Right guys, so my birthday is coming up and I'm looking at treating myself to a nice pair of speakers. Not sure yet as to which ones which is why I'm here. Of course I've looked at some threads on here and looked at a couple of reviews on speakers but I haven't decided yet. I'm looking for a...

Crap. So I built KingPenguin (my new rig) and it all worked just fine. Installed Windows, drivers, etc. Was just doing some stress testing when I noticed one of the cores was about 15 degrees cooler than the others, and the others were running a bit high. So I decided to remount the cooler to...

Alright guys, as some of you may be aware, the time has come for me to build my new rig. My previous rig consisted of a Q8200, MSI P45 Platinum, Crucial Ballistix Tracers, Antec 902, and it's featured several GPUs, with the fastest and last one being a GTX470 with a Zalman VF3000F cooler. It is...

Wow. Just, wow. Nerdgasm! http://www.techpower...otherboard.html This board seems perfect to me, apart from the PCIe slots layout. Another serious contender for my next build!

As of three days ago I'm having issues with my computer. It started off with it simply not booting. In fact, untill I cut the power for 10 seconds I couldn't even get it to POST. After that however, it would boot just fine and I used it the entire day without any further issues. The next day...

Righto guys, my little brother has finally saved up enough money, and now he's ordered the parts for his brand spanking new gaming rig. Of course I was the one that selected the parts etc. (he's not really a pc geek), but this will be HIS pc, and it will eat my own rig for breakfast! :'D So I'm...

Two weeks ago I got this error upon rebooting my pc. I then disbanded the RAID0 and reconfigured it. After reinstalling Windows and installing some essential programs, I once again received this error. I then checked both drives individually for SMART errors using Samsung's HUTIL. Both passed...

Right guys, starting today I've been getting tons of bsod's. I came home from work, having left my pc on to fold, turned my screen on, and was presented with a BSOD. So I reset the PC, let windows load, but before I could get into windows it would BSOD. It would do that to me even So I tried...

Apparantly it's possible to unlock a 6950 to a 6970 by flashing the bios, or tweaking the bios in a way that it unlocks the full chip. This is possible with almost all current 6950's. Recommended is that you check the card for stability after you've done it. Warranty will be lost. I'm probably...

Right guys, as stated I'm going to be away for a while. I'm going on holiday to Sweden for almost two weeks, starting tonight. Unfortunately that also means I won't be able to fold. I've been folding more and more lately, and I would love to leave my PC folding while I'm gone, but I can't...
