OCP! My CPU fan died on my 3+ year old Intel E6300 proc, frying it. I overclocked that CPU throughout its life and it performed really well for me. Ironically, it wasn't the overclocking per se that did it in, but some combination of dust buildup in the heatsink, arctic silver paste that was...

It's been 2-3 years since I've been keeping track of PC hardware so bear with me. I've got a Core 2 due (stock 1.86ghz but I run it at ~3.0ghz). My old 7900gt video card is literally dying on me (3/4 of the time I start up, my monitor shuts off, gives off a high-pitched whine, and the 'on'...

WTB COH with unused cdkey. I'm mostly interested in just the cdkey but per hardforum policy I will take the cd as well. Willing to pay 40$+, open to negotiation. PM me, I'm itchin' to play the game and its sold out here. Thanks.

Anyone happen to have a spare one that your not using?

According to both BIOS and my gigabyte monitoring software, my CPU runs about 33C idle. It also tells me that my system temp is about 41C idle. Is this even possible? It seems as though something is wrong. I thought CPU temps were always higher than system temps. As well, when I touch the CPU...

I've got a Gigabyte DS3 mobo and a single 7900gt and although the vid. card overclocks alright, I'd like to push it further. Does giving the PCI-E slot more voltage through bios give more headroom? And if so, what is the most extra juice I should give it without getting into crazy territory. My...

With a middling enthusiast air cooling setup (just an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro and 3 120mm case fans), I'm currently at 3.46ghz, but here's the kicker, it's on F1 bios. Voltage is +.2 to VDIMM and 3.5 on CPU. Plus, this is all on 667 memory, which is at 1000mhz now - This Patriot is...

I meant to buy a SATA2 drive but ordered an IDE instead, bleh. Should I send this drive back or will the performance difference be negligable? I'm eager to get my righ up an running.

My Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 PRO heatsink came with RCTIC MX-1 thermal compound pre-applied. I then put a thin layer of Arctic Silver 5 onto my CPU, then mounted the heatsink. Is the mixing of these two pastes going to cause a problem?

I have some extra fans on hand but no place on the case to put them. I was wondering if it would be wise to stick a fan (glued) near the bottom of the case, fully inside of the case, to pull some of the cool air that hangs out at the bottom of the case up towards other components. I'm...

I'm looking to save some money on my new conroe build by going for a PSU and case that has good bang for the buck. I'm not looking for flash at all, I just want an inexpensive case that will keep the insides relatively cool, be relatively durable, and be cheap. As for the PSU, I'm looking for...

Hey Guys. I recently bought a Nintendo DS lite and I'm looking to sell or trade a few DS games that I've beaten/grown tired with. All include game box, manuals, game cart all in like new, pristine condition. The following 3 games are up for sale, 20$ + shipping: 1) Mario Kart DS 2) Animal...

Updated Prices Selling: 1) Barebones setup which is fully put together with the following parts includes: NF7-S Mobo, Athlon Barton 2500+ proc (overclockable to 3200+ speeds without voltage change, + more with some tweaking), Antec Case w/ Case fans and included power supply, SLK-800-U...

Sorry bout that, double post.

I made a similar post about this a week ago but I want to make myself more clear so my problem is easily understandable. Using Eclipses methods, I've found that with my Venice 3200+ proc I am able to achieve: 1) At least 2600 mhz overall cpu speed 2) At least 270 mhz HTT (fsb) 3)...

I want to thank Eclipse for his great guide on A64 overclocking. In any event, I went through his steps...the htt is able to achieve very high levels as well as the overall processor speed (I'm settling on 2600mhz for now until my new cpu fan arrives). There's just one problem: This speed...

I recently got a Venice core and am going to be doing some moderate overclocking. What is a reasonable 'max' vcore that I should go up to? I'm used to Athlon XP's which are a bit different. As well, what would be a reasonable 'max' voltage for the ram? Thanks a bunch.

Not sure where to turn to - I just finished putting my new computer together, Athlon 64 Venice core...no bios post when I turn the computer on. It powers on, lights up, all the fans spin, etc, but no bios. Anyone have any ideas?

The case is this one: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811129144 And it looks like this: http://images10.newegg.com/productimage/11-129-144-12.JPG If you've got it, make me an offer. PM me.

At newegg, the OEM Venice 3200+ is 196$, but the retail is 193$. Seems a bit odd to me. Shouldn't the OEM be more inexpensive? I tried looking for some other difference between the two (other than heatsink/fan), and what I did notice was that the OEM model is Model ADA3200DAA4BP and the Retail...

I'm going with a 3200+ Venice CPU and I am going to do a good amount of overclocking. Is the stock Heatsink alright? Or should I go with a different heatsink?

Your thoughts? For gaming, is more than 1g ever needed? Would it be worth it to go for 2g over 1g in a new system as far as gaming goes?

My plan over the past few weeks has been to upgrade my CPU and motherboard from an Athlon 2500+ XP to an Athlon 64 3200+ Venice. The only problem I am encountering in making my final choices is my limits on motherboards. I currently have an Nvidia 6800gt AGP card that I planned to use for my new...

I'm going to purchase this quite soon. I have 1gig of PC3200 Corsair Ram to go along with it (pretty nice quality, though It's been in use for quite a while). Question: How high should I be able to bump up the FSB with this type of ram? Would it be wise in any way to buy higher-rated ram...

Hey all, In lieu of Battlefield 2 and other upcoming games, I'm looking to upgrade my computer. My current computer I put together myself, and I have good knowledge of pc hardware like everyone here (though no doubt many of you know even quite a bit more). Here is my current setup: NF7-S...

I have a 46 hunter on Suramar, a medium non-PVP server, and it's been quite fun. However, there are times when it's difficult to find groups, so I've thought about starting up another character somewhere else. I'd love the thrill of a PVP server (I love grouping). Before I jump in, I'd like to...

Sorry to clog up the forums, but I can't seem to find a thread here about this, and after five minutes of google searching I found nothing. How do I enable the 1280X960 resolution in Doom 3? A quick response is appreciated, thank you!

Just the CD's in case + valid working cd-key. Will pay 35$ shipped.

Let me give you my specs first: NF7-S Athlon Barton 2500+ clocked at 10.5X215 = 2255 mhz. High quality (Forget the exact name, but definately higher-end version) Corsair PC3200 DDR (1 Gig) 6800GT@ Ultra clocks I recently purchased a 6800GT to get ready for the new generation of games...

Which do you suggest? (for 6800 gt) Edit: Also, on a side note, what is an acceptable temp after running Rthdribl for 15 minutes?

So, I just recieved my 6800 gt. Installed it and everything, then when windows loaded up I went to check my ambient/CPU temps because I wasn't sure if I had remembered to plug all my fans back in (I did), and I get this error saying how the 12V line is overloaded/not getting enough power (or...

I'm not sure if this is the place to put this, but I can't think of anywhere else. TV's run at 30 FPS. Movies usually at 24 FPS. But the fact is, when playing games, those framerates usually do not suffice. In other words, a ton more jerkiness is seen on PC games at 30 frames, for example...

EDIT: Sorry, already found one

I've never purchased a digital camera before and as such I'm very new to the world of digital cameras (in terms of hardware). So... I've looked at reviews and talked to someone, and I see that this camera is pretty good...
