I'm in the middle of setting up a new PC. I got my ASRock Z77 OC Formula motherboard, an enormous Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler, and a single GTX 690 video card. I'm trying to make everything fit happily. I just finished mounting the NH-D14 and then realized my GTX 690 is supposed to go in PCIE2...

I just bought a 256GB OCZ Vertex 4 because my 128GB Crucial M4 wasn't enough capacity anymore. Rather than taking time to back things up and clear the old M4 first, I installed Windows 7 on the Vertex 4 without touching my Win7 install on the M4. I had the M4 disconnected while doing the...

Hey I thought it would be nice to have a thread where some of us lucky GTX 690 owners can share our experiences. Is it meeting your expectations? Worth $1000? Any problems/annoyances? I just installed my EVGA GTX 690 along with a new 1000W power supply. I've only played about 30 minutes of...

I think my system is about 3 years old now and for the most part I am very happy with it, except now some of the newer game titles are stressing it a little. Here's what I have now. Intel i7 920 running at 3.4 GHz ASUS P6T Deluxe 6 GB RAM - honestly can't remember what it is but fairly...

I just noticed something strange in Google Maps on my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (Android 2.1) phone. I had GPS off and opened Google Maps at my house and it showed that my current location was at my parents' house (within 100m). Now my parents' house is about 3.5 km away (as the crow flies) and...

I bought a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit OEM. The box has a label on it that says My first thought was that this is 1 of 30 but looking at my Vista OEM box, it says So my Vista box says 1pk and my Win7 box says 30pk. Both are just single DVD boxes. My question is, is my Windows...

I have Win7 RC installed and I think it is usable until mid 2010. What, if any, are the differences between the RC and retail versions of Windows 7? Any security concerns with RC? Just wondering if I should relax and upgrade later or get on it right away. Thanks

My brother watches tv shows off my computer on his XBOX 360 and when he is doing so, there is a constant upload of just over 60 Mbps (~8 MB/s). He is watching files that are around 400 MB and 42 minutes long. That bandwidth seems too high. What is going on? Is there a lot of overhead, or maybe...

Is there a screensaver for Windows that can show random pictures from a specified folder and not repeat a photo until every picture has been shown once? The built-in XP screensaver is random but it tends to repeat a lot of pictures even when selecting from a pool of 20,000 pictures. Any...

I just thought I would help some people out here after finally fixing an annoying problem. If you are noticing that your audio volume drops when in games or other applications that make use of your microphone, you may be interested in this. Go to the Control Panel (Windows, not sound...

I'm trying to help my dad out. He has a video camera that records directly to MiniDVD's (1.4 GB, 8 cm discs). I would like to combine video from multiple MiniDVD's to regular DVD's. I do no want to recompress any of the video in order to preserve the original quality. All I need to do is combine...

Currently I have an ASUS P6T Deluxe, a GTX 280, and an Auzentech Prelude (PCI) sound card. Right now my sound card sits directly below my GTX 280, in other words there is no space between the video card and the sound card. Is there room to get another GTX 280 in the 2nd PCI-E slot? It looks...

A month or so ago I downloaded the program to make Windows Update install SP1 before the final release. So now in the bottom right corner of my desktop it says "Evaluation copy. Build: 6001" My question is, is the final release of SP1 (for 32 bit) available through Windows Update yet, and if...

I have googled this one and have been struggling with it for the past two weeks. I bought an LG R500 notebook that came preloaded with Vista Home Premium. I need to use Autodesk Inventor 2008 on it. In order to install and use the Content Center Libraries it must run and pass the "ADMS...

I used to share everything on my family's computer so I could easily check things out from my PC. I think it was since SP2 came out for XP that the other computer started denying me access to the Windows and Program Files folder. How can I enable file sharing for those folder? Thanks

I'd like to buy one soon and I can't find any Canadian retailers (online and not) that sell the 6800 GT. Anyone know when they will be in available in Canada? :confused:
