I just bought a new monitor and reformatted my PC with a fresh copy of windows 7 pro 32bit. The monitor works great and is currently running at 1920 x 1080 with a refresh rate at 60Hz. I also have another monitor running at 1440 x 900 in dual monitor setup as extended display. When I get off...

Bad PCIe slot? Bad motherboard driver/Bios?

6950 for sure. With this if you EVER wanted to you could go triple monitor display no problems with this single card where as with Nvidia you would need to buy another $250 card to do so. I always look at my buys on how I can use them in the feature. Xfx just dropped the price of their 6950...

Corsair designed these coolers (H50/H70) to be mounted any way you want for any case setup. So the position of the pipes should not have any effect. If you are idling at 50c on a stock clock you need to double check and make sure the pump/fans are working. Next make sure you have proper airflow...

Nice post. Lots of information and questions answered right there. Thanks for the help, I wonder if my new sandybridge 2600k system will do any better (after they get the recall sorted out by May)?

Well i just ran the WinRAR benchmark and got 1558 score (not sure if thats high or low). Also I know that windows 7 requires 1g of RAM to operate so im sure having only 1g extra for background tasks, programs, games, etc will start to choke my system. I multitask like nothing else always...

Friends specs seems kind of pointless to list considering im trying to find out how long it takes other people to extract a 2G or larger file using WinRAR to compare to my speed to see if I am getting the most out of my system or if i need to go back to 4G of ram. My comp sepcs below: Windows...

Just to get an average here, I think I noticed a speed reduction in extracting large files with WinRAR. I recently gave a friend of mine a 2g ram stick to use with his PC and ever since I have noticed a major performance reduction on my current system. Noticeably with file extraction with...

I am currently using a 19inch Acer monitor running at 1440x900 resolution. I am usually sitting about 2 and a half to 3 feet away from the monitor and was wondering if getting a 27 inch monitor would be to much for that close or if it would be fine? I used a 17inch monitor before i got this...

So most if not all P67 motherboards are being recalled? How come newegg stopped selling the CPU itself as well?

Ya, I just went to newegg today to re-do a price quote on a sandy bridge build and saw that Newegg no longer had any sandy bridge processors. Good thing I was waiting a few months to buy the new sandy bridge CPU, had a feeling this might happen (with new technology it always does) Wont be...

So I have decided to go with AMD over nvidia this time just to try them out, been with nvidia for my entire life so time to try something new (not to say i dont like nvidia cards). Also, I would like to run tripple monitor one day and want to have the option instead of being forced to buy a 2nd...

Ya i have read multiple reviews for both cards and have yet to found a single winner. Most reviews saying one thing and others saying something different. Im thinking of skipping all this madness and just going with the EVGA SCC+ GTX 460 and call it quits considering its $199 at newegg.

Can anyone tell me which card is better between the two below and why? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127565&cm_re=gtx_560-_-14-127-565-_-Product vs http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150518&cm_re=6950-_-14-150-518-_-Product

So im looking at another gaming build this time will a little higher budget and was looking into getting a video card that will at last keep me playing the latest games (FPS, RTS, MMO, ETC) for the next 2 to 3 years. Im not really a fan boy although i have bought nothing but EVGA in the past due...

Ya, sorry I already tied using the mouse uninstalling the drivers.

This has got to be the weirdest problem I have come across with computer thus far. I have a Razer Deathadder mouse and lately after a recent reformat my mouse has been randomly right clicking on its own and its becoming a real problem. I bought this mouse at least a year ago (if not longer). My...

LOL, i have a $800 rig Phenom X4 (2.6GHz stock clock), 4g ram (1066), and Stock EVGA 9800GTX+ and im running BF2BC2 & Crysis on high (1440 x 900 resolution). No idea how your failing with the hardware you have.

Ok so i was looking into getting a new rig something a little over the top. I dont want the "BEST" of the best but something close to it. So i was wondering what would be the best setup to use? I want to use the x58 chipset to have the option to use the new core i9 that will be coming out if i...

Almost a year now and so far the power supply is still running strong.

My first offical "How To" tut that shows you how to upload videos to youtube in HD format rending in Sony Vegas 8.0 Pro. I have many more projects to come for my youtube channel so please be sure to subscribe. Hope this helps! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C68kR7MVulA

You cant use fraps to screen capture. Only in video games.

Without a doubt... use screen toaster. ITS FREE!!! http://www.screentoaster.com/

Do you guys know of a decent HD video camera that is under $500?

By "spinny" you mean hard to install then yes it was a little tough cuz i was using the AMD socket so its not the best way to keep it attached but it does the job. It keeps my AMD Phenom 9950 X4 at 48C on a heavy load so its not bad.

Thats next, already have it just haven't put them on yet :)

Thank you for the link! High end budget build :p... nah my goal was to keep it as much under $1000 as i could and i just added up my total and it was $850 for everything including shipping. Just got my new video card and hard drive so i did a clean format of windows Vista Ultimate black...

Wow, thats really cool :) Nice work!

K now i understand you, but where can i get some heat shrink? Radioshack, Home depot, ....??

Aww now i see. It says it is heat shrink but im afraid to put a lighter to my cords, but i just used the right size and it fits nice and snug around the wires as it sits now except for the frayed ends. The kit i bought from new egg did not come with the little rubber sleeves for the ends to...

WTF is heat shrink? I duno but this is the kit i bought.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16899998041

I really dont have any complaints about it and it was cheap. I hear nothing but good things from Gigabyte and this is the 2nd Gigabyte mobo i have used and it went in with no problems and all the drivers installed perfect. Well i was actually looking at that one but i decided i wanted to add...

Im looking at purchasing a new video card and was wondering what you guys would recommend. I dont want to spend over $200 Was looking at this one... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130432 Tell me what you guys think and what you guys are using and what games you play.

Its actually really nice, i mean its kinda made cheap but it does a great job of controlling your fans and the color control is a really cool feature. Each channel (knob) has 3 colors that adjust to the speed of the fan. Color Chart Blue - low setting Green - medium speed setting Red -...

Thanks! And ya, i looked in my manual its color coded.

Hey guys, i was looking to purchase a new video card and have always been a fan of NVIDIA and never really liked ATI so what would be a good video card in the $200 range (not looking to overclock) My Current video card: EVGA GeForce 9800 GT (stock) Memory Size 512MB Memory Clock...

I just went by what friends have told me and they have built many PC's before but i wasnt sure on how many watts i would use on this build. What would be a good amount of watts for a Quad-Core & SLI set up?

Well i was kinda on a budget and yes i had loads of fun. :D The reason i got this PSU was for the budget and it was a cheap 700W+ (modular) PSU so thats why i got it, but cheaper is not always better. I did read up on this particular model and i found nothing but good reviews on this exact...

This is my very first build i did all by myself with no help from anyone and i have to say im very proud of my work and the performance on this thing is amazing but i will get to that at the end of this post. Im going to keep it short and sweet and just show a lot of pix. I am going to post the...

My first build (work in progress) Antec 1200
