I don't know if this post goes here or in the builds section (so mods do-yo-thang if necessary) but I figured since it is CPU specific this would be the best place. I was planning a PC build for video editing using Sony Vegas and audio production using Presonus's Studio 1. Both are extremely...

Hey guys I recently purchased a Radeon 6850 and along side it a Coolermaster Elite 500. First day everything was fine up until the evening. Anytime I run a game (only a game, 3D Applications/Renderings are fine) the PSU fan goes nuts for around a minute, then it slows down.. then after 3...

Hey Guys, I just recently built my own computer and everything has gone really well. I am able to play games on max settings and everything. yet I have one concern: the sound my PSU makes. The best analogy I can use to describe the sound is that it is like the PSU is loading data, if that makes...

Hi guys, I want to built-up a NAS-system from scratch using a Adaptec SATA RAID-controller with 8 Channels. As the NAS will be running 24h a day it should consume less energy as possible. Usually I would tend to use an Intel Atom which is quite cheap and energy efficient, at least for things I...

I'm looking for people who have gone from an Xtreme Audio card or similar to a Titanium HD, and can tell me what experience they had. A month ago I swapped out my Razer Carcharias gaming headset with a Sound Blaster Tactic3D Sigma headset, and was amazed by the difference. I then swapped from...

Hello, I've never posted here before, but I'm asking around.. This is the last variable in my power surge issue. Could it be both? Every part from my rig seems functional. The PSU was shot for sure, but I had a chance to swap the RAM/video card to a friend's computer to verify they were still...

I'm building my own PC for the first time and I'm having a hard time figuring how how much wattage I need for my build. I'd like to probably go a step above the minimum needed just in case. Here is my build so far: CPU: AMD Phenom II 965 BE Mobo: Asus M4N75TD GPU: EVGA GeForce 460 GTX 1GB...

I have an ASUS XONAR_DG 5.1 Channels PCI Interface Xonar DG Sound Card and ASUS XONAR Unified Drivers 1.41 on Windows 7 x64 SP1. The problem is, I cannot seem to output 5.1 audio through SPDIF, without using Dolby Digital. For example, in the Audio CP for Windows, if I do a speaker test, I can...

Hi all. I have an old Yorkfield , Q9550, 8 gigs RAM, etc. If I had a high-end next gen video card (think AMD 6990), should I be able to play ANY DX11 game in ultra settings? Even 64bit Crysis 2 DX11, Metro 2033, etc. At least the CPU won't be a bottleneck?

Hi, I'm not the most aware person for pc components so forgive me if this question is bit basic. I'm looking to buy a new (quieter!) PSU for my PC, but the one I currently have doesn't not display its power in watts (which it what I assume I need to know), so I'm at a loss as to what to look...

As it says in the thread header, I bought an HP H8-1010T computer. The power supply in it (a puny 300 Watts) is a little underwhelming and I also have a graphics card that I bought for my old computer that blew that I'd like to put into this new computer. However, the Sapphire 4670 card in...

Hi all, I'm having a problem with my CPU running way too fast, even at idle. The fan's running ridiculously fast and annoyingly loud but I haven't noticed the temperatures increase to any more than they would usually. Just sitting at the desktop with nothing open, HW Monitor is telling me the...

Hi, I have just build my first video editing computer. So far everything's been good, but I seem to have run into one snag. I have a LiteOn Blu Ray burner which, in my old computer, would burn a full Blu Ray disc in 20 minutes. In this computer, it takes over an hour to burn a half full...

I currently have a 600W PSU and just added a fan controller to the mix. Now, my fans do not work properly and I'm not sure if it's a bad fan controller, or if it's a power issue. When hooked up via molex (through the fan controller), the fans "rev." When set to 100% they are constantly reving...
