    NVIDIA to Launch Three GPUs Next Month?

    How fun that must have been. I know what your talking about now, we have a tool at work and whenever you put it in the charger, it whistles. If you push it in the charger so the pins make better contact it stops. I don't think you can put the card in any further, so is it RMA time?

    What do you mean screeching? Is it more annoying than the rattle my 2400 has?

    CPU Cooler Roundup - 22 Models Tackle Our QX6850

    Is this good luck or what? I decided on picking up that Thermalright Ultra 120 to go with my new 9800GT and I didn't realize that it was fan-less. In the review it said it would work best with top-mounted PSUs with bottom facing fans. Well how about the rotated chipset of the M2N32 and the...

    Early XMas present

    You can bundle it with enemy of quick war and quake wars. I think they meant enemy territory: quake wars. Isn't this a bummer; I paid $50 more for my 8600 6 months ago...oh well, that's better for us though.

    Early XMas present

    I saw this and wondering if it is as good of a deal as I keep hearing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?nm_mc=AFC-SlickDeals&cm_mmc=AFC-SlickDeals-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA&Item=N82E16814130384

    The Need for Floppys?

    RAID is the only thing that I can think of that you need pre-install drivers, however with Vista, you can load them on a USB drive and go that route. But I still keep a 3.5 around for when the Vikings win the Super Bowl.

    CPU Cooler Roundup - 22 Models Tackle Our QX6850

    The aftermarket one I have on now mounts on the stock adapter, but every other cooler that worth its weight will have its own unique mounting system. That's kinda what I was asking, if this one can do it I'm sure there has to be another out there that will mount like this but cool better.

    Custom Watercooling

    That's all thermo stuff, more physics than electrical. I could design you a circuit that is power by bad breath that could output 6.3vac. The key will be is if your CPU has a TDE of ~140w and you put a 53w TEC on it then your cooler has to dissipate around 200w. They are not as efficient as I...

    CPU Cooler Roundup - 22 Models Tackle Our QX6850

    *shrugs* I don't have know, I don't have an Intel chipset. Did all of them require their own back plate?

    Custom Watercooling

    You can find the Peltier cooler all by itself in a few places on the net, but that would be too simple. Being a student of engineering, I'm morally obligated to overcomplicated this project. I have some catalogs that we use for lab equipment and I was going to look at one today and see what...

    Custom Watercooling

    How do you like that fan controller? Are the temp probe wires long enough or too long? Fit and Finish? Those knobs stick about about a half inch right? It looks good, although kinda busy with 4 knobs, temps and speeds, and probably no 'auto' setting. I don't even think it will fit behind my...

    CPU Cooler Roundup - 22 Models Tackle Our QX6850

    How many of these fit the existing back plates? I really don't want to pull my board out to put in a new cooler. Have any recommendations on a top tier cooler that doesn't need a proprietary mounting system?

    looking for high quality 19" no frill LCD monitor

    I'm with ya. I got a 22 and it's a damn shame the selection at Worst Buy or Short Circuit City. Hard to pick something on the net without seeing it and having to look at it all the time. I've heard that the most expensive piece of your computer should be the monitor, I wish I could find a...

    NVIDIA to Launch Three GPUs Next Month?

    I read this since I have to run SLI and I thought this part was pretty funny, if not true. " Hint: "20W less power consumption!" on the side of the box won't sell many cards. You would be better off airbrushing bigger nipples on the chrome chick cover art."

    Reader's Rig Photo Gallery

    If I were to name this rig, I would have to call it Phoenix since it has risen from the ashes, or RMA's, and is finally back together and running in somewhat of a stable state. The power is now coming from a 750 silencer, the board is now a M2N32 and the gpu has been dumped until I can get the...

    Logitech mouse problems...

    So what they did is make it very difficult for you to migrate away from Logitech devices by removing your mouse drivers when you remove setpoint?
