I recently bought an OCZ StealthStream with a LianLi case. The case places the PSU at the bottom, and given the short cables, I've found the P3 cable does not reach the plug on my MSI mobo. So, before I return this for another PSU, can I by PSU extension cables for the P3 plug? If so, where...

EDIT: Wrong forum. Sorry. Not sure how to delete posts =( </newb>

I just got a OCZ SilentStream 500w PSU. Will a non-OC'd MSI 460GTX run with it? If I go this route I imagine I can't OC, would it be better to bite on a Vapor-X 5770 and OC it with this PSU? Thanks for the advice.

Will a i3 bottleneck my ATi 5770? i3 530 Sapphire 5770 4GB DDR3-1600 G.SKILL MSI P55-GD55 Thanks in advance. Much appreciated.

I'm grabbing the MSI P55G55 MoBo with it's OC Genie. I'm interested in using this feature, but it notes you should use 1.65v RAM quote: So I've been looking at these Cosair sticks running at PC1600, 7-8-7-20 1.65v compared to this interesting pair of G.SKILLS, similar timings same speed...

Hey guys, really simple memory question, pardon me if it's answered in the FAQ, I couldn't find it: If I use 533Mhz ram on a mobo who's lowest speed is 667 will the ram still work? If it does will it be pushed up to 667 or stay at 533? Thanks!

Okay, so my buddy who's basically made of money just bought this card thinking "It's the most expensive, it must be the best!!" He paid $1300 for it. =/ I'm trying to convince him to return it but he's bent on gaming with it. Is gaming possible? What kind of FPS' would he hit with this...

...AquaMark 3?! The sites been down for a while now, did they just give up on it? Was there a legit reason or did they get lazy and not want to upkeep AM3? I need the AM3 patch for the NF4 mobo's, and since their site is down where can I get that patch from? Thanks!

I tried running the CoD2 demo with my new X800GT. The problem is right when the game loads my computer locks up with a blue screen. I have to run it in safe mode to play the game. What setting is causing my system to crash? Would it be memory based or my video card? My specs: AMD 3000+...

I'm trying to buy a budget computer, it'll be an AGP slotter as well, so which video card is the best choice? I'd like something that'll run Half Life 2 and Battlefield 2 smoothly. 9600 XT 6200 256MB (or any other nVidia/ATi equivilent under $100ish) Thanks for the help!

Alright, I just got a X800XT shipped to me. At the time of writing I could not find a PE that wasn't $100 more then what I paid for the XT. Anyway, it's a PowerColor. Has anyone been sucessful in achieving PE speeds with an XT on stock cooling? Will I need a NV Silencer? Also, I realize...

I'm curious if the nVidia glow technology is exclusive to the nVidia range of cards. This feature can be found in most of the newer games starting with Tron 2.0 and most recently, World of Warcraft (you have to enable it in the options). Does the glow work on X800 cards as well? Thanks!

Hopefully someone is selling one of these. And hopefully you're from Canada ;) Give me a price and we'll talk =D

I have a BFG 6800 GT, currently not OC'ed. When I play WoW / CS:S sometimes the game pauses for a few seconds and the sound repeats. Usually gameplay resumes, but sometimes I have to alt-tab out, then back in for it to work. I have a feeling it's my BFG messing up. It's a horrible OC'er and...

Yeah, my friend had a ATi X600 PowerColor. We tried turning up the clocks a little bit but nothing substantial came out of it. We upped the clocks about 15Mhz, then went back to stock. A few weeks later his card burnt out! What's the deal? I've gone though a 9800Pro, 6800NU and a 6800GT...

Okay, I had a basic OEM PSU. It's +12v rail where between 10.96 and 11.5v. So I bought a new Ultra 500w PSU, highly rated. I expected to see an improvement in the rails but only saw similar results from my old OEM PSU! When running CPU Burn-in it goes as low as 9.59v, and similarily I've seen my...

Okay, I have two choices: Antec NeoPower 480w OCZ Powerstream 520w Which is better? No, don't meantion PC&P or any other manufacturer, just what's better out of these two. Thanks! =)

I just grabbed a new PSU because my old OEM had a 10-11.3 +12v rail. So I bought this new PSU, it got great reviews, awesome stable rails, nothing bad about yet. But when I installed it and checked the BIOS and Hardware monitoring programs it claims it's +12v rail is only 11.4 +/- .5 ...

I just got a A64 3400+ CH CG setup witha DFI LanParty NF3 board. When I try to change the voltage the selection box maxes out at 1.550v, yet I've seen people getting 1.6v. What's the deal? How can I unlock my mobo to see ALL the volts that I can change to? Thanks!

Which one should I buy? What are the differences? 2.2Ghz 1MB -> http://anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=2480 2.4Ghz 512k -> http://anitec.ca/?mode=product_detail&pid=1360 Mobile 512K -> http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=12798&vpn=AMA3400BEX5--&manufacture=AMD Which one is...

Okay, so here's the deal. I do a stock run of 3DMark05 with my new BFG 6800GT. I pull off a 4832. Now, I overclock it to about 420/1000. I get 4841. Interesting... I then overclocked my 2D clock rates (which usually are always stock) to 420/1000 and BAM! 5252 in 3DMark05. What gives?! The...

Looks too good to be true: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40177&item=6709646532 He has good feedback, and accepts PayPal (most scammers only want money order). He offered a friend of mine this same computer for $600. What do you guys think? Legit/fake? EDIT: Actually...

I've recently come across a green PCB BFG with an NV silencer, so I'm assuming it's the older reference design BFG. Is there any difference in ram or OC's with the green and blue PCB's? Does anyone have the green one and can vouch that it's the same as the blue PCB? Thanks!!

I have an ASUS A7N8X Deluxe motherboard currently with a 2600+ AMD in it. I'm looking to buy a 3200+ Barton yet ASUS states this as working CPU's for this board: "Socket A for AMDR Athlon™ XP/ Athlon™ / Duron™ 600MHz ~ 3000+ Thoroughbred/Barton core CPU ready". It's not the A7N8X-E Deluxe, or...

For all those who have bought the Gainward 6800nu (or GT?) what is the difference in temperatures between the single-slot and dual-slotted versions of these cards. I heard the dual-slot card makes a lot more noise, but does it really help in tempatures? Thanks!

I got a 6800nu, I'm OC'ed it's memory to 910 and can go higher. How do I check if I have 2.2ns ram? I thought you can't get speeds with 2.5ns...!?

The Tribes: Venegence beta has been out for a while. Although it's no Doom 3 in terms of graphics it does look graphically better the CS:S, and Tribes 2 was somewhat demanding when it came out. I'm not sure what [H]ard's policies are on warez but it is available. Hopefully someone can bench...

I'm looking at getting the Gainward Golden Sample 6800 128MB card. Does anyone already own this card? What are the stock clock speeds? Is the ram really 2.2ns with the dual-slot card? Does the fan do a better job of cooling then the reference coolers? What kind of software bundle does it...

I recently got a 6800nu, it’s the same one found in early 6800nu reviews, made by nVidia. Reference fan, reference everything. No manufacture just nVidia. Now I haven’t had any problems with it. I’ve managed to OC it to 380/870. The temp doesn’t get higher then 71C. The fan is great. The...

Everyone's talking about ATi vs nVidia, Doom 3 benchmarks, but I want to know what your current scores are! What were your last 3DMark, AquaMark scores and now that you've bought a new 6800 or X800 what are they at? Haven't bought a new card yet? Who cares! Post your scores anyway! My...

Check out this card: http://www.gamerdesktops.com/images/card.jpg What kind of 6800 do you think it is? LE/NU/GT/Ultra? Thanks!

Hey, I'm using my and my roomates monitor. I have an ATI 9800 Pro. As of now his monitor is an extension of my own, meaning i can move dialog boxes over to his monitor. Is there anyway where I can have 2 desktops? One for him, one for mine. Then instead of moving windows over I can switch to his...

Hey, I'm just wondering what the dimensions are for those 3 floppy bays. Is it 5in by 5in? Any help would be awesome!

I'm looking for some cool window stencils, not the ordinary oval or square. Not even stencils necessarily, just pictures of cool designs for a window =) Thanks!

I'm a big fan of the Tsunami, and silver cases. Everywhere review I read, every picture I see, are all of black Tsunami's. Does anyone own a silver Tsunami and can upload pictures of it? I've seen plenty of black ones with the blue LEDs on, but never of a silver one with it's blue LEDs on...

I'm looking at buying a new case, preferably an aluminum one. Anyone know of a really good site that reviews a ton of cases and offers things like, top 10 best cases ever, etc. I've seen the Lian-Li's, but they all look really dull and plain. Same with the CoolerMasters. The Tsunami looks...
