Hi I’m looking at buying a Q6600(G0 with intent to overclock) + Gigabyte GA-X38-DS5 + 4GB of DDR2 800 And I have been wondering what sort of difference there is between CAS5 and CAS6 ram (Performance wise). Dose having tighter timings help overclocking at all??

I know this is possible (i did it once on another board) but cannot seem to figure it out. Can you "short" the pins that are suppose to receive the "pwr button cable" from the casing's front panel ? I want to run this mobo without a casing but can't turn it on. I can short the PS and get IT...

Hi everyone, Hers my long story xD, I am willing to buy an HD 5870 because I sold the GTX280. Also, I am getting the HD5870 because of the support of 7.1 DTS/DD sound over HDMI 1.3 as opposed to the 2.0 on the GTX280. The GTX280 was smelling plastic on full load in crysis and at Folding@Home...

Hey guys, I'm pretty noob when it comes to this stuff, so bear with me. I recently installed a Powercolor 4890, and a new Vantec 520W PSU. The performance has been pretty bad, spiking as low as 50 fps in CoD4 and in CoD5, forget about it - 20-30fps. After pretty extensive googling, I have...

i know a fair bit about gpus, cpus and alot of things but not RAM. so i have a couple questions. what is this 1:1 ratio i keep hearing about? y is it important? amd's have a built in memory controller which makes sum ram slower than it should normally run. is this the same with c2d's? and im...

I will probably need to operate 3 (or maybe even 4) PCI devices, however, the new mobos come with only two PCI slots, any way around it? (I'll have the DFI UT nF4 SLI-DR)

So basically, I'm long overdue for a new build. I've put off upgrading for quite a while now; college is expensive ya know ;3. Long. Overdue. I'm talking AMD XP Barton core. Ancient. I've been looking at parts on and off for 2 years. But as soon as I'd work up the courage to order some...
