Gaming at 1280x1024

Hey, I was just wondering how many people game at 1280x1024. I use the system in my signature. My max resolution on my monitor is currently 1280x1024, but even if I could go higher, I wouldn't. I had a CRT monitor that could but I didn't think it looked much better at 1600x1200. I don't...

Overclocking E8400 on an Asus P5N-D, need help.

Hey smackguy, I have a similar setup to what you have going. I have an e8400 at 4.2 GHz, 2GB RAM at 850 Mhz, on a P5N-e SLI mobo. What I would suggest for you: 1. Check if you have adequate cooling. Taking the e8400 to 3.6 GHz is OK on stock cooling, however check to make sure...

Anyone experiencing smoke problems with Nvidia cards?

I have owned both ATI and NVIDIA cards. Both companies' cards work just about the same. Most graphics effects are handled equally by the cards. However there are certain games that handle better overall because of coding. I believe smoke is not part of this coding specific handling. In 3D...

Overclockers Dream. What is your dream machine?

I tried to make my dream computer based on your $5000 limit... but I've never looked at 30 inch monitors before and I did that near the end, it blew my budget. Albeit, I would personally probably use onboard sound (more like a standalone card on this mobo) and skip giving creative labs $400 for...

Graphics Card recommendation

You are correct, the 4850 beats out the 8800GT, AND the 9800GTX but only with AA/AF against the 8800GT (for $50 more) and only slightly better than the 9800GTX (for the same price) So the 4850 is clearly better than the 9800GTX for the same price, but its a personal thing of whether you...

Why is everyone here hyping up the 4850? From the reviews I've seen... 8800GT > 4850. PC Perspective (8800GT vs. 4850) http://www.pcper.com/article.p...=579&type=expert&pid=4 TweakTown (4850 vs. GTX280) http://www.tweaktown.com/artic...arks_crysis/index.html The 8800GT is currently...

How do you tell if an external hard drive is dead?

My younger brother received a 200GB Maxtor external hard drive + enclosure from our parents about 6 to 18 months ago. The drive worked fine up until Saturday. On Saturday, I moved the drive from his room to my room to move some files to my computer from his. I first turned off the...

Arctic Cooling S1

I also own a CM690 and an 8800GT, I was looking at doing the same thing you were doing, Anish. I took the measurements from the Arctic Cooling website (of the heatsink) and compared them my own measurements in the case. As JDKick said, it looks really tight with the side intake fan...

In your opinion, what is the BEST thermal grease (paste or T.I.M ) for air cooling?

Arctic Silver 5 is still king. I can't foresee this getting any better. It's ideal grease. Until they start building nano-computers into the grase to maneouvre itself into the best position for optimal conducting. Like Optimus Prime uses in HIS chips.
