3 file. I was...

So I recently made a deal with a member here on [H]. I sold them a used Abit motherboard. I provided them with the tracking number on time, and told them to PM if there were any problems. I checked in with them when the USPS told me it was delivered to make sure they got the package, and I told...
Hey all. I've got a few things for sale, and I will be posting pictures later this weekend. I've got heat under "mrmetal_53." On to the merchandise :D

So having recently purchased a subscription to Microsoft Technet, I was thinking of all the things I could do with all the licenses I now have access to, and naturally, reformatting was one of them :D
So I decided that I want to reformat my just-over-a-year-old Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop. It...
So I am thinking of building an AM2 rig, using some spare parts I have (this is all due to me picking up a P182 SE......gave me a reason to build another PC). Anyways, right now, on my gaming computer, I am dual booting XP 32 and Vista Ultimate 64. Once I put together the AM2 rig, I was...
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I figured it might be better off in the general hardware forum than in the hard drive forum.
Anyways, I just received my free copy of Vista Ultimate from Microsoft for the WFP program. Instead of doing a fresh install, I was thinking of...
I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum.
Right now, I'm running Trend Mico PC-cillin on my Vista laptop. I think it is a pretty good anti-virus program, but my subscription runs out on the 14th. I got in on the deal (through Slickdeals) where I got a year of a-squared anti-malware...
....my 360 red-ringed. I always knew, in the back of my mind, it would happen. You just never know how it feels till it happens to you. I have all these feelings inside of me.
I just wanted to play some Gears of War online :(
I just picked up Crysis earlier tonight from CC. I was so excited to play the "sequel" to Far Cry. But after an hour or two of playing, something is really bothering me. I feel like the KPA soldiers just pop up right in front of me whenever I hit a trigger. For example, I scanned a forest with...
System specs:
e6750
evga 680i
evga 8800 gts (600/900)
2 gig ddr2 pc6400 firestix
silverstone 560zf ps
tuniq tower 120
So I left my computer on during the night, to run orthos to see if it was stable @ 3.4 ghz (425 x 8) and I wake up this morning to a frozen computer. Not really thinking...
I am kind of a loss here guys. It's late, and I could use some help. I just recieved my new e6750, EVGA 680i, and Tuniq Tower. I installed the heatsink as per the instructions, although I did have a little trouble getting the heatsink on. I finish installing everything, and turn the computer on...
I am just about to pull the trigger on a 6750 (when I can find a decent price on it), and I've already got a 680i (A1) from EVGA on the way. I want to get the best possible HS for my CPU. I was looking at the Tuniq Tower, and most of the reviews say that it is a great heatsink, just a little...
This is kinda of a weird question, but I figured I should ask it here. I bought the mentioned RAM about two months ago right after the Hot Deal when the memory was going for $120 (got it for $140 shipped from a member here on [H]). I bought it in preparation for a C2D build. My current set-up...
I apologize if this is in the wrong section. I just bought the Westinghouse 37w3 from Costco, and of course I want to make sure that I take the best care of it that I can. I've got normal surge protectors sitting around the house, but I wanted to see if I need the most 1337 one that they make to...
Exactly what the title says. I recently purchased an 8800 gts (EVGA). I uninstalled the old drivers, ran driver cleaner, installed the new drivers (97.92), and then installed n-tune. I had my card running stable at 627/900 with fan on 100% under ntune, but then I restarted and the settings went...
I am in the process of overclocking the said processor, and I am just wondering 1) what other people are running their processors at and 2) what is the range of acceptable voltages for said processor?
I have to admit, I have never flashed BIOS before :( With my recent luck, I have come into posession of a 7950 gx2. I read online that I need to flash the BIOS to the latest version to be able to use this card. To flash the BIOS, I have to install the latest chipset drivers. I am a little...
So the story starts a month ago. My XFX 7800 gt just died, and I was upset, having just purchased an EVGA 7800 gt used from a member on these forums. I had only used SLI for a couple weeks, and then my card dies with wacky artifacts all over the screen :(
So after talking with their rep on...
Well, long story short, it seems as though my 7800 gt has fried. I need to send it back in to XFx for an RMA. However, I have to get the Zalman vf-700 cooler off and replace the original fan.
1) What is the best way to get those zalman ram sinks off, so I can put the stock cooler on?
2)...
hey guys, i am in the midst of overclocking the said processor now that i recieved my new ram. i raised to voltage from stock (1.35v) to what it said in the BIOS was 1.475v. when i used AI Booster or PC Probe (two utilities that came with my ASUS board), they list the voltage as fluctuating...
I had recently agreed with Lighthammer to purchase OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) EL DDR400 Mirrored Platinum XTC from him for $185 shipped. On November 21st, I sent him the money via paypal and sent him a PM on these forums to tell him that I had sent the money. I recieved a PM later that day saying that he...

hey guys. i recently purchased a 7800 gt with the mentioned cooler on it from g33zy (and i would buy from him again :D ). the only thing is, the card didnt come with the supplied cable to choose the fan speed. what are my options for making sure the fan is running at full speed all the time? do...
i have an xfx 7800 gt. i have now decided to go SLI as a last upgrade before i go cold turkey and wait at least another year till the new hardware comes out and matures. so i am in the midst of picking up another 7800 gt (eVGA) from a member here on the FS forums. i am running the 84.21 drivers...
im looking to go SLI, so I need a new PSU. ive been looking at three silverstone PSUs, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817163109, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817163112, and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16817163111. they are all...
i was thinking of doing a quick, dirty upgrade to my machine to tide me over for another year or so while i wait for the dx10/vista stuff to come out. right now, i have 2x http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820141423, or in other words, 4x512 mb of ddr pc3200 kingstson value...
hey guys. i recently came across a modding article in CPU that talks about volt modding a 7800 gt. it talks about adding an artic cooling accelero 1 to the card so you dont fry it. i have an xfx 7800 gt, and as you can see here, its got this bar that runs across the top of it, that, after...

i recently purchased the said cpu cooler from newegg, and i love it. its quiet, and if it werent for the ungodly temperatures in so-cal (read: its hot as hell, but im thankful; my computer isnt :D ) my cpu would be running very cool. however, i do have one question about the fanmate 2 fan...
