Hey guys, The itch to upgrade has been creeping over me the past few days, so I would definately appreciate it if someone could help and/or give suggestions. Currently I'm my rig is... C2D E6300 OC'ed to 2.8Ghz Stable P5B-E (rev1 i think) 4GB Gskill ddr2 4 SATA 7200.10 1TB Seagate...

the way gsm works is each region around the world has specific bands they use.. ex. Asia mainly uses 900... USA uses 1900 and 850. since this phone does not have 850 it will automatically use the 1900 band. 850 band is preferred in cingular/att due to the fact it has better wall...

I ordered 2 of these on seperate orders. I paid with a credit card and the other with Paypal. Credit order went through and is being shipped, the paypal order is stuck on step one for 3 days already. I contacted both paypal and newegg, and they are blaming each other. Newegg even suggested...

i personally have that 27" olivia.. great tv so far.. watching it right now... but i'm wondering how this one compares?

very tempting... but i'm not sure about a GoVideo lcdtv and it's reliability tho? would be hot if the rebate wasnt there... anyone know much about this brand?

I wanted to chime in again. I personally recieved my new ram sticks today (and from what Rebeard said, they were fresh off the assembly) from Redbeard and got a little tour of the Corsairs lab! George seems like a great guy! and I have to say, awesome service from all of Corsairs, especially...

man.. OOS everywhere I've looked. Anyone know any other places?

I was thinking about water cooling, but decided against it, I rather set it and forget it.. i would hate having to check water levels and stuff all the time.

i'm expecting 4! lol

first rule I've learned is..it never hurts to ask, worst thing u could do is not ask then find out later that you could've done something another way ..so on and so forth.. I've read about the volt mods.. but I havent found one for this board that I could see and use. I only found it on one...

I definately have to say, I'm very happy with both Mike and Redbeard on this whole ordeal. They've gone above and beyond what was expected of them! I'm glad guys like you are around, that will work with the customer. I WILL be taking up the offer for the upgrade, this has also restored my...

I've had mine for a long while now. They sound awesome, get extremely loud without "noise".

Hi guys, I have the Asus P5B-E rev1.01g.. I was wondering if anyone have had any experience or know if it's possible I can switch this mobo revision to 1.02g through Asus? This is because ram voltage is maxed at 2.1v for the rev1.01g.. I can RMA through the local vendor I got it from...

seems like the tuniq has the votes... just in case, besides the tuniq, are there any other coolers anyone would recommend over it?

I currently have the Asus P5B-E rev1.01G. I'm thinking about getting it RMA'ed at a local store (they seem ok with it), but I will be charged 15% restocking fee... so I will be losing about $23 if I do that. I'm wondering if it was worth it to change up to the P5B Deluxe? It will be about...

yeah both are being reported by CPU-Z and CoreTemp... and yes, it's 45c Idle on stock.

LOL.. I'll be looking forward to the apples :D whats that old saying? an apple a day keeps the mac guys at bay? :p

yeah i know tuniq isnt a tec.. but it's one of my choices as a cooler due to good reviews.

I've been reading about the TEC coolers, and seems pretty good. Does anyone have any experiencess with them? My 3 coolers of choice right now are: Titan Amanda VIGOR GAMING CLT-M2I Tuniq Tower Can anyone recommend or give me thoughts on these coolers? Or if there are better options...

yeah, i'm pretty positive the memory is playing a big role. My corsairs dominators have promos ICs in them :mad: oh well.. they're going back tomarrow, so I have to look for new ram. While I'm at it, I'm gonna order a Corsairs HX620 also.. I can get it for $140-$145 shipped... :cool:

Alot of what you said is true, and I can agree with it to some degree. I'm not upset totally upset at the fact that I don't have the headroom that I was expecting with this ram. It's more or less, I paid a higher price for this ram, in which I could have just bought the lower end for a good...

yes, read Redbeard's post.. "Corsair will replace your 6400C4Ds with 8500C5Ds, which are Micron based, for the difference in price. "

well.. i think i'm going to send this ram back. Very disappointed, even though Redbeard has offered to let us switch up to the 8500C5Ds, we will have to pay the difference. From a legal stand-point I understand where Corsair is comming from, but as an enthusist community (even on they're...

looks like the HX620 is the winner :)

nevermind...

can i run these 8500C5Ds at 2.1v?? most places are showing them requiring 2.2v, and my mobo is limited to a max of 2.1 :(

yeah that was the next unit I had in mind. Was just reading reviews on it from JohnnyGuru, and it seemed like a very good contender, and right around my price range. I'm also contemplating on a couple others. Here's what I've narrowed it down to. Seasonic S12 Energy Plus 650W Power Supply...

yeah i checked directly with them too. They are 10$ cheaper than newegg... they want $199 :mad: :mad: :mad:

threshin, that link u gave points me to the The Recoton AD300 Universal AC Adapter - 300mA :) I was looking at the PCP&C 750, but the price is kinda high, only place I really know of to buy it would be newegg, and they want 200 :(

can you guys suggest a good psu for my needs then? Having modular cables would be nice, but not a defining factor. I dont plan on running SLI, but I do plan on getting a nvidia 8800 in the next couple/few months, along with OCing, so stability is a must. I would like to keep price at around...

my ram voltage is sitting at 2.1v... I cant bump the voltage up any higher in the mobo :(

It's the Vantec 520A. Here's a link to it. http://www.atacom.com/program/print_html_new.cgi?cart_id=8870544_66_249_65_36&Pagecode=SEARCH_ALL&Item_code=POWS_VANT_52_0A&USER_ID=www Frequency Range: 47Hz-63Hz Over Voltage Protection recycle AC to reset: +5V trip point < +6.3V +3.3V trip...

i guess I'm another one of those who got the "new" corsair dominators.. horrible overclock :/ should I just return them and get a different brand now? They cant even hit upper 900 speeds >.< such a waste of time getting these.. and I paid a premium! Suggestions on what to do would help...

i noticed a couple with with a much smaller raid 1 mirrored drive. isn't it supposed to have the same size at what it's mirroring?

yeah, I have the p5b-e, and that has ICH*R for matrix raid. One more question. I plan on putting my os and programs on raid 0 (a given), and the rest of my backup files, mp3s, video, pr0n..(jk.. well.. not really..haha) on different partitions. If my raid 0 ever fails or windows becomes...

Hi Guys, I have 2 sata drives i'm interested in partitioning. Is there any way I can set Raid 0 for only 1 partition and then use the other partitions normally, or possibly a 2nd partition as raid 1 setup as matrix..then the rest of the partitions as normal drives? Is this even a...

oh that sucks. I'm going through an RMA myself right now, it's with Dell actually. I bought the 20.1" widescreen lcd about 2 years ago, and they're replacing it now because of some backlight issues. It shows as shipped, and the CSR said they will include a waybill and I will be responsible...

well... i guess he could opt not to send it back even though they sent a pre-paid label...i mean, honestly, what could they do? :D :D :D
