I was at Best Buy yesterday and they have the Kuhler 620 on clearance for $41.99, price on their website still shows $59.99 so this may be YMMV. Amazon still has it at $58 bucks. Pretty slick deal on an entry level AIO water system. I might roll back over there and grab another for my XFX 5850...

I have an old school Zalman 9500, picked it up about 5+ years ago and it's lasted through AM2, AM3, and now onto AM3+ and still kicking. Sadly with the recent FX6300 purchase it's not quite up to snuff. I know the edition I have was never intended to last through this many sockets but props...

As the title says I just upgraded to a 970A-UD3 with a FX-6300. So far overclocking has been pretty good, but seems that I hit a wall at 4.8Ghz @ 1.5v. Looking at reviews and opinions it seems the only complaint about this board is the VRM sink is a little inadequate. I came from a Gigabyte...

I was at Best Buy yesterday and noticed that they have 20% off all WD harddrives this week. The 300Gb Velociraptor is $223.99 before discount I believe unless the tag reflects that discount already, if so then this deal is [cold]. If not that makes the price around $179.20. I searched...

So I've had a pretty sizable issue going on at home that I cannot seem to wrap my brain around and is starting to become a massive headache. I'll get my home network specs out of the way so everyone knows what I'm dealing with. At my house we're running off Cox broadband, nothing special just...

Like many here I've been awaiting the release of the new Phenom 2's. looks like it should be a pretty solid platform to upgrade to that wont break the bank. Might even grab a 7750 to play with untill the price on all the quads evens out some. Just because it has the memory controller built on...

Those of you(like me), that missed the deal at Border's for this a couple days ago might want to jump on this. Credit goes to tashayar at SD for the post. Take note this is the [BBC] version with David Attenborough. :cool: Price - $19.99 Original post on SD. Deal is Dead!! Price is...

Looking for a graphics card for my old man, he doesn't really play anything right now besides Tiger Woods '06(but may pick up on other games if he can run them). Sad thing is that he's stuck at the end of the story mode because the on-board 6100 graphics bite the big one whenever the last match...

Just thought that I would share my most recent RMA experience. I've had a 7900GT KO 512mb since they came out in '06. Definitely put it through its paces, I had a TR HR-03 on it for awhile and was able to clock it pretty high and never had any troubles. When I got my 8800GT 512mb last...

Well, It's about that time of year again. My 4400+ Toledo is showing its age and DDR is way too expensive. Its time to swap motherboards and throw a new chip in. I've been eyeing that AM2 Black Edition deal that’s dirt-cheap right now ($72). But have been telling myself to go c2d for my next...

Ok, I once again need the advice of the all knowing collective of [H]ard. Tomorrow is my last "step-up" eligibility day. I was kind of hoping the new SKU would launch already but was not expecting it at the same time. My choices are pretty limited at least. I paid $232 for my 8800GT almost...

I'm looking for a 3g aircard for my friend, he's out in the boonies and stuck with craptastic Hughesnet for service. Now with the cheap alternative that the GoPhone offers for data services this looks like this is the way for him to go to get decent internet connection. I know you can get...

For the last 30 days I've been a happy owner of an eVGA 8800GT 512mb. Great card and barely flinches at the games I've thrown at her (CoD4, Bioshock, LoTRO, SupCom). However the launch of the 9800GX2 and the extended 120-day step-up caused my eyebrow to rise up a little. With falling prices I'm...

I know this sounds quite unbelievible... But some of the memory I've come into contact within the last 4 years has been on a ticking time bomb and has become corrupt within the last month or so! The first, a friends system I built just over a year ago. AMD 3200+ Socket 939 w/ 2x1Gb Patriot...

Can you update the F6 SATA Drivers after Windows Install? I think I used the wrong ones off the CD and cannot burn DVDs w/ my LG Sata burner. further details here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1191080

Allright guys... I've lost too much hair on this one. This all started about a month ago when my HP DVD burner stopped burning DVD's. Burn process fails at about 4% on movies, but it still burnt audio CD's just fine and the lightscribe even worked still! Not such a big deal I thought, in my...

Heres an interesting situation, I got invited to Alpha test an new game comming out and even though I meet the minimum specs. When I start the launcher it says I fail to meet the hardware requirements and it shuts down... Is there anyway we can trick Windows into thinking I have an FX-60? I...

So I've been building systems for almost eight years now and pieced together thousands at HP/ Compaq... but I'm stumped, in the last year I've built three systems w/ Cooler Master cases and all Centurions(two MiniBTX's and a Centurion 5) and each of them had one of these buggers in the...

Hey mods, I have a worklog up in the cases & modding section which the thread title was tagged as inappropriate and was hoping someone would change it please... ;) The thread is "Project: Cheap A** Mod", the new project name is "Project: El Chupacabra(A.K.A. Brock Samson)". Thanks a...

Project El Chupacabra Well after pwning my Dremel XPR for a year, its time to rip it up! :eek: I'll be working on my old Antec SX1030B and its in need of some serious mutilation(hmmm?)... As well as a full interior and exterior auto grade paint job. :D Plans are to throw in...

Looks like since I took my time with my upgrade the last thread went to the gutter real quick. So to hell with ramen... Hoo Rah! for Shaders. As you can see I am back with a vengence here and that had to be the easiest install ever!:D What a jump! Anyways everything went real smooth, of...

Well I finally did it... I can finally jump back into the current gen of things. As I write this I am waiting for Newegg to deliver some of my new toys. Monarch should be tomarrow, and I will have my work cut out for me. Here is what I am getting for my box: CPU:AMD Opteron 146...

I'm finally upgrading this weekend, got all my [H] stuff picked out, should I get a 7900 GT KO or a 7800GTX(going w/ one card for now)? Specificly what is NVIDIA UltraShadow II technology? Or more specifficly why do I need it? Are the GT series cards still good enough for all the massive...

Well I'm finally biting the bullet, gonna finally step in the 64 realm... What do you guys think of a Mobo+CPU+Vidieo Card for 400 bux... Be honest let me now how this looks. All recomendations are appreciated. I know i can go 939, Sli, and dual core... ect. Which would be nice and all...

:D So I have been a member since December of '00, remember all those WinXP case badges FS/T? Not sure if its a good thing if ya do or not, but yea thats me. Well anyhow make a short story shorter, I hadn't logged in for bout 2 years, hadn't really had the need to. Untill a few(4-5) of months...

Here's the deal, I think my setup is gettin ragedy as a MoFo. It's about time to hang up the old 1.4 T-bird and my Leadtek GeForce4 4400128mb(<----I'll miss you guys...) and my SDRAM(<---I'll send you a post card from DDR land...maybe). But I am having a hell of a time deciding wether or not to...

Ok so I'm putting this computer together for my friend. As I've done so for so many others but after Windows XP SP1 install it locks up the first time windows starts. I can make it into Safe Mode though which kinda throws me off, I also tried my old copy of XP which also does the same thing...
