Can't overclock GA-Z77X-DH3 + 3570K

Never mind, I'm a complete no0b. You have to use the +/- keys to change the value instead of typing in a new value. Sorry for wasting everyone's bandwidth :(

Bitrate suggestions for H.264 encoding

I'm in the process of ripping some BD disks and I'm saving them in a MKV container with H.264 encoding. I'd like to encode them to reduce the file sizes but I don't want to sacrifice the image quality all that much (I'm using Handbreak). I'd be interested in hearing what bit rates people are...

What format for a new viedo library?

I'm planning to soon start transferring our video library from various sources onto a home network server (probably Windows Home Server). I'd like to settle on a common file format and encoding for all our videos. From the reading I've done there doesn't seem to be an obvious choice. I'd...

I'm thinking of building an inexpensive system for my kids and I'd like to ensure that it can run the Windows Aero UI. To keep costs down I'd like to use a motherboard with integrated graphics. Any suggestions on the minimum chipset I should be looking for to ensure reasonable Aero performance?

Latest status of SSD controllers

It's been a few months since Anand published his review of Intel's SSD and talked about the stuttering issues SSDs using the JMicron controller were having. Have things changed since then? I've seen several new SSD models rolled out from different vendors since Anand's review and I was...

Motherbord RAID vs. RAID controller

Yes, I know a good RAID controller should use PCIe, I said that in the original post. I also realize it needs to be a decent card or it's more or less the same as the Mobo RAID. And FWIW I'm thinking of running 4 Raptor-150s in RAID-0. Now, back to my original question, can anyone provide a...

Motherbord RAID vs. RAID controller

I'm currently using the motherboard RAID controller on my 680i board to run two Raptor 150 drives in RAID-0. While it performs better than a single Raptor did I was a little disappointed with the performance when I first set up the RAID. I'm now starting to think about my next system build...

Need Recommendation: Bench top test rig

I'd like to find a good bench top rack for housing a mother board, disks, power supply, etc. Something where the mother board is open and accessible and not just lying loose on the bench. Can anyone recommend a product? Thanks in advance.

nVidia G80 rumers

OK, it's September now - what are the latest rumers regarding nVidia's G80 chip? If we're going to see this product before the end of the year then some more specific information should be starting to leak out about now. Or, does the lack of information suggest this chip is behind schedule and...
