Not having much to upgrade in the last few years, my system has become kinda cluttered and im at the point where i need to do a fresh install. I presently have a corsair gt 240 as my main drive and a wd 640 black as my secondary/minor game/storage drive. My main drive is only about half full and...

i had my set of 6970 running fine with 13.4 drivers. i never had to bother with extended desktop....i left it in eyefinity mode across my 3 screens all the time. why? because when i maximinzed my browsers they would snap to the single screen size...if i double clicked on the top part of the...

Just wondering if this upgrade would be worth it performance wise.

this happens mainly when the system has been put to sleep for a longer period of time (ie overnight).....no matter what i press it won't resume from sleep. the power button is blinking like its in sleep mode, but the keyboard does nothing. the one thing i find odd is when i hit the spacebar i...

i just upgraded a few parts and im testing out some oc numbers. im not looking for bleeding edge numbers, just a nice balance between a small oc and acceptable temps. i just adjusted the multi to see what results i could get. tested using occt v4 for 1 hr. i know under normal gaming use you...

Im hoping some Coolermaster REP will see this as contacting customer service doesnt seem to work... i got my usb 3 "adapter cables" from coolermaster. useless. you still have to use the 3 ft extension cables that came with the case, making the total cable length now 3 ft 6 inches (approx) to...

a while back i thought i had this working. apparently not. mediasonic 4bay usb3 external drive (NON raid) 3 WD 2TB EARS drives (jumpered) i want to be able to plug this box into my whs v1 machine and share the drives over the network, without these drives being part of the actual whs...

ok so i have my whs running just fine for a long time now.(dvds, tv shows) my issue is this... i recently purchased a mediasonic 4bay usb3 external box for bluray backups (awesome little box btw). using this would be cheaper and should be easier than upgrading the whs in my case ...i store the...

im looking for star wars eyefinity wallpaper....does nothing exist? imo one of hte space battle sceeens in hi res would look pretty damn nice across 3 screens.

I just found out tonight how retarded this company really is. It seems that you can purchase a zillion other types and kinda of headphones, but you cant actually buy replacement oem headphones for the ipod from apple. this is the dumbest thing ive ever heard. my daughter has small ears and we've...

ok so im getting pretty annoyed with my current case. the antec morons that designed the airfilters for the 1200 should be fired. having to disassemble the darn thing every month to clean the filters is just stupid. ive ust picked a pair of 6970 video cards to repalce my current 5870 cf setup...

im having issues with tv recordings on a new build which went together with a new hometheatre setup for my parents. i have 2 tv tuners and ive tried both, both giving crappy results. all the tv recordings are massively blurry, and look like something youd get off a vcr on the 55" tv. ive tried...

ive been using my whs for years and its been working fine. back when i first built it pp1 was stable, and they had released a new update which caused major headaches with corruption etc... so i never bothered to update since. now im rebuilding my whs using updated components, and im just...

ok so im running whsv1 and will be doing a rebuild soon. im planning on upgrading some of the drives and am looking for advice on which drives to use. at present i have 1 seagate 500gb os drive 3x 1.5tb wd green drives and 1x2tb eards wd drive. im planning to have 4x 2tb drives after the...

im setting up an upgraded windows 7 32bit htpc for the parents and they want the commercial skipping to work as it does in their old mce machine. ive downloaded and installed showanalyser suite (version 1.0.59.783), dvrms toolbox (version 1222 r4) and the dtb addin (version 1006 r4) ive...

i have some small "stutters" in my blu-ray rips. it seems to be random, but if it starts to stutter it seems to continue at random places in the movie and it makes it near impossible for me to watch as it drives me nuts.... i was ripping with dvdfab, main movie and playing from tmt3. some...

im going to be upgrading my HTPC soon so id like some input. i was planning on using a WD 640 Black AALS as the OS drive simply because its a good drive and i already have one. i am slowly integrating Blu-ray into my HTPC, and therefore need storage for the rips. i already have a new WD Green...

im not sure if im even needing to upgrade the videocard in my htpc or not. right now i have an old 8800gt 512. i noticed when testing out my tv today (Sony 60" LED LCD @1920x1080) that in some very small instances i was getting some "lurching" in the video. it was extremely small that the other...

im coming to the conclusion that converting the bluray titles to mkv using makemkv seems like the easiest and best way to totally integrate bluray into a windows 7 mediacenter pc.... ive always just ripped the main movie and i dont compress. (dvd or bluray) ive been playing with tmt3 but...

just installed total media theater 3. seems to work just fine, except 1 thing. it doesnt seem to matter whether i launch tmt in wmc or on its own....when im done and press the back button on my remote...the windows taskbar becomes visible and selected. i now have to select the screen with a...

just a quick question to all of you that have had to rma a psu. so how many of you, and which company have you had to deal with, that made you wait over a month for your replacement?? cough...corsair... apparently there is is "high demand" for these units (hx850) therefore they are...

well i got my little magicjack the other day, installed it on my whs, used a little program to run it an a service, and voila. works like a charm. i gotta say for the small investment this thing (so far) seems to be pretty damn awesome. im paying $30/month right now for a home phone on cable (no...

well i said fuck it and picked up the retail x25-m 160Gb today. friggin cant install it till im done with some downloads though.....sucks. any special things i should do when i install it? i know im not supposed to format it, just let windows 7 do its thing when installing. is defrag disabled...

any thoughts on this drive? selling for $359.99 CAD ($60 off). not really sure how accurate the numbers are (read/write sustained transfer). this drive "seems" really fast compared to alot of others ive been looking at comparing the numbers...

not sure where this should be posted, but since it impacts my video, im gonna put it here.whenever i have afterburner running and playing some games (ie dirt 2), i get the small stutters. if i disable it then it goes away. obviously its linked to the monitoring, and im sure the cpu takes a hit...

SOAB....my hx850 just fucking died on me. was playing some BFBC2 and all the sudden... shutdown.arg. this is the 2nd psu from corsair in the last year thats caused me problems. so now im stuck with waiting for a damn rma once that gets started unless i want to fork out for another psu to forgo...

i just picked one of these controllers up so i could regulate 2 new 1600rpm slipstream fans i mounted on my h50 for push/pull exhaust (i got tired of the dust). i stripped down the controller so im only using the 2 fan wires, 2 temp probes and the power cable. seems to work fine, although...

i should say the LACK of performance. i checked my gpus using afterburner and they seemto be only at about 68-70% while playing crysis 64bit (vista sp2 comp mode). i have to set my details at medium and 2 on low. im still only gettting 34-42 fps, moistly hanging around the 34-36 range. its...

ok so i got my second asus 5870 today. uninstalled all ati stuff. used driversweeper. installed 2nd card, reinstalled 10.2 drivers. detected second card and enabled crossfire on its own. great. only problem is i get some weird graphic corruption, especially when im scrolling on a webpage. the...

hope someone can help me out on this.up to now i havent had any real issues with my home network setup. ive got 3 main computers, 1 whs and 1 htpc hooked up to my network. im using a Dlink 4100 gigabit router, dlink dwl-2100ap access point and a dlink dgs 2208 8 port gigabit switch. built...

my question is this... i have my desktop at 5760x1200 in eyefinity. no problems. now id like to do 2 more things which would make my setup perfect for what i want. first. be able to make a profile that turns the screens into extended mode, so i can maximize windows when surfing and have 3...

i think we need an eyefinity sticky thread so we can put all the posts together.

i wanted to see if i could get dirt 2 working in eyefinity, so.... i uninstalled my 10.1 hf drivers from the control panel., reboot. got generic desktop. rebooted again for good measure. installed catalyst 9.12 hf drivers. (i assume there is only one version of this driver???) rebooted. got...

2 questions. 1. i have the asus 5870. should i use the asus driver cd or use the generic catalyst 10.1 drivers? the asus drivers say 8.69 so im not sure what the ati version numbers are. im not sure if there is a difference or if the included asus utilities are really worth installing. the...

ive been using the LG L246WP-BN for about 2 yrs now. its 1900x1200 and i love the space. ive been looking for some side-by-side comparisons between a 1900x1200 and a 1900x1080 lcd, specifically the dell lcds. ( u2410, p2310h) im planning an eyefinity setup very soon, but im unsure of my...

im planning on switching to win7 64bit. right now i have 2gb 1066 ddr2. im hoping to get the same ram i have now but in a 4gb kit if possible so my build stays the same. my question is 2 parts... my board downclocks the memory if you use all 4 banks to 800mhz. so if i can get the same...

i have an Acer Aspire One D150. ..upgrades...2gb ram, Seagate 320GB 7200.11 hard drive, 6 Cell Battery, using 4GB sdhc card for readyboost, windows 7 ultimate. i know the video chipset is a pos but im wondering if anyone else has experimented with this. the default res on the small netbook...

ive had my htpc setup for a while for movie rips and moderate games like guitar hero world tour. im running an m2n-e so i should be able to upgrade the cpu to a newer athlon2 x2 or an x4 if its worth it. cpu: AMD Athlon x2 5200 ( 65w version) vid card: Zotac 9600gt 512 ram: 2gb corsair...

i was wondering if anyone has ordered and/or did this mod with their acer aspire one. http://cgi.ebay.ca/10-1-ACER-ASPIRE-ONE-D150-SOLDERLESS-TOUCH-SCREEN-KIT_W0QQitemZ400088105373QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5d271c019d#shId seems like a nice little mod but ive never...

i have to say that the policy of a company to provide a "refurbished" unit to replace a broken item under warranty is obsurd. this may be the policy at many companies but this should not be happening. you pay good money for a product. product breaks. they provide you with a "refurbished"...
