I'm having a very strange problem with my new PC, and I think the culprit might be the motherboard. I built this system a month and a half ago, and until today, everything in it worked fine. I used it last night and didn't make any changes to it before shutting it down; but today, when I...

I've been having issues with my GeForce card not running stable D3D games with the new Detonator drivers under WinXP. I've done some searching and found that it's an issue with my VIA KT-133 chipset (one of many issues I've had with this chipset). I've tried different Detonator versions, newest...

I have allocated $80 for a video card....what would the best choice be....thinking about the ABIT Siluro FX5200 DT 128MB DDR TV/DVI RETAIL for $77 from Newegg....any better choices? Thanks. -Rick

Basically, my RAM is supposed to be 1333mhz but for some reason why I check CPU-Z and Speccy it says the clock speed is 665mhz. I've already checked the BIOS and it says the clock 1333mhz so I'm really not sure what's going on. Thanks Dan

Anyone know if the Antec PP352X (350W) has an internal rheostat to adjust the voltage? The +5 on my Epox 8K7A is too low and I think it's hindering my OC'ing efforts. If not, do any other 300W or 350W psu's have this?

If I were to change my power consumption slider to 20% in CCC would that mean that the power draw is at all times increased to 20%, or does it mean that the maximum power cap is increased if needed? Thanks, Adam :hello:

Can someone clear up this question I have about this chipset? I'm looking to get away from the x58 setup I currently have in hopes of finding a mobo with a good sata 3 controller. Does the p67 have an Intel sata 3 controller? I ask because I was looking at the Asus p8p67 card and it lists...

I just put together a new gaming system. I'm using a 500w Rock PSU and an Intel i52500k on a MSI Z68A-GD55 motherboard which has an 8 pin CPU power slot. The PSU only has a 4pin CPU power cable.... I am wondering if I should overclock or get a new PSU first? I read somewhere that you need all 8...
