So I'm looking at replacing my GTX 970, which is a Zotac Dual Fan version. It is about 20.4cm in length, and I have an NZXT Tempest EVO case. Which are the shorter GTX 1080 cards out there? The PNY XLR8 and Asus Strix are about 30cm in length, and will bang up against the HDD cage in my case. I...

So I've ordered 2 of these drives, any experience with them? Going to use them as data storage drives, replacing my old 2TB drives with them.

So I installed Windows 8.1 Pro on my SanDisk Extreme Pro 480,UEFI mode. Boots are a little slow compared to my laptop with a Samsung 830/256. Any way to trace boot delays? Thanks.Rest of the system in sig.

So I'm looking for a thin and light 13" laptop, with a screen resolution of 1600*900 minimum, and a budget of ~1400 USD. My choices appear to be the Asus UX32VD, Samsung Series 9, and the rMBP 13". I use Windows exclusively, but my wife has an rMBP 15" which she swears by. I was leaning toward...

http://www.frys.com/ads/page10 Good price for a good camera. I have a K-x, and I think it beats the T2 and D3100 hands down. This has the same sensor, 6fps shooting and dual Li-Ion and AA battery capability. .

So I'm ordering one of these in the 120GB size, will be ordering off eBay as we don't get them here in India. There is a 20USD difference in price, with the Crucial coming in a tad cheaper. What should I go for? Intel SSDs have an international warranty valid here (confirmed with my 80GB G1), so...

So I still run a Q6600+P5Q-E system. Works just fine, even after three years. Small issue though - if I plug in a hard drive into the onboard Marvell controller, Windows refuses to boot, it hangs at the splash screen. Tried with different HDDs (WD 2TB, 1TB and Seagate 1TB, heck, even an LG...

So I'm currently running a pair of 8800GTs in SLI, and I have a 4870 1GB lying around. I game at 1680*1050, with no plans of increasing that resolution in the near future. Just getting back into PC gaming, with Metro 2033 and looking to pick up DCS:A10 in the near future. I have a budget of...

First one was in December, second one on the 12th of this month. First one was with a fresh install of Windows 7, second with a 2 month old install.. Seems like a drastic decrease. System in sig, Probably the only change is an installation of Intel's chipset drivers. Windows boot times are up...

Installed Windows 7 Pro on my new SSD. It works fine for 25-30 minutes or so, during which I installed my graphics drivers, WinRAR and my Xonar drivers. After half an hour or so, no app works unless compatibility mode is selected, for Windows XP SP3. Windows Update does not respond, when I...

Hi. My download speed as measured by Speedtest is as follows: However, I don't go above 768Kb/s, HTTP as well as torrents. The connection is nominally a 768Kb/s one. Any clue as to why Speedtest is reporting such high speeds?

Usage is ~70% music, 30% games, with headphones sometimes. I have a pair of HD555s. Am getting the Essence for roughly 140$ US, with a 3-year warranty from Asus India. Worth the upgrade?

As above. Have an 8800GT, a little long in the tooth. Made a decent amount of money as a bonus in the last FY, would like to spend it on a video card upgrade. Rest of the system is in sig, what would you guys recommend as an upgrade? I can get a 260 core 216 for ~10k rupees (200$), and the pair...

Both are within 40$ of each other on Amazon. I know that the HV30 records at 1440*1080, and the HG20 at 1920*1080, as also the bitrate difference. Anyone with practical experience with both? Especially in slightly lower light? The HG20 doesn't have a viewfinder, and I can't afford the step-up...

Hello all! Just wanted some help from you guys for better audio. Problem is, my computer desk is fairly narrow, so there is just enough space between the monitor and the case to fit the AE2 left speaker. It's angled in, as is the one on the right. Will placing the system on a wider desk,i.e...

Was out shopping for a PSU yesterday, as the Antec is going into an older A64 X2 system I'm building for my dad. Was aiming for the HX620, but it was OOS everywhere here in Bombay. Picked up a TX650 instead, got it up and running. Right choice? Actually turned out a bit cheaper than the list...

As above. Was looking at the Asus P5Q-Deluxe and the MSI P45 Platinum. The MSI is almost 2500 rupees (60 USD) cheaper than the Asus, which is 65% the cost of a new 6400AAKS from WD, which I was looking to buy as a boot drive. What do you guys suggest? Will be pairing the system with my 8800GT...

P45 motherboard + a C2Q 6600. Needed for a new C2Q/P45 setup. Was looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231145&Tpk=F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231174 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146692...

System in sig.. it's two years old now. Planning on retaining the video card and sound card, but seeing that Nehalem is coming so soon, is it worth it? I know that Nehalem is going to be ultra-high end at the beginning, and I'm not willing to spend that much on the PC. What do you guys think?

Hi. System in sig. Both the Asus soundcard and the 8800GT are giving me power-related errors. 1) The Asus - stupid pop-up box with the "power connector not connected" error. Card is working just fine, music and movies both. I know this, because I had the same issue earlier, with the connector...

http://www.techreport.com/articles.x/14424 It's begun. XBit have a review up as well.. they couldn't pass ~2.7Ghz. Still, nice pricing. Kyle - ETA for your review?

Hi. A local dealer is offering me an Xpertvision 8800GT 512MB for the price of an MSI 8800GT OC. It's got a custom dual-slot cooler, and overclocks like crazy.. VR-Zone have a review up of the card. 3 phase power as well. It did 77 core, 2134 memory and 1782 on the shaders. My question -...

Just reinstalled my X-Fi.. getting the following error in XP SP2:tried it in PCI slots 1 and 3.System in sig. Message in Device Manager: Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19) WTF? I uninstalled...

Source is an X-Fi XM, standard drivers and FLACs/320k MP3s. Upgrade worth it?

I'm still on S939, but the current low prices on memory have me all excited. We're getting good deals on memory from the Egg.. a local reseller is importing a lot of stuff from there. I plan on upgrading to the next-gen Intel architecture or Phenom sometime in 2008. Is it worth stocking up on...

I have a year-old X-Fi XM in my system. Primary usage - music, games, movies (in that order). Speakers are a pair of 6 year-old Labtec 424s. Is the upgrade worth it? How much better would the music quality be? Source material - mostly FLACs and 256-320 kbps MP3s.

Hi. System in sig. I've got a dual-boot setup, with XP Pro and Vista Ultimate. The X-FI XM works just fine in XP, but I've got an issue in Vista.. everytime I boot into Vista, there is an exclamation mark against the X-Fi in Device Manager. I saw a fix over at the Creative forums, which works...

System in sig. So I installed the U120 2 weeks back, with a Panaflo fan, and load temps dropped 15degC from stock HSF to ~46degC. Lately, CoreTemp was showing ~60degC again, when running Orthos. So today, I opened up the case, and guess what.. the CPU fan wasn't working! My heart skipped a beat...

System is at 2.45Ghz, TR U120 with Panaflo 120mm fan, 1.375v Vcore. Load temps as per CoreTemp are 44degC. Ambient is ~30C with 80% RH (it's monsoon season here). Temps ok? Delta is about 8 degC..

Hi. System in sig. I have a dual boot with XP Pro and Vista Ultimate 32bit, on 2 separate HDDs. The X-Fi is working fine in XP Pro, and was all right in Vista until 2 days ago. Now, I get the error below: (with an X on the loudspeaker icon in the systray). Drivers tried include the latest Web...

Hi. I've just purchased a 40" full HD Samsung LCD. Should be here this week.. me = excited :D. 1920*1080 FTW! Anyway, since I don't have a standalone upconverting DVD player, I was planning on hooking up the PC ( in sig) to the TV. I've purchased PureVideo as well, and the system will be...
