I've been going through routers left and right since October 2012; same symptoms across each one. Works fine for X amount of time (X is anywhere from 1 week to 6 months) and then randomly I cannot access information outside of the network via lan or wlan. I've used two D-Link routers (DGL-4300...

Hey guys, finally took the plunge and ordered a gtx680 and am somewhat kicking myself for it. Installed the card, and am running stock clocks (slight boost by oem) and it seems I'm experiencing stuttering. It's random... Happens only in games. From CS:S, to APB Reloaded, BF3... Even benchmarks...

I am posting this here because I cannot for the life of me narrow down an issue I'm having with a rig I have in my possession. Basically, I have a system that will shutdown on it's own without warning. Sometimes it will display Vista's shutting down message, other times it will just cut the...

Hey guys, so I'm going to be building a rig using a TT Lanbox Lite and was wondering... what is the current best video card that is 9.6" long? SLi or CF configs are fine... and cost does not matter. Card will be running 1680x1050 and obv as high detail as possible. Games played will be WoW...

Jumping right into it. Building a core i7 system... Antec Mini P180 for the case... tossing the idea back and forth as to which HSF to use. Currently I'm looking at... Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 Scythe Ninja Mini Will the Noctua fit in the Mini P180? Being mindful, I will be using three...

I'm going to be building a Core i7 system soon, and am totally undecided what cooler to use with this & a Lanbox Lite. I've read somewhere that the max height that will fit is 10cm. Any suggestions on what to use? The system will be overclocked as much as possible (without modifying vcore) so...

So, currently I have an XFX 8800GTS - #PVT80GTHD4 I've been looking to upgrade for some time, but can't really decide what would be the best option for me. I play CS:S, Warhammer Online, WoW, Crysis... I do notice some fps hiccups in Warhammer (and I'm not even running @ max...

So I've been randomly using this chilling plate from CoolIt and was wondering if it's possible to mod this to lower the temps even more? I don't know anything about the TEC in it... but this is all I can use at work aside from your typical ice pack which is retarded. Mini fridges aren't...

Hey guys... Looking to create a couple vcd's and am wondering what would be decent for converting mp4's for this. Google is filled with a bunch of crap and I don't feel like going through countless links for garbage. Thanks in advance...

So... I'm a little annoyed. I've always used CoreTemp... but lately I'm reading that RealTemp is more accurate. So, which should I go by? Image hosting

Would any of you happen to know the specs of the fans that come with the Antec 900? I'm searching for possible replacements for them. They're decent, but don't blow enough air imo. I'm looking at: 2x http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835705004 for intake. 1x...

I don't know where to begin, so I'll just jump right in with the problems. Last Wednesday my system crashed, hard. WinXP BSOD'd and upon reboot I received an error message stating that the System32 folder could not be found. I assumed it was a virus that my AV missed... but read on. Okay...

So after having a second set of Crucial Ballistix die out on me (Model BL2KIT12864AA804) I've decided to go back to Corsair. Thing is... I've never used the PC6400 series of their ram. Can any of you make a suggestion as to which sticks perform well and have a lifespan of over 6 months? I would...

Nevermind, found what I was looking for...

So, after using Zone Alarm Pro for a week (weren't they one of the better ones?) I've decided to switch firewall software. I'm in search of a light resource bidirectional firewall that won't giving me massive errors and corrupting my registry after a week of use. Price doesn't really matter...

Any of you happen to own one of these and have found any addons? I really want to get one to show my cpu/core temps. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/88ee/ to see what I'm talking about.

Just built a system for a coworker and noticed that this puppy is running extremely hot at stock speeds. Turns out the vcore on it is set to 1.5... Any ideas how to change this setting? There is no manual voltage setting in the bios.

Alright. So I've had this E6600 for a couple weeks now and am slowly trying to OC my way up to around 3.6ghz on air cooling. My problem, however, is that the system randomly reboots while running Orthos at 3.4ghz. My temps are fine at 3.4ghz (30c idle, 52c load) and Orthos has never errored...

I've tried Trillian, gaim, and Miranda. All on Vista... and am wondering if there are any software clients that can utilize the old aim 'Get File' feature. I share a lot of files with friends and can't seem to get any real version of aim up and running. I know I could just setup an FTP... but...

Just wondering... in an effort to cleanly install these fans; has anyone tried snipping off the 4pin molex connectors on these? They're just going to get in the way so I was going to try, but hoping for some feedback first. :)

Anyone happen to know what the IHS is made out of on these processors? I was going to attempt to use LiquidMetal, but am afraid of the IHS possibly being made out aluminum.

Any tips on getting this damn thing off? The tower is being rma'd... so it needs to go back.

I've run Orthos for roughly 6 hours periodically checking the temps in Speed Fan and CoreTemp; which seem fine for core temps. Averaging 42c - 46c under load. This is at stock voltage, fsb/ram at 1:1 (266/533), and fsb at 334 (3.0ghz). Before I venture any further into this post... I'll type...

So, I've disabled EIST with this motherboard... and for some reason it continues to modify the multiplier when the processor isn't being used. What else would allow it to do so? I'm getting ready to OC this system, but want to be fully aware of what the board can do. Edit: Could a moderator...

So, running prime95 tests on my new system is yielding cpu temps around 40c under load in CoreTemp. This is on stock timings with as5. I've reseated the tower twice, and keep getting around the same temps. I was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on how to get my load temps lower. I...

Just received my PSU today, and in the instruction manual it shows several ways to connect devices to the psu. However, I don't see a diagram to connect 2 sata hdd's and one sata dvdrw to the same cabling. Is this possible? Thanks in advance :)

Trying to decide which ram to go with... I've picked out http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820146565 To go with my BadAxe 2. I've always been a loyal Corsair buyer... but this one appeals to me. Was wondering if you guys have any positve/negative experience with these...

Wondering... when OC'ing an amd a64 san diego... I've read that HT Link should not exceed 1000. What I'm curious about, is, should we try to get HT Link as close as possible to 1000 while keeping the bus speed at 1:1 with the ram frequency?

So... I'm going to be grabbing a Lian Li case that has two 120mm fans in it (1 front, 1 rear) and was wondering... which is better? Higher speed pushing in, or higher speed pulling air out? I plan on using 2x http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811999344 in this case...

I've been going back and forth for a couple of days now. I really can't decide which motherboard to get with my system. I'm just curious as to what I should get for it... seeing as this is my first Intel system since the Celeron 300 hit shelves... been an AMD fan ever since. I've been looking...

So, I have this AMD 64 3700+ San Diego that I want to OC. I'm in the process of building a new system, and just wondering what I can actually get this thing to. So if it dies... well, who cares! Setup: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Zalman cnps9500 Cooler w/ Arctic...

Not sure where I should be posting this but I'm looking for recommendations on a GOOD component switch. Trying to keep the cost around 200 bucks. So far I've found this... http://www.zektor.com/hds41/index.html Any other suggestions that won't cost me a fortune?

Building a system and trying to keep it under $2k, have a 200gb external drive for storage and Eclipse II / Logitech Revolution for input devices. I'm going to be reusing my sound card, video card (waiting for a decently priced dx10 card) and my dvd burner. So... all feedback is welcome...

I'm debating on which HSF to get with my purchase of an E6600. I've been using AMD's for several years now, and have no clue which would work best. I was only thinking of OC'ing the E6600 to bring it up to 3.0ghz flat... so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I was wondering... If I were to hook this fan up without using the supplied fan controller, would the fan run full speed all the time?

When I built my system, I used the OEM AMD heatsink & fan. Thus, used the oem thermal pad that was on the heatsink. I was wondering the best way (home solution) to remove this... or if there is anything that I could get from a local store to remove the thermal pad residue from the processor...

I was trying to find a strong NB fan for my Asus board, and unfortunately I can't seem to find anything that really moves any air. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Cliff notes because I don't feel like typing a whole explanation... -Power off PC, attempt to turn back on = no power up. -Switch OFF surge protector, wait a few minutes, switch ON surge protector = system boots up like normal. I have no issues what-so-ever while the system is powered on...

Just got a Cisco 1841 from my stepdad. Apparently his work was throwing them out so he brought one home to see if it was worth anything. Now, I'm trying to access the console via ethernet, and am having no luck at all. Do you guys have any suggestions?
