will start to max out a q9300 setup? I really have no need to upgrade my pc, but my video card just died which was a 8800GTX.
Any ideas what single card will give me the best performance for games. (ati or nvidia...) Doesn't matter.
4gb DDR2 800
Win 7 64bit
Sata HDD
quad 9300
thanks
So, i have a I-INC 28 inch monitor. I guess its the same as Hanns. G 281 but with a different name.
I tried switching video cards thinking my 8800 GT was dying, but im currently on a 7600GT which still flickers @ native res.
If i lower the RES. lower than native the screen doesnt flicker...
So, i want to take a step into the next stage of PC audio. For years i been using those 5.1 setups made directly for computers off newegg.
What i need to know is: What do i need to run a setup like you guys? I want a 2.1 setup only.. no headphones '
So far i gathered:
A receiver
1 Sub...
So i was browsing the internet and all of sudden my monitor went black and i got the no signal message. I started to panic thinking my new LCD let loose. Anyway, i re-installed my OLD ati radeon (no extra psu connectors needed) video card and the computer booted up just fine.
My question...
Lian-Li Classic Series PC-A05B
So i can get this baby for $80 from two sites so far.
My questions:
1. Where can i buy a side door with a window or window/fan (i will not do any custom mods windows to this case)
2. Can this case be setup for good cooling since its so small and...
Not super fast, but right now my hard drive is my bottleneck. I currently have a:
Seagate ST3500641AS-RK Barracuda 7200.9 500GB SATA NCQ Internal Hard Drive

# 16 MB cache buffer; 7200 RPM for fast...
Where can i buy some? I just returned my 11 day old monitor for a exchange since a stuck red pixel has been getting on my nerves. Now that i got the new one i left the plastic protector on and the screen looks glossy. But its taped on and i want to leave it on as the screen looks like a mirror...

And any quad core intel.

MY HEAT!! http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=27904
How do you guys deal with this? Specifally, the guys with big monitors. My monitor is 28 inches and DVD's look perfect when small-medium but soon as i put them in full screen it turns abit grainy. Its like resizing a small picture to a big picture which is normal.
Im sure this is normal but...
My image quality isn't the best. Now this is my 1st LCD monitor so i wouldn't know best from good.

Edit: In general not gaming.
I have 2gb of Ram which is fine with XP, but on vista things juggle around slowly when theres alot going on.
Im not sure if its my CPU or RAM. I came from an e8400 @ 4ghz with no problems to a e2180@3ghz
Im not sure how VISTA task manager is used, but here is mine. It says i have 2mb free...

Why do you have a server?
Yes, i know this is [H] and i myself have a server, but wondering whats everyone reason.
Currently, mine only holds abunch of hard drives.
What would cause this? Its a 7600 GT btw :mad: Nothing special but now i only have a crappy x1550 radeon.
The 7600 GT works fine @ times, but randomly freezes up when it want to weather its in windows or a game.
Brought New OEM. I have 2 heatsinks. If you plan to run stock than i can ship you a cheap heatsink that i used. If you want my current aftermarket heatsink we can arrange for it.
I will not be shipping VIA usps as its only been problems. Fed ex or UPS only and i would like to keep it in the...

Help guys. I found a monitor for $250 that originally cost $449. Its a samsung 24 inch. Should i get it? The best buy guy said it comes with a warranty and yes they had one new in box but i had to run to the atm and by the time i got back it was gone! ]

I have a family member that has AT&T DSL which has a 2wire modem, but its also a router it seems as it has 4 wan ports on the back+ allows wireless laptops and desktop to connect for the internet.
Now all computers+laptops are connected with the internet through the 2wire. Is it possible to...
Well, i have a computer in the basement i keep on and it sits idle for days. After about the 3rd day the wireless connection just drops. Is this normal or is it a router or OS problem.
It uses Vista and the power feature is set to 100 % maximum for wireless network card so it doesn't turn...
Anyone running a system thats not prime/orthos stable, but works fine for everyday use like heavy gaming and other tasking functions. I have my cpu @ 4ghz @ 1.32v and its 100 % stable for the things i use my computer for. However, if i run prime95/orthos it fails without 1 minute. i know i could...
Anyone know how? I already disabled unneeded services and even turned off the themes and extra crap. In TF2 its laggy compared to XP even with lower settings. For example on vista i can look @ one part of a map on a game and get 30fps, but on xp i get 50-60+ at the same spot
All drivers are...
Is it possible to hook up a wireless router and still have the cable modem hooked up directly to the computer? I dont want my main computer getting its internet connection wireless because i just dont like that idea.The Family computer however gets it connection from my computer through wireless...
on vista that is. How do i auto connect to a peer to peer network on start up with vista. I dont use vista much, but i do have it installed on my computer. In xp everytime i start my computer connects to my other computer automatically. Theres only 2 computers in the house so theres no router...
If i was to erase the pencil mark would everything go back to normal or is the change permanent.
Sorry, for this stupid question, but i never done anything like this before.
My Vcore in windows is @ 1.312 and under load from orhos its 1.288
Now if i do the pencil mod i could lower my...
500x8= 4000mhz
or
445x9- 4000mhz
I been running stable @ 475x8 to get me 3.8 ghz. Now i want to push it to 4ghz but unsure which one to do. My ram is only 800mhz so i just been unlinking the ram from the cpu which keeps my ram @ 400mhz.
Right now im at 9x445 which is 4ghz but before...
Should i dump all the other Temp programs? (coretemp, etc)
Well, it seems there all useless right now since Realtemp shows everything correctly. I been worried ever since i got this cpu because my temps have been 60-70c for some odd reason under high load. I already re-set the heatsink many...
Now, do you only run 1 stress program at a time or can you run two at a time. Like prime95 and orthos at the same time.
For example i ran orthos by itself and it passes for a good amount of time.
If i run orthos and prime at the same time than orthos fails 10 seconds in.
Cpu temp...
If my mtoherboard doesnt have the latest bios it wont post. I dont have another 775 cpu and this bi**ch broke me. So, i cant return it once open. I can either wait or sale it.
I'll let it go cheaper than newegg if you anyone wants to buy it tonight. Well, im going to build it up.
Pray for me.
Well, i already have this puppy, but i was planning to put a e2160 on it or some 4mb cache c2d. when i ordered it.
Times have changed since i ordered the motherboard. Im going to save up for about 6-7 days and get a e8400 next week.
Does this motherboard overclock well :( ?
Thanks
Well, i was about to buy the e2160 since i just got my intel motherboard. I have enough for a cpu and some spare cash till payday. I just notice if i wait 4-5 days i could get a e8400. With that said. It seems cache helps in games and i dont want to be disappointed with a 1mb cache e2160 @...
For his main computer. You guys suck lol. Look @ me with my 17 inch CRT. Im not looking for an upgrade, but just wondering if im the only one still left in 1999...
As you know most cpu's can clock themselves down when there idle or dont have much load. i have this feature disabled because i use my computer for gaming. However, its on 24-7 and while im sleep i would like for it to clock down.
If i set it to "always on" in power options my CPU will not...
Ok, so i know the route im going. I made a thread in here recently, but it wasnt specific like this one will be. Im going to get a e2160 and overclock it to 3.0. From what i know i WILL NOT need a high end motherboard to achieve speeds because my FSB will not go over a crazy FSB like a high end...
a $100 E2160 will perform the same as a e6400 overclocked to 3.0 pretty much? So, why am i wasting my money on a $200 processor when a $100 can do the same when overclocked. Looking @ the reviews it seems the E2160 when overclocked to 2.4ghz performs pretty much the same e6600 @ 2.4ghz. Even...
