I'm about to do a new build and I got a corasir 750d airflow edition today. I removed the front air filter to swap out the stock fans with noctua fans and when I went to put the filter back on the left side latch mechanism wouldn't click in. I maybe removed it and clicked it back in 4 or 5 times...

I use an external hard drive to back up my important files. I've been using FBackup for quite sometime and it works well by allowing me to choose which folders I want to backup to my external drive. The only feature it is missing is a sync functionality where if I delete a file on my computer...

I just replaced a sabertooth p67 with a p8p67 evo board last night, got windows up and running, everything seems pretty good so far. i shut my system down last night, got home from work today, power it on and it just sat there for about 30-40 seconds or so before beeping and starting to boot...

I've got a 2600k on a sabertooth p67. i have it overclocked to 4.5ghz, however, it is always running at 4.5. I have speedstep and turbo enabled in the bios, so shouldn't it run at 1.6 ghz and then ramp up to 4.5 when needed??

I just put a sandy bridge system together with 2600k asus sabertooth p67 16gb g.skill ripjaws x DDR3 1600 the memory timings are advertised as 7-8-7-24. if i set those timings in bios I get some strange things happening. the bios will randomly freeze, windows won't install, memtest...

I was really interested in getting a 480 until i read about its issues while running dual monitors. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1258/15/ apparently when running dual monitors the card pulls 264 watts and idles at 90c because the mem clock and core clocks remain cranked up. nvidia is...

I've always owned a desktop, but I'm needing a laptop...more for doing 3d graphics work, but essentially a gaming laptop will work best for the kind of work that I do. I'm looking in the $2000-$3000 range. what companies make good laptops? the essentials that I need are 4 gigs of ram...

SOLD! Just got my GTX280 from step-up, brand new, haven't broken the shrink wrap. I'll post pictures tonight. I have a PayPal account and I'll ship it via UPS. Since this is from a step-up, I'm not sure if you can register it at evga.com. if you do have a problem within the first 30 days...

$350 shipped you can either take the 9800gx2 or I can step the card up to the GTX 280 and you can buy that off me when it comes in, only a couple days left in my step up though so act fast I've got an EVGA 9800gx2 for sale. Got it when it first came out so it has only been a couple...

i got a 9800gx2, have had it for a few months now and never had any issues. i shut my computer down last night and when i started it up today, my second monitor didn't display anything. i checked the nvidia control panel and the option to select multi-gpu mode or multi display mode is just...

i'm using vista ultimate 64 and i have a x-fi soundcard. i'm using some modified drivers and everything works great. my shutdown times are super slow and it is caused by a process called CTXFISPI.EXE this doesn't show up in the msconfig startup and i can't seem to find the service that uses...

i've been using Vista ultimate for the past couple weeks. i've noticed an odd thing with the way it will display folder contents from within applications. for example, i use photoshop a lot and many times it won't show everything in a folder until i hit refresh for that folder. let's say...

I'm currently using an 8800gtx, i love it for games, but i also do quite a bit of 3d work with Maya..the 8 series nvidia cards have pretty bad support for maya. i was thinking of making a switch over to the new 3870 x2, but wanted to see if anyone here was using it with maya. i want to be sure...

I'm running an 8800gtx and I use Maya quite a bit. there is a well known problem with the 8800gtx and maya where there are display issues in the 3d viewport. i use dual monitors and the only way to get maya to work properly is to go to the nVidia control panel and set the 8800gtx for single...

I just got a new system running and previously used Sysmetrix to show me RAM usage, CPU usage, hard disk usage and several other things. My new system has 8 gigs of ram, and for some reason sysmetrix won't show the ram usage properly. i'm looking for other 'widget' type apps to display info...

I just got this heatsink and i'm installing it onto a maximus formula board. I'm putting the backplate onto the backside of the motherboard and i've got a quick question. The back plate has a piece of semi-clear plastic on it that looks like it would sit between the backplate and the...
