I have an boost edition MSI Radeon 7970 (R7970 TF 3GD5/OC BE) and this thing sounds like I have a bunch of crickets in my computer. Not to mention it runs really hot, like close to 80C on load in very intense games, which is a huge jump from the idle of 32-34C.
Is the coil whine an issue that...
For those interested and are lucky to find them, Best Buy has the XFX Ultra OC editions of the 7770 and 7850 on clearance for $83 and $107 respectively inside their stores.
They also have a 10% coupon on all clearance/open box items promotion going on for next 3 days (clear out stock of...
Not sure how hot this is, but there is an Amazon store that sells refurbished items direct from MSI.

I've purchased from there once (see signature) and they seem ok. They have some decent deals there...

I purchased this motherboard by taking advantage of the deal and a gift card to lower price, but somehow I missed in the reviews that it used a 4-pin power input. It's still not too late to refuse order, but would this be an...
I'm having an ongoing issue that infrequently pops up, but its annoying nonetheless. Often when playing some games, I have an issue where the screen just goes bonkers and it seems like one part of the screen in is going in an opposite direction to the other. There is somewhat of a shadow effect...
Anyone have these cards and experiencing high temps with stock cooler? My 4850 finally died and so while its in RMA, I picked this up, but it idles at primarily 48-52C and goes all way up to 78-82C, with spikes of 94C. Isn't this too hot for the card or is this normal? Dont think 4850 ever ran...

I took a chance on an openbox X1900GT @ Newegg when I saw it for $80. Received the card and so far it seems to be running fine with the exception that ATI Tool is reporting some artifacting. The temperatures on the GPU range from 55C @ Idle and 79C @ full burn, which from what I understand is...
Has anyone tried switching the processor in the e521s? I don't know how restrictive the dell bios on this machine is so I'm wondering if the computer will recognize it if I switch out the processor in the e521.
I recently just installed an inactive dvd-rw (IO-Magic IDVD16DL) into a new system I just setup and for some reason it isn't reading dvd's. The dvdrw detects fine and it can read any "CD" i put in there, but once I shove a dvd in there it just reads it as a blank 4gb cd (even asks me if I want...
Newegg has the HD515 for $55 and HD485 for $80. I've seen it said where the HD485 is better than the HD515, which is ok with me, but is it $25 or 50% better? Basically I'm looking for some info to push me in one direction as I have read data which leads me to believe they're both on even...

I noticed a lot of people with the a2zs say they don't have this capability, yet a 24/96 asio 2.0 driver is included with the a2 value. Was it included in a recent update or something?
http://www.excaliberpc.com/product_info.php?cPath=366_367&products_id=4452
It's a nice price and the 15 day thing doesn't worry me that much. My issue is that they state it has a 20-pin connector and no PFC support. I cant find any info on an enhance that has similar specs. That model number...
Is anyone familiar with this unit? I can't find information about this specific model on Enermax's website (only the 460w), but it is being sold by quite a few places and the reviews do seem very good. The price is $45.99 @ Directron (I'm aiming for something good under $50) and I really do need...
If anyone with a 9800 tries these, post gains in Facry and CSS if you can. I'm seeing upwards to 90% improvements in Farcry with AA/AF on. Haven't tested it with other settings since I'm too lazy to go into CP and change it (too much effort :p). Couple other games I play I'm seeing seriously...
Does anyone know if the the Iceberg 4 work with the newer revision 9800p 256mb boards? I've read where the newer boards (which I have) don't work well with the ati silencer 3s and was wondering if this issue also extends to the iceberg 4. Also has anyone rated the effectiveness of the iceberg 4...
My second rig refuses to post and I believe it might be the processor. I tested two different sticks of memory so I think I ruled that out. I doubt its the video card since that was working last time I used it and when I switched to the onboard video nothing still comes up on the screen...
Ok, I have an issue with the K8NS Pro and overclocking the HTT bus. I can't seem to get this thing over 250MHz HTT stable and its really hurting my cpu overclocking :p! So far I think I've ruled out the cpu as this happens at whichever multiplier I use (x7.5~9) and the memory is set to run at a...
I noticed someone posted about their having an agp non-pe x800 xt and it's true! Allstarshop is selling non-PE agp X800 XT's for about $560 (scary thing is they've had em in stock for a while now!). They're oem, but I guess people have to be careful buying their X800 XT's now as not all of the...
Haven't seen anyone comment about this new card yet. It's supposedly a cheaper and more gamer oriented version of the Revolution 7.1. I'm wondering if this will be a good upgrade for me since I've been thinking of ugprading my sound card recently. It's available on newegg right now for about...
