    780: EVGA worth $40 over PNY?

    Looking at 780s, I need a blower-style card for my case. Best prices I'm seeing new on the web for new 780's right now have the EVGA reference @ $510, and I would prefer sticking with EVGA ... but I saw a PNY reference card @ $470 ... (Been awhile since I posted here at the [H], not sure if...

    Cheap iTunes aggregator NAS?

    Thought this was the most appropriate forum for this, mods can of course say otherwise. Got my dad setup with a home theater system, including a Sonos for playing his iTunes, radio etc. Only issue is he just hates (for whatever reason) leaving his laptop on and within wifi range, or the wifi...

    FT03 Mini - Stupidly long cable fix

    Surprised I haven't seen anyone doing this yet - so I thought I'd share. The USB3/Audio mobo header cables in the FT03 Mini are egregiously long, as seen here: Just look at that mess. Being anal about cable management, I tried to route them under the board, no go. It's obvious from...

    Best wireless setup for security & guess access

    Thought I'd let the networking gurus take a stab at this one. I recently picked up a Visio XWR-100 based on its good reviews, range, simultaneous dual band, and price - hard to beat > $60! Plus, it's nice to look at, and we all know WAF is critical. :rolleyes: We frequently have guests...

    Finally - new build!!

    Alright, here goes. After years of saving and months of agonizing, I've finally re-upped and gotten back into the enthusiast scene. To show you what I mean, here's what I'm running now: This thing is loud and obnoxious. It's really a holdover from when I was a broke-ass student and had to...

    Best x58 board for highest BCLK?

    Reviews of x58 motherboards seem to be sporadic at the moment. Like any sane person, I am NOT buying the unlocked i965, so I'm trying to find a board that won't hold back my i920 overclock. Lot of solid boards out there but I haven't seen as much attention paid to the maximum BCLKs people are...

    GTX 260 SLI vs 4870 x2

    With the craziness that is Live cashback, these two options are coming in very close pricewise now. The only major difference is that I could go Q9550 + Gigabyte UD3R/P with the 4870 x2 instead of i7 920 + x58 (prefer to avoid i750 & i780 if possible) with the x2 GTX 260 (192 core). Then...

    Logo ideas for my website?

    http://www.mattoverclocked.com Ya I know, it's fairly wretched looking ATM, but focus on the logo - I just made this one with a few minutes in Cool3D - not much of an artist, but my bro is at an art school, he looked at it and said "too much" :rolleyes: So since the current dealie is a...

    Unwanted connecitons on your wireless router?

    My brother has a router setup at school for his desktop/tablet PC/PS2/Xbox, and though he doesn't use the wireless function he's (foolishly, but what can you do, it's family :rolleyes: ) been leaving it on. There's one girl in particular who keeps using his connection, and though he knows he...

    New site - how's it so far?

    I've had this domain for a bit and it's been in my sig, but I think it's finally ready for the [H] crowd to at least get a look at it and see how it's progressing. Any suggestions, tips etc. are well appreciated - I'm an experienced C/C++ programmer but my HTML/CSS/Jscript are rusty :D...

    6800/GT/Ultra PCIe sightings?

    I'm sure I'm not the only one on these forums looking to do an SLI setup, but I'm not keen on dual 6600's, and 6800's in PCIe format seem to be rare/expensive at the moment. So I thought I'd start an official sightings thread - here's the best I've found so far: MSI 6800 256MB PCIe - $340...

    WTB FX-55, PCIe 6800GT x2

    If anyone overbought on their processor purchase, I'm looking to buy an FX-55 to go with my Vapochill LS. The current retail price is ~$850, so make me an offer - I'm hoping to get a CPU that was originally retail (i.e. w/ AMD 3yr warranty), so I'd be expecting a discount on an OEM FX-55...

    WARNING to Winchester/90nm A64 buyers

    There are several threads on the net pertaining to the issue I'm describing, but for those who aren't aware - all current Socket 939 boards require a BIOS update to operate with the new Winchester core (90nm 512k) CPU's (the only exception is the Asus A8V, which will POST with the new CPU's...

    Socket 939 – best board for max FSB?

    Well it’s been a while since I hit up the forums here – been a reader since, oh, 96’ or so, but I thought I’d share a few things and ask a few questions, get to be a part of the community, blah blah blah . . . I turned 21 on 9/30 – it was a momentous event, yes, and I now get to keep a bottle...
