I agree about Crystal Disk Info. I love that program.
Anyways the drive I got is indeed refurbished. My drive has 28,000 hours and the refurb one has 23,000 but the rest of the Smart data has been reset. I cloned my drive onto the new one and running side by side the refurb runs almost 10...
why would i need another pc to test my drives? all of my other drives are working fine. should I plug the drive back into the original sata port and cable and see if it works or should I run a surface scan using hd tune or something like that?
To make a long story short I was having lots of problems with my main 1tb WD caviar black drive. My main OS partition got corrupted and refused to boot into windows. I originally had 9 pending bad sectors then after running HDD regenerator I had 9 uncorrectable bad sectors and after running WD...
I know all about creativity. I've filled every nook and cranny in my P150 (ie. Antec Solo/Sonata) with HDs. A case with more airflow will finally surely be a welcome addition even if I love this case to death! I've waited patiently to pick up a fractal case as every revision has gotten better to...

I was looking at cases to upgrade into and was instantly disappointed when I saw this case so I thought to myself,"Oh well I'll just wait for XL R3" but it turns out that the R2 hasn't even been released yet. It only holds 8 3.5"...
I keep getting driver crashes when browsing internet with firefox with official 12.6. Doesn't seem to happen in games. It's getting really annoying as i can't tell if it's a hardware problem or a driver issue.
I've been PC gaming since the Commodore, Apple IIe and Aquarius days if that makes you feel any better. And it's not an ati driver problem as the game runs beautifully but more about the problems I encountered trying to get the game to run and how I "broke" my computer in the process. The...
I couldn't disagree more. We all have games that we hold dear to our hearts or we wouldn't be here. I guess by that token we shouldn't watch movies that are older than 10 years old! Hey let the past stay in the past! *sarcastic* Kind of hard explaining to non-techie friends why their $2000...
Been having some issues with my card lately and am getting worried. Don't know if it's a driver issue or hardware. Any help would appreciated.
1. When I boot up my PC the fans on my video card spin at 50%. Is this normal? Since I only overclock my videocard when I game which is rare, I have...
Diablo 3 epitomizes everything that is wrong with gaming today and it disgusts me. It use to be that if a game was released buggy and unfinished it was the death knell in that games history but with the proliferation of the internet publishers started to adopt the release now and patch later...
If you don't mind my asking, what games are you trying to play that you can't run adequately? I think the consensus is to sit this gen out if you can mainly because of price/performance.
The asus cooler is way oversized for this chip. Bigger = better! :D
Newegg had the xfx 7950 on sale for...
That's a nice overclock for stock volts. Running 1125/1375 @ 1.185 atm and slowly bringing my clocks and volts down as I am being bottlenecked by my Q6600 at high clocks anyways. Nice to know I have that extra margin when I do upgrade my cpu eventually.
I find that 3dmark doesn't do a very...
