I have been getting the parts together for a long-overdue build. I picked up a 6700K, Asus Maximus Hero Alpha mobo, and a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv case. I want to go with an AIO water cooler, but there are quite a few out there, and the reviews are all over the map on most of them. I am looking to...

I am looking to do a build with a new I7-6700K that I got on sale at Microcenter. There are so many Z170 options out there, and the site reviews and customer reviews are all over the map. I am looking for an ATX board for use with a single GTX 1080 and possibly an M.2 drive and 16GB ram. An...

Putting a new rig together and I will be using a Swiftech H220 AIO in an NZXT Phantom 530 case. The radiator on the H220 has the reservoir with a fill port on one end of the radiator. One side (the bottom?) of the rad is flat and level, while the other side has the reservoir and fill port which...

I have an older desktop system that I want to upgrade from XP to Win7. I think the existing hard drive might be bad as I am unable to get Win7 to install. I would like to temporarily swap out for a different hard drive in order to see if Win7 will successfully install on the other drive. I want...

I am looking to complete a build and I have been giving the SS-760XP serious consideration. Is the SS-760XP that much better than the G-750? I realise that it is Platinum and fully modular and has a better fan, but is it that much better to justify the price difference between the two ($170...

Yesterday, September 26, 2012, I updated my Spybot 1.6.2 as I do every Wednesday. I usually choose the Giganet mirror from the list of update sites, but it was not on the list yesterday so I chose SecurityWonks.net#1 (USA). There was only 1 file listed which was a 2MB file, which I downloaded...

I have an older Dell laptop (Inspiron 4150: 10+ years old) and it has an onboard 3com 10/100 ethernet adapter. I recently switched to a Doccis 3.0 modem from Comcast and the laptop doesn't seem to get along with it too well. Are there any options for me to be able to get a Gigabit ethernet...

I recently added memory to an older system I have and it will no longer run at the overclocked settings that it has had for the past 5+ years. The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-8INXP, which uses the E7205 chipset with ICH4. The cpu is an Intel Northwood 2.66Ghz (20x133fsb stock) that I have had...

I have noticed that when I am on Youtube for any length of time, my memory use goes nuts. With just that single tab open in IE7 on XP sp3, the 1GB of ram in my older system shoots up to the point where there is only between 5-50 MB left with the page file use at anywhere from 1-1.65GB. Task...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A couple of years ago I made a slipstreamed XP disc with Nlite in order to incorporate SP3. During the process I had selected for Accessability Options to be removed. I would like to be able to reinstall that on my...

Hi all-- My computer had been running fine until yesterday. It was used yesterday morning and turned off, and then turned on later in the afternoon. When it was turned on it could not boot into Windows. It gets to the point where the devices are listed, but at the bottom of the screen it has "a...

With the recent anniversary of Quake, I wanted to install the original and fire it up for the first time in years. It appears to have been lost as I have the 2 mission packs for it, but not the game itself. Is it still possible to purchase a new Quake CD and if so where can I find it?

I recently purchased a Sapphire Radeon HD 3850 AGP card for an older system I have. It will replace an MSI Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition card in an Intel P4 3.0 ghz system that uses the Intel E7205 chipset on the mobo (circa 2005, around the time of the P45 chipset??).. My question is which...

I bought my Sony CPD-G520P 21" CRT monitor new back in July 2003 and it has been a great piece of technology. The only problem that I have ever had with it was about a year ago when text started to get slightly fuzzy and there would be faint white lines that ran slightly diagonally up from left...

I have an ATI X800 XT PE AGP card and want to know which is the best version of the older non-Catalyst Control Center control panels for ATI cards. I don't want the .Net install that is required for CCC and my card is too old to use a lot of the features that the newer CCC provide.

I recently installed a new WD 320GB SE16 SATA drive into an older system (Gigabyte GA-8INXP mobo with Silicon Image 3112 chip on board for SATA)to replace a failing 5+ year old WD 120GB IDE drive. I installed the new drive on the SATA connector and installed XP pro on it. After install was done...

The setup I have been using for 5+ years now consists of a Gigabyte GA-8INXP motherboard and a Western Digital WD1200JB 120 GB IDE drive. The WD drive is getting ready to tank on me and I was thinking of going SATA to replace the WD with. The Gigabyte motherboard is based on the Intel E7205...

Unlike Doom 3 and other ID based games, there is no built in timedemo in Quake 4. What is the best way to benchmark it? How does the [H] bench it?

I currently have a Toshiba DVD Rom and an old Sony 10x cd burner. I just picked up a Plextor PX-716A DVD/CD burner. Is there any reason to keep it a two drive setup (Plextor and Toshiba DVD rom) or can I just run the Plextor alone and let it do everything?

What is involved with doing an Audigy 2 driver update? The driver I currently use is dated Jan 2003 and I was curious if steps similar to video card driver updates were needed with the sound card, or if sound card driver updates were more simple to do. Do I need to do a thorough driver removal...

For anyone still looking for one, Best Buy has them in stock on shelves today. I was in the White Marsh, Maryland store this afternoon and they had 6 of them on the shelves in enormous plastic cases. Talk about anti-theft measures, those things weigh a ton! Enjoy!!

After a nearly obsessive search, I finally grabbed an X800 XT Platinum! :D Problem is I forgot what the step by step process is when installing a new video card. :confused: My current 9700 pro was installed when I built my system over a year ago and I'm a little foggy on the steps and the...

My brother has deleted some part of Java from his Win98se box, and now when he tries to run any kind of Java app, they don't work. We tried to go to add/remove and take out Java completely, and then went to the Sun site and got JRE 1.42.03 and installed it, but it still does not work. How do you...
