I really can't add to what's already been said in the article: "In top of that, it was done with stock CPU voltages and ever-so-slightly raised secondary voltages (1.30v CPU, 1.3v FSB, 1.350v MCH)." That's as complicated as it gets. Bump the FSB to 400MHz and make sure the multiplier is at 7...

Ok, I thought you were confusing the units of measure. I knew you could handle warm heat, but I figured 75C as a house temp was a little over the top ;)

SLI is a fantastic addition, I admit. You just want to have sufficient cooling for any dual-GPU solution on this board though. I am running dual 8800GTS 512s in SLI, and man do they get hot. I am really thinking about hooking the entire machine up to water cooling... it might make some sense...

You are confusing Celsius with Fahrenheit, I think. I mean 75C, not 75F, which would be around 25C. But that said, your temps are well within reason. For them to keep under 50C with full load is fantastic, so I wouldn't even think twice about it. Seems that CPU cooler is a perfect match for...

From our front-page news: If there is one thing NVIDIA does well, it's the art of taking one GPU core and prolonging it's lifespan as much as possible. When G80 was first launched, in the form of the 8800 GTX, it offered mind-blowing performance that obliterated the competition. Amazingly...

Congrats on the purchase... that's a wicked processor. As for temps, the first and second will generally be warmer than the third and fourth, by a few degrees, but I really wouldn't worry about it. I am assuming your house is much cooler than mine, and with a great CPU cooler like that, your...

I am not sure how much the Triton's cost, but I'm assuming a pair of good headphones would be better than the AX360 as a whole. I used to be impressed with gaming headsets until I got a hold of a better pair of real headphones. I could not go ahead and use a gaming headset again... microphone...

You could duct tape it to your face? ;-)

I don't think the BIOS had anything to do with it... reinstalling Soundmax did.

The first question I have is why you'd want to run a full OS off of a thumb drive in the first place? It's possible, but it's an inefficient way of doing things. If you are just unsure as to whether or not you will enjoy the OS, you could always download a live CD and run the entire OS without...

If they change that, it will require a separate chip that adds cost to the board.

I am not sure if many will agree, but I think for headphones over the $100 price range, you might want to just consider an external microphone. Going over $100, I'd rather focus on audio quality than an 'all-in-one' package. It's just one scenario I'm in currently also. I want to have mic...

If you want to keep it at full speed all the time (makes a small difference in power consumption), you can go into the BIOS and disable C1E support.

There's nothing wrong with modular power supplies. Die-hard enthusiasts will state otherwise, but it's a moot issue as far as I'm concerned. I far more appreciate being able to use only the connectors I need and keep a clean case than have a PSU with far, far more connectors than I need. I...

Looking good as always, T-D. I think the shroud will actually work well here, since it will cover the ugly (objective) waterblock. Interested to see what you plan to do with it to prettify it though. The color of that thing is ugly.

Thanks for the heads-up, and sorry you got burned.

I was pondering picking one up a while ago, but I can't get by the fact that so many Apple slaves rub me the wrong way. I've been in so many bouts with people who can't see beyond the Apple logo, and that does a good job of steering me away from the brand. The upgraded model does look good...

Not from my experience... at least with the Component connector. My Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 looks a lot better with HDMI connected to my 30" monitor than it does when using Component. It might depend on the display, though. I would imagine HDMI would have greater capabilities overall though...

One of the dominating companies at Computex was ASUS, and because of the sheer amount of products on display, we've decided to dedicate an article to the most interesting ones. Included inside is a look at their new motherboards, audio cards, Eee PC accessories and much more. You can take a...

From our front-page news: Intel had a big press conference yesterday to help launch their 4-series chipsets, all of which Rory talked about the other day. Nothing too exciting occurred here, mainly because we've already been well-informed on P45, as evidenced by the fact that we've already...
