Guys, Does anyone know how the HDMI out on the Geforce 560/570 work? As in, does it carry sound and if so, does it carry sound from the dedicated soundcard and not just the on-board audio? I'm asking because the cards (at least the 560 as far as I've researched) no longer have the SPDIF...

I'm actually in pretty much the same situation. Have a GTX285 and was wondering if the 560 is enough of an upgrade if I game at 1920x1080. Actually, not to high-jack the thread (also) but does anyone know if the HDMI out on the 560 carries audio or just video? If it carries audio, can it...

too cool

I'm in!

The title is pretty self explanatory. I have a pair of 512mb DDR2 800mhz by Corsair for sale. I bought it from Newegg and used it for about a month or so then upgraded but ran out of memory slots so these had to go. Price is $50 shipped. I accept paypal only, and will ship only to the...

How can you guys make blanket statements about Thermaltake PSU's like that when 1) they don't even make their own PSU's, and 2) clearly, at least their top end is very good, according to [H]. Really, I'm not a Thermaltake rep, honest. Just to prove it, I decided on the Corsair 520w...

A little off topic, but if you're interested, I got an eVGA 7950gt for you for a $145 shipped. I just upgraded and was looking to get rid of it. This is the thing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130074

Alright, how about the corsair 520w, the same thing as the 620w so far as I can tell, but a few bucks cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139001

well, I'm not really 'dead set' necessarily, just like them. I don't really see any other 750-ish power supplies that has modular cabling and is also as reasonably priced. I mean, the corsair 620 and the thermaltake 750 practically costs the same. But no, I don't have to have it, I just like...

What about the 'lower end' Thermaltake toughpower units, by low end, I mean, between 600-750. The reason I'm asking is because they look like they have a slightly lower efficiency rating than the 850+, which seems identical, for the most part to the 1200w that [H] reviewd. Has anyone heard...

Thanks for the input y'all, but at this point, let me just revise my question. Will this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153023 be a problem if I keep using it. My rig: e6400 @ 3.2 2GB RAM Gigabyte 965p-ds3 DVD+-RW dirve 250gb SATA drives x2 8800GTS 640MB...

So, BigDaddy, I guess what you're saying is that, if anything, it'll jump to that 'low power mode' I was asking about earlier and not just *poof* am I right? I guess it makes sense, why else would the low power mode be there if all the card was going to do was blow up the moment it gets lower...

Well, I can run the games I want to run just fine, and don't seem to get any thing weird, so I'm not all that worried. lloose: Why do you say that 430 is not enough? If the card goes as high as 160w, and the processor goes to 65w, hypothetically, that's only 220w, that leaves 80w before I...

Well, the title says it all, just about. I keep hearing about people's 8800 series is operating in 'low power mode' or something like that. My question is, where on earth do you check for that? I have an 8800gts and a 430w, which meets the minimum requirements, and I don't appear to have any...

Up for sale is an eVGA Geforce 7950GT 256MB. The price is $145 shipped to the Continental US via USPS Priority with delivery confirmation. Outside of that, the shipping may be more. Got it from Newegg about 3 months ago, upgraded to 8800gts so now I'm getting rid of it. Price is firm...

Okay, thanks for the info. I ended up using AS5, just because I had it laying around when I was mounting the heatsink anyway. Great heatsink, btw, VERY quiet with the SilenX extrema.

Hi guys, I just got a new Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, and was wondering, is the thermal compound that came with it any good? Specifically, how does it compare to arctic silver 5? I'm looking for some hard facts here, not some AS fanboy-ness replies (because I know a lot of people like...

SOLD! I have a brand new, never been used or taken out of the package, Thermalright Ultra 120 for sale. This is the non-extreme edition, still one of the best coolers on the market. I bought it from heatsinkfactory.com and decided to get the extreme version instead but don't want to pay...

SOLD! to chino 182. What's heatware?

SOLD! I have a brand new Thermalright Ultra 120 for sale. This is the 'non-extreme' version with 4 heatpipes. Still one of THE best coolers on the market. I bought it from heatsinkfactory.com and decided to get the extreme version instead. I would return it but don't want to pay the...

Well, right now, there is a 120mm fan taking air out of the case, but nothing pushing it in. It's blowing out remarkably warm air from the inside. I don't doubt that the ambient temperature in there is upwards of 90f. There are also the power supply fans, but really that doesn't count for...

Well, I tried redoing the AS again, following the instructions laid out here, no difference. It's idling at about 52 as I type this. I ended up putting a bb blob in the middle, FYI. Thanks for the responses... BUT My question was never really about that. (hard to imagine, since I...

Well, it's that time again... for me to go into my PC and mess with what was already working, that is. Here's what happened, you guys tell me if I should be worried. I had a Rosewill case, which sucked, so I got a Cooler Master case, which doesn't. Now, in the process, I figured, I might...

That's the thing, after going through the EULA, it doesn't appear to address WHERE the program can be used. It just says something about 'if the software was purchased in japan, then japanese laws apply', or something to that effect, with much greater degrees of legalese involved. I think I...

Does anyone know if there are any ramifications for using software that's meant for another country? Specifically, Adobe Production Studio CS2, I saw a pretty good deal, well, REALLY good deal on it, but the software is the Japanese version and I don't know what that ultimately means. If...

Just to wrap things up, here's what I ended up doing to fix the problem. It was kinda unusual, so I thought I'd post it just in case someone ever ran into something similar to mine. I was in the 'twilight zone', as in that black screen with a task manager I talked about earlier. I put in...

I guess the question would be, is that a problem with the 2407 drivers, or the nvidia drivers? Sigh.. it's so frustrating having to wait on a manufacturer of a hardware to come up with something to make a feature work.

Well, as the title would suggest, I'm having a bit of a problem, hoping someone can help. Specifically, I'm unable to get the panel scaling settings to stick in Vista. You know, when you right click on the desktop, choose NVIDIA control panel, display, then panel scaling? Well, when I choose...

...have you ever had one of those really, really big 'duh' moments? see? what happened was... I unplugged the card reader and, voila! It came up... upon further examination in the BIOS, when it says HDD as an option in the boot sequence, there was apparently a submenu that I could go...

Thanks guys, for all the replies thus far. Regarding the BIOS; when I say fiddled, the only thing I did was switched between 'load optimized default' and my saved overclocked setting which, as I said, has worked for over two months. As far as boot order; default is HDD, of course, I forced...

Okay, I'm in kind of a bind and need some expert advice fast, hoping some of you [H]ard gurus can help. Let me tell you what happened. I have a computer that I buit, e6400 @ 3.2ghz on Gigabyte's DS3 (p965) running Vista 32bit. Been running it for over 2 months with little issues, definitely...

Does anyone know anything about this panel? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190092673141 The specs match the dell 2007fp, (click the link in the listing for a more detailed spec) so I'm thinking it's basically the same thing since I don't think Sun actually makes lcd...

answer = obvious? yes me = extremely grateful? Yes! Thanks a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer the question.

Has anyone tried to use dual screen or widescreen with a wacom pad? The reason I'm asking is because I have a dual monitor setup and an intuos 2, and the problem is that the aspect ratios aren't matching up and it makes the cursor movement feel funny. Let me explain: The graphire pad is of...

I was wondering, does anyone know if there is a way in Windows Vista that you could force a program to START using only one core in a dual core processor? I am aware that you can right click on the process in the task manager and get it to run only on one core, but that means the program had to...
