Last two HDDs I had were WD 3200AAKS and WD 6400AAKS and I was very pleased with them. Now I have to buy new 1 TB drive and I prefer WD. As I see there are black and green WDs in Croatian stores. I would like to buy green one becouse I prefer silence over performance but I have read something about ...

Vicotnik is right

you must have same RESOLUTION / REFRESH RATE / COLOR QUALITY (16 or 32bit) on desktop and in game

Temperatures are 40C idle, 50C load and I touched the accelero and I would say that temperatures are right...

Warranty is 2 years

I bought new VGA: Club 3D 3850 512MB "overclock". It is factory overclocked to 720mhz for GPU and 1800mhz for memory. I've put Accelero S1 on it and now I got some questions. 1. Is accelero enough or should I put some slow rpm fan on it? 2.What would be power consumption for my card if original 256M...

My bro has Zotac 8800GTS 512MB (g92) which is here in croatia 25% chepaer then other 8800GTS 512MB (g92) cards.

It has no whine, and as said before it is very quite in idle but also very loud in load...

Its really a nice card and only thing that I dislike is 1 year warranty...

I just bought 4850E and I would like to know is the F3 BIOS ok or I must update some newer?

Also which one? I've read that this F3 BIOS is best so I wouldn't like to have unstable BIOS or something...

I just bough 4850E but b4 i install it on MB I got 1 question.

Atm I have brisbane 3600+ and "AMD Dual-core optimizer" installed. Shall I uninstall it b4 putting new CPU and then install it again, or I can just leave it?

Also how good can 4850 clocks at defualt voltage?

Mats wrote:I think an AMD system will be just fine for you, just make sure you get an AM2+ mobo, not the older AM2.

so 4850e is a good choice?

I thought of replacing my brisbane 3600+ with that 4850E....

every time when game has different resolution, frequency or 16/32bit colors then dekstop there will appear black screen.

But I dont have that problem with black screen. I can see another application or desktop but i cant control it for 2 seconds.

I've found a good offer so I bought it: Sapphire 1950pro 512MB + Acclero S1. I like its performance but there is 1 problem that I have: When Im in game and when I do alt-tab, image comes to desktop or another opened program but I cant click for 2 seconds. Same problem has my brother with his 1950GT ...

Here is why I dont need 8800GT: - Im not gamer (only game i play is dota(warcraft 3) but now in 1920x1200 so thats why i need new VGA) - my computer is 80% time in idle so power consumption is important (ati wins here) - I care for image quality and ATI wins here also - 3870 (DDR3) is 20-25% cheaper...

ok I defenetly go for ati. Here is what Im considering: - Sapphire 3850 DDR3 (162$)+ Accelero S1 (30$) - 192$ - Gigabyte 3870 DDR3 (176$)+ Accelero S1 (30$) - 206$ - Sapphire 3870 DDR3 (184$)+ Accelero S1 (30$) - 214$ - Sapphire 3870 DDR4 (210$)+ Accelero S1 (30$) - 240$ - MSI 3870 DDR4 (218$)+ Acce...

Only game that I play is dota (warcraft3) and I play it 2h a day while computer is ON atleast 12h...

Here in croatia the price of 3850 is 5-10% lower then 3870 so I guess that 3870 is a better choice...

My computer is in idle more then gaming... Also I don't use AA+AF which I've read that 9600GT > 3870. Don't know why but somehow I prefer 3870 althought I got nvidia card now and I like it @Vicotnik: look at this chart: http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?id=2491&cid=3&pg=7 seems that 9600...

I've Gainward 7600GT SilentFX (passive) with no fan at all and I am very pleased with the card but I need a new one becouse I bought new 22" LCD which has 1920x1200 resolution... I've read some older topics and I see that some cards has coil buzz or whine so I would like not to have that on my own c...

I installed the board..

everything is fine now except that microphone is really low and they really fu*** it up in realtek...

I decided... I will buy gigabyte 690g in 1h... I got one more quedtion but I don't want to open new thread... I will soon make a multimedia computer (i think people call it HTPC?) for my dad which will he then connect to his Philips LCD TV. So I was wondering will Abit an-m2HD be a good choice for t...

aaa I wrote wrong...

I meant abit not asus...

anyway... I went to the store for biostar but they don't have it ...

So shell I go with gigabyte 690g? (this board is very appreciated here in Croatia)

couldnt find anything about this biostar with nforce 520 chipset on newegg and that "rebels heaven" forum.

think i will get biostar...

my second choices are Asus am-n2 or gigabyte 690g

ok i will keep my brisbane then...

shall i go with "Biostar ,nForce520 (MCP65S)" then?

i was reading here about those biostar Mbos, but those biostar boards I had written are only that I can buy in croatia ...

also, now Im on Brisbane 3600+, but I will maybe get opteron...(is it good idea or i better keep brisbane?)

black edition is too expensive atm

I need stable, passive cooling, good OC ability, good sound MBO... (i dont need integretaed graphics or 1000 sata ports etc...) which would be best pick of these? -abit an-m2 (nvidia 7025/630a) -Gigabyte M56S-S3 (nvidia 560) -Gigabyte MA69G-S3H (ati 690g) -Biostar ,nForce520 (MCP65S) -says T-series ...

First I had DFI infinity ULTRAII-m2 It was buzzing so I thoiught buzz comes from coils. I've put silicon plastic on coils but it didn't affact (even thought I was pretty sure that buzz comes from USB/LAN "box"... you know where usb connectors/LAN connector are, that thing looks like box :D) Plastic ...

Fan is scythe's which came with ninja...

On last board (DFI infinity ULTRAII-m2) I had same fan and that board had 4-pin connector also but I was able to control fan speed...

I've sent e-mail to epox support and they've anwsered me in 12h!! (And I thought epox is dead...).

Anyway... they said that I need to have 4-pin fan to be able to control it...

Is there anything I can do? We dont have any 3-to-4 pin adapters here in croatia...

I bought new Epox EP-AT690G Pro.

My problem is that no matter is it set in BIOS for CPU fan to rotate at "full speed"/"by temperature"/"by duty cycles", the fan always rotates at full speed...

Also I tried changing settings in Thunder Probe but nothing happens...

hmm so you think that air should be going from upper side of HDD (where that stick with information is)?

What is the best position to put 120mm fan for cooling HDD?

from bottom where electronic parts of HDD are, or to put it on some other angle?

about this samsung 500gb T166 you can read on thread "four 500gb 3.5"..." which is right near your thread

anywa, that samsung is way to go in term of loudness

I can tell you this from my experience...

WD AAKS is much quiter then samsung P120 but I think AAKS and samsung T133/T166 are almost same loudness (which you can also hear on sound recordings in reviews... almost the same)
