Heat http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=34876 Contact email davebirt @ gmail .com PM me here or Email me. The Gmail goes straight to my phone so I will see it pretty quickly. I went through another big upgrade cycle so I have my old setup here for sale. Here is the list...

I am making the jump to an SSD, and trying to determine what size I should get. Basically here is what will be on it Win7 64bit WoW Steam --TF2 --CS:S maybe one other game (not sure what yet, probably some military fps type though) Office (the complete suite) Photoshop...

I have this in my build thread, but I am desperate and need help fast :( So it wouldnt overclock, not even 1mhz. Tried the MSI OC Genie, nope. BSOD before it even gets to loading windows. Get it back to defaults Boots ok Reboot, go into bios (uefi) Set mem to 1.63v and 1600 (it was...

My comp would be pretty quiet if it wasnt for the INSANELY (by my standards) fan that comes stock on my MSI 6970 (the normal one not the big alum one) What is out there for quieter HSF units that work on this card? And where can I find them?

I am upgrading from an E8500 which I am not overclocking (for some reason this rig just decided it didnt want to OC without constant BSODs, but its rock solid at the stock speeds) I am running an HD6970 and the MOBO is an MSI P67A-GD65 Here is the thing, I know that the K series OCs...

So here is my rig Core2duo E8500 4GB DDR3 ATI 4890 1GB Vista Home 32bit 26" monitor 1920X1200 I am beginning the upgrade process, and will eventually be going to a Sandy Core chip, once they are more readily available, so for now I am going to do 8gb ram, Windows 7, and a video...

Like the title says. I have this spare comp, and while I don't use it THAT often, I want it to be at least somewhat capable when I do. Its a Core2Duo I forget the model but its 2.93ghz and the machine has 2gb ram. Current video card is an old BFG 8400GS. I want to spend under...

Just picked these up a day or two ago, liking them so far, not sure how "convinced" I am on the surround aspect, however I haven't spent much time tweaking them, and have only really played WoW so far. Today I will do some testing with music and Counterstrike Source or TF2. So far what I can...

Title says it all. I am starting to get a little of an annoying tick from the fan on my video card. I love the card, so I am not even remotely thinking about replacing it. I do however want to get something to fix it. So upgrade time! Could anyone point me in the direction of a...

I have always run the 10krpm raptors for my main drives, currently I have the 150gb version, but I am simply running out of space. Having several games that take up a lot of space, and torrents filling things up fast, I am in a never ending cycle of moving things to keep the C drive below 80%...

Title says it all. These are the video cards I had in the last version of my main machine. I built a new box and have no need for these. I want them gone before I do something stupid like decide that I should build another computer with them :p These are the original 8800GTS's with 640mb...

I know its nothing to do with the quality, its just my crap luck :mad: I hooked everything up, routed all the cables, made everything pretty, and tested the PS with a paperclip. The lights came on, and the fans kind of bumped forward. I nudged a blade, and they all came on. So I check...

I dont want to go SLI, I have 2 8800GTS 640s, they were in SLI, but I dont play games that much anymore, and the only game I really do play anymore is WoW, which performs better on a single 8800GTS 640 than it did when I was in SLI mode. So I am looking to upgrade the single 8800GTS 640 SC...

I wasnt sure where to post this, because I dont honestly know what the problem is. I had heard that WoW isnt super dependant on the video card, more on Ram and Proc power. Basically here is the situation I get into an area with a lot of people, like a major city, or something like...

So I have been running my E7200 @3.4 for a good 3-4 months, all the sudden, I cannot OC it AT ALL. Not 1mhz. It does different things ranging from doesnt even post, to gets into windows then locks, to bluescreens at any time between loading and desktop. I have done a clean install of Vista...

Ok so last night was the final straw. Ever since my latest build, I am very rarely, but once in a while (last night at 4am:mad: ) INCREDIBLY loud screaching noise. I keep my speakers turned 90% of the way to full volume, and use the computer to control the volume (volume knob on my G15). So...

Ok so its time to change things up in my system. Here is what I want. Core2Duo proc. I have an E4300 right now. It used to OC to 3.0, now it wont hold anything faster than 2.6. So I am looking for something faster, I know OCing is a YMMV thing, but I am looking for a proc that is known...

I listed a few items for sale. One of them was a laptop. Another [H] member "freshmtb" was interested. I receieved several PMs on the laptop from him, gave him my paypal address and waited. Several days passed and on jan 19th he sent payment. The VERY NEXT DAY he filed a paypal...

I need money so I need this stuff gone! LOWBALL OFFER PMS WILL NOT BE RETURNED. NO REPLY=NOT INTERESTED 1. Sager 5680 notebook computer-- This served as my portable lanparty machine for a while a few years back. It still works well today, but its a bit outdated. The battery is pretty...

I have the broken disc. No idea how it got broken :mad: I obviously have the key. Its 100% valid, I bought it. Its mine. 100% legit. Are we clear on that??? Ok so now what? Will Microsoft replace the CD? If I CAN get my hands on an image of XP home, I can use my key cant I? Lets...

I have upgraded to a 2X120, so I no longer need this 1X120. Its a swiftech MCR120 and it worked very well cooling my [email protected]. I will include 1 Yate Loon D12SL-12 with this! (not pictured, but sitting here with it) $25 shipped (this includes the fan!) Paypal prefered Heat=davenow

Ok so I am getting poor framerates in TF2 like the title says. In the 30fps or lower range at times. I am THINKING its due to Vista, as it was fine at higher settings in XP. Here is my setup. E4300 C2D @3.1 4GB patriot ddr2 800@840 (4X1gb sticks) 680i mobo 2X 8800 GTS (640mb...

I am looking to make some upgrades to my loop. I want to stick with Swiftech as I have had excellent luck with their stuff and the prices have always been right. Here is what I am looking for Swiftech MCR320 3X120mm radiator. Prefer one with metal 3/8th barbs, but I can buy them on my own if...

I have 2 8800GTS's in SLI with stock hs/fans on them. I want to water cool my NB, but that leaves my SB with only the small unfinned HS and a cut off heatpipe. That thing seems to get really hot, so I am thinking it will need some kind of cooling, but there looks to only be like 3/4 of an...

In my quest for a quiet, cool PC, I have determined that my northbridge fan is my last real source of noise. MAN that thing is loud. I can turn it down, but that just raises temps more than I would like. I have found a couple nice northbridge waterblocks I can use, but I am concerned with...

Title says it all. I want to make my fans run at 7V instead of 12. Or maybe 10. I havent decided yet. What resistor do I need and which wire do I put it on? If anyone knows what resistors would get me to 10V, 7V and 5V that would be great too. I did a bit of googling and I cant find...

Basically there are 2 reasons. 1. I just want higher numbers. I know, I know. But I want to be at 3.4 minimum. I would LOVE 3.6. 2. I am CPU limited in games at this point. At the stock clock speed I cant run TF2 with everything maxed, even with 640mb 8800GTS's in SLI. At 3.11 its awesome...

I have the audigy 2 ZS already in my maching. I am building it into a new case, and I picked up an Xtremegamer X-fi to use since it sounded like it should be a better card. I am going to be using Vista on this machine, so losing the hardware acceleration isnt an issue, although from what I...

I have upgraded to a 2X120, so I no longer need this 1X120. Its a swiftech MCR120 and it worked very well cooling my [email protected]. $20 shipped I also have this ECS mobo that came with the E4300 as a package deal from Frys. Its brand new never been used, I only cut the straps to open the...

I have had this raptor since about 5-6 months after they came out (yes YEARS ago) Its served me very well and I love it, but lately as of the last year or so, it seems to be getting sluggish. Its not a defrag or how much is on it problem, because it does it even on a fresh install. It seems...

2GB Patriot Enhanced latency PC6400 (2X1gb) kit for 69 bucks no rebate. I just picked up a second set for this come in prep for Vista (4gb ftw)

So I am an almost total WC noob. I have a couple questions. I just bought a 2X120 rad off another [H] member, its going to replace the 1X120 that came with my swiftech kit (which I have been very happy with, but would like to drop temps a little) I need 2 fans for it, but I want QUIET fans...

I need one that has a 3 pin connector only and one that has either a 4 pin or both. Can I just cut the 4 pin off if I get 2 fans that have both? My case is cluttered enough without having extra fan pigtails hanging around in it lol. They are going on a 2X120 radiator, so they should be...

AND the sleeve with the cd key on it. (no, for real, Im serious, its legit, I can post pics of me holding the box and the 2nd disc if anyone wants to call me a theif or pirate or something) Any ideas? Short of going and buying the game over again? I dont play it anymore, but I know I likely...

A buddy gave this to me (someone gave it to him lol) and I have XP on my gaming box. I planned on installing it on my laptop (which is a decent gamer and runs Vista) but I really dont have time for a new game, and Im still hung up on CS:S and DOD:S :D Its still sealed, brand new. $30...

Ok so I am in some money trouble right now lol. First up Lian Li mid tower case. PC65-B I used this about a year and a half, I love it, its UBER light, and good looking. Not bad shape, some scratches on the back side (right side door if you are looking at it from the front). No PS, I can...

I cant seem to find a way to create more than one profile:confused: Did they remove that feature?

I have decided to sell my HTPC to fund some nice audio bits for my new car. I HATE to let this thing go, but I really need the money and really dont get to use this much. Here are the specs. Black SIlverstone HTPC case, full ATX size LC17 (awesome case) ASUS A8N5X motherboard (socket 939)...

I currently have 2 1gb sticks of ram in my mobo. I want to add 2 512 sticks to bring the total to 3gb. I would be using the same brand/model of memory I heard something that made me think that for some reason that would kill or hinder the OCability of this setup. Is there any truth to this?
