A couple of days ago I upgraded my main rig from an Intel i7-4790K that I had been using for more than five years to a new AMD Ryzen 7 3800X because Adobe (for its Premiere Pro software) is now requiring a newer-generation CPU (no more than three years old) just to run properly. Old rig: Intel...

Up for sale is my Intel i7-2600K CPU. It has been used for two years in my main rig, and it has been overclocked to 4.4GHz for most of this time. It is in excellent working condition. I will include the original box and the original stock cooler (which has never been used at all). Asking $180...

Now that I now have an i7-3770K CPU in addition to an i7-2600K CPU and an i5-2400 CPU, I am thinking of selling either the i7-2600K or the i5-2400. However, I do a lot of video editing on one machine, and some lighter-duty video editing on the other machine (both systems with Nvidia GeForce 500...

The problem started this evening when I reset the CMOS to defaults. Afterwards, the computer fails to get past the BIOS splash screen, and none of the keys on the keyboard would even work except for the Caps Lock. I heard the POST beep, but the screen remained frozen at the BIOS splash screen. I...

Up for sale is my eVGA GeForce GTX 560 card with 1GB of GDDR5 RAM. I am selling this card because I have recently downgraded my auxiliary home rig to use only an in-CPU graphics processor (it has been seeing less use these days). The card is in excellent condition. Asking $95 shipped within the...

...which was originally to be sold to a relative of one of the partners of a business downstairs from my home into my auxiliary video editing PC is almost complete. This is because I'm now keeping that system due to the would-be-buyer running out of money. Here are the answers to the...

I decided to start a new thread on this update rather than adding on to a dormant thread. Remember the business build that I worked on over the past three months or so? Need further input on a business system I decided to make a few final tweaks before I hand it over to the people who...

Now it's time to re-think my main rig. Since my current i7-950 rig is having some thermal issues at even moderate overclocks. I've decided to sell the core components of that system (details will be posted in a separate thread in the FS forum), and (out of impulse) picked up an Asus P8P67 PRO...

Now that I have completed the business system build, I am turning my attention to my auxiliary i7-920 system. I will be using this system for editing in another room in the house, especially when my main rig is busy encoding other videos or recording TV shows as a DVR. I already have most of...

I am building a fourth system - this time for a business that I'm renting to someone else. That person will be operating a pizza delivery/carry-out place. I am all set with most of the parts. It's just a few that I have trouble deciding between. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming...

My friend is in need of a new PC. Her current PC - a 3.0GHz Pentium 4 with AGP graphics and 3GB of DDR400 RAM - is starting to feel sluggish. And I tried to install Windows 7 on that PC, only to lock up or crash every time (this means that the system does not support Windows 7 at all - likely...

I decided to start a new thread about the different WD HDDs rather than add to a thread that has been dormant for two weeks: Actually, with WD you'll never know which design you're going to get (for the most part). This is because I have read reports that some people who very recently bought...

I originally posted what to get or mix/match to which system in the thread linked below: Tertiary System Build Thread Well now, even after I gave back 2GB of memory to my brother who needed the memory for another system, I put back into that system a 2GB DDR2-800 kit that I had as spares...

I am planning to rebuild my tertiary system. I am typing this from my secondary system which still has a Socket 478 Pentium 4 2.80C processor with an AGP GeForce 6800GT card and 2GB of DDR400 (DDR1-400) memory. But those parts will be replaced with a Core 2 Quad Q9450 with 4GB of DDR2-800 memory...

I am tempted to get myself an 8800GT for my current main rig (which for now still has a 7800GT). I will be planning to play a few of the newer games, such as Crysis, in the near future. I have been falling off the gaming bandwagon, using my main rig almost exclusively for web surfing and video...

Right now, my current rig is in the sig. I went out and got myself an Antec Super Lanboy case today. I will also get myself a TruePower 2.0 430 PSU. The question is, I am considering building another rig - most likely to replace my very noisy "guest" rig. So, I will ask two questions...

Since I got my Intel setup for my current main rig (in the sig below), it never ran 100 percent stable. It would sometimes lock up or crash on programs. But I never bothered running Memtest-86 until today. Several tests using Memtest-86 v3.2 indicated well over 100 errors - specifically...

Remember the paragraph that I made as part of my post in the "Your Favorite Motherboard?" thread in the Motherboards forum? That's right. I will build that rig in a couple of months. It will be in a new, smaller case such as an Antec Sonata. As soon as I get some more cashflow, it will...

I've read an e-mail from Creative Labs technical support that the Audigy2 (plain) and the Audigy2 Platinum both resample audio to 32-bit quantization rate and 48kHz sampling rate (read: 32/48). The Audigy2 Platinum eX and the Audigy2 ZS series don't resample audio (as long as no effects...

I have an Abit NF7-S V2.0 motherboard. But I don't have any Serial ATA devices at all - at least not yet. So, if I have only Parallel ATA (IDE) devices, should I disable the Serial ATA controller and connect all of my devices to the regular IDE ports? Or should I use the Serillel2 adapter on my...
