Quick question (well I hope it is). Im using the Asus 890gx and was wondering if running an Nvidia card (gtx 570 for example) with a dedicated physX card (gtx 260) would be okay. Im not saying SLI on an AMD board which most people think Im talking about. Im saying can I have a Nvidia card and...

yep, all 6 for my board. Im just curious why the computer froze right when I plugged my speakers in? They were turned on then I hooked them up to the motherboards audio in port

I bought a new case and psu. CM storm scout and antec 750w earthwatts. I put those together and all my old parts into it. Turned it on and it ran fine. I plugged my speakers in and then the comp froze. I turned it off via psu. It turned on, turned off for a few seconds and then turned...

Well, I guess no one is into rejuvenating old cards for fun. The best coolers for this card are 15-30$, just wanted to see opinions. Oh well, thanks anyways.

Thats just the thing, i am going to overclock as far as I can on air :eek: aftermarket cooler are around $30. To have fun and test it that doesnt bother me. Any suggestions?

I know it's not worth putting money into, but I want to keep using my evga 8600 gts in a second build for a while. Any suggestions on gpu coolers for it. I found this and a huge review on it: Thermaltake ND-1...

The case is great, good airflow and quiet. It fits a graphics card up to 10.5 inches so you should be fine. Im picking one up from my microcenter too. I agree about the OCZ ram, nicest way to say it, it's garbage and will cause you trouble. OCZ has made better products. What models are the...

can i use any 8pin connector on my psu or does it have to be a specific power connector? any psy recommendations?

After some browsing, how does this look? cpu: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103851 Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131631 Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231276 Cpu cooler...

Probably going to stick with good old zalman http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118223

That's how much it is after tax.

I'm not using the 8600gts, I have a 5770 sitting over here. My buddy works in an IT research place in Arizona, that's who mentioned that the Phenom quads are 2 dual cores and run differently. So, don't quote me, but it is interesting information. The H50 is more expensive, but it is very...

Edit: the mobo is awesome though =] i've always had crap ones. Or, I can just say screw it and go get a q6600 on craigslist for $80 and get 2 more gigs of ddr2. They have a couple q6600 g0 stepping ones. that will save me $200+ but I didnt want to put more money into something that is...

The reason I picked the athlon 640 is because I get it for $90 (i dont have 1k to spend, i am trying to avoid that price =] ). when the athlon ii x4 becomes outdated ill bump up to a x6. I like starting at whats necessary, not overkill. The phenoms are said to be not as good of a quad core as...

Just pieced together another system. Just trying to upgrade, no real budget (well.. under $1000). The cpu I get cheaper at Microcenter thats why i picked it and its a beast 4 core for $90. Any ideas? cpu...

The new build looks great. And unless it was an accident, you have two sets of 2x2gb ram. Drop one set to make it cheaper. i liek the athlon II x4's great for the money, and make good matches for the 5770. The only weak link i see in the build is that psu. got great ratings and is very...

hmm, i didn't think my build was that bad.. the gtx 460 is way better. dual gpu won't matter when he has a 550watt psu... By the time the gtx 460 goes out of date, he will just upgrade to another single slot solution. Instead of being negative, just explain why the other one is better...

Lucky you, and Ironic. I just made this post for info. Its a great build, check it out. http://www.computerforum.com/185516-i7-build-your-info.html $900 with shipping and tax already in. Will play anything, a small few that it won't be able to completely max out. if you need an OS, order...

I was bored and put this together for anyone who was looking for an i7 build. Everything can be adjusted of course, but these parts were priced good and got great ratings. Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146059 Cpu...

Cool, thank you. How can you tell if it's not a true multi-rail?
