Hi, I want to replace my troublesome Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L due to ongoing northbridge issues. The rest of the hardware linked to it is a Q6600, a half-length 650Ti, and 2 x 2GB DDR 1066. HSF is a big honking Xigmatek SD1283. Bought all this stuff off from a seller that no longer carries...

So I have these: Q6600 G0 SLACR @ 2.4GHz GIGABYTE EP45-DS3L G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Model F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK SeaSonic M12II SS-500GM I used to run it at 3.0GHz or so, I think. During the last summer, it started crashing if I ran it above stock... no clue why, other than...

Hi all, So I have a system I built in 2009, and I'm getting tired of having to run new games @ 1280x800. My monitor does 1680x1050, so I'd like to be able to run games at that res without having to skimp on other graphic settings. I have: Core2Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz, 9800GTX+, 4GB DDR2, and...

Does anybody here have any experience with VGA convertors? I know of those blocky black ones with the DIP switches on ebay and the X2VGA2, and that's all.

Here's the deal, I'm getting $2,000 with which I'd like to get an awesome HDTV. No CRT, no projection, no burn-in. Main uses will be standard tv programming and high-def gaming. I'd like to mount it on the wall, so I'm thinking LCD is the only way to go. 42" and up would be rad; 47"...

That about sums it up. If I do so much as disable the fullscreen boot logo, save, and reboot....screen stays black, no beeps, blah. I have to clear the bios and never touch it to get anything on the screen / PC boot. This is really restricting my OC, seeing as I can't OC at all. Help?

My stupid antec PSU commited suicide AND killed its hostages: my motherboard and my CPU, though I wasn't able to test the CPU until newegg got me a replacement PSU and motherboard. I got them today, and the CPU isn't stable in ANYTHING for more than a few minutes, then the PC reboots. There's...

http://img133.exs.cx/img133/2571/dsc018422mu.jpg It's got three female standard molex plugs and a female floppy plug. So naturally it doesn't plug into a PSU in any fashion, as all plugs on a PSU are female too.

I was just listening to internet radio and looking at screenshots for some game last night when my PC lost power. That pc will no longer power on at all. Zip, zilch, zero. At first I thought the PSU had died, but it comes right on if I connect the green wire to ground. I hope it's not my...

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=11-196-006&depa=1 Aerocool Spiral Galaxies. Looks good, interesting...yet I've only found ONE review for it online. ClubOC's review. Anybody have anything to say about it?

Please advise.

I've got a pentium-3 based computer I'm looking to upgrade, but they're so varied I don't know what my options are. It's a socket-based one, not a slot. Currently houses a 600MHz coppermine chip. 100MHz fsb. Is it at all possible to put in, say, a 1GHz katmai chip?

My motherboard's a piece of crap and is severely unstable even running these at their rated speeds. When I get my vnf3-250 tomorrow, what kind of speeds should I expect out of these? Part name as best I can remember is Corsair XMS 3200LLPT, rated for 2-3-2-6 on amd systems and 2-2-2-6 on intel.

Yep. Whenever I try to install anything, I get an error popup that "The Windows installer service could not be accessed." I've rubbed the magic lamp of google and summoned a few similar topics, but none of their fixes worked. I've tried setting permissions to the registry, removing and...

My friend recommended this board back when the [email protected] was the hip new thing. He said his only problem was that it would complain on boot about "system failed due to memory error" or something to that effect. Well, I got mine and it does the same thing. 1007 Bios. The thing is, it's...

Fry's has a 3.2GHz p4e and crap-ass mobo for $200. That's $50 cheaper than the cpu alone, so I'm saving money no matter what. Also, people have said they were able to use the discount towards better mobo and not the craptastic model included in the deal. Should I go for it and unlock...

Looking for something to replace my 9500, since doom 3 ****ing freaks out with artifacts when I use it with softmod drivers. It looks like a damned cartoon flea circus is covering every surface in the game. Performance is pretty lousy when the card's used as the 9500np it is, so I'm looking...

I've got a radeon 9500 that I'm removing some crazy heatsink from, and I need to clean off the AS5 so that I can put on a newer heatsink/fan and stick some ramsinks on. How can I clean this crap off? It still leaves silver residue even if I use rubbing alcohol and fingernail polish remover...

Somebody said avoid home improvement stores and go to car repair stores. Good idea? Will I be able to get it in small (cheap) enough sheets? I'm new to this, but I just ordered a VGA Silencer and the finish on the mating surface is horrendous. I could plant crops in those grooves.

I've been trying to search for that page... Somebody posted it here not too long ago. It showed some of the new video cards being used on an athlon 2500+, 3200+, and 64 3200+ and showed how each processor allowed more of the card's power to show than the previous one. Does anybody know what...

Alrighty. I've got a Connect3d Radeon 9500np that I'm running as a 9700 series card by way of ocfaq's softmod-hacked drivers. I want to flash the bios and change the ID/name/whatever that it shows up as, and probably just go ahead and make it a 9700. What do I need for this?

Will a VGA Silencer fit on this card? I like the shove-the-heat-out-the-back design of the VGA Silencer. I've been told that the mounting holes on the x800 are the same as on the 9700 and 9800, but I don't know about component clearance. edit: What about existing heatpipe coolers, too...

Alright, I have an a7n8x that bitches about the ram at startup. At first I thought it was the mobo, and it very well may be having a problem getting this ddr400 ram to ddr400, but how likely is that? It's gotten to where it won't POST anymore, just says "system failed due to memory error" or...

I'm installing this thing, and the block that goes on the back of the card is confusing me. First off, is it supposed to go right on those resistors on the back? That seems a little odd / useless. Second, the manual points to the black backing on the rear block and says "thermal tape."...

I've got a no-name case, and I just got an Antec 430W PSU to replace my old one. Problem is, there's a big-ass (92mm) intake fan on the bottom/top of the PSU that I'd like to put to use, but with the way my case is designed, the fan is on top and about 1/2" away from the top of the case...

Newegg lists the TT Silentboost (my current fan) at 27.5 CFM and the Aero at 22 CFM max. Is that even correct? My 2500+ at 2.2ghz runs about 50c normally, and up to 54c under load with the Silentboost. Would the Aero be worth my time? I'm also getting a big-name power supply (either...

athlon xp 2500 @ 2.2ghz corsair XMS pc3200 in dual channel radeon 9500 @ 9700 asus a7n8x deluxe revision 2.0 Windows XP Pro Computer has been working fine since I put this current set of hardware together around August 2003. The only changes I've made since then were upgrading the...
