Hey guys, this is driving me crazy and I was wondering if it was an OS thing or an SSD thing. I was running Windows 7 on my OCZ Vertex 3 60GB since Christmas. On the logon screen, after I typed my password and pressed Enter, the desktop loaded in 0.5 seconds to 1 second. Everything ready to...

Hey guys, a local shop here is selling both of these drives, with the OCZ being $158 after tax + $20 MIR, coming to a final price of $138. The Intel is also on sale however for $179 after tax. Based on all this, what do you guys think I should go with? I've had no problems with the Vertex 3 60GB...

Hey guys I recently built a new rig and have had no problems so far, but the other week, when I turn on the computer I do not see the standard post screens or even the Windows 7 loading screen. However my computer DOES boot into Windows 7 just fine and everything works as usual. But this is...

Hey guys, I have a motherboard that has 2 PWM fan headers, and I was wondering on your opinions of using PWM fans as case fans? They would be for the two 120mm fans on the top of my 600T SE. Although just wondering, would it be using a motherboard sensor of some kind to decide on when to ramp...

Hey guys just finished putting together the rig in my sig recently. I'm still undecided on the fans I should have on the top of my Corsair 600T SE. I want something quiet than can move a decent amount of air. Is CFM most important for a fan used on top or static pressure? Also, i currently...

Hey all, I've recently built a new rig but have held off on the GPU for now since my GTX 460 1GB is still decent. Right now a new one at a local shop costs $160ish after tax. I live in Canada and we have Boxing Day right after Christmas, which is the equivalent of Black Friday in the US. This is...

Hey guys so I've got an Antec P180 case and an i5 2500k. I also have an SLI setup with 2 GTX 460 1GB so case is pretty full. Anyways I've been looking at 3 different coolers, the Noctua NH-D14, the Antec Kuhler 920 and the Corsair H80. The H100 is out of the question since it won't fit inside my...

Hey guys, I was initially only looking to upgrade a few things but now I've more or less decided on a new rig but I'm re-using my old power supply, video card, sound card, and case. Here's my semi-new rig's specs: Antec P180 i5 2500k GA-Z68XP-UD3P G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB DDR3-1600 RAM x 2...

Hey guys what do you think of the 2 overall as mice, and what do you think is better overall? I haven't seen a display unit of the G9x, but I have for the Performance Mouse MX and it's very comfortable (I have large hands). However the side buttons placement leaves a lot to be desired so I'm...

Does anyone know of any air cooling solutions for the 2900XT? I wanted to get the Thermalright HR-03, but I'm not sure if it fits the 2900XT. If anyone can tell me if it does, or even if there's another cooler with good performance that first it I'd really appreciate it. :)

I have a friend who works at ATI so I can actually get it for half the retail price, so that being said, should I get it, or pay almost double for the GTS instead? I'm still undecided as the reviews are mixed for the card. Some sites say GTS is faster, others say XT is faster. There's no...

Hey guys, I'm building a new comp soon, and was trying to decide between the Alpha PRE9060T or Thermaltake CL-P0024 for E6600 CPU. Haven't seen many reviews for the Alpha in general but hear good things and really nice performance on the older ones. Which of these should I go for? I've looked...

Because I used a VGA to Component adapter cable, and shortly afterwards, my DVI output stopped working and now I have to send it in to Viewsonic to fix it for me. But I wanted to hook up my Wii to it for widescreen Zelda, and I was wondering what if using the VGA port on the monitor with the...

Hey if I plug in something to my monitor through component cables, and the image is green, does that mean that there I have Sync On Green on, or Sync On Green off? Also, is there a software way to turn it on/off? Or a cheap hardware method?

Hey all, I need help with the dreaded DVI output problem on the VX2025wm's. So I recently tried to connect my Nintendo Wii through a component to VGA adapter. The picture came up, but because of I'm assuming the Sync On Green, everything was well... green! Anyone know how to turn that off...
