I have fond memories playing burnout revenge on my ps2 and now I've moved onto burnout paradise on the pc. I can understand the idea behind an open world racer NFS MW did this quite well but Burnout Paradise does this poorly. All the races in BP are way too easy as long as you can somehow stay...

Fear 2 has been unbanned in Australia and will be released unedited. =D source

I just bought a couple of 120mm fans and installed them in my case and I'm astounded at the reduction in temps I have gotten. My current configuration atm is Front 1x92mm intake, Side: 2x80mm fans screwed onto each other (intake) + 1x120mm fan effectively blowing nearly directly on the 4850...

This morning I had a look wondering when the fuck Spore was going to be released and I stumbled upon ebgames and it said it was released in Australia and sure enough I rang up my local ebgames and they said they'd give me a call when it came in. An hour and a half later I get the call and I...

I'm currently on a WS 19" and I'm seriously thinking of upgrading to the BenQ G2400W and I just want to hear some experiences from people who have made a similar move from 19" to 24".

Whilst attempting to play the witcher my comp just spontaneously cuts out. I removed the possibility of it being a BSOD by disabling the "automatic restart" option in My computer. I also upped the voltage on my under-volted proc. to 1.200v which seamed to have little effect. I currently know...

I recently purchased an Antec MX-1 enclosure and Samsung HD501J hard drive. I got the antec MX-1 due to the fact it came with a internal sata to esata bracket. I recently transferred over a large amount of files and it took 3-4 times longer than it did to transfer files between my 2 internal...

eh I managed to solve the problem myself goodbye CCC

I've tried on irc to no avail I was wondering if someone could upload and give me the link to the setup.exe file for the bioshock demo as the one that came with the one I downloaded had a trojan horse in it and consequently refused to run.

I would like some help in getting this overclock stable as I really just want to sit on 3.2ghz w/o killing my ram speed by 100mhz. FSB: 7x458 Memory: 1:1 916mhz CPU: 1.375v vdimm: +0.4v (2.2v) G(MCH): +0.2v Temps idle: 54/53 load: 67/66 It fails all the different orthos tests...

During the America's campaign I get heavy artifacting which is basically a constant flickering across the screen. What I have tried: 1. I'm using the 1.2 patch because I haven't been able to successfully download 1.3 2. Put my comp back to stock 3. Used driver cleaner to do a...

is there a program out there that lets me monitor my motherboard temps?

My Samsung CD burner randomly ejects its tray and I have no idea why it does it. What's even more puzzling is the fact that's its been in my old Pentium 3 system with win98 and Mandriva then over to my current system w/XP and has done it regardless of OS and system. Any Ideas?

Darn overclocking addiction it started out just wanting a small 2.4ghz OC well that never happened so far these are the overclocks I've gone through: 2.13 > 2.66 > 2.72 > 2.88 > 3.15ghz. My latest overclock is 3.15ghz: [email protected] (450x7) 1.35v 2gb PQI DDR667@900mhz 5-5-5-12 1:1 ratio 2.1v...

I'm simply curious to see what overclocks [H] members have gotten with the intel stock cooler as well as share my own :) Anyways please use this simple format for posting. Also can you please refrain from posting full size pictures but post thumbs instead as I don't want this thread getting...

I was getting bored of my current wallpaper so I just decided to tweak a picture I took. Took me at least 15 mins to tweak the colour because my crt is darker than my LCD which just makes it trying to make the wp look the same on both monitors that much more difficult and time consuming but its...

I can safely say that I'm surprised by the overclocking potential of this budget basement PQI ram. My comp was a pre-built Australian computer so they'd have to skimp on some parts to actually get it to $2450 obvious places being the ram and power supply. The ram was PQI which overclocked from...

what would be better? 1. [email protected] w/1.175v ram@850 (4:5 divider ie. 2.5) 2. [email protected] w/1.2 ram@700 (1:1 divider)

My overclock of 2.72ghz @ 1.175v was stable on orthos for 8 hours but failed 5 min later. So can this overclock be considered stable as it did pass 8 hours of orthos?

Can undervolting do any real long term damage to a processor/have any disadvantages? I'm asking this because I've undervolted my cpu to 1.2v from the stock 1.32-1.35v rating.

Since I finally managed to overclock my comp I decided to run orthos because I couldn't get dualprime95 instances to work. Now what temp do I believe? Idling I've found Speedfan's temp1 was consistent with Intel TAT now under load thanks to orthos I have no idea. So can someone help me decipher...

A picture of a couple of mice huddling together on a warm speaker power converter behind my computer oblivious to me. Oh shit I have an infestation of these noisy little buggers.

I just ripped Family Guy Season 2 using DVD Decryptor so now I've got a bunch of .vob files which I'm not sure what to do with. I downloaded AutoGK 2.37 beta to convert them to avi but my problem is that some of the vob files seem to start in the middle of episodes or just show the credits so...

When I start up my computer I'm sometimes forced to press the power button multiple times just to get it to boot into windows and once it does its rock solid so is this a power supply problem or something else? note: specs are in sig

I'm thinking of turning my comp into a bit of a media center pc in the next couple of months so I can watch tv on it below is what I'm looking for: - pcie-1x - preferably not ati as they are a bitch to find in Australia - support for 720p - comes with bundled goodness ie. remote, software...

Bloody hot weather middle of the day in Australia close to or more than 30*C. My stock e6400 usually idles around 45-50*C and speedfan was reading it at a toasty 57-60*C at idle. Also my x1950xtx was idling at 80*C usually 60-70*C. So in my ghettoness I took off the side of my computer case I...

I think a posting guidelines for the general hardware forum needs to be setup because its drivin' me nuts when people asking for help on a new build, just provide links with no explanation of what each individual part is. They expect people to click on each individual link just to know what each...

So what kind of overclocks have people been getting? I managed to get 695 core and 1098 mem running Ati Overdrive and shit the extra 200 mhz on the mem has made a difference in my fps running CoH at 1440x900 everything max.

Since I had a cd burner that was doing nothing except sitting in an old p3 box I decided to install it into my new comp and what a surprise something went wrong and now windows fails to detect any of my drives. 1. The dvd burner is set as the master as it is at the top of the case using the...

I went into tools > Folder options > filetypes and unintentionally set find as the default option for double clicking on a folder so I'm unable to remove that change so then I created "open" and set the program as explorer.exe so when I double click on a folder it now opens up in new window so...

So why does everyone hate the ccc? imo it's not perfect but it does the job.

Since I currently have 2xseagate sata hdd's, I'm thinking of taking one out and buying an enclosure for about $60 - $70 (darn sata) to use as an external hdd. My question is would it be worthwhile after weighing up all the pros and cons? My motherboard doesn't have an esata port and I'm...

My temps are around 70*C idle and I ran the automated clock config tool in the CCC and I found out that I could up the core processor by about 50mhz. I'm just curious to know what other people's x1950xtx are idling at with the stock cooler :) Also would upping the core by 50mhz do alot...

I installed FarCry patch 1.3 because I wanted to try out hdr in far cry, I then attempted to install the modified cat 6.9's which gave me an error and far cry refused to work, so I then did a clean install (w/ drivercleaner) of the original drivers that came with the vid card. I then tried to...

I have heard of a program that lets you set programs to run off different cores I've just been unable to find it so any links would be appreciated :)

I'm getting CoH now I just need a solid fps to go along with it. I'm considering Cod2 but I'm open to suggestions :)

Since I am getting a nice new comp soon which is taking forever to arrive (e6400, x1950xtx, 2gig ddr667, Widescreen 19" monitor) , I've decided to look at some strategy games to get for it. For $40 (Australian) I can get C&C Generals + the expansion or for $80 (will be less once I've traded in...
