Selling off some old but well-cared-for equipment. I'd give a bit of a deal to someone who wants both. Noctua NH-U12P for socket 775 but according to the website can be used on socket 1366 or 1155, etc as well with some connectors for about $10. $40 Gigabyte P35-DS4 v2.1 (fully updated BIOS...

So this may have been asked before but I've googled like a madman and can't seem to find anything definitive. I just bought my 2600k+mobo. I'm working on oc'ing it. So some folks seem to use a fair amount of LLC and a bit of offset, while others nearly shut off LLC and use offset. I have two...

I have a strange problem. I have been working on a network and installed untangle free version (7.2). I have two of them directly connected to the internet (ok, behind a modem running in bridge). All computers are on one subnet. 192.168.2.0. since I have a certain 2 varieties of users I...

I see Avast 5.0 was released...anyone know it it compares MSE and Avira?

So I'm sure this has been asked before but google (with me driving anyway) can't seem to find out how to format and make my block size 16K on the drive (RAID 0 array) before I install my OS (Win 7). Can anyone show me how to do that or even tell me if it's stupid to do that? I have a 3ware...

Anyone have a case of pfsense + squid + squidguard seemingly just stopping site blocking out of the blue? I have a list and tested it...it WAS blocking. Now it just doesn't seem to block anything anymore. Anyone ever see this or know how to poke around enough to fix it? Thanks in advance for...

Hi guys. I finally got lucky at work. They are letting me build an overclocked MySQL server. It's not a mission-critical system so no worries there. If it's prime stable for 24 hours, it will definitely be good enough. I'm trying to pick out the CPU, Motherboard, RAM, PSU, case and...

I have a possibly very very large InnoDB table in a MySQL 5.0 db. For the sake of simplicity, let's say it has 4 columns, 3 of those being email columns, like email, e_alt1, e_alt2 and the primary key is id. I've run into an issue that I need to cleanup. The issue is that sometimes there may...

I have a couple windows server 2003 machines on my network and then quite a few (probably 75ish) windows xp machines. Does anyone know how I can download windows updates onto say, a server and then have the rest of the machines look to that one for windows updates? It would help me out quite a...

I have virtualbox installed on my vista x64 system with win xp, w7, and vista 32 guests. Can I use the vdi files on another installation of virtual box that is on a mac with os x 10.4.11?

ok, this might be a little stupid, but I'm looking for recommendations on a 120mm exhaust fan for my Thermaltake Mozart case. I don't want something loud like a hair dryer but I do want a minimum of about 90cfm (88 would be ok too! hehe ). Any suggestions on the quietest best quality fan like...

Does anyone know the specs on the 120mm case fans that come with the Thermaltake Mozart Tx? CFM, dB, etc?

I've been messing around with pfsense, and what I'd like to do is create a machine with pfsense or untangle on it that can act as a web filter. I'm not so much interested in the firewall capabilities, but I'm fine if they are there. I'd like to also not use it as a DHCP server. In other...

I am using this HSF with their Noctua NF-P12 fan to cool my q6600 in a thermaltake Mozart Tx case. I have the q6600 oc'd to 3.2 (9x356) running on 1.328V and when I run prime, the temps hit about 65C according to core temp. It seems like anything over this results in prime errors. I even...

Does anyone know if there is a 64-bit version of Open Office 3.0 for windows?

Does anyone use pfSense in place of comsifter? We have a comsifter but the stupid thing will overheat (opening the side and kicking on A/C solves the issue but we don't want to run that all year!) and we keep having to reboot after it locks up. We are on our 3rd comsifter in as many years and...

I had been adding machines to our domain just fine and then the other day I get this below and I seem to not be able to add any machines anymore. I have no idea what to do at this point...can anyone lend me a hand/brain? This is what I get: The error was: "DNS name does not exist."...

I have a Gigabyte P35-DS4 motherboard and am using a q6600. I have it running at 3.2 rock solid but if I go much above that, it dumps out very easily. I don't think it's heat because I don't even hit 60C using coretemp. On the motherboard there is a 4-pin socket that I have my power supply...

I just purchased a 3ware 9650SE-4LPML RAID card and am going to use it for my data drives...probably get 3 1TB drives for starters and make a RAID5 system. I have a two-fold question: 1. Can I add another 1TB drive later and make the RAID5 larger? 2. If I had 3 500GB drives and then wanted...

I do some help at a small school and have run into a problem I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some folks here might be able to help. We are running a couple win2k3 servers and one winxp machine and we are unable to see the shares on the macs for some reason. For the life of me, I can't...

I would really like to get a Thermaltake VE1000SWA Mozart TX case but it seems all the places I look at online to buy it have a pretty bad rating (or at least some really bad stories) on resellerratings.com. Can anyone help me out with a reputable place that won't charge me $300 for this thing...

I am running vista x64 on an Intel q6600 with 8GB ram and trying to use virtualbox to create a vista 32-bit guest. For some reason, the shared folders I have created never show up in my guest. I am using virtualbox 1.6.2. Any chance someone could help me on this? Thank you in advance...:)

Selling the parts!!! PC Power & Cooling Turbo-cool 510 SLI PSU $80 shipped This thing is built like a brick @#$%house. I ran my oc'd q6600 with a water-cooling system on it and the fan never broke a sweat. I have a bigger one now for other stuff so it's just gathering dust. Sapphire...

I could use some help. I saw a case here in the hardforum one time and can't seem to find it again. It is somewhat square and is sort of a double-wide design (no trailer house jokes here!). Does this ring a bell for anyone? I'd like to find it again because I think it's a great design for...

I am looking at the samsun spinpoint F1 1TB drives but on Newegg some people say they are terrible drives. Does anyone here know what the real story is? Is it just a case of a few negative people or are there real problems with these drives? I have a Gigabyte P35-DS4 motherboard, for the...

has anyone some benchies on crossfire with a 4870 + 4850? I'd be interested in seeing that. It seemed to work well for the 38xx series, if I remember correctly.

WD 640GB AAKS drive, $99.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218 Get 'em while they're hot.

I was just curious as to what choosing AHCI or SATA gives me for the setting the drives area in the BIOS. I have it set to SATA right now and was wondering if that was good or bad and why...Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this without kicking me too hard for not knowing! :) EDIT...

I have a Gigabyte P35-DS4 motherboard and I was looking at SiSoft Sandra the other day and it said that my Intel RAID controller was on the PCI bus. First of all, is that correct, and second, doesn't that limit the bandwidth to 133MB/sec? Man I hope that's not the case.

I have an old koolance system (pc2 601) that has three 80mm's on the top, two blowing in and one blowing out...I'm thinking if I tore off the plastic shroud underneath and changed the one fan blowing up to blow down as well, this might help....anyone have experience with this at all? Is it hard...

So maybe this is a stupid question, but with Vista x64, can I run one nVidia card and one ATI card if I have the PCI-express slots to do it? I don't want SLI, but I run a dual monitor system and thought this would be interesting but didn't want to hose my system and though there might be...

Is anyone else having trouble installing the 64-bit vista drivers just released by nvidia?

Hi folks! I am the proud owner of an MSI 8800GT OC and want to use rivatuner to oc it some more and keep the settings for when I'm in 3D, not counting vista's Aero (if that counts as 3D to the card?). What I'd like to do is in 2D (ok, when I'm in desktop mode) have it underclocked slightly...

So I think I messed up my mobo's bios the other night. It boots and shows that it recognizes the processor but the led's on the mobo indicate that it doesn't recognize the processor. I have a DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D with Athlon 64 x2 4400+. Can a guy (or gal for that matter...) purchase a...

Hey folks...been a lurker for awhile, but when my computer died last night, I realized I will need a new A64 and mobo which I don't know tons about. I am basically looking for AGP, socket 939, and decent overclocking abilities, nothing major. I have looked at several motherboards and am now...
