http://www.newegg.com/Special/ShellShocker.aspx?cm_sp=Homepage_SS-_-P5_17-438-027-_-06022015 Personally I use Corsair, but my friend uses the 550W version of this PSU and paid $80 for it at Best Buy (yeah I know) it's been a good PSU for over 1 1/2 years now so I thought this might be a good...

Today when I was gaming I decided to turn my fan speed up manually with ASUS gpu tweak. When I did I heard a rattle then I heard a vibrating sound. I turned off the computer and there was a piece of black plastic on the bottom of the case, it looks like one of the fins to the front fan came...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121840 Yeah, $599 isn't exactly the greatest thing ever but considering what these used to cost, this seems alright. I was waiting for a decent price on a decent non reference card. Considering retail on this model is $50 bucks more...

I had to post this here as well as you guys tend to help me a bit faster with things, and also are pretty knowledgeable. I'm at a complete loss. This motherboard has been nice to me so far but I decided to try my hand at overclocking a little since i've seen other users of this board have...

nvm

Hey guys I had a question. I am building my buddy a new pc to replaced his burned out e8400 rig. He is using an older but healthy corsair 650tx power supply. The motherboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128519) has a 8 pin atx connection and I can't get the thing...

I am finally doing a new build. New card will be an amd 7870. I have a 8800gtx and a hd4870 512mb laying around. Can I use the 8800gtx for physics? I can't think of anything the 4870 could do. I could throw it in an older system but it feels like a waste just using it for movies and stuff...

Hey guys, my brother has about 300 dollars to spend and needs a computer. I am willing to throw in a case and hd that i have around here and maybe a couple of other parts. I need a suggestion. What is the best possible proc for $100 or less? I was looking at this list...

I was bored and looking at gamespot for a release date for Persona 4 and I came across this on the main page. http://www.gamespot.com/users/tiggerboy/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25578816&om_act=convert&om_clk=soapbox&tag=soapbox;subject;2 All the consoles paying their respects...

I am overclocking my e8500 and for some reason it is hard for me to get it stable when I push my ram speed to a higher level. I have reached a sweetspot and got the processor stable at 3.6ghz but the ram is at 380 in cpu-z (760mhz) Now here's my question, it's stable at 3.6 but with a...

After getting a hd4870 today (an upgrade from my 8800gtx) I cannot get an overclock to stay on my e6600. Everytime I try to set one, I hit f10 save and then it restarts and powers up but nothing is on the screen. I've even tried using settings that I know worked before. Any idea's or help...

Okay I know obviously the e8500 is a superior processor in just about every way (to my e6600). I just was wondering since my motherboard (in sig) was made during the 1200mhz fsb will this new 1333mhz fsb processor work at the specs listed for the e8500. Sorry if this sounds confusing the way...

Reading about games people are playing is enough to give you the itch? Lately I have really been taking a break from games, not on purpose but just because I could find time or whatever. I may have been temporarally "bored" with them for a while. So I have been browsing the forums today...

Ok so basicly I was just wondering if I should worry about my wifes laptop I just bought her. It's an inspiron (however it's spelled) 1520. She leaves it on the bed idle or just playing music. Often it's on top of blankets or sheets. I was worried that it could cause overheating damage to...

I have a e6600 @ 3.25ghz @ 1.35voltage Thought it was stable and just fine for a while and lately some random reboots are telling me it isn't so stable. The CPU host clock control will not stay enabled either, although it saves the last value that I had it set to previously which is 360...

i have xp on my computer that my fiance (the owner of this account, actually) built for me. for some reason, ever since he first put it together, every single time i click on a .avi file, explorer crashes. it just says that explorer encountered a problem and needs to close. i tried to open it...

I can't seem to get the hdr and aa to work at the same time in oblivion. It worked fine when I was using xp. I have it set to override application setting in the nvidia control panel. Anyone able to get this working on there 8800 with vista?

Probably as newb as you can get to oc'ing with intel but here goes. Cpu-host frequency- 360 (X 9) What is my actual bus speed as of now and how is that determined? System memory multiplier = 2.5 So if I am running ram that has a stock speed of 800 mhz what is it running at now and how...

When I use easy tune for my mother board and there are no programs running it will say my clockspeed is at around 1800mhz, but as soon as I start up prime 95 and do the test it goes on up to 2.7ghz. If it is throttling down like it seems like it is doing then is there a way to turn it off so...

I apologize if this is a double post, but it is a good read. Go's into depth about how they are using directx 10 features and what not. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/crysis/news.html?sid=6163791&tag=topslot;title;4&om_act=convert&click=topslot

Just courious how many of you people have ordered a 8800 series card and decided to stick with there AMD proc? I was thinking about getting a core 2 but I can't afford everything it would take to make that happen, so instead I got a 8800gtx on the way (ordered straight from PNY, $600 woot) and...

I have done some overclocking and am worried that I might get worse performance because the ram is on a divider running at 183mhz instead of the normal 200. Will this effect performance at all?

I have been using onboard sound for a long long time. I have heard that there are benefits to using sound cards besides the quality of the sound. I heard that there is a slight performance increase becuase the cpu isn't doing the extra work. What I was wondering, is if I were to buy a sound...

I got a 7900gtx for sale it's the one in the sig, I had it up a while back but I couldn't get the price change in the title so I am making a new thread, closing old one. Here's a pic I took with my digi cam, sry if it's blurry my camera sucks. Still in case because I'm still using it!! :)...

Would I get better performance from 1440x900 over 1280x1024? I it wouldn't be even noticable but I'm just courious.

I was playing quake 4 last night for the first time in a long while. I initialy set the setting to ultra high with the resolution @1280x1024 with 8xaa( i believe that gamma aa and trans aa were enabled.) Now I'm not even sure if this isn't normal as I'm not really fimiliar with quake 4...

I'm not getting any answers so I'll post here, probably more appropriate anyway. I need to know how big a risk I'm taking putting the fan contol up to 100% fan duty in riva tuner. I'm doing some oc'ing and the temps are much lower on 100% than default. I don't want to risk the fan going out...

If I have my fan duty set to 100% is that bad? Is the fan more likely to burn out or stop working? I'm using the default fan/heatsink on a 7900gtx

okay I just need to know if this card needs a molex connecter or not it's open box and probably doesn't come with one even if it needs it. My fiance is running an x600xt and her sims 2 games are running choppy at times even @ 1024x768 with 2xaa. I figured a x800 would do her better, also her...

Or should I hang on to my 7900gtx? I don't have the money to just straight buy a new card. And how much difference is there in performance from a single 7900gtx to a x1900xtx, or x1950xtx? Is it worth the trouble?

It's the one in the sig, works perfectly. Still under warranty also I believe. If your interested shoot me a PM. No backup card except in my fiances rig and I can't use that one. Thats why card is still in rig. better view Can't find the pny box but can use the box...

My little brother just got a hand me down computer from my uncle. Its a emachine with a sempron 2800+ and the videocardis a 9600se. Is the 9600se a crippled version of the 9600? besides lower clockspeed whats the difference? Is there any unlockables?

I recently have been using RivaTuner to set my Mipmap LOD bias to -1.5 to make textures look better. I use high quality setting in my drivers and was wondering if setting the mipmap bias is costly to my performance or if it's worth it? I haven't seen any noticable differnce in performance in...

Got a socket 478 pentium 4 @ 2.53 ghz laying around that I don't use. 80$ and it's yours. Sorry no heatsink :( OLD STUFF- 256x1 Dell pc133 ram-$15 2 64mb sticks of pc100 ram- 5 bucks each. 30gb western digital ide harddrive- $15 480watt power supply -never used in box- $15 This...

Okay I'm trying to overclock a 4200+ x2. Its prime95 stable when I do nothing but change the htt to 225. This makes the ram overclock to 225 also, so I turn the htt up to 229 and it's no longer prime95 stable so I am thinking the ram is clocked to high. I lower the ram speed using the dram...

I've been having nothing but problems with purevideo since I downloaded it 2 days ago. Whenever I attemp to play a dvd in wmp-10 all I get is a scrambled looking screen that looks like a colored version of a salt and pepper fight. I do get audio though. After a few seconds it causes wmp to...

I'm using riva tuner to control the fan speed of my 7900gtx. I was wondering if setting the duty cycle of the fan to say 70-90% would risk the fan burning out. Do any of you guys use the fan control option? I have the fan always on option enabled.
