    First time Overclocker, this OC going to be ok?

    Hi, I'm fairly new to overclocking and was wondering if this OC and the way I did it is going to be safe/stable. (My build specs are in sig) I went to the BIOS and changed to 400x8 so it's running at 3.2GHz, 29C Idle. I put the voltages on Auto instead of Manual. Then I overclocked my...

    Where should I put these...

    Where should I put these 120mm fans. I have this case. Right now I have one in the front, one on my Ninja heatsink and the other on the side. Should I move the side one to the front? What would be best for maximum airflow to get lower temps. Or should I get a fourth and put it in the front, or...

    8800GT causing improper boot

    I'm not sure if this is the problem, but I've narrowed it down to it. When I press the power button on my computer, no boot screen or video appears, I can hear my 8800GT fan spin at 100%, but it goes longer than usual, 10 seconds normally, then the computer shuts off immediately. 5 Seconds later...

    TV tuner for satellite

    Hi there. I have Direct TV and want to be able to watch TV on my computer. The problem is, my satellite receiver on my first floor on the opposite side of the house. Is there anything I can do about this, perhaps some sort of wireless transmitter? What would I need to do? Thanks! mackry

    Honestly, how much difference can you tell...

    Honestly, how much difference can you tell from 1280x1024 to higher resolutions, in terms of detail? I have a 19" I got three years ago, and now everyone has a widescreen 22". In games such as Crysis, truthfully, how much detail is discernible to the naked eye to you? Enough to spend $300 on a...

I use 1280*1024 resolutions and plan to OC at least to 3.2GHz btw. I'm trying to go the cheapest route possible...

    Before I order, critique please?

    My final build before I order. Critique please if you'd like and feel free to give me suggestions. I also need a PSU to pick. I have my mind set on the Corsair 520HX. Moreover, I plan on overclocking the proc to around 3.4ghz. Would this setup work well for that? Budget around $900 I plan on...

    Be cheap, stay 939?

    Hey all, I've currently have a 64 3500+, ASUS A8n-sli deluxe, 1gig gskill ram, 6800gt, 10k rpm raptor. I did not know you could get a dual core 939.

    Crysis nvidia.txt, 8800GT highend?

    I'm not sure if this has been posted before and it's pretty useless and not sure what it means, but I found it interesting. In C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Game\Config\gpu folder is nvidia.txt the 4 means 8800gt is going to kick ass on Crysis :)

    Another New Builder & Need advice please

    Hey all. After almost 3 years with my current build (amd 64 3500+ 6800gt and 1gb ram) I'm going to upgrade. I still love my PC and it still plays most games, but these newer ones (CoD:4, UT3, Crysis, etc..) are killin' it! I've tried to read up on parts and put together this build: Processor...
