But when has that ever stopped me?

AMD 5950x, ASUS ROG Strix x570i Gaming, Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme Copper /w 2x TL-B12W, EVGA 3080ti FTW3 Ultra(deshrouded), G.Skill Neo DDR4 4000mhz 18-22-22-42, Crucial P5 Plus 2tb, 2x 5tb spinning disk, Coolermaster V850 SFX, 4x140mm Thermaltake Quad Ring I really only built another...

I have a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme Copper that I bought in 2007 I think and I want to reuse it due to its rarity but I have to make sure it is not woefully behind the technology curve now. No one has compared it to modern coolers as far as I can find, all reviews that used it are from...

Been out of the game for a while but have been wanting to bolt an H115i onto an SG08 for a while now. Before anyone says this was not necessary: Overkill is underrated.

This image is directly after a fresh install of 2 OCZ vertex3's in raid 0 dated March 3rd 2012. This image is taken today February 18th 2013. Where did all my write speeds and access time go and how do I get it back?

I ask because every time I have ever adjusted that slider it has resulted in lower actual voltage and worse overclocks. Unless they're using a MSI power edition/lightning it really is a bad idea to even touch that.

I have been a little concerned about the temps my card reaches compared to every other one I have seen on the internet. Mine will get to 80c sometimes and I have never seen one review say theirs got over 70 honestly. I decided to take the heatsink off and reapply the paste and discovered some...

For sale is 1x MSI GXT 680 Lightning that I bought on launch day and decided it is just too powerful for my needs. It has the voltage unlocked bios and accepts voltage modifications from MSI Afterburner 2.2.3, have been running it overclocked on Bios1 at 1340/7000mhz since 2.2.3 came out and it...

I have for sale here is a corsair TX 850 PSU. It is many years old and was retired recently by a AX series. I had no issues with it apart from the wiring nightmare, it is still fully functional as far as I know, however, I will not warranty it apart from DOA. I cleaned it for dust when it was...

I have for a sale an EVGA GTX 680 2gb reference model. It barely saw any use before being replaced by a Lightning and I just haven't gotten around to selling it yet. What you see in pictures is what is included with this card(Nearly everything besides SLi cable, not even sure it came with...

I bought an eVGA GTX 680 FTW model as soon as they were available, however, I am currently not in the country so it is just sitting in the box waiting for my return. I have read a few posts about the FTW model not being any better at overclocking compared to a reference pcb and that is the only...

The GTX680m was just released on a number of laptops and is essentially a downclocked 670. No one has posted a GPUz of it yet though and I was hoping someone would be kind enough to downclock their card and post the GPUz results here? Core clock should be set to 720mhz unfortunately I cannot...

Why are the three most common packing materials disallowed? Are they just trying to make excuses for RMA denial? On another note, Inside a bubble wrap in peanuts was how the drive was originally shipped to me...

I have for sale today 1 reference XFX 6950 2gb with unlocked shaders. It is not a 6970 bios just the extra shaders and TMUs. Lived its whole life inside my RV02 and has never done any bitmining. Everything you see in the photos is what is included, the only thing I can't find is the molex to...

my situation is my sager laptop has a OCZ Solid 3 in it and I just ordered an OCZ vertex 3 for my desktop with the intent to buy another for raid0 once a new rebate comes around. Lets say I take the Solid 3 out of the laptop and replace it with the vertex 3, would I then be able to raid a Solid...

well the HD3000 igpu on my 2600k keeps driver crashing on me. Is this a sign of defective product or is there a driver issue I haven't been able to find via google? The gpu is on auto everything in bios.

Recently I switched my second monitor from my 6970 to running on the intel built in HD3000 stuff. I figured it would give me some more fps as I watch movies while gaming. Anyways sometimes when I wake up all the stuff that was on the second monitor has moved to the main screen. I keep the...

I am speaking of the internal PLL overvoltage option in my Asus z68 board. I can find tons of claims of what it can do, though not any of them can agree on it, but what I can't find is claims of safety. Will turning on this option damage my cpu much? How is it different than manually...

I cannot figure out what is causing this but my cpu keeps clocking down from what I set when under load. I have the ratio set to 46 in bios and when I load the cpu it goes to 4.6ghz for a few seconds then backs down to 3.9/3.8ghz. Turbo boost on or off has no impact on this. Googling...

All items sold Gallery of items for sale! i7 920 D0 $170 will do 4.2ghz but requires more volts than I like(1.4v+), spent most of its life at 3.6-3.8ghz and only 1.268v. Also it was kept nice and cool under a TRUE Cu or H50 or Cogage Arrow. Gigabyte EX58-UD5 $160 Includes...

I would like to test my new motherboard+cpu without taking my desktop apart do it. Is there a safe way to do this without using a case such foam under the board or perhaps wood?

Just thought you all in the mobile computing world would care to check out the new 9.5mm thick 1tb samsung drive. Considering it fits in a normal slot this is great news for us! In theory I suppose they could make a 12.5mm thick version that is 1.5tb.....

what I have for sale currently is an i7 920 D0. This processor will do 4ghz at 1.232v and has spent most its life there only recently being downclocked to 3.36ghz @1.04v, it has been happily under a TRUE Cu/Corsair H50/Silver arrow from the start and will come with an unused stock heatsink and...

Well I started looking at a simple laptop with a 540m in it to cover my gaming needs. Then I moved my search higher to systems that separate the cooling systems of the gpu and cpu because I don't like my laptop to cook my legs when looking at flash. This has led me to the G53sw, which I...

I am seeing a lot of mixed reviews. Some people get everything solved immediately while others have to fight with the company for months. Is it worth getting a sager over say an Asus G73/53sw? Basically I have my laptop search narrowed down to the NP8130 or G#3sw anyone got opinions on...

honestly the 2500t: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=52212 . It exists but it doesn't, I can use google shopping to locate places that will special order it for me but why doesn't everyone just stock it. Seems to me that it should have made the regular 2500 redundant. I just want one...

Basically I want to build a very low power PC for file serving so I can stop using my power hungry 4ghz i7 920 and I was wondering how important is it to get a higher 80 plus rated psu? As far as newegg is concerned there is only one Platinum rated PSU and the markup in price is $30~ versus a...

I can get 4.4ghz to post to windows for about 30 seconds and I am unsure what settings I need to tweak to really dial it in. I have lowered the ram speed to 1333~ to remove that as a factor. core 1.35v northbridge 1.28v qpi 1.295v (I went as high as 1.335v) CPU PLL 1.86v QPI PLL 1.2v...

When I first installed my Corsair H50 I was replacing a TRUE Copper which at the time was the best on the market. The temps were basically the same between both coolers but over the months of use the H50 has slowly gotten worse. I did try new thermal paste and it didn't help but I will say the...

I just purchased a D-Link DWA-556 wireless card for my desktop. It's PCIe 1x and the 1x slot on my board is blocked by a silly heatsink. I figured no problem use the 4x slot just below it but when I put the card in the slot the computer completely doesn't see it. No new devices of any sort...

Kingston SSDNow V Series SNV425-S2/64GB ^ These drives. Just want to know if they are to be avoided for any reason. They seem like a good deal and the rebate has a limit of 2 per person so sounds like they want me to raid them.

I ask because a computer I built years ago came back to me with a problem of performance and shutting down on flash based websites. Opened it up to find the cpu heatsink had been messed with and pushpins were now non-functional. Basically the computer had been overheating for months. pretty...

I purchased a set of DDR2 ballistx tracers for my C2D system a few years ago and they were nothing but trouble. Does anyone know if the DDR3 versions are better or worse or anything about them at all?

Up for sale are 2 $100 BestBuy gift cards received as Christmas gifts. They were both purchased by credit cards so getting a cash refund is impossible, do not attempt. I will require a signature confirmation of receipt carrier will be USPS Priority with a nice bubble envelope. $75 each...

Just a warning to anyone else considering this combination. The Trad2 was clearly designed to be mounted horizontally and not vertically. The heat from the GPU just gets trapped in the upper U of the heatpipes and never makes it back down to the fins :(. Saw temps that quickly reached 100C...

I have for sale here the bones to my old system replaced today. I have sold things here before but never got a heatware account because I sold things so rarely. I did recently open a heatware account under the same name as this forum it is empty though(http://heatware.com/eval.php?id=68858)...

just built my new i7 system: EX58-UD5 i7 920 Mushkin 3x2gb ddr3 1600 I have discovered that my system always fails test 2 of intel burn test. It does this even with large amounts of voltage. Should I ignore the failure as a false positive? edit: also fails when I use even tiny amounts of ram...

Because they said they would use lotes sockets. Nope lotes retention mechanisms and foxconn sockets. Seems like wasted effort if you ask me.

It was unlike any current fans that have the motor in the center. This fan used magnets on the outside of the blades to spin. Had nearly no dead zone because of this. I remember it had a silver outer cover and that it only came in 70mm originally though an 80mm was released later. Anyone...

An older computer I built is beginning to beep at me under load and I checked the temps. 83c! And that's before I stopped IBT. I was just wondering what the safe temperature range was for an older pentium. It's the 90nm LGA775 model 2.8ghz with Hyperthreading. On stock heatsink. I just...
