    Vista... sucks

    I officially just had the most horrible experience ever with Vista. I set my AMD rig back up since the Intel machine is getting dedicated to some testing very soon. So I fired up Vista 64. It installed and worked flawlessly on this machine 2 other times. After 3 failed installs, I got it...

    PSU or mobo issue?

    I agree. Antec has really dropped the ball with their high end power supplies and Nvidia cards. Even a 600W unit should easily power 8800 SLI.

    That is an AWFUL lot of voltage. If a small increase had no effect, I doubt such a large one would. If it was my motherboard, I'd not feel comfortable setting them that high. If you are confident with your case airflow, you could try maybe .1V higher than I suggested before, but usually you...

    CoolIT Freezone Elite CPU Cooler

    Well, you probably are gonna be stuck using your original settings. You're temps were well within limits so I wouldn't worry. 75C and less is fine for these CPU's under 100% load. Unless you manage to load it up that much 24/7 it won't get that high under regular use, especially gaming. You...

    CoolIT Freezone Elite CPU Cooler

    Those voltages should be fine and I would add a fan to the bottom of the case. make sure it is pulling air in. You probably don't need to adjust the SB Core Voltage, but again, bumping it up 1 notch won't hurt.

    CoolIT Freezone Elite CPU Cooler

    Yes, I was referring to the coolant temp. That would probably keep your load temps roughly the same you have now, but it would regulate the fan speeds and make your PC nearly silent until it is under load and warming up. Plus, the guys at CoolIT are prepping a 64-bit compatible version so we...

    CoolIT Freezone Elite CPU Cooler

    I (William Kelley) had the Vcore set to 1.4V in bios which settled to 1.376V in Windows using CPUZ. I also achieved better results by using a case with better airflow than the case used in the review. I am kinda surprised you need that much Vcore for that overclock, but as you said yourself...

    CoolIT Freezone Elite CPU Cooler

    I wanted to let you guys in on this. I installed the test PC into an Antec 900 case which is much more airflow friendly than the iSolo I used. With the Antec fans on their lowest settings and the rest of the settings that I used for the system during the review, I got the load temps down 8C+...

    HD DVD Hardware Sales Suffer Huge Decline Since CES

    Well, since Sony did lose the BETA/VHS war, it is kinda fitting they win this one. I don't care who actually wins, i just want an affordable player in Canada......

    Should We Care About Window 7's Release Date?

    I bet it comes in atleast 2 years later than M$ promises.

    Vista... sucks

    I'm pretty certain EVERY version of Windows did that, LOL!!!! All I can say is that I never had more problems with ME than I did with 98. As for 2000, it was a giant leap forward for M$, that's for sure. I am pretty sure it was Windows 98 that did that to Mr Gate$ though.

    Vista... sucks

    I'll never understand this whole Windows ME hatred. I agree 110% that it was only Windows 98 with a new skin, but it worked fine on every PC I ever came across using it. The main problem is Vista is that the demands are just too high for resources. I have a current test machine with an...

    Geez, MySpace is huge...

    I have no use for sites like this. If I need to be in social contact with people, then I use the phone, actual physical human contact or if I have to over the net it is with messengers. I just do not like the idea of them and the fact that so many gullible people post so much personal info on...
