Hey all, I recently had a clean up day with my little over 2 year old rig. Naturally, after changing the thermal compound on my CPU/GPU I fired up some synthetic loads for fun. Nothing odd to report with the GPU, but where my 4790k would normally take 30-60 minutes to ramp up to over 90C under...

Evening, all. So for the last few days I've been trying to resolve an Interrupt problem. One night while playing BC2 and Black Ops I was noticing some recurring stuttering, even during calm situations. I brought up Task Manager and noticed "System" (with the description NT Kernel & Logger)...

Hello, I ordered a new computer with GTX 580, Now my question is how I connect the gpu to the monitor which is Asus 21.5" led full HD ? As far as I know they both have HDMI connectors but so far I used VGA to VGA cables... So I need HDMI to HDMI cable or else ?

So I'm planning some upgrades to my build. My current PSU is a really nice modular 450W OCZ. I don't really want to have to buy a new one if I don't need to. Would 450W be able to supply an AMD Phenom 955, ATI Radeon 5850 on a mid/high-end MOBO and DDR3-1600 RAM? I'll probably do some minor...

I have a couple quick questions for everyone regarding the Windows 7 Family Pack. Hopefully someone who has gotten it can answer my questions. 1. Do they give you three different WIndows 7 product keys, or just one that all three copies share? 2. Is there an activation limit for the family...

Hey guys, I'm working on getting a case for my first build and I was wondering which case you guys think would be better: the thermaltake armor mx or the coolermaster cm-690. I really like the build quality and design of the thermaltake but I am concerned about the fact that it only has 2-3...

The evga 680i that so many people bought I hear is a bad long term board for overclockers. I have heard that is has electronic capacitors that do not like the extra voltages required for a sexy overclock. So since these capacitors are not designed for all this extra voltage which is being rapped...

I recently upgraded my Intel dual core E6850 to an AMD 9350e because I wanted to see what the AMD's are actually like and I was surprised at just how good the AMD is. Yes the Intel scores better in benchmarks but in the real world the AMD seems to be faster than the Intel. For example I found...

Hi, I have a X2 5000+ , and I'm wondering if there a software that can share the load on both CPU ?? Thanks

This is a two-pronged question, that i'm not sure many will know the answer to. 1. How would Intel/AMD disable cache during manufacturing? i.e. Say they have a Core2Duo chip that (at best) should have 4096KB's L2 cache. Let's say that 256K of that is non-functional, and therefore they...

Hey guys I have an older PC-60USB B2 Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case. I have used the case for a couple of years and was wondering how I can upgrade it for better cooling. I was thinking of replacing the 80mm fans in it which it has 4 of them and they all have different speeds at...

So I've got my fingers crossed....I ordered an E6600 at buy.com yesterday, while they still show a $339 price tag (on backorder, surprise surprise). I was camping the ZZF site till they shot their price up $60. Anyone else ordering from buy.com or have gotten their proc shipped from there?

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?) Neighbor has a dell 4300 desktop setup. This is the 1.6Ghz P4 with the slow sdram motherboard. Does dropping in a faster cpu help or is this system terminally slow ? Doubt the faster cpu's would be worth their cost. Any opinions ?
