    Questions On Water Cooling Industry

    Back in 2003, I got interested in WC, and after much research, I've concluded that the quality was not mature enough and the price was too high for me to try WC unless I do much of custom work. Recently, I thought I'd give another try at WC and did some research and found that there have not...

    Asus P6T problem waking up!

    Right now, I have my system running 3.7Ghz stable with mid-30C's and low 80C's on 100% load. When the system goes to sleep for a while, it doesn't wake up. When I move the keyboard & mouse, the motherboard lights up and fan begins to turn, but it doesn't display anything. When I hit reset...

    Too much thermal grease?

    Hey guys... I'm building a Core i7 system with TRUE. My system came yesterday and in my excitement to build the shiny new system, I think I put too much thermal grease (Arctic Silver) on top of CPU. I only had time to install HSF and had to go to work, but now that I think about it I put...

    Core i7: Overclock with stock cooling?

    Hello everyone! Now that Core i7 is (officially) out, I can start gathering my shopping list for a new rig. I am mainly concerned with how hot Core i7 920 is running, especially when overclocked. I don't plan to OC it alot, perhaps to 3Ghz or whatever fits for 1600Mhz front-side (to max-out...

    Mid-range SLI system?

    Hello everyone! I am considering building a new Core i7 rig soon and since X58 supports SLI, I am looking into buying an NVIDIA SLI system. Many reviews seem to favor ATI systems for $150 (per card) range, but I prefer SLI over CrossFire. I do NOT want to pay high price and get...

    Looking into a C2D Tablet...

    Hello everyone! The tax return season is here and I look forward this opportunity to buy a decent tablet PC for my wife. I've been watching Tablet PCs since Microsoft introduced the concept few years ago, and it appears that tablet PC is finally coming to a mature/fruitful age this year with...

    It's out!!! Shuttle G5 3200 for Core 2 Duo!!!

    http://sys.us.shuttle.com/G5_3200.aspx /drool Although it only has Intel G950 and not 3000, but who cares about on-board display? I hope it has enough juice in the PSU (ack 250watt!) and cooling won't be much big issue with C2D unless OC. Time to start saving $_$ while I search for...

    New Shuttle G5 C2D!

    Finally Shuttle is making a decent-looking case for Core 2 Duo! http://sys.us.shuttle.com/ModelsG5.aspx It's not available yet, but I guess it would be pretty smiliar to new G2 3200 that supports C2D - Not a stellar performance, but great-looking SFF. I know Shuttle has that bloated P2 for...

    Shuttle XPC repair/rebuild?

    So... after a thunderstorm, I found my beloved Shuttle XPC SS51G dead. My poor XPC has served me well and I need to either fix it or upgrade it. :( I'm not sure if the motherboard is dead and/or PSU is fried, but I am wondering if I can salvage the wonderful SFF case and just replace...

    More than 1GB (2 x 512Mb)

    Hello folks! I am trying to build a OC'd system and wondering if it would be feasible to have more than 1gb of RAM. Most oc'd system recommends just going with 2x512mb Dual Channel DDR, but has anyone done it with 2x1Gb? I am also wondering if it's possible with 4x512mb. Currently, I plan...

    Quiet HD recommendation

    Hello everyone! Sorry if this is repost (redirect info would be nice), but I am wondering if I can get some recommendation on the hard disk for my next system. I am looking at 250GB hard disk around $150~180. I was originally planning for Hitachi since I liked the product description (low...
