I'm finally building a new system after 5 or so years (used to upgrade every 6 months back in the competitive gaming glory days). Just looking for some feedback if any of these components are a too much, too little, overpriced, incompatible, etc, for what I'm doing. Mainly building this...

so I just installed Vista Home Premium yesterday. I updated drivers and all, but when I scroll in irc, firefox, or ie with arrow keys, clicking on scroll bar, mouse wheel, etc it's rather laggy. Almost as if I don't have my vid card drivers installed(which they are). I've tried a clean install...

I had a problem with my eVGA 6800gt overheating to around 72c gpu/52c ambient idle and 90c+ gpu ingame and this was with no a/c in texas btw :P...so I put on some thermalpaste I had laying around, just a small thin layer on -only- the GPU and now its around 60c gpu/48c ambient idle and up to 77c...

hey, my 6800gt seems to be running really hot...71c core/51c ambient temperatures in windows...was wondering if there are any diagnostic programs out there to see if anythings running wrong, or if its running faster than default...I have the overclocking options unlocked, but it's not...

I have a problem with overheating on my eVGA 6800gt 256mb card...well its not a problem with the card, but my house :P I don't have A/C, and its a hot summer here in texas...but anyways, when playing WoW I freeze every few minutes for about 5 secs...I assume its my vid card because it was...

Just wondering what the optimal temps are for this chip...I have a XP-90 and a 92mm fan on it...holding at around 39-40c under loads without a/c in my house...I was happily suprised by this when I first saw it compared to my old system, might o/c a little soon.

I don't plan on upgrading my cpu for a bit, so I'm guessing the 754 would do just right. Buying from newegg so the 3700+ is about $40 more. Thanks. EDIT: Anyone have any ideas on some good heatsink/fan setups for minor overclocking?

Here's the deal. I have both of hese cards unopened and I am trying to find out which is better for my secondary gaming system. I plan on selling the other. I can't find a single place that sells the 9800pro -256mb-...I see benchmarks saying the 6800nu is better than the 9800xt, but they dont...

I am posting in here because I can only assume its the motherboard thats the problem...let me explain...Whenever I -reboot- my system, it freezes on bootup during the bios loading screen(I think you know what I mean, where it counts up the ram, cpu speed, etc)...I have turn turn off the power...

Okay, many people are getting the BFG because of the lifetime warranty, and I wanted to find out if that warranty covered overclocking...most people told me "it should...it comes overclocked anyway, so I would assume so", but I went to check BFG's website ( www.bfgtech.com ) to get information...

My friend bought a eVGA 6800gt and is planning on selling it to me for $370, because he cannot overclock it past 380/1050(I think those were the numbers)...he put it in a shuttle with a 250w power supply....I was wondering if this is a good deal, considering the problem he had...I honestly am...

Just trying to confirm things I have heard around the forums before I actually buy one. eVGA's 6800gt can overclock to 400mhz+ core speed and 1100mhz+ memory speed? eVGA, BFG, and PNY all use the same "template" or "reference design" for making their cards...so essentially they're just...
