I will placing this order soon and just want to run it passed people more in the know than I. This is my first attempt at water cooling. (Boy do I need it, my CPU is idling at 60C with a current room temp of 33C. Would hate to starting gaming right now!) I have read the FAQ, and a lot of other...

Concerning the system in my sig. I have had this chip OC'd for months with no issues. Yesterday I had to reboot and during the post I noticed after the "Verifying DMI pool.." it popped up a "MBR error 3" notice but booted into W7 just fine. It skipped the Acronis true Image recover tool option...

So I finally got to install my H50 today now that I have my new mobo. (Gigabyte EP45-DS4P Got it for $139.99 Can. on sale.) Unfortunately after going from the dead silent Noctua NH-U12P SE2, the H50 pump has this very noticeable vibration or rattle. If I unplug the pump, it goes away. The fan...

I have to say I am rather stumped as to what is going on. A little history. I have used the same disk to install W7RC for months on several different HDDs. I am usually well into the install routine within 1.5 - 2 minutes after booting up the PC. Since I added this Intel 80GB SSD, it...

Any ideas why tessellation, though enabled, is not working in the heaven benchmark? I have the 9.12 hotfix drivers. I've reinstalled them, yet no change. It worked fine before so I am not sure what is wrong...

So my mobo (See sig.) accepts both versions. Though I have had issues with the one and only set of DDR3 I tried on it. In a separate discussion here, though off topic to the thread, (Thus my posting this.) I have been discussing Fallout 3's FPS drops during exterior to exterior cell loads. My...

So I finally decided to swap out my hardware from my Antec 900 to my 800D. Over all I'm happy, but I added one of the Antec 900's 120mm fans to the top rear fan slot on the 800D. I covered the other two slots with an envelope to prevent them being the intakes they currently are. (Making the...

I feel a little silly asking this but I'm puzzled. When I game, or run a GPU stress test/benchmark MSI Afterburner says my 5870 never goes over 70% usage. Crysis doesn't use it all up either. The temp is pretty steady at 60C or less while the fan spins at 27-30%. I can push it to 99% using...

Hello all. I am looking to upgrade my system, but am limited by funds. By this I mean I can only buy 1-2 parts per month, (Cost depending.) not that I want lower-mid end/priced parts. My current system is in my sig. I was going to move to an I7 build, but decided it can wait for a bit seeing...

Hello everyone. :) I have played with my FSB in a very mild manner in the past with varying chips but never went as far as to get a 3rd party cooler, or up the voltages at all. I managed to get a great deal on a Q9550, (C1 revision unfortunately.) and replaced my E6850. I noticed the 9550 runs...
