The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread

Thanks for all the replies. My power supply is on the bottom and blocked by a the floor of the case (faux BTX style). I am thinking I may need to get a new case if I want to cool this effectively. I like the Antec P180 but would need to get a new power supply as the OCZ Modstream's cables...

Hello all, X-mas has come early for me. My manager let me have a system pulled E6600 C2D (no HS+F, just the chip). No i am not kidding and no it wasn't a five finger discount. It would have been discarded. Anyhow, my current system is listed in my sig below. I am basically looking for...

X-Fi question

Hi guys, I've got a question. I currently have an Audigy2 ZS Platinum Pro card. The card is starting to go. I hear cracks and pops, etc. As much as I don't want to buy another creative card, they are still the best on the market. I don't currently use the front bay with my Audigy2 card. I...

Transfer RAID from MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum to Asus A8N-SLI Premium

Hello all, I know I am asking a completely retarded question, but is there anyway to move a RAID 0 array from the nvraid on the Neo2 to the Asus A8N Sli Premium? I just got the Asus and really don't feel like reformatting. I know I sound lazy as all hell, but I am addicted to World Of...

Speculation: 7800gt==>7800gtx

I was wondering this same thing. It would be huge if this was possible. Rivatuner apparently unlocks them but then when you restart, they are once again locked. I am sure it's only a matter of time. Right now, I am having a hard time choosing between buying the somewhat vanilla MSI 7800GTX...
