Well I had a corsair hx520 for 3 years and it blew a month ago. I submitted for an rma on Feb 28th and got an approval on March 1st. I took a few days to send it and when I did, I chose the slowest option from Canada to California so it took 2 weeks to arrive - Corsair received it on the 17th of...

says so in the manual yet they provided 2 of them with the 5850 i bought? should i not be using them? my temp psu only has one 6 pin pci-e lead so i was going to use the provided adapter as a second pci-e connector until my new psu arrives (currently on rma with corsair)

I was running an intel p5kwdh i think running a mirror on the onboard intel raid controller, i'm upgrading my board to a p7p55d-e and looking to continue using my raid setup, do i have to set it up from scratch and lose my data again or can i just port it to the new board and have it work...

well i got my new asus p7p55d-e pro and core i5 750 today and i'm porting my existing watercooling setup to it, my storm block seems to get on there but it's tight, the mobo flexes a bit, is this bad news? Anyone else have to do this with their storm blocks? maybe i'm the only old schooler left...

I'm upgrading my 8800gts to a 5850 and was wondering if anyone knows if my mcw55 waterblock will fit on it? also, are these things still ok to have naked ramchips and stuff? I don't have any ramsinks on my 8800gts and it's fine. hopefully my storm waterblock fits on my core i5 setup too.

prices for the 5770 are about $150 here in canada so i can get 2 for about $300, one 5850 is about $300 as well, not sure which would perform better in most games and which would have better eyefinity performace...

I bought a swiftech storm back in the day ( i think it's the storm, the one right before the apogee came out i think). just wondering if i need a kit to make it fit on an i5 board or not. currently running it on a c2d 6550 and still runs great! I'd like to keep it when i upgrade...

thinking of upgrading from my c2d 6550 but have been outta the loop for a while. don't wanna spend a pile of $ but i'm open to suggestions. i live in canada and will likely be ordering from www.ncix.com. I have mostly been an asus guy but have owned an msi before but didn't like their...

ok so i got my new g92 8800gts in today and i put it in and play some games just to get a feel for it before i slap on the waterblock and bsod after a bit, probably overheated so i cranked up the leaf blower on it and it seems cooler but i want to put my block on it, problem is i don't have any...

does anyone know if they fit? i have it running on my 7800gt right now... i don't really want to upgrade my vga block if i don't have to...

at ncix, it's $319-$50 MIR. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=27246&vpn=88ZFF6HUFEXX&manufacture=Galaxy%20Technology&promoid=1006 might be able to call their american number and ask for the same base price as the rebate is good in the US too. I think the newegg deal for the BFG might...

will it fit on an 8800gt? i have it on a 7800gt right meow... what adapter would i need for a 3870?

so would i be able to run 2X3870 in a p5k? what about a 3870 and a 3870X2 which are supposed to come out soon? my board says it supports crossfire but i keep seeing it referred to as crossfirex lately... any difference?

I have an LG 204wt that was hooked up to my 7800gt and the DVI cable broke on one end. The flat pin (blade) broke off the cable and was stuck in my video card's dvi port. I pulled it out as soon as I noticed and then stopped using the cable but now it seems that the DVI connection to my monitor...

anyone know what the default voltage is for a p5k for the northbridge? what's the max recommended? I ran into a FSB wall with my 6550 at 510mhz so i'm going to see if adding some volts to the NB will help at all...

So i picked up a 6550 and i threw it in my p5k deluxe with OCZ 1066 ram and i have it at 3535mhz right now (7X505) at stock voltage. i've let it run orthos all day and it's rock solid (8.5hrs) but if i try to bump it up anymore, it seems that it won't post. anyone else have trouble getting far...

So I keep hearing from everyone that the storm isn't great for multicore processors and I recently upgraded to a C2D E4300. My temps aren't great (43c idle, 60c load) but if i upgrade blocks would i really see that much of a difference? It would need to be a full 8-15 degrees C to make it worth...

I just got my new p5k deluxe and I'm trying to set my drives up in a mirrored array on the intel ICH9 sata ports. When I go into setup to create the array it says the disk will be wiped, is it just referring to the mirror destination or both? I really don't want to lose all my data... Anyone...

how often do you guys flush/clean your WC system? and what do you use? I remember running radiator flush through my system once to see if i could clean up some of the gunk but i don't remember if it worked or not. I want to clean up some of my tubing and the insides of my rad. I have my...

so I recently upgraded my processor from a 3000+ to an e4300 and have enough parts for 2 loops in my watercooling except for the resevoir (don't have room for 2) would it be ok to run 2 loops off the same res using a Y? my loop currently goes res->pump->rad1->gpu->rad2->cpu-res. i'm...

So I have a storm on my a64 3000+ (939) and I'm going to be switching it to a C2D soon and can't seem to find the hardware or the instruction page for the lga 775 boards. Can anyone tell me if it the same hardware for both the lga775 and socket 939? If you could provide a picture to what...

so i'm upgrading from my 3000+ to an E4300 since my MSI board is dying. Looking at boards I was going to get the P5B deluxe but then I read that they have a crappy sound chip, can anyone recommend a board that is: 1) good for OCing 2) has a good sound card 3) doesn't kill the budget. Also...

I currently have an EVGA 7800gt CO PN # 256-P2N516-AX and I'm looking at buying a second 7800gt OC from someone on the forums here, it's PN is # 256-P2N515-AX. Will these 2 cards be ok for sli together? I'm pretty sure they will be but I have 0 experience with the sli. Thanks!

I've had a pile of random crashes lately all over the place but mostly when starting applications. also, my onboard sound sometimes stops detecting and other times works fine so i figured I had a psu problem. Installed core center and it's reporting 2.8-2.96 for the 3.3, 4.85-4.95 for the 5 and...

Ok so I have 2 250gb drives in a mirroring array and one of them got unplugged by accident (when the computer was off) and some stuff got changed before I realised it. Now I plugged the other drive back in but there's some differences between the two drives and the array reports as not healthy...

Got it with my 7800gt and never play it. I'd be willing to let it go for $25 OR trade for BF2. ebay: dick_sexsmith heatware: doublejesus I may be willing to ship first depending on your feedback... doubtful though.

I have an mcw 6002, mcw 50, laguna stat #3 pump and a relay switch for sale. the pump is great, never had any flow issues, you can see its performance here and here's it's flow rates etc... blocks are in good shape but they could use a lapping. I'll also include the adapter to go from...

(note to mods: I didn't know where to put this but I want a lot of people to see it to get as many opinions as possible) A friend of mine is looking to get high speed internet when he travels to the states in his camper. Does anyone know if you can get satelitte internet access all over the...

haha just kidding. But i hope it does half decently well. Link from front page here If they release cards that compete with the midrange ati/nvidia cards maybe they'll make some money and pour it back into r&d then hopefully one day we'll have 3 big guns vying for top gfx card and either...

ok so i was looking around at the show off your video card thread (in vc forum) and noticed that some people kept the ramsinks on their 6800gts and still used gpu waterblocks. my question is do they come off seperately for all cards? i have an evga 6800gt that I plan on watercooling as soon as i...

ok so a friend of mine wanted to get into wcing so i sold him my mcw6002, mcw50 and pump. I got the storm block, mcw55 and the mcp655. I have a BIX rev 2 (not the BIX 2) and a regular heatercore from an '87 tracker. I'm wodering if those 2 rads will slow down the flow too much and kill the...

could be a good deal depending on which motherboard you get with it... but they don't say. newegg I even tried adding the card to my cart and nothing was put in with it. do you get to pick your own? :confused:
