    6850 crossfire decision

    I'm running my comp out to my 67" tv. 1920x1080. It works great, but my 8800 gts 512 is showing its age. I've read lots of test results where the crossfired 6850's generally handily beat the newer 1-card solutions (570, etc) at this resolution. I'm searching now, but is crossfiring (never...

    Building new machine. Considering Corsair hx650 and hx750 for the build. no plans to overclock. air cooled. had considered a seasonic of some variety...but current rebates make the corsair attractive. A look at the antec power supply configuration calculator puts me around 550w continuous...

    asus p5k-e - last stable bios for 6600 proc?

    In trying to fix my optical out problem on my p5k-e, i tried the latest bios (i know...mistake). Anyway, I can't back down to my saved bios... so I'm wondering, is there any bios I can back down to where I don't have to reboot the computer once or twice to get it to post? also... with this...

    Trying to get optical out 5.1 to HT

    K, been trying to figure out why my P5K-E won't output to the optical output. I may have a hardware issue... but in looking for answers, I'm running into piles of threads that say I'm not going to get what I want. What I want...my computer audio to pump to my HT. I want games coming...

    G-Skill appropriate for p5k-e and q6600?

    The G-Skill 4gb kit ddr2 1000 gets mentioned here a lot. Is it a good choice for an asus p5k-e mobo with a q6600 proc? I'm going to oc the box to 3.0 hopefully... and want to be sure I pick appropriate memory. I've got the rest of my box ordered, and aside from picking a fan for my...

    why not an Asus P5K-E

    I've been reading and searching the threads, trying to discern the general feeling about the P5K-E (non-wifi) board. I would want to try to overclock a q6600 on it to the 3.0 range using just air cooling (thermalright ultra ex/w fan). I'm going to have a raid 1, 2 drive array on it, as...
