To run 5040x1050 on 3 monitors with SLI'd 460s, do you need cards with 2gigs of ram? Will 1 gig cards do the job? I haven't payed a lot of attention to triple monitor OR SLI stuff as it's never been anything I would want/need. I have a friend who is upgrading his system now for MS Flight Sim...

I'm helping a friend build a computer specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and he wants to use triple monitors horizontally with it.He has already purchased a 2500K SB and the build is going to be around that and his monitors. If there is a STRONG case for a different cpu, make the...

As often happens when Nvidia comes out with a new generation of video cards, I've been hearing the newest drivers have problems with older hardware (fan control for example). I was wondering which drivers to go to (currently 195.62s). I was also wondering if NVIDIA is EVER going to get "Do Not...

http://www.consumer.philips.com/c/power-solutions/resettable-10-outlets-spp7355wc_17/prd/us/ I assume it has some big flaw since it's like $25. Anyone who knows this stuff able to elucidate?

My monitor is 1900x1080 but I play a couple games at a lower resolution. In WinXP I set it to "Do not scale" and lived with the black bars. In Win7 64-bit I set it to "do not scale" and when I click yes it just goes back to "Use my display's built in scaling". I'm using the 195,62 drivers, it...

how much overclock? I'm sitting on 54C/53C running Prime95 right now at stock 3ghz. What's typically a good overclock with the stock cooler and what temps are OK at load? I've just upgraded from an e4400 to the e8400 and had to use the stock cooler for now. CPU: E8400 E0 stepping 1.25v stock...

My current system: [email protected] ip35pro 6 gigs DDR2 800 [email protected] 8800GT WD Caviar Black 1TB HD It does all I need it to do right now although I am seeing SOME need for improvement in SOME games and know I'll need more video/cpu horsepower soon. Options: 1) e8400 and...

I'm switching from my 8800GTS320 to an 8800GT (putting the old card in a different machine) and I'm currently running 169.09 drivers. Do I NEED to go to a newer driver for the 8800GT 512? What driver do you guys recommend? I generally only update video drivers when required by new games or hardware.

I haven't messed with TVout in years and wanted a few answers to specifically how it works through the Nvidia control panel. equipment: desktop computer: C2D, 8800GTS 320meg, 2 gigs ram, onboard sound, winXP HDTV: older Panasonic CRT monitor (ie no tuner and only takes 480 i/p and 1080i...

Have there been any problems with filling all 4 slots on this motherboard? I'm overclocking an E4400 to 3ghz and currently have 2x1gig ram sticks in dual-channel mode and I'd like to up it to 4 gigs.

Is there an overclocking database on these cards? I have a recently bought EVGA 8800GTS and was wondering what typical overclocks were. Currently the drivers I am using don't allow separate overclocking of the shaders so I'm doing core and ram only. I have the core up to 650 so far and it runs...

If I enable AHCI, windows will not boot. I haven't built a new system in a couple of years and am behind the times on stuff, is not having AHCI enabled hurting performance a lot? Is there a good article about AHCI you could link perhaps? The wiki article says on winXP I need to install...

I'm building the new system now and was wondering if there are any common show-stoppers I need to be aware of. Is there a general ip35pro thread?

Just ordered an IP35 pro, I already have the Antec 900 case. I also ordered an EVGA 8800GTS and there will be 2 Raptors and a seagate in there. I DO intend to overclock to whatever will be easily done with air-cooling. My cpu is still up in the air but it will be a C2D of some type (e4300 or...

Opinions? I'd like to overclock (on air) an e4300 for now and have the ability to go to Penryn at some point in the future, possibly a quad-core if these boards can handle it stably. Any minuses or pluses for either one to look out for? Got a board in the same price-range that would be even...

I've narrowed it down to these 3: GA-N650SLI-DS4 MSI P6N Platinum EVGA 650i Ultra I want to overclock but not to extremes, most likely a e4300 at around 3ghz and switching to a quad core later. I want to use a big cpu cooler like a Scythe Ninja or similar. I'd like to reuse several...

Any timeline on Penryn and chipsets/motherboards? Penryn will not work with anything current, correct?

Our house apparently puts out a ton of dust even with high dollar HEPA filters on the heatpump and plenty of vacuuming. I have to blow my case out at least once a week and I was wondering how much a thin-fin HSF like the Big Typhoon would be affected by dust buildup versus something like the...

I picked up one of these http://www.antec.com/specs/TPII550_spe.html back in June because I got a really good deal. I'm in the process of buying parts for a Conroe system and wanted to know if it was plenty of PSU for what I plan to build. core2duo E6400 (yes i will overclock) DDR2 (yet...

Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 nForce3 250Gb Socket 939 Motherboard your opinion? Thinking of getting one so that I can keep using my current video card for a while then eventually upgrade the video and motherboard to pci-express. I'm leery of the new DFI board (and DFI boards in general) since...

I'm building a new system to primarily play games and I know currently all the onboard sound is pretty crappy. I have 2 Santa Cruz cards laying around doing nothing. Would I be better off using the SC as far as sound quality and/or cpu usage? I'd like to keep it cheap or else I would buy one of...

Buying a holesaw bit and arbor is like $45-60 US and I personally don't know anyone with a holesaw that big. I guess I could Dremel it but I'd hate to screw up a Lian Li case.

Or is it frowned upon? I've seen questions get asked here on a busy day and they get buried 4 pages down in a couple hours. This means most people will never see it unless they dig through every forum.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824009039 Response time is listed as 8ms, based on specs it's a great LCD for the price ($239) Does anyone here have any knowledge to the contrary?

I'm building a new a64 system and will need a pci-e video card to replace my 9700pro in my current system. What would be the better choice? For around $180 at Newegg I can get either a 256meg x700pro http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=property&DEPA=1 or a 128meg 6600GT...

Are these things worth a crap? I have a friend with a Shuttle SS51G and he wants another one. The local stores have quit carrying them and have replaced it with the Biostar iDEQ200S. The Biostar uses a completely different cooling system for the cpu and he wants to know how they perform and if...

Preferably a Cascade of course, but will buy a LRW Whitewater or even a DTek Whitewater right now. (for AMD cpus).

http://www.emachineshop.com/index.html Thought it might be useful for people wanting something like custom watercooling parts made.

With search out of commission indefinitely it's hard to find all the answers I'm looking for so here we go. the system is currently: Asus A7N8X-D Corsair LL PC3200 getting an Athlon Mobile cpu to replace the XP I have now 9700pro Seagate SATA drive Sony DVD-/+R Case: not sure what case...

Does anyone make a 5.25 bay fan voltage controller where at least one of the controllers adjusts from 7-12 VDC? I'd like to use a controller on my cpu fan but I have kids playing on the thing from time to time and I'd rather they not be able to turn the cpu fan down to 0volts.
