Preliminary setup. Have a cabinet I think I am going to move my networking stuff. You can't realy see my Seagate Central NAS or gigabit switch with my chromebox hacked with Windows 10 preview that I can remote into. Doesn't seem to have video acceleration though. Was going to use the Chromebox...

the 5770 is the card that is supposed to replace the 4770. the only thing that i didn't like about the review of the 5670 was that it seemed to get hot. hopefully they get that fixed because i think if they can it will be the perfect htpc card. you have to realize what the 5670 is all...

first review looks like a pretty kick butt low end gaming card. http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?cid=3&id=3109

I am really interested to see further reviews on this chip. Well any of the X4 Athlon II's. I have seen a couple different ones. In overclocking it seems that people are finding these chips to oc on air a lot better than the Phenom II's and they think that the L3 cache may hurt oc ability and...

as far as gaming goes the phenom II has always competed well. another gaming phenom II versus i7 comparison from a little while back. http://www.pureoverclock.com/review.php?id=794&page=13 overclocking comparison http://www.pureoverclock.com/review.php?id=809&page=12 these articles focus...

after reading a couple of reviews online it sounds like the P55 doesn't support 2 gpu's in crossfire or sli at 16x only at 8x if two are used. Is that true? that would kind of suck. anyone know for sure?

yeah i have a friend that has a asus netbook with a nvidia 9300 in it and it can play full 1080p video if you use the right setup. mainly the 64bit version of mediaplayer classic with the right codecs that let you offload the video to the gpu. i have tech friends that used macbooks but now use...

there really is no reason for more powerful cpu's in notebooks unless you are using gpu's that need the extra cpu power. and considering netbooks are taking over that atom is where intel is raking in the money. i don't think we will see a lot of i5's in notebooks. if anything it will probably be...

well whats the point in a notebook? intel can make more money more than likely selling older tech and at the same time making the fab on the older stuff smaller and decreasing heat and power power. just as amd will be able to move to smaller fab on phenom II's if they wish to make them more...

yeah but amd is working on tdp. there is already a 125W version of the most powerful amd quad, and they are starting to release 95W versions of some of the other higher end quads. Sure the intel processors are better for different things but for gaming i7 hasn't been as good as people where...

googling intels roadmap makes it appear that intel will be going to 32nm but it appears that its only going to 32nm for dual cores and it looks to stay that way a while based on the roadmaps I saw. so it looks like AMD should be able to stay competitive especially considering the quads from amd...

sure the i7 is faster at encoding and re-encoding. I wouldn't say it trounces the Phenom II though. Also most core i7 benchmarks are done using a triple channel setup making price go up a decent amount. Thats why I think the Phenom II will do very well against the core i5, the core i5 will use...

i put this link up earlier but no one seemed to pay attention. core i7 against the Phenom II line is very comparable for gaming. And lets be honest most people buying desktop processors are going to be using them for gaming or a media pc. If they need something on more of a professional level...

i think this article is pretty good. http://www.pureoverclock.com/review.php?id=794&page=13 i think if you gaming is what you are concerned with the phenom II processors are pretty great. if you are concerned with other things then i think its a different story, the i5's will be great. but to be...

i get tired of generic corsair are the best statements. BFG comes to mind because they have had to discontinue some great reviewed units because of lack of sales because so many people just say get a Corsair. There are a lot of great psu's out there besides Corsairs. http://www.jonnyguru.com...

Nzxt is releasing an upgrade to the Beta already, this one is called the Beta Evo. They moved the psu to the bottom of the case. They also seemed to design the places for cable management better as well. The really interesting this is it looks like they added two places at the top of the case...

for windows 7 drivers also check out the creative forums. daniel_k is doing a lot of updates for different things again for creative drivers, though he no longer is hacking them to my knowledge. it took my a couple tries with different drivers from the forums for my audigy 2zs but finally got it...

people have said its different depending on where you live. its over $20 for me. newegg doesn't really have me spoiled because i hardly ever get things like free shipping from them because what I want never has free shipping when I go to get it. And their case shipping is usually fairly expensive.

yeah i knew about that site but if you actually add it to your cart it shows out of stock. it also would cost over $20 even with the cheapest shipping to have one shipped to me if it was in stock.

yeah i am looking for more affordable than that. if i was going to spend that much i would probably just buy a SILVERSTONE TJ08 which seems to be identical to the elite 340 except the exterior appearence, but it msrp's for $99 on newegg...

hi, i am looking to build a new gaming pc but want to do it as a matx system that could later be used as an htpc or media server etc. i am mainly looking to find the right case. i saw the mods done on the coolermaster elite 340 on this site and that looked awesome. but that case is...

sorry to revive an old thread but I just found a new motherboard that has the SB710 southbridge. Its on newegg. does the SB710 support the overclocking of the phenoms like the SB750 does? anyone know that? here is the link. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813186166...

well i believe the SB750 offers way better overclocking support for phenoms. which is one of the main reasons to buy a 790GX based board. The dfi matx 790GX based board offers crossfire its been on newegg for some time now. and rest of the 780G and 790GX based boards all ofer hybrid crossfire I...

I stumbled across a list on gigabyte's site that mentions a matx 780G motherboard that also use the SB750 southbridge. I thought this might be of use for anyone that liked the biostar 790GX matx board that never seems to be coming out. So if you can take a slight graphics hit between the 790GX...

so do you think they will get the matx model or did you just not want to wait any longer or what? i like the biostar because it has the benefits of the SB750 with overclocking etc for phenoms and what not but it only has a single pci-e 2.0 16x slot, which is all i will ever use, plus it has...

any more info on this board coming out? i had hoped for a long time this board would get released.

i emailed biostar about this matx motherboard and they are unsure if they are going to carry it. which kind of sucks because it seems like a unique matx 790GX based motherboard. i decided i would start a petition. doubt it will work. but who knows. also put in a request at newegg through the...
