Also thanks for the website, apparently intels stock cooler is one of the most quiet coolers. With a 65w cpu and no overclocking I don't need much for cooling it

I have been researching this subject for weeks now in search of answers but they are difficult to come by on a newer case. I want to build a steam box\htpc for my living room. I want ample power on lower wattages and nearly silent. Build: case: raven rvz01 mobo: asus maximus vi impact cpu: i7...

if I were to buy a core i5 2600 with 8 gb of ddr 3 do you think there would be a noticable performance increase in games from a core 2 duo 3.0ghz with 4gb of ddr 2 ram?

I have looked for the answer to these questions everywhere ans it seems nobody asks them.

thanks, as for the ram I was just wondering if there are any performance differences. the first question was about running the old video card just for physx, I guess there is an option in the drivers to do so. I have a crossfire board so could I have 2 vid cards even if one isnt actually being...

I have a few questions that after hours of research cant find any answers for. My first question is can I use an nvidia 9800gtx for just physx if I buy a newer 570? the problem is that I have a crossfire board. another question is would it be faster to have 4 2gb sticks of ram so taking up...

I built a pc a while back and I am now trying to turn it into an htpc. I want a keyboard that has a built in mouse and is wireless I think the rii keyboard sounds nice....has anybody actually used it? it seems a bit small. the logitech harmony remote sounds nice to control my pc, 360, sound...

this is the same question just months later, my video card has always acted up, its probably my video card (9800gtx) but I have wondered if it could be my crossfire motherboard. anyways I wanted a 3 way sli motherboard so nvidia 780 chipset seems the best for that 2 cards in sli and a dedicated...

okay sorry if there is a post somewhere about this, I couldnt find anything. I was wondering if there is a product that you can buy that will keep some fans on in your pc after the power is off. I see a lot of people posting about their fans staying on afterward as a problem, but I want...

sorry a couple of things I forgot, I already have 4gb of ddr2 800 ram so it would have to accomodate that. sata2, I dont need a lot of extras mainly performance.

I curently have the asus p51-e motherboard, I was going to buy an amd\ati video card at the time but at the last minute nvidia lowered their prices to compete so I bought a 9800gtx. I am kicking myself now because I cant do sli on the motherboard only crossfire. does anybody have any...

and while we are on the subject, what speakers would take advantage of a good sound card I dont want to spend anymore than 400 for 5.1 and I see the logitech e5500 but with a good sound card you wouldnt need the extra digital decoding would you? do they have a 5.1 set with exceptional audio...

I know there rarely is never a "best" computer part, but what would be the best choice for under 200$? I see the creative xi-fi extreme gamer and the xi-fi titanium are identical in price but which one would be best? I play a lot of games, and listen to a lot of music and watch movies maybe blue...
