I just put together a Core i5 2500K build last night. I’m a bit surprised on how high the cpu temp is on idle. This is checking it via the Click Bios in the MSI P67A-C43 motherboard. I’m running the stock cooler on the cpu. The cpu temp in the Click Bios is showing 55 degrees C while the System...

I recently purchased a 3500mah battery from Gorilla Gadgets for my HTC Evo phone. When I first charged the phone and the led indicator turned green, I assume it was 100% charged. So, I unplugged the charger and turned the phone on. When I turned it on, it shows it was only 85% charged and then...

Wassup! Hehe. Hey, I just got my MSI Wind 12 Netbook which has a VGA and HDMI out. So far, I have connected it to a 19" display via VGA connection. If I connected another monitor through the HDMI port, it should allow me to run 2 x external displays + display on the netbook? Thus, enabling me to...

This a good deal on the Corsair 650TX PSU. Most places online sells it for $90. You can pick this up at your local Best Buy store for $80. Just tell them to price match the online price. On top of that, if you get a faulty unit, it's more convenient to exchange it...

I just wanted to confirm this before I purchase a PCI video card. I have 4 monitors total. 3 of the 4 are running on 1 pc. The 3rd monitor I have it connected via a USB video adaptor. If I buy a PCI video card, I should be able to run the 2 displays off of this video card right? The other 2...

Anyone know what needs to be done to have the Blackberry Tour use the SIM card in another country? Does the phone need to be unlocked first and have it switch to GSM? I am on the Sprint network right now. I'm going to the Philippines this Monday and want to buy a SIM card up there and use it in...

My brothers PC I notice does not shut down anymore. I press the power button and hold it for 5+ seconds and it still doesn't shut down. The only way to turn it off is to flip the switch on the back of the PSU. I am wondering if this is a problem with the PSU, Mobo or maybe just a software issue...

I need help on the length of a GTX 260 video card. I have a little over 10" in space to maybe squeeze in a GTX 260 video card. What's the exact length measured on your GTX 260 video card? If it's 10.5" I won't be able to install it. But, if its like 10 1/8" in length, it may make it. Thanks

I have been thinking about this for a week already whether I should do this upgrade. I see this BFG Geforce GTS 250 1GB on Best Buys website for $150.

Man...soo bummed. My Hanns-G 28" crapped out 2 days ago. I only had this LCD for 4 months. I turned it on one morning to play UT3 online and it made a loud popping sound. Even after I turned it off it still started popping. It was going off like a firecracker. I had to pull out the power cord to...

I was wondering if my ATI X1650Pro AGP 512mb will be able to handle playing HD/Blue Ray discs. My system is an Athlon 64 3000+ at 2.13ghz and 2 gig RAM on XP.

I was looking into these boards also mainly due to the fact that they support the 45nm Wofldales and Yorkfield chips from Intel. There have been alot of positive reviews on the P35 mobos. I read though that some people experience problems when you have a SATA and IDE setup. The system runs slow...
