I might do that mod sometime... I didn't know it was an option. Do you happen to know the exact parts for that? I'd hate to tear it apart and find out something couldn't fit. At the same time, I'd probably order a replacement block, since mine is scratched to hell (it's been swapped well over...

Haha! That's the perfect scheme. Upgrade your machine and hers in the process. Seems fair to me.

Hah. I have a far different interpretation of what makes a good review than others, so how we do things will differ a lot from other sites. In my opinion, if it takes a visitor less than ten seconds to finish a page off, there is something wrong. I just live by that from experience. I have...

If you have MemTest86+ burned to a CD already, just pop it into your PC when you are in there and see if there is a memtest.bin on it. It should be as easy as overwriting the copy that's already installed.

I just heard back from our contact at NCIX, and apparently the Q9450 stock will come in towards the end of the month. It was noted, though, that the initial stock would be tight, so... even then it might be hard to get a hold of one. Hopefully Merlin will get his before then... but I have a...

Thanks for the information, but I don't use the 8800GTX except when testing. The high temps don't bother me too much, it just amazes me how much you were able to bring them down!

Talk about bad customer service... that kind of support is completely needless.

I wish I could help here. I need to pick up a Mac one of these days just to fiddle with it and be able to help people with these issues.

I am not sure of a GUI memory tester for Linux, but nothing stops you from installing MemTest86+ manually and being able to access it through GRUB. Most distros include it in their repository. Essentially, you need to copy the memtest.bin file to you /boot folder and then add it to the GRUB...

I won't ever look at TweakTown for more than one reason, but the main one is that I find it ridiculous that regardless of the GPU being looked at, the review is 19 pages. Screw that. I'll wait for a review from a more credible source (Techgage doesn't have one at this point in time).

I did the same thing just an hour ago. I hopped on the computer and had a headache to begin with, and wasn't finding that the monitor was helping. I turned the brightness down to 40% and things seem to be better, but it is indeed hard to tell the difference overall, haha. I could see the...

Grats on the purchase Merlin... please let us know how you make out with it once it arrives. I might pick one up also once available, but I'll have to do some clever time-making in order to spend good time with overclocking. Regarding 790i, just bare in mind that this chipset supports DDR3...

I think splitting the power planes would be a rare scenario, but who knows. It would be a killer enthusiast feature, that's for sure (not to mention TIME CONSUMING!). All of this talk about water makes me want to build a better overclocking rig, though. I am using a Corsair Nautilus 500 right...

I have to agree with most of you regarding WD... I've owned a few in the past and all of them died, which is why I began using Seagate instead. It's amazing to me though, because WD used to be the ultimate brand in hard drives... I swore by them. But then I began having them die on me, and it's...

I just want a board that can hit 500FSB reliably. It's amazing to me that I've been unable to get a board that can hit 500FSB... it makes benchmarking DDR3 useless (since DDR3-2000 can't be hit). X48 is a minor upgrade and chances are for most, no real difference will be seen. Even some P35...

GPUs will undoubtedly get much hotter than a Quad-Core, but they are designed to run with high heat. Plus, even with SLI, the two cores are not right inside each other like they are in a Quad-Core. I guess we'll find out what will happen later this year when they are finally released. I can...

So essentially, it's two things. If it IS indeed a hub, then it's a credit card sized 12GB flash drive. I'd much rather a 16GB thumb drive that probably costs much less than what this will retail for. If it acts as a USB RAID, then it would become a little more unique, but it's size is still...

The movie prices is the reason why I don't buy them that often. If they were closer to $20, I'd be more apt to pick up a movie on a whim and check it out. I don't normally go to a theater and never rent them, so I am not much of a movie aficionado. The PS3 could be upgraded to any future spec...

I never knew too much about CPL either, but it's too bad that one of the originating gaming leagues had to close shop. I think holding events like this is becoming a lot easier for the masses, which is why there is so much competition. If CPL shuts down, it wouldn't be surprising to see some of...

Damn, that's quite the setup! I am still impressed by the fact that the 8800GTX cards are kept at such wicked temperatures. My single 8800GTX hits 80C when it's not even doing anything, yet you have three smooshed together and temps are kept under 50C. That's fantastic. Whenever I build a...
