Rest in Peace `o Sound Blaster Audigy. For you are my first casualty in my fight for cooling. I have been water cooling for years, with my first water cooling rig being one of the original Koolance cases, with nary a drop of water leaking. Alas, when I returned from walking the dog to...

I was not sure where to put this post...but since I am dealing with an overclocked computer, here it goes... I am having a SEVERE problem with Electro-Magnetic Interference. When my computer is on, (a) my garage door opener will not operate with the remote (the wall mounted wired...

I sort of wanted to post this in the Intel forum, but fear that it would be deleted for "trolling" I figured I better stick it here in the AMD forum. That said, I am not trolling, but expressing my opinion.... WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE NEW INTEL "REVAMP"? Intel - Leap Ahead?!? What...

Hello ladies & gentlemen... I recently upgraded from a 6800GT to a 7800GT. I am now looking to possibly sell my 6800GT, however, due to the fact that I was watercooling the 6800GT, and added copper RAMsinks, I can not put the stock cooler back on...nor will the NVSilencer fit. The...

I am considering selling my 6800GT AGP card and motherboard. Any ideas what I should ask for the 6800GT? It's an EVGA from what I remember...does 420 core all day long...copper RAMsinks Arctic Silver epoxied and (most likely) a Zalman cooler attached. I did a quick price check but 99% of...

Hello folks, I recently upgraded my AGP 6800GT to a nifty 7800GT (along with a MB change of course) and I now have my old 6800GT just sitting here staring at me begging to be dropping in my HTPC. The problem I have is that I run a watercooled main rig, therefore I, of course, watercooled...

OK guys... I have an Athlon 64 3200+ Northie running prime stable at 2.6Ghz using my DFI Lanparty 4 Ultra.... I really wanna upgrade to one of the nifty Opterons that everyone is screaming about, but I can not justify the purchase with myself nor my wife. If I were able to somehow...

OK...so I will soon spring for all that is necessary to go PCIe...I plan on purchasing a CPU, SLI MB and 7800 GT. I have a few questions... #1 Would I be better served picking up an Opteron 146 that seems to be the rage...most seem to hit 2.9-3.0 ghz with ease...$150-$165 or so... or would...

As I read through review after review (including the one here at HARD|OCP), my initial reaction was, "Damn...and I waited on pulling the trigger on a 7800GT for THIS?!?". Surely, the XT variant (that won't be available still for a few weeks AT LEAST) beats the GTX at a few benches...but NOT...

With the recent re-paper launch of the Crossfire, I question ATI's ability to continue as a company. How in the HELL can a company paper lauch a product in May, only to RE-PAPER LAUNCH it in September? Today I dumped my ATI stock (at a loss, luckily it was ver minimal) and I would...

When I sell my condo I plan on building a kickass rig. Please provide some suggestions as to which AMD compatible motherboard is the best for overclocking... I plan on picking up a dual core processor, a couple of 7800GT's for some SLI love...I already have 2GB of Geil DDR500 RAM, though...

I just got off the phone with VU Games regarding returning my copy of Half Life 2. If you are as upset over the requirement of an open client such as STEAM running while you play single player and you are having difficulty returning your software to the point of purchase, you can mail your...

As the "other" STEAM poll here was pretty weak, giving only 2 options, and considering that most of us have other thoughts on STEAM than "yes HL2 works" or "no HL2 doesnt work", I figured I would add this poll. Please note you can choose multiple answers....and be honest.
