Just recieved my VX2025wm after buying it based mostly on this thread and the great reviews on newegg and im glad to say that they're all right. Loving this monitor, great picture quality and games like WoW look much better. Thanks for starting this thread!

Woops, yes ill be getting 2 x 1 GB sticks of whatever I end up getting. And yes I know corsair is fine, ive had a few sticks from them for awhile and had no problems whatsoever. Also im still debating on what chip to get, all of the benchmarks ive looked at place the 4000+ San Diego much...

Well after seeing this deal.. www.slickdeals.net/#p6861 I really dont think I can pass that up for the 4400+. This processor should perform better than the 4000 in most games?

Well im by no means a multitasker so I really dont think thats for me, everything that ive been reading is that the X2's suck for gaming is that true?

Well im looking to build a whole new system with gaming in mind. Heres the parts list ive come up with... Asus A8N SLI Premium eVGA 7800GTX 256-P2-N527 Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic (just stick with my Audigy 2 ZS?) AMD 64 4000+ San Diego (Looking to overclock some but nothing...

More pics asap! :)

I'm toying around with the idea of putting a rehostat in my shuttle to control the fan instead of using the "smart fan" feature, my question is has anyone else done this (I would imagine so, but I really cant say ive seen it myself). And will my shuttle motherboard like it very much when there's...

Put it in a cardboard box they use for animal transport, write ferrets somewhere on it and while away have a tape recording of ferret sounds playing.

Atleast in the model I have (SB61G2V2, which I believe is the one in the pictures?) theres basically no space for a fan on either side up near the front plate, one side is blocked by most GFX cards and the other side is blocked by the power supply cables. I could see someone being able to get a...

Just got my shuttle, so I should probably see if its stable and running smoothly before voiding my warrenty. :o But im planning on doing this exact mod, what kind of temp drops did you get? Nice work very clean!

I forgot to mention what I have tried, sorry. I have reset the CMOS as well as taken the battery out for 30 seconds (same thing right?). I have also tried another stick of ram, one stick of 512mb works fine, but when I put another 512mb stick in things get unreliable and messy. The strange...

So ya....I cannot believe I did something this stupid but like the topic says, I installed a 512mb stick of OCZ ram in backwards (went into the DIMM slot rather easy actually) but now of course im having problems. This ram stick is dead as far as I can tell, theres a black contact point on one...

Not half bad, any better shots of the block before you put it on?

If the system is closed ( air tight ) and not leaking water you dont need to refill the system. You do however need to change out the water sometimes when things start growing in it. :o

Can someone explain this ac ripple a little further? What solves this problem. (im having this problem as well)

I've heard steel boxes around pumps work well, might wanna give that a try.

What eheim model?

I would say not to use food coloring, it dyes your lines permenatly and any fittings that arent metal (dont know if you have any). Also leaks/spills can be quite a pain to clean up.

Im looking for a quite pump that will not vibrate and annoy the hell out of me like my current pump the via 1300 (suggestions very much welcomed). Now I hear the CSP-750 is great pump thats very quite and keeps vibration to a minimum (true?) but would it be able to handle pumping through a...

Im building a second machine, most likely for a HTPC out of old parts. The system is a Abit KT7-R with a Duron 800 and some 256 mb OCZ PC-133 ram. Now my problem is when trying to boot up, the system posts, the harddrive I have hooked up is recognized but then I cannot get it to start windows...

My via aqua pump is going on about a year of use, works fine. It is loud theres no doubt about that but its been a reliable pump for me.

Currently I am having a problem where if I put my computer case on my desk, which would really be nice to be able to do, it causes my monitor to jitter because of the pump magnet interfering with the monitors magnet. If you know what I should use to sheild the pump so the magnetic waves dont...

Are there any pumps around that are just not magnetically driven?

Recently I wanted to move my computer up to the top of my desk near my monitor but when turning on the computer the magnet from my pump causes my monitor to start shaking so that it hurts to read text look at etc. Is there any type of material that would block the manget from messing with my...

Ok well so far its done it once or twice while its just idling, running pretty much nothing except asus probe, mIRC, Ventrilo and a program called "Steam" to play Counter-Strike. Nothing really taxing the system or doing much. Other times I could be opening up a few programs like mIRC and...

Ok I have this machine im working on here are the specs... Intel P4 2.8c Asus P4P800 Deluxe OCZ PC3200 512mb RAM Gainward GF3 Ti200 Sound Blaster Live Value Antec TruePower 480w Idle 26-30*C depending on room temp Full 38-45*C again depending on room temp Using stock HSF with some...

Hrm any ohter ideas?

My ram voltage or what?

Im having some stability (see sigh random reboots... in this same forum) could this be the cause? 12v 11.80v 5v 4.95 3.3v 3.25 vcore 1.49 5vsb 4.94 This is with a Antec TruePower 480w. Also my voltages hardly ever fluctuate, on the abit hardware monitor its always completely flate...

Well first no im running Win XP Pro. Second the system im having problems with is in my sig, and the w/c parts im using are a 300gph pump, BIX radiator and a dtek tc4 rev 2 along with a danger den gf3 waterblock. Both blocks feel cool to the touch and gfx is running perfectly fine with no...

Ok, for about 2 weeks now ive been getting a few random reboots where the system would suddenly hang and then before I know it I am looking at the video card bios screen upon reboot. I really could use some help as to what it could possibly be, so far ive tried relaxing memory timings as far...

Ok I just put together a new system (see sig) and now im getting a few random reboots where ill be doing some things and then the screen will go black and ill see my video cards bios status in a few seconds. Now im fairly sure its not temps since according to the to hot thread that anything...

Best temp readings would be if you put the probe in the middle of the heatsink on the oppisite side of the cpu. That is if you dont want to put a probe right on the side of the chip. However putting a probe right on the side of the heatsink wouldnt show you correct temps as its cooler near...

Isnt* >:| You dont want air in the lines because it makes the system less efficient, air taking the place of water makes the water lose the heat slower in the radiator.

Its easiest to do this with all the parts out of the case but puting the res up high and the rest of the parts low causing the air to goto the res works well when I do this I have to kinda shake and turn the waterblocks and radiators around so that the air will become untraped and go to the res...

Getting the same temps as you with the same mobo and chip, dunno if its an error or not but ya doing the same as yours. :(

I just got my first intel based system a p4 2.8C with a Abit IC7-MAX3 now ive always heard that intels are supposed to run cooler so I am a little worried about my temps. At full load I get very close to 60*C it still runs stable and everything but still has me a bit worried, I am thinking...

Playing with developer 1 can really screw with your feel of the game, I dont know if any of you play CS seriously as in competitivly such as CPL or CAL, but I like to and its very apprent to me with my hardware that when I use dev 1 it really changes how the aiming feels aswell as movement...

Yup didnt find much of anything tried both plugins they have for gfx cards on their site both I couldnt get to work. Any other ideas?

I just picked up a Leadtek GF FX 5900 Ultra, now in the software it is able to read the temps of the GPU and RAM, but I would like to use some other much better software such as mbm5 or something like that. Is there anyway to do this or is it only possible through their software?
