Hey gents, Question for you all regarding my i9-9900k and SpeedStep. My previous build consisting of an i7-4790k and a gigabyte z97x-ud3h-bk board using the resource monitor I would see my CPU ramping up to 4.4 ghz or scaling down significantly depending on CPU load, however this doesn't seem...

Heres a little background...I thought I did all my research before making my purchase, yet I still managed to miss something major. According to the antec website, the size of the cpu cooler can be no larger then 120 x 120 x 140mm....well I kinda picked the cooler before the case and the v8...

So my nf68-a1 (680i dual NIC) died on me, and I call up EVGA to begin the RMA process, the CSR was very polite and had me check some things before we declared the board dead (different CPU/video/ram/PSU). So I shipped in my board (kept my northbridge fan per RMA instructions) and waited till I...

so I think I have decided to throw in the towel on my 780i and get an intel chipset board ( http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1359907 ) I can honestly say I am fed up with Nvidia chipsets in general for the Intel platform. I love EVGA and their customer service (have been on the phone...

Ever since I switched to Vista I have been kinda unhappy with my x-fi platinum. I purchased the card before it included Vista drivers were included and have since just downloaded the xfi drivers dated 2.16.2006. This leads me to my question am I doing something wrong? The only thing that ends...

When looking around through my BIOS to find out why my Realtemp readings were so high (68 C under load) I came upon a startling discovery. The Vcore for my CPU on auto was at 1.41...being that the chip runs between .85-1.5 that seemed extremely high for the stock clock speed. My CPU fan is a...

So I was going to pull the trigger on a 4870x2, however with the Nvidia refresh soon I decided to hold off for a while. This brings me to my issue, I have an EVGA 8800gts superclocked 320 mb model which my step up ran out about 5 days before the 512 G92 refresh :mad:. I picked up crysis and...

Quick question for you guys, I just picked up 4x 750 GB 7200.11 SATA hard drives (oem) from newegg with the idea of building a 1+0 RAID array. All of the drives have a jumper on the jumper block that according to the instructions "limit to 1.5Gb/s operation". Removing the jumper allows "3...

This is a shot in the dark but it never hurts to ask.... I picked up this switch to tinker with, however the previous company that owned it didn't give me any manuals or anything to go with it. I need to default the switch because when i use HyperTerminal to get into it, it still has all the...

Hey blizzard, you milk us WoW players for 14.99 apiece a month, and with over 5 million players, you make 749,500,000 a month from us. So how the hell can you not even patch a game right? This has happened with diablo 2 and starcraft in the past as well. So next time actually patch a game...
