I have a HP HPE-570t which has a Cleveland-GL8. It's chipset is Intel H67 and it's socket type is LGA 1155. Right now I have a 3.4GHz i-7-2600 processor on it and want to upgrade to the fastest processor possible. What would that be?

thanks!

Had a crash Saturday. Rebooted and saw graphical artifacts at the bios boot screen. They went away at the windows splash screen and the user login, but returned on my desktop. Ran an Ad-Aware full scan- it picked up five problems, two serious. Fixed the problems, rebooted, and now can't boot...

cleared the CMOS by popping the battery worked. weird.

Folks, I have a Pavillion Elite HPE-270f in the office that refuses to boot past the HP splash screen and won't enter BIOS with either the F8 or F10 key. When the F10 key is pressed the computer responds by saying it's entering setup... but it never does. Immediately before the reboot...

Wow, damn, I had no idea. I've connected to random unsecured wifi in residential neighborhoods several times while I've been out on an adventure and gotten lost and needed to google maps myself home. I didn't realize there was anything illegal about borrowing some bandwidth that's...

I want to use my laptop in my car. I travel a lot and it would be convenient if there was a way to automatically scan for and connect to available unsecure wifi connections on the fly. Is there a piece of software that could accomplish this? I've tried googling, but my search strings don't...

thanks!

is the only difference between the Rampage II and Rampage III $10 and SATA ports / RAID? I am surprised that the mobo with SATA 6GB is the cheaper one, but I'm probably missing something?

thanks for all the links! But how can you tell if a mobo supports dual 2-slot cards? I only found out that the Asus Rampage worked because I found a review that stated that. Even the manufacturer web site didn't state it. Or, are all SLI cards supposed to support dual 2-slot cards?

I can't stand it when I can't come up with the right search phrase for google to find what I need. I know the answer is out there, I just can't find it, so here I am asking you: Is there a LGA 1156 or 1366 mATX board that would support a pair of 2 slot video cards (like the Palit GeForce GTX...

i just shopped at Dell for a laptop and was VERY disappointed. There are no options under $2000 that even comes close to the performance I'll have with a SFF. I'm more confident now than ever that this is the right direction. Now, if only there were a mITX that supported more than 8GB of...

I sent an email to Matt at Lan Gear re: mITX case availability, but haven't received an answer yet. I hope it'll be available soon, but the SG07 seems like a great alternative- especially with the included 600w PS and 180mm fan. Yes, I have considered the laptop route. This was the...

Since the CAD software I use is primarily CPU and RAM intensive, I would love to create the coolest environment possible and see what sort of stable overclock is possible. If I can easily and safely get 150%+ I will. I've read many cases of folks reaching 4+GHz with a i7 870 with air...

So, in your opinion, stock cooling is a "better" solution than the Noctua? I don't understand.

Thanks!

please quantify "better." I heard that nothing is better than the Noctua in terms of cfm/db. There are going to be (2) 120mm fans, (2) 92mm fan, and (1) 140mm fan in the case (in addition to the component fans) and I won't be overclocking (well, maybe a little). Since these workstations...

Folks, I'll be building 3-4 of these workstations for my architectural firm. SFF was chosen because of it's portability and we travel overseas regularly. We use Revit, AutoCAD and Adobe products primarily. Budget is around $1400. I've researched all of these components fairly extensively...

do you mean the internal USB devices, like the ports on the front of my case that plug into the motherboard, or the external devices like my keyboard, mouse, etc? I had heard this suggestion before and thought the author was talking about internal connections, but I haven't considered the...

Interesting to me that its able to run stabily for so long, but as soon as it reboots or is shut down and turned on it often falls into a loop.

Thanks. When I have made it into BIOS, I have set everything to non-overclock settings. i have tried all 4 sticks of RAM one at a time and have had it fall into the reboot loop with each. I'm looking at drivers and flashing the bios now.

Hard Folks, I just installed a Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3L mobo w/ 6GB RAM (2-2GB sticks, 2-1GB), Geforce 9800GT PCI-E vid, Intel E7200 processor, an IDE DVD & HD and two SATA HDs. Often the system will enter a boot loop upon power-on or reboot every 2-4 seconds- not enough time to enter BIOS...

I'm searching for reviews of Core2 mobos, like those ECS models mentioned above that are bundled at Fry's, but am overwhelmed by the results. None that I see are breaking it down, though, the way I'd like. Can anyone recommend a review?

sorry it took so long to answer, but it is nice to still have a job these days. My PSU is pretty generic, I think, and I'm not opposed to replacing it, of course, if necessary. It is a "Black Steel" 580W. +13.3, +5, +12, -5, -12, -5

are the Fry's mobo/CPU bundles on their website? I only saw one AMD combo listed...

dur, I mean Geforce 8800 (specifically, PNY Geforce 8800GT 512MB) oh- sh*t, i just saw hossdaddy's post- I can't believe the price he quoted- I'm going to have to look into that! I'll have to look at my PS when I get home. I actually have an old 19" CRT, but what difference does that...

Folks, My poor ol' lass just can't cut the Stalker: Clear Sky mustard. She's a 3.0Ghz P4 on an ECS PF4 (Socket 775) w/ a PCI-E 256MB Radeon 1950 & 2GB of RAM. I only have $200, maybe $300 to blow at this (f*ing economy...), so Bang for the Buck is very important. I'm not sure what my...

please!

I swear there has to be a way to remotely control my VISTA laptop from my iPaq 3950 while it's connected via activesync. What I want to do is keep my laptop in my saddle-bag on my motorcycle and have my ipaq mounted on my handlebars with a wired connection (since my ipaq doesn't have wifi or...
