I need some information please..... I have 2 pc's on each side of my desk. PC 1 and PC 2.One is my mini server, but I do some gaming on PC1. I am using a GTX 660 SC on PC1, and PC2 is using a GTX 770. PC2 is strictly a gaming pc. I plan on getting a Asus VG248QE 144hz monitor. Can I hook up...

I have been running this pc 24/7 for 9 months.To my surprise,my GA-MA790GPT-UD3H bios was auto controlling my cpu voltage.The bios was reading 1.46v,at stock speed-3.2Ghz.I Was pissed off,when I found out,this is on the high end of AMD's recommended max voltage.I have been experimenting with...

I paid 160.00 10 months ago for a 955.The 955 and 965 are the same price on NewEgg @140.00 dollars..The difference between C2 & C3 in these chips are the model numbers GM and GI.The GM version have the C3. I have the cpu voltage down to 1.33v @3.6GHz,and it runs cool.I wonder How you determine...

This version does have the C3 stepping.The Motherboard was just supplying unnecessary voltage using the auto feature in the bios. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808 Had trouble linking my image.This should work! http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/1377/newlv.jpg

I lowered my cpu voltage to 1.33v and upped the multiplier x18. Idle 29C / load 40C @3.6GHz.I'm sure I could lower,but I'm really pleased with these results.I love these BE cpu's.I only had to mess around with the multiplier,and cpu voltage.I had to set my speed and timings @1600Mhz for ram,but...

The cpu voltage was set on auto in the bios.I always had the voltage set on auto in the bios,so it was getting 1.4v at the lower clock speeds.It wont anymore:) I went in the bios and dropped the voltage down by .025V,which lowered my cpu volts to 1.37v in my bios..CPUID reports 1.36v.I like...

I built this system last year.On stock speeds it idled at 30C / LOAD 42C.I wanted to do a small overclock,so I decided to just raise the multiplier in the bios.The only other settings I changed manually was my ram speed and timings.I raised the multiplier to 17.5, so the overclock is 3.5GHz.I...

I have 750 gig drive that is partitioned into 2 drives.35gigs and the remainder on the other partition.I wanted my os files on a separate drive.My 2 drives are c and d.I wanted my os files separate for faster speed using utilities ,and other reasons. I installed utorrent on the d drive(which...

I have 3 hard drives.(2) 750 gigs,and (1) 320 gig drive.I use the 750 gig as my primary drive for my os.I am using XP Pro service pack 3.I partitioned this drive,and made (2) partitions.One being 35 gigs for my main os,and have the remaining 660 gigs on the other partition for movies.I use my...

I ordered this 5.1 surround system for pc gaming,movies ect... http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16836121006 I've heard that having a sound card can improve frame rates from taking the sound rendering off the mother board so I decided to try it out less expensive card...

Another thing I forgot to mention is the length of the GTS 250.I stand corrected.It is 9 inches.A 260 would fit in the 900,but it would be tight.The Antec 900 is a gaming case,so I wish they put more thought for video card clearance.This was a big oversight on my part when buying this...

Hey Danny! Its all good.We seem to have a difference of opinion,but I agree that the 902 & 1200 are overpriced.You had some good suggestions for parts on his gaming build,but not case:)Maybe are discussion has helped in is decision.You taking your position,I'll take mine.

I forgot to add,since all the fans are so cheap in this case you will need to replace all of the 3 fans,then you can spend more money on additional fans.I dont hear Antec setting up a support line for fan issues. The Tricool fans are not top of the line,but they seem to have less problems from...

I only went through the first 50 reviews on this case. 50 out of 1800.I think you can get a good indication to stay away from this case. this is what alot of customers think.CHEAP!I Secondly,It only comes with 3 120mm fans.Antec has 3 120mms & 200mm tricool preinstalled.So if you need more...

I agree.Cases are personal preference,but in your comparison,the person that did wire management in the 902 sure didn't make an effort to hide wires.In fact, he made no effort at all!The 250/260 are 10.5 inches long in length.I did have to take out the 120 internal fan for the video card to...

I think the cooling capabilities should be the first concern,along with looks.Room is not a factor with this case.I don't see the problem with cable management,as long as you take your time.70 dollars will not buy quality,unless you can find a deal,its possible:)You can get a 900 for that price...

The Antec 1200 is a great case.Dont let anyone tell you different.I own an Antec 900,and love this case.The biggest problem with the 900,although 70-80 dollars cheaper vs 1200,is cable management,roomer,painted on the inside ect...I used a hole saw on the 900,and easily fixed that problem.The...

I have 2 fans on my HS for push and pull.I am using a Hyper 212 plus.I have all the fans set to medium,except for the heat sinks fans,and rear 120 exhaust.HS fans are at 2000 rpms each,both on high.Rear the same.My idle temps are 25 to 29 degrees celsius. Interesting thoughts on covering the...

This One? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1032119&SRCCODE=LINKSHARE&cm_mmc_o=-ddCjC1bELltzywCjC-d2CjCdwwp&AffiliateID=rGMTN56tf_w-TO2Q_2WUaIm0lG1zNhcjTw

I took this pic about 2 months ago.I have done alot of wire management since that point,and upgraded my monitor.My GF has my digital camera atm,so I cant take the shots I want.You get the idea.2 120mms in the front,2 fans on the HS,and no fan on the side.The top and the rear are exhaust,so no...

I found my answer after searching for many solutions.This should keep the dust out for the most part.At 8 dollars a pop it not really the cheapest,but I love the ease of installation.Hopefully this will make cleaning easier,and less frequent...

I just built a pc about 2 months ago with an Antec 900.I love this case.I modded the the case before my build,so I could route all the wiring behind the board.This is a must using this case for wire management.I am using all the standard fans set at medium,except for the rear exhaust,on high.I...

I like your train of thought here.That would be sweet.I want to upgrade,but the ultimate question is HEAT!! .We all want to avoid that ,if possible.It seems people look at performance,and FPS first,heat second.I have great airflow,and my chip and board stay chilly,but I will not sacrifice...

You gotta call it like you see it! I just cant see putting a expensive toaster in your pc.I'm not a fan boy of either vender,but I am a fan of saving money,and getting the most out of my $.I already made my choice.The question is were can I find the best deal on ATI cards.

My first card I ever bought is a GTS250.I got it for 130.00 in March.I was hoping with Nvidia's new line up prices would drop,and pick up a 275 or 280I got this card because I play alot of older games,and will have less driver issues.I can play newer games on moderate settings.I'm no expert as...

Thank-You for the good advice.I Think I'll grab that Samsung 24" monitor.I can run 80% of the games at high settings,and the other 20% I can adjust settings to play...Crysis,Far Cry 2 ect...I'll upgrade my video card when I can afford it.I got a good deal on Newegg when I bought the card in...

Maybe they should just stick to building motherboards:pI agree.I'll pass on this one

That's a sweet deal,but as far as my current video card I question if I could run games at 1920 x 1080 on higher settings.On the other hand,I found a good article on getting the most out of your video card. Increase resolution before anti-aliasing is what I found to be interesting...

I have a cheap ws Dell IN191ON 19inch atm.The resolution is 1366 x768.It seems to run games ok,but I need something better.I loaded crysis,and used the games recomended settings.It set everything to high. It's running all the games that I like playing in high settings. (AAx2/4) These would...

Sorry I guess I missed that section skimming quickly.I also figured someone else that had a GTS 250 could give me advice.I googled it,and didn't come up with anything.

What part of "next year" did you not understand!

I just built a new pc ,and need a good gaming monitor. I 'm using the GTS 250 for now,but will upgrade to DX11 by next year.I want to play Crysis at least on medium. I'm not opposed to a 22" inch if the 24 " will suffer in game play,based on resolution.I do want a response time of 2ms regardless...

I have( 2) 750 gig WD hhd's.I was thinking that this is my bottleneck.There is a program called Virtual Hard Drive.Its supposed to run 340 times faster than running off your hdd.This has to be great for gaming and fps rates.Does anyone have knowledge of running these virtual drives?

I guess I could of bought a faster drive,but I heard good things about the WD black. I should have studied harder when it came to buying HHD's. As far as the NIC card, I figured having a separate card might help keep the board cooler.I download alot,and will be gaming inbetween. I Should have...

You have the fat patch,smoke patch,health patch....Why can't they market a patch that has the right amount of thermal past,that you just stick on your chip.Wouldn't that make pc building more of a pleasure:D

The build was 900 dollars.Not bad.Plenty of speed and ram for my purpose.I don't want to spend 2-4 hundred on a video card.I think I get plenty of performance for $134 VC.Max settings are not a priority:p I went with this video card because I play old and new games,and didn't need driver...

Sorry Try now!

Hi- My first Build and it F-NG posted.Excuse the french fellow pc dudes,but what a great feeling:)It took 5 hours,but I had some issues,and I still have some questions.The first issue I had was installing the Coolermaster Hyper 212 plus.Installation was easy,but applying Artic Siver was...

Thanks for the link,and the help from both of you guys.I was getting ready to build tonight,but had to pre- drill some holes for better cable management,and put in some rubber grommets around the holes.I read the motherboard manual a couple times,and it seems straight forward.I guess I'll do my...
