Broken motherboard: Abit IP35 Pro: Intel P35. Only two of the SATA ports work, otherwise it's fine. Newegg link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127030 SOLD Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0 SLACR: Comes in original box, but does not include the stock cooler. Newegg...

First up, power supply. I have no plans to go with multiple video cards, so I figure a ~500W power supply should be sufficient. What's my best option for around $100? I see the Antec Neo Eco units recommended here pretty regularly - are these good enough for overclocking? I plan on buying...

It's getting close to new-build time, and I am pretty out of the loop on Intel-compatible motherboards. As far as I can tell from a quick perusal of these boards, the EVGA 680i seems like the most feature-rich and overclockable board available at the moment, but also one of the most expensive...

Well, my Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro came in the mail the other day and I've had my computer on for about 72 hours, letting the thermal paste settle. I'm a little worried about my temperatures, and I'm starting to think the HSF isn't seated properly. At stock voltages/speeds on the cpu/ram...

I'm posting my current attempt at overclocking this aging cpu in order to get any kind of feedback or advice you guys have to offer. I am using the machine in my sig (if you want any more detailed information about it, just ask), Prime 95 with "In-Place Large FFT" torture test, CPUZ, Speedfan...

I'm looking to buy a CPU HSF for my somewhat-aging system, A64 3500+ Venice on an EVGA NF4 SLI 133-K8-NF41 in a Coolermaster Centurion 532 case. I want to be able to use it in my next system, most likely something in the Intel 775 family. I am leaning towards the Tuniq Tower 120, but...

I'm running an eVGA 7800GT on the 81.98 Forceware drivers. Everything I use works flawlessly, so is there any reason to update my drivers? Reasons might include better gaming performance, better overall performance, better overclocking, etc.

Does anyone have any experience with the Motorola 68HC11 series microcontroller? I'm planning on using it to make a digital keyboard synthesizer for my senior electrical engineering project. My plan is to have the inputs to the uC be the seven keys on the keyboard (musical notes A-G), and have...

Does anyone know how to make it so non-anamorphic widescreen DVDs, that is, DVDs that have the black bars on the top and bottom hardcoded into the video, not show these black bars? As it stands now, any dvd set up like this will have black bars at the sides, top and bottom when watching on my...

Has anyone tried it? It seems that most (all) modern cars have computers to calculate how much fuel, air, etc gets sent to the engine. So, what's stopping someone from telling the car's computer to send more? I assume this IS possible, but probably doesn't give much noticable gains, as most...

So I'm looking at these air coolers recommended in Korruption's sticky at the top of this forum, and I start to think "Yeah, I haven't bought anything in a while. I'm working a crappy internship 40 hours a week. Why the hell not?" After I head over to newegg for current prices, I've found the...

Good morning [H]-citizens. I've been recently tinkering with the idea of overclocking my processor (see signature for spec), but I seem to be stuck. I read the stickies on overclocking in general and overclocking an AMD CPU, but my questions are not answered there. I was able to determine...

I have 2 x 512 sticks of Corsair (see sig) running in dual-channel right now, but that 2 x 1GB Patriot deal seems too good to pass up. However, I don't know what configuration would be better: 1) Remove the 2 x 512 and use only the new 2 x 1GB in dual-channel. 2) Keep the 2 x 512 in there...
