Hi I just built a new gaming computer on thanksgiving and it worked fine until now. So about 1 month. On occasion it would shut down by itself, like it lost power, but the monitor would continue to have power and its on the same power strip. I was thinking that something isn't grounded properly as i...

I recently purchased an EVGA 9600 GSO 768mb for $60 after rebate. I was very pleasantly surprised with this purchase as I was only looking for a cheap video card to hold me over until I purchase a 260GTX or 4870, but it turn's out that this card is much faster than my 8800gts 320mb. Before, with the...

Oh come on poverty. This isn't the middle ages, and its not a third world country. This is the USA which was once the most prosperous country in the world but we are sinking into a cesspool. Any person in this country with the except maybe of the mentally ill can find a job and make enough money to ...

The entire system is broken. Judges, police officers, lawyers ect. I live in a bad area of town where there are many OPENLY known drug houses. I have on MANY occasions told cops about them and they always say "we'll take care of it", but they never do. They are either A) on the take or B) scared to ...

kb9skw please tell me how it overclocks with that chip. It seems the p5e-vm hdmi may be the only decent overclocking matx c2duo board out. I would love to have a e2180 @ 3.4ghz in a matx case.

Anyone know if this board will take a e2160 or e2180 past 3Ghz?
If so then this will be the perfect board for my next system.

Ive never been fully happy with my ultra extreme. I have a e4300 and at stock I get 36/34 idle and 46/44 load. Overclocked to 2700 I get 40/39 idle and 49/48 load. This is with a globalwin ncb at 12v. Do these temps seem high to you? I did notice that there are clearly visible machine marks, and if ...

Is the Asus P5k-vm a good board for this? Would uatx work in this case well? Ill also be transfering my 8800gts over to this board, and probably upgrade to a 9800gts when available.

Ok then guys. I need the best e2160 matx overclocking board for the cheapest price. I only want to get to 3.0Ghz. Infact even 2.8ghz would be acceptable.

E2160
GA-G31MX-S2
Mini Ninja
in Antec Nsk2400

How does this sound? Any blantent problems I don't know about? Does this mobo overclock well with this processor? I'd like to get at least 2.8ghz, but prefer 3.0+ if it isnt too hot.

I hate to break it to you but an athlon 64 would almost certainly bottleneck an 8800gts, and I'm certain that the reportedly 2x faster 9800gtx would be bottlenecked by that system. Maybe you should upgrade the rest of your system to a e4300 with 2 gigs of ram and overclock the $h!nikes out of it. Th...

anyone know what the full atx version of the fusion is going to be called?

I don't know if this helps any but my e4300 seems to run hotter than I wanted with my Ultra 120 Extreme. I was afraid I mounted it wrong because it seems to run 15c over ambient and this is with a 1300rpm fan and a 250mm side fan at 12v. I was afraid that it had a clear sticker on the base that I mi...

Dialed it backed to 2800 and Oblivion is happy, It seems that going up even 3-4mhz freaks it out, even when Orthos is happy for many hours. Guess Oblivion is truly the best stress test.

I got 4 hours stable in Orthos at 2880mhz. But then when I go into oblivion I get sound stuttering and the game goes really slow, I have no idea what is going on now? Fear runs great now, noticeably faster, but Oblivion runs like dirt.

I don't see anything that says 33mhz, but you can lock it at 100, 101 ect. and I locked it at 101 because I read somewhere that it helps it stay put instead of setting it at 100? And CpuZ does have it at x16. I upped the voltage of the video due to my findings and it helped! New 3dmark at 2880 are: ...

Ok here is some more 3dmark 06 @1800 Stock Scores are 3dmarks/SM0.2/HDR/CPU and superPi 16M 7617/3593/3619/1622 12:21 @2700 8838/3966/3792/2353 9:24 @2900 3570/1295/1309/2532 8:43 So SuperPi is getting better and better, but 3dmark takes a nose dive when I boot at 2900. Actually only the video takes...

At all stock settings ect. setting my memory settings and voltage to spec. and running 3dmark 06 (which I got to work right) I am getting the following scores. 7617 3dmark, 3593 SM2.0, 3619 HDR, 1622 CPU I will try overclocking again soon with the suggested changes, It might be speedstep acting up o...

Newegg has a advanced search feature that narrows down cases into atx, micro, middle, desktop ect. you should try that.

Dag nabit. I can't get mbm to work right with my ds3 without updating, which is too much trouble to hook it to the internet right now. And speedfan gives me these readings which are either wrong or very odd. Vcore1: 1.18 Vcore2: 1.9 +3.3 : 3.34 +5 : 4.84 +12 : 1.15 ???? -12 : 16.97???? -5 : 5.61 Vba...

Ok I downloaded every benchmark and monitor program I can find. I am going to systematically test this system until I figure out what the He!! is going on. I am crashing out of Oblivion every few hours or so. The processor doesn't seem to be very hot and the memory passed 6 passes of memtest86+ so I...

The 250mm fan is mounted on the OUTSIDE of the case, thats the secret, it looks like crap but it works. Its just a generic case that I put a big hole into. I also cut out the rear grills to allow all that air out. Back to topic, please someone help me figure out why my processor is slower if overclo...

Could anyone point me in the right direction here? at 2700with memory at 800 it is still much slower than at 1800 and memory at 800. Same for 1:1 ratio, at 325fsb I was overclocked to 2925 with memory at 650 and the same thing was happening. The first overclock I did was 266fsb at 1:1 ratio and I ac...

No those are fps in fear min/avg/max
I am getting about 15 fps slower min 10 slower avg and +5 max by overclocking. I would think that min rates are more important. Ive tried overclocking and running the ram at the same 800 speed and it is still much slower than stock! ???

I have been overclocking. I started at 2400 and tested it with the built in fear test and also 3dmark 03. These are the results, maybe someone can explain why my slower clock speed is returning better results? fear min-avg-max 3dmarks @2400 46-57-61 28938 @2925 27-49-70 16082 @2880 49-58-61 <after i...

I was afraid that it had a clear sticker on the base or something. I looked for one, but if it had a sticker it was invisible! Also it didn't seem 100% secure, like I said it had a little bit of a twist to it which made me feel uneasy. I thought about putting a washer or something between heatsink a...

As stated I currently have a stock clocked e4300 with Ultra 120 Extreme and globalwin 120mm fan running at 12v. It was quiet enough that I haven't fooled with it yet. I also have a 250mm fan on the side blowing on the heatsink. Thing is I toughed the base of the heatsink after its been going all day...

I love my 99' Honda Civic HX. I get close to 40mpg. Last semester I would put $20 a week into it as opposed to $40 a week I was spending on my 99 malibu. Maybe one day the rap videos will start sporting economy cars and all the sheep in the USA will change their tune. Before rap got big SUV's were f...

It was really short, only about 6 hours long, but it makes up for it by being one of the most original 3d shooters I have ever played. It has quite a bit of puzzle solving involved. Running on walls, flipping around, the whole game is like a roller coaster ride!

I ordered my new computer two weeks ago. Almost everything I ordered came from Newegg. My monitor got here in 2 days! The rest came in 4. The only thing I ordered from SVC was the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme. That was 2 weeks ago! This is ridiculous! How can Newegg ship something in 2-4 days and ...
