I have a linksys E3000 router,and it has been working great until I upgraded my pc with Gigabyte GA-z77x-ud3h motherboard. what I found out is that whenever I turn off my pc, my router wifi/LAN stops working. the only way to get the wifi/LAN working again is to either turn the pc back on or...

LAN on my Linksys E3000 is very fast but wifi N is slow. copying a 4GB file from WLAN (Intel Wifi 1000) to LAN is about 5MBps, using 2.4GHz and disabling UPnP. reset and reboot do not help. is this normal for this router? or is it defective?

I have AT&T high speed (6Mbps). most of the time it works great. but sometime, links that I visit often does not load. sometime it just loads "This webpage is not available". I have to click links many times or fresh to load the page. Ping google.com is about 35ms are there any settings on...

I just bought AT&T microcell which has no manual configuration. how do I connect microcell to the router with static network config shown below? Network diagram: hotspot->PC wifi->PC NIC->Router->WDTV/Laptop/etc Wireless ICS NIC on Desktop (connected to 3G hotspot) is set to ICS and it...

I used afterburner and overclocked PNY GTX 460 to 852MHz and play SC2 for a few mintues without any issue. how do you know what max core clock you can overclock to? is 852MHz (26% increase from 675MHz) is too low?

Starcraft 2 used to use 100% of my old GTX 250 but it now uses only 35% of my new GTX 460. I heard that SC2 uses alot of CPU. it is kind of a waste to upgrade to 460 with this low GPU usage. is there any way to increase GPU usage?

I just downloaded and install the new Firmware Version: 1.0.02. I read the release note and it mentioned that the new version includes Web Guess configuration. but I could not find this setting any where in the web UI. or I misunderstood and guess account can only be managed in software?

at idle, it is hot. more than comfort warm for sure. definitely hotter than my old WRT45GS. is this normal? how hot is yours?

Here is my network setup: Internet --->3G hotspot ---> PC ---> Router --->Laptop and WDTV PC connects to 3G hotspot using wireless PCI card with ICS turned on, and PC connects to router using PC NIC LAN port. Laptop connects to router through wireless and WDTV connects to router through...

HP w2207h definitely beats samsung 2253bw. now I have both HP w2207h and samsung T220 in front of me and they both look nice. I can't tell which one looks better. -black color looks the same on both -white color looks better on HP. reading pdf text file looks better on HP. it could be...

For those who are debating which one to get, here is the test result from my pc with Intel AHCI mode enabled and Vista 32Bit. 7200.10 was bought in Maxtor retail box Seagate 7200.10 got a click sound once in a while. WD3200AAKS is really quiet, and it clicks once in a while but it much...

I bought the famous Corsair 520w, and it looks like a high quality PS. One thing I notice is that at idle the 12v is around 11.920v (reading from easytune5). When I overclock my 8600GT to 725/895 (core/RAM) and run ATItool 3D, the 12v rail fell to 11.66v. That is 0.34v below 12v. my other Antec...

I must say that EVGA card stock HS/Fan is much better than XFX one in term of quality and noise. XFX HS/Fan is loud and does not cover the RAM. anyway, I thought that I am going to RMA it because of its loud fan. but I found a solution. I plugged the fan directly to a fan controller and run...

Here we go again. Newegg has Tuniq Tower 120 for $45 again. But this time you have to pay shipping. Last time shipping was free. for those who got Quad q6600, get the Tuniq as your side item.

I just build a q6600 cooled with Tuniq tower in Antec 900 case. I love it, I can overclock to 3.150GHz at default volt and up to 3.6GHz at 1.36volt at stock, it idles at core0:42c, other core 35c. at idle, the Tuniq fan runs at 400RPM my room AC is around 80F (or 27C). is the temp too high?

it is a decent deal at compusa It is SATA II but not sure if it is 7200.10 (5 years warranty). is this a better deal than Maxtor 320GB (which is rebadged Seagate 7200.10) for $60 from Fry's?

I got one. is it a good deal? http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16835154001

Antec True Power Trio vs Antec NeoPower NeoHE what is the difference in term of quality? should I pick one over the other? thanks,

I plan to buy this case and PS combo. anyone got any issues with cables? too short or too long? I plan to run cables behind the motherboard tray. thanks,

there is a good deal on Antec NeoPower NeoHE 550 ATX12V 550W Power Supply. it got $40 rebate. I am thinking of buying it. couple months ago, I heard Antec PS got issue with its low quality capacitors under high temperature. does this PS has this issue? anyone got this PS, it it loud under...

two years ago, Intel strugled but now it is succeeding. now AMD is in trouble. is Intel killing AMD that bad? what can we do to save AMD? no one want AMD to die. come one people, any idea? but I can't give up my core 2 duo. I can't just stop buying Intel.

like many of you, I am waiting for Q3 for the big price cut: Q6600 for $266. Quad core sounds great but from reading review, there are not much benefit from Q6600. plus it is less overclockable than E6600. Q6600 can be overlocked to 3GHz while E6600 can be overlocked up to 4GHz. many...

I bought a WD external My Book 400GB but was disappointed with the performance due to the limitation of USB 2.0 speed. I am thinking of the eSATA/USB2 combo solution for performance and compatibility. I am between these enclosures due to their high review from newegg: 1. Antec...

I bought a WD My Book 400 GB external HHD but disappointed with the bottleneck USB speed. I am thinking about getting eSATA external enclosure instead. Does DS3 board support eSATA? I am considering this external enclosure: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817106097

I got a Arctic Cooling AVC-AT5 Rev. 2 for my X850xt pe. it is a great cooler. here is the issue. I put the computer on my desk. if the desk shakes for any reason, the AT5 fan hits its cover case (clear plastic case covering the fan) and it makes a contact noice. since the fan is so close to...

I just back up my system by creating an partition image using Acronis True Image Home 9 and write to a DVD. I then use this software to create a boot cd. When I booted from the CD and got into Acronis True Image, the sofware failed to detect any harddrive (SATA). I did some research I...

after having the Saphire 850 XT PE for a couple weeks, I noticed that the retail box had many stickers on it with 850 XT PE reading. when I peel these stickers off, the behind label reading is 850 XT. is this some kind of fraud or is it just a way to save cost of printing/packaging? Even...

I put a little fan on the NB heatsink and plug it into the System fan power connector. my first gigabyte DS3 board seemed to control this fan speed according the temp. Due to some other issue, I exhanged for another DS3 board. but with this new board, the fan runs a full speed all the time...

1) what is the best DVD decoder for ATI card (850xt)? does ATI have one? 2) what is ATI encoder for? 3) what is ATI Avivo for? thanks,

I bought the Vantec VANTEC NXP-301 to quiet 6 fans. it turned out to be a piece of crap. sometime all the fans ran at full speed randomly. sometime all the fans did not run at all, which is scary. well, I am searching for another fan controller. Here are the two choices: 1- VANTEC...

what would the best looking and funtional system monitor software utility? I want to run only one tool to monitor CPU, GPU,NB,SB, Fan in term of temperature, fan RPM on one small screen.

I got a new viewsonic VX2025WM. I love the monitor. when I tilt the monitor forward to check the wire in the back, it accidently fell on the table, face down, on to the keyboard, like 90degree turn. the monitor is kind of heavy. I am using it now and see nothing wrong. the keyboard...

here is my rig: E6300 overclocked to 3.15GHz x850 XT PE (no overclock) Gigabyte ds3 motherboard here is the problem: whenever I launch Easytool 5 and Serious Sam II game at the same time, the game would run slow to almost freezing. if I kill Easytool 5 and run the game only, then it...

I just bought x 850 XT PE and it doesn't support High Definition h264. when HD and blue ray become popular, I assume that I have to use software decoder and CPU to play HD, instead of using GPU hardware? 1- Can someone give me some insight of this h264 and GPU? 2- if I have a powerful...
