mY 6600K just popped in a power outage so I am in need of a new setup. I'm not much of a gamer, run Cities Skylines mostly, so do not need top of the line. Looking to spend about $500cdn. Will be just the cpu/mobo and reuse my DDR4 ram, 700W psu, M.2 drive and gtx970 Been a long time since i...

Hello Got a new ASUS Scar laptop with Dolby sound and every time I make a call, the Dolby setting changes from my desired "Movie -> Balanced" setting to "Voice". I have to go into the settings and set it back after, however most times I'm pretty sure it doesn't change the actual sound as...

Need some help connecting my 2007 Sharp Aquios TV with an Optical Digital output to a bose sound bar with a digital in. I do not know if those 2 connectors are the same or different. TV: https://www.crutchfield.ca/S-1Kj0hvCK48O/p_284LC42D62/Sharp-LC-42D62U.html Soundbar...

If I have 2 twitch tabs open then open a 3rd tab that has sound, like a 3rd twitch or a ytube page, the volume on that tab drops to what seems like 20%. If I close 1 of the other tabs the volume goes back to normal. I can also cycle through the Spacial sound selection to get it back. This is on...

Is an SR2 any use now a days, or is my old FaH rig now a very fancy end table?

My Alienware 18 power brick has crapped out. I've found the same Model number ADP-330AB D on Amazon but it has an EU Style plug. The plugs an easy switch, but I'm wondering about input voltages. I've linked the Amazon below, is it useable in NA...

Ff.org is no help, but for some reason I can't uploading results despite being able to ping the servers, and d/l and both uploading and downloading on another system. --- Opening Log file [December 7 20:59:08 UTC] # Linux SMP Console Edition...

Seems the last 2 weeks, my sr-2 has increased tpf by 45 sec. Running 27.54 now vs 27.07-10

So I went to switch my sr-2 over to Ubuntu, but Ubuntu can't detect my ide hard drive that I want to install it on. Yet its seem in boot order selector, AND its running Win Server 08 r2 right now. I even booted up the livecd, and tried to use qparted and the volume manager to find it but I...

My machine does. 3.15Ghz in vm non dedicated can hit or miss. Depending on my upload, i may or not make the deadline. Oh well. Maybe the 6105s might come back. Does win bigadv work?

I was under the impression that timer/lower timings were best for F@h. I strapped my ram to 1066 (8-8-8-20-86-1T) from 1333 (9-9-9-?24-34-1T and my tpf incvreased. Was/am I missimformed? Would going 2T help? The xmp-1600 profile is 9-9-9-24-41-2T Ram is Corsair cmx6gx3m3a1600c9...

So I've been ramping up my SR-2 and have it running at 2976mhz (175 x 17) \running f@h in a Vbox setup. So with 8102s, i was expecting in around 30-31 min tpf as per Punchys results that i assume were native Linux. However I seem to be getting 34-35tpf. Looks like Vbox takes 4minutes...

Many places have this thing down to like $140 and MIRs. I'm in need of a larger psu on a sr-2, so at $140 this looks sweet. But is it too good, and the psu sucks? I've read 3 reviews from '09/'10 but want to hear users opinion. Sol whos got one?

Both are the same basic case, but they are setup differently with the fans... And they will be the same price. Inside is gong an SR-2 with 2 212+'s as coolers on l5639s. Which is the better case? Construction wise and included accessories. Thanks.

I'm in need of 2 8 pin cpu power connectors, My psu is a silverstone da700 with a single 58A rail. I'm only running 1 560ti if that matters. I'm wondering if it's better to adapt off the pci-e or molex line? Or does it not matter due to the single rail This...

Running a vbox guest OS on my 2p L5639 box. Ideally I want to run the Vbox on the 12 true cores, and let the Windows run the HT Threads. BUT I cannot find, which of the 0->23 are Real and which are the HT ones. Any help would be fantastic.

So thanks to the 8101 my 2p l5639 machine is less useful than my 950 machine. Has anyone got any ideas why I'm getting load imbalances of 17-48% with a3, while a5 were approx 1%? I'm using a Vbox install of Ubuntu. Yes to kraken, bfs. Top shows thekraken running I was pulling 23 min...

With the 81xx BA, my 2p hex intel won't make it most likely.I finish 6904s with only 14hrs to spare. But my a3 ppd is horrible, i'm getting 5:45min tpf when my [email protected] is getting 3min tpf on 6985s Anyone else see this, or am i just right slow with dual hexs at 2.26Ghz?

Linuxforge image or Setup an Ubuntu VB via the guide? I've got the Linuxforge running with bfs, but can't install Kraken.. the LF setup doesnt understand "make" or even "sudo"

Got my dual hex running, but I think the temps are odd. CPU1 at full load are 55C, but cpu2 at full load is 65-68C. Whats odd is cpu2 gets better air, or sshould. I'm in a 650d with 2 140's exhausting out and the hsf blow up. Is thiks normal, or does it nee a reseat? Thanks

Not sure who cares, But today only, Opteron Quad-core 2360 SE 2.50GHz Processor: $49.99 But limits 1 At a, um Canadian store

I'm trying to find an approximate ppd now adays for L5639 (2.3Ghz turbo'd) on a board like the z8na-d6c. Some folks have setups like this on here, so what are you getting both smp and bigadv?

As it says, Questions on a dual L5639 build. I've seen cheap L5639 cpus, well theyre ES versions of the chip, and was wondering are they worth building up a setup using something like the budget Asus Z8NA-D6 board? I seen someone on here has one, with "upto 119k ppd" in there sig. At...

Going to buy a 560ti, but not sure how the overall cooling differs between something like an EVGA card, or the MSI card that doesn't duct out of the case. I'm using a 650D and have a minor heat issue, 5--7C on my 4.0Ghz oc at 83C, so I'd like as cool as possible. Anyone know of any...

Time to replace my 260's, and with 1 fermi making nearly what my 2 260's do with half the power and heat, its time to think upgrade. So do the numbers justify a new 560 vs a clearout 460? Everyone has $30 mirs on 460s, and 786meg 460s can be had in the $150 range. This is a purely...

Well, I need more cooling in my 650D, so I'm thinking about doing dual 140mm on top. No idea on Fans, so I'm looking for some good choices for fans. I'm in Canada, and if they're worth the money, then price can be high... i.e. Noctua has 140mm for 24 bucks vs most at $12. Also thinking of...

Anyone try one of theses http://www.swiftech.com/h2o-220-edge.aspx A cdn store has $100 off at $199.. Not sure if I want a full on loop yet, but more than a H50/70 The 650D isn't that great of an aircool case, and I'm running 80C almost F@H'ing

Trying to figure out whats best.... Before i rip out my hsf, nh-u12d, I want to know which way is it best to point the fan. I have it currently exhausting out the top 240mm. But looking, the intake is a coupe inches from my gtx260. So just wondering how others have simular hsf setup.

As the title says, My ud3r won't reboot on a bsod.... I have it set to in the os, x64 vista. Is there a setting in the bios? Thanks.

Thinking of new fermi cards, but looking at them, how do you get fresh cool air to them with the intake fan in the middle of the shrouding? My 260s intake at the ends and the top card runs 10C warmer than the bottom card. I can figure out how a mid fan card stays cool.

Going to start pushing mny 950, but worried about high temps. What are too high of temps? 70, 80s?? And by core temp or speedfan or RealTemp Thanks

Anyone have any ideas on how to get something for my bfg 260 that crapped out on me this morning? Or am i totally boned?

Well, i was prertty much gonna get a p6x58d-e but stupid newegg has put the ftw3 on for 264.99 and evga has a 30mir, so eventually it'll come out to about 240. Yha i don't need the ftw3 features, but at the price is it a better option thahn a x58d-e and ud3r? thanks

Hello...I'm building up an i7 950 build, and am stumped on a decent $250cdn range mobo. Catch is I also am going to use a nh-d14 that was free with the 950. I like the evga boards, sli3 or ftw. But the new 8 pin spot on the sli3 means i need an extension cable, and the ftw heatsink...
