I'm looking into making a PLP 20-30-20 monitor setup for my main work PC, and maybe the occasional windowed multi-monitor gaming. I was about to order some monitors when I realized that the aspect ratios don't match up, and so the actual display area width of the 20's won't match up with the...

My small 3x250GB array is way past running out of space, and I'm tired of backing up all my data to DVD, and I've been looking to buy new drives to create a new raid 5 array for a while. My controller is a Highpoint RocketRaid 4320, and the drive compatibility list is located here. Based...

mI'm currently running the rig in my sig, i7 920 @ 4200MHz 200MHzx21, CPU voltage set to 1.3563. I've been doing some stress testing, trying to find a sweet spot for my CPU and I've been using a bunch of different programs to monitor temperatures and voltages. At first I was just using Core...

I'm rebuilding my water cooling setup and cleaning everything out, and I was wondering if I should still use the D-Tek Fuzion Quad Core Nozzle accelerator insert in my D-Tek Fuzion v1? The old Core 2 Quad had two separate die's so I can see the benefit of the quad core insert to divert the...

I just ordered my i7 920 and I was planning on using my D-Tek Fusion V1 w/ Quad Core Nozzel kit to overclock as high as possible (with the 1366 kit adapter). Most benchmarks I see are for the V2 Fusion, will I be ok with a V1? Or should I start looking for a new water block? It's a 1 loops...

Referencing the model number in this article The model number for the 34nm X25-M Postville G2 drives is SSDSA2MH080G2C1. A lot of the online retailers plus local retailers are calling that a X25-M Mainstream drive. Such as Newegg.ca here. Others are selling the same model number as a 34nm...

So I've been running the following setup for almost two years: Q6600 @ 3.6GHz Asus Maximus Formula 8GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066Mhz XFX 5870 WD 150GB Raptor 1st Gen Watercooled, CPU only. The system does me alright, but I do want more, I've scored a good deal on parts so I'm...

I've been running the following over clock for a year and a half: Q6600 G0 @ 3.6 1.48V VID is 1.3125V Asus Maximus Formula Bios 1004 Sapphire HD3870X2 4x2gb Corsair Dominator @1066mhz 2.1v 5-5-5-15 150Gb Raptor And it has been running stable. About a month ago, games would lock up if I...

I've had my WC setup for about 6 months and I've undertaken flushing out the system. I noticed that there seemed to be what looked like algae at first in the system, kind of a greenish blue sediment throughout the tubes and reservoirs. Upon disassembling my water block it was apparent that this...

Here are the system specs: Q6600 G0 @ 3.6 1.48V Asus Maximus Formula Bios 1004 Sapphire HD3870X2 4x2gb Corsair Dominator @1066mhz 2.1v 5-5-5-15 74 & 150gb Raptor D-TEK Fuzion waterblock Swiftech MCR220 w/ 68cfm fans Swiftech MCP350 (System pic below) So I've got everything set up...

I finally got my new system together (except for the ram which is on back order, so I've got some temporary ram in there now), and while it is faster than my old 1800xt it's not the huge improvement that I was hoping. Currently the system is: Q6600 Asus Maximus Formula Sapphire HD3870X2...

I just set up my new system, following specs: Intel Q6600 Asus Maximus Formula 2gb DDR2-667 (Temporary until the good stuff arrives) Sapphire HD3870 X2 WD Raptor 150gb Antec Quattro 1000w When I powered the system on I noticed a very noticeable high pitch noise coming from the power...

I was just about to purchase the components for my upgrade when I realized that the Antec Quattro 1000/850w power supply definitely won't fit in my current case (which I do not want to replace). The dimensions of the PS currently installed are 16cm(L)x15cm(W)x8.6cm(H), and that doesn't leave a...

I'm finally getting around to upgrading my AMD Athlon X2 4400 & ATI x1800XT setup for a new gaming rig, and I've been looking at review after review and benchmark after benchmark and I am now overloaded with numbers. I plan on upgrading to a Q6600 and over clocking it, and I was looking into...

I got my new 150G Raptor and replaced my 74G Raptor. Both of these running on my Adaptec 1420SA. While my 74G Raptor had no problem on the controller, the new 150G seems to freeze the controller on post when its detecting the drives connected. Plugging the 150G into the onboard controller...

I just built a new system and I've been testing out my Raid 1 array. I'm running an Adaptec 1420SA controller and two WD2500SD. I have been running tests to determine which driver combination performed the best. The Sequential Read graph used to be consistant. Now after cleaning...

I just purchased a new laptop Toshiba M30 / Centrino 1.5GHz. After going through 2 laptops with burnt pixels out of the box, I finally got one with a screen that works well. I did however notice that this laptop is running warmer than the first, which *may* be because I didn't get to use the...
