These guys from Subzero Norway are really going at it. Pics of setup and benchies in first post: http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?showtopic=667992&st=0

Looking for a CPU cooling upgrade for my HTPC with a P4 3.4GHz (550) a TDP of 115 W. Currently have the Zalman 7700Cu which is ok, but I feel there must be a more efficient and silent solution with heatpipes. I'm considering the new Thermatake Big Typhoon upgrade (VX) because of its...

Norwegian thread, but you.ll understand the benchies: http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?showtopic=608405

Friend of mine wants to play FEAR and asked if his system can handle it (9600XT, 2.8GHz P4, 1GB RAM). I suspect his vid card will suffer and maybe the CPU as well. Should he bother buying the game at all, and if yes what kind of resolution/IQ/playing experience should he expect?

Just got a DLP HDTV (Sagem Axium) equipped with a built-in Faroudja post-processing (de-interlacing) chip.The image quality on the VGA PC input is very good, much better than on regular DVD inputs, while the DVI-D input (bypasses Faroudja) is a bit noisy. Is it any point in setting up additional...

Yes, apparently I really MUST have two brand new hi-cost hi-end vid cards so that I can play yesterdays games with higher AA modes. This sensation alone will make me forget the fact that both 1x or 2x 7800GTX perform less than expected when it comes to new releases... still "balanced" quality in...

Throwing out my ass-sounding 4.1 Altec Lansing speaker system, gonna get a pair of decent stereo speakers for my desktop comp. These shall be two-way shelf-size speakers for near-field listening (speaker-to-ear distance 1 m), preferably with a linear response down to 50 Hz or lower. I haven't...

I'll be in Houston for a week next month, and I plan to find time for shopping some hardware/electronics with the US dollar being so weak and all... However, time will be scarce so I would appreciate some advice on where to go, compusa, bestbuy or are there better options? Looking for a vid...

Anybody out there with a Latitude C640 or similar with a TrueMobile 1150 mini-PC card who has experienced problems getting the wlan card to work properly (or at all)? I first OS on my C640 was 2000Pro, and the wlan never worked although it should work just fine according to the device manager...

Thanks for the review. I have a few questions to the authors regarding overclocking practice: Did you use the coolbits "Detect optimal frequencies" command or manual increments, or a combination of the two? If you used both, how much higher (or lower) than the detected values were you able to...

A current PC offer from the German manufacturer Medion comes with a "Nvidia Geforce 6610 128 MB PCI-E" graphics card. Anybody out there with more information on this card, is it a retail version or OEM only? Rumours are that the performance is somewhere between the 6600 and 6600GT, maybe more...

I want to buy a new vid card for my gaming rig. It should be able to handle solitaire, hearts, minesweeper and other free games that come with Windows. My budget is the equivalent of $10. What should I get? If you experts out there think that $10 won't take me far, I can sell my apartment and...

Now that I've finished HL2 on my home computer (btw the Radeon 9800 Pro did a tremendous job all the way) I've been thinking about installing and playing through the game in DX7 mode on my laptop (Dell Latitude 640C, 1.8GHz P4, 512 MB SO-DIMM 2700, Mobility 7500 32MB). This will make the...
