    why are my temps so low?

    That isnt to bad at all. With my water cooling it was sitting at 68 just before it shut down. I then discovered that half the water had drained onto the floor around the resevoir plug. Now it sits at 26 degrees. at 2.2ghz. A 3200+ so I am happy, course where it sits is rather cool as well.

    Any ideas guys?

    Cool, thats a good start. I'll look into them. I take it Image stability is a good feature? I dont think my current one has that as about 1/3 of my shots are blurry. Hmm the G2 is a little steep but I like the look of the A610 if that is a reasonable one. Any opinions on it?

    Death of the Space Combat Sim?

    Vega Strike was surprisingly awesome. I just wish there was an easier way to get WC3,4 and the one with the bugs to work in windows xp. Also, I agree about EA, after what they did to UO I hope they forget WC even exists.

    I'm told you can. I just had a stack of them in the office so it was easy to put one in. that and my power supply wouldnt fit properly without it.

    DFI Power connections help

    I found I did not need the floppy one but I connected it anyway. If you have a 20 pin but enough juice in the P/S you may get away with a 20-24 pin adapter. DO NOT PLUG THE 4 PIN CABLE INTO THE REMAINING 4 SLOTS!!! Unless you want to release the magic smoke at any rate. Personally I have...

    Odd Problems with a DFI SLI-D

    It already is, and there is nothing in the system logs. Thats why i couldnt get the stop code in time. Also, I finally got a response from DFI, looks like I have NFG boards in a row :(

    Odd Problems with a DFI SLI-D

    Ok, now here is a weird thing. If I use only sata ports 3 and 4 it seems to work, 1 and 2 cause it to hang and once it gave me a BSOD but it did it so fast I couldnt get the stop code. might have been 7C. But most of the time it just hangs and does nothing.

    DFI Lanparty vs. DFI Infinity

    If you read my post 3 posts down you will see my experience with it. It runs like a bat out of hell, but if I try to get a usb keyboard to work in the bios or get it to boot with more than one hard drive attached I might as well be running a calculator for all the booting it will do. To...

    Odd Problems with a DFI SLI-D

    I recently picked up an SLI-D board and the first one was DOA. Finally got it replaced and this new one posts nicely and runs well. Get 3331 on 3dmark06 compared to 146 on my laptop. However even though I turn USB keyboard support on it does not detect my logitech G15 until windows starts to...

    What will the teir-1 mobo market look like if ABIT dies?

    While it may be unrelated to the problem, at least in Alberta there are very few retailers that carry Abit boards. When I bought my a7n board a few years back I had to order one from Ontario in order to get it. When places only stock Asus boards and MSi boards because they think that Abit isnt...

    How does HL2 work with steam? Mods cost money?!

    Keep an eye out in FutureShop. I found the collectors edition for half the price of the regular version of the game. Only way I would buy it personally. Havent even been able to play it cause I havent had time to haul my computer into work to connect it to the intarweeb.

    Windows XP from Dell?

    The cd's themselves dont care. I work for Dell and to be honest I cant see any appreciable difference other than the actual key part appears to be slipstreamed. The rest is like any other OS install I've ever done.

    Windows XP from Dell?

    Technically Windows is not windoze no matter how cool it makes you feel. However why would they bother? Dell makes an agreement with MS to sell them with every home computer for a wicked price discoutn, why would they risk or cancel that agreement to make 1 person happy?

    What app would run every 10 mins by default?

    I would unistall and burn your computer with righteous fire to get the curse of real media from it forever. Holy water may work as well.

    From the friends i have know that got into that stuff, you have to be willing to play video games 8-12 hours a day and only that game. Say goodbye to fun and enjoyment.

    Just got cable and have a problem....

    Hit f8 while the computer is booting to go into safe mode. do safe mode with networking. think adaware will work in safe mode. also run a virus scan man. A fresh install may not be a bad ideaeither.
