I think one of the cores on my 4670k might be bad. I don't know if that's even possible -- it seems like a cpu would either work or not -- but this is why I think it might be the case. So, I bought a Haswell + new motherboard and installed it, everything seemed to work fine. Before...

Is it something like the fsb? My i5 4670's Vring is 3400, same as the default cpu speed. Should I bump it up to match the cpu overclock?

Figured some might be interested in a brief review of this card since it has a custom cooling solution that is supposed to be better than the stock cooler. http://us.msi.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=N275GTX_Twin_Frozr_OC&class=vga (nice Engrish on this page ;) ) Got the card yesterday. The...

Bizarre problem with my display. Just installed a new video card yesterday (GTX 275, upgraded from 8800GTS) and everything worked perfectly. Gamed on it for several hours, no problems at all. Go to turn on the computer today, and the primary display (Dell 2707) comes up in VGA resolution...

http://www.iberia.com/us/?language=en has some ridiculous rates to fly to Europe right now. Flights from NY - Spain for under $250 round trip. You have to mess with the dates quite a bit to find the best deals but it is absolutely worth it. Currently debating Chicago - Amsterdam round trip at...

Selling an e4300 (along with the stock intel hsf for a q6600, which I assume is more or less the same as the e4300's fan). I ran it for over a year @ 3.1 (w/ Tuniq Tower) and it was rock solid. Never tried higher but it may have more headroom. Temps were 37 at idle, mid 40s under load. $45...

Installed a Q6600 a couple weeks ago, wasn't a great overclocker but got it from its default of 2.66 ghz to 2.9. Fine. So then I upgraded my video card and power supply today (Radeon 4870, Corsair HX620). Now my cpu auto-detects at 2.4 ghz and refuses to run at any other speed. Also, the...

I bought a Corsair HX620 about 18 months ago as a replacement for my Antec 430 which I didn't think would power my new 8800 GTS. When I got the power supply and installed it, it didn't work. Not wanting to screw around with it, I tried out the Antec and it worked fine with the 8800, and the...

Looking for 6x or better optical zoom, image stabilization, 6+ mp. Will spend up to $200. Let me know what you've got and what you're asking. Thanks!

Somehow my installation of UT2k4 got borked and says my serial number is invalid and I need to reinstall. Unfortunately, I bought this back before I had a DVD drive and so have the ridiculous 6 or 7 CD version, and I really, really don't want to waste an hour installing that plus redownloading...

Is this normal? eVGA card that I just got this week, the nvidia control panel says it idles at 77 with the side panel on, 75 with it off. I have a side port with a 120 mm fan blowing right onto the card (low fan speed though, non-adjustable) ... should I buy a higher performance fan. or do I...

I am confounded here. I have an e4300 with a P965-DS3 motherboard, 8800 GTS 320, 2 gb PC6400 ram. When I run the CPU at default clocks of 1.8, I get around 9000 something in 3dMark06. When I clock up to 3.1 ghz (345 fsb with 2.0 multiplier), I get scores about half that. I have all...

I have the 5.1 surround sound Turtle Beach AK-R8 headphones that connect via the USB port. I can not set 5.1 sound in the Q4 mp demo -- it always reverts to No for Surround Sound. Every other game recognizes my headphones -- anyone know how to force surround in Quake 4? Also, the sounds in...

Forums ate my old thread -- anyone who PMd me, please PM again. Sapphire X1800XT 256mb. Runs every game at very playable framerates at 1680x1050. I purchased it one year ago and it has seen light to medium usage with no overclocking. This will be the bare card and I will throw in your choice...

Anyone experienced this? Everytime I restart my computer, my gamma/contrast/brightness settings are all shot. I'm using Samsung's MagicTune utility to tune it, and it has a setting to load in the taskbar which should make it load up each time Windows starts ... but each time I restart, my...

Anyone have a list of games that support dual monitors?

I have an Antec TPII 430, which according to http://www.silentpcreview.com/article289-page2.html has 34 amps over 2 12v rails. Will that be enough for an 8800 GTS 640 mb? If not, what is the best video card I could reasonably expect to run? The rest of my specs: e4300 @ 3.1 ghz at stock...

Since I refomatted, Winamp does not work as the default media player. If I have .mp3 files registered to open with WinAmp, double clicking the mp3s (or any other media file) gives me the message that blahblah.mp3 is not a valid Win32 application. If I drag the files manually to the WinAmp...

Doing an upgrade on my CPU, from an Athlon XP 3500+ with a mild overclock to an e4300 that I hope to get to ~3 ghz. My current video card is an x1800xt 256 mb. Since my CRT can't do 85 hz above 1280x960, I tend to game at that resolution, with most of the eye candy turned on. At that...

How would I back up the saved login/passwords that Firefox has stored for various sites? Ditto for the cookies. Many thanks in advance! :)

I'm doing a fairly major upgrade (cpu, ram, motherboard, hard drive) and obviously doing a fresh XP install is the plan. I have a service pack 0 version of XP Home but am planning on creating a slipstream install cd. I've heard that the XP cd won't recognize SATA drives, and I don't have a...

I'm sure this has been asked and answered before, but a quick search didn't turn up the answer. I want to buy a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 board for overclocking an e4300, but there are three choices on Newegg's site...

I know that XP Home doesn't support dual (physical) CPUs, and I was 99% sure that it *did* support dual-core CPUs ala the C2D ... but a recent post on another board that said differently, and no one immediately pointing out the mistake, has me concerned now on my planned purchase of an e4300...

My dilemma is that my dedicated hard drive for mp3's is only 6 gigs away from capacity, out of 55 gb formatted total ... let's call it my D: drive. I have a spare 40 gb hard drive I can install for more storage -- let's call it E: -- but I would like to keep my current mp3 drive organized so...

For sale is a virtually new lg vx9900. Only used to take a picture and make sure the camera worked. The outside plastic peel has been removed, but the inner one is still on. It will come in original box with manuals and the charger. Note that this phone is still locked to Verizon. I'll try...

I'm looking to buy a Dell Axim x51v. Will also consider an x50v. Accessories that I would be interested in would be extra batteries, hard carrying case, flash storage 1 gb or greater. Payment will be via CC Paypal and shipping to 68131. I'm sure some of you have these collecting dust in a...

Looking to buy a PSP. Must have no dead pixels. Optionally, looking for a memory stick of 1 gb+ and Lumines to go with it. I would be paying with CC Paypal, so keep that in mind w/ regards to asking price or whatnot. Please PM or post here with your firmware version, any of the extras, and...

The side deal click through on Woot goes to this link: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/partners/microsite.asp?id=bS&SRCCODE=WOOT1211&CMP=SPC-WOOT That is far and away the best price I've seen on that monitor. Caveat is that it's Tigerdirect, who isn't known for prompt MIR turnaround...

http://pcgames.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/10042/ Looks pretty cool, might be a bit out of my price range though.

Does anyone know the name of that MMO baseball game that's in development, where you play a position on a team with other people and can improve your skills over time, etc? Can't remember at the moment and wanted to look up some info about it.

I really haven't paid attention to the emulator scene whatsoever, but with my TV out for the time being I'm curious if there's a good PS2 emulator, and whether games can be played directly from the disc. Thanks!

Few games lying around I'd like to sell. Age of Empires III. Got this free with a motherboard, opened and installed and realized I didn't like it. CD-ROM. $20 Vietcong 2. DVD. SOLD King Kong (PC). CD-ROM. $13 CrossRacing Championship 2005. CD-ROM. $13 American Conquest...

I can get a good deal on an x1800xt w/ 256 megs of ram. If I want to crossfire later, can I use the x1800 master card with this one, and the master card would just disable half of its ram or something? Thanks for any replies.

Is there any way to change your lvl 20 crafting speciality? Wanted to specialize in rogue runes, none of the descriptions were particularly descriptive, and someone in the chat channel steered me wrong. If I can't, I will be a sad panda indeed. Thanks.

How do I convince the Benirus guy to come back to the house and unlock that portal? He just says it's my problem since I bought the house. My disposition is maxed. Thanks in advance.

Anyone know what it is? Or is there somewhere I can go ingame and pay to get items charged? Very frustrating as a non magic using character to run out of charges ... I know frak-all about soul gems or whatever, I just want to pay however much to get the items charged back up or, failing that, a...

[edit] For TES: Oblivion, obviously. Spoilers to follow. You have been warned. I'm working on the mission where you go to the city of Chorrol to find a member who has disappeared. I tracked him to the jail where another prisoner told me "The White Lady" came to get him and an Argonian...
