venice 3200 or 3000....

As a 3200+ Venice owner, I'd recommend the 3000+ if you plan on overclocking. I was convinced that the 10x multiplier would be *so* handy when overclocking but in reality, it is pretty useless because my DFI Ultra-D has no problem delivering 340 FSB and my 3200+ tops out around 2.6-2.75GHz...

Quick and dirty A64 clocking guide **UPDATE** X2 OC information!

Just used this guide and have my 3200+ Venice Priming at 260x10. So far so good. I was able to boot at 275x10 with 1.55V but it would fail Prime immediately. 260 seems about where Prime stops failing so far. I'll check it when I get home. Haven't tested my memory yet but I'm impressed...

PC-60 Plus vs. PC-7B Plus

I just got a PC60B Plus from Newegg and so far I'm happy with it. I may have spent a little bit more for it but I had a good experience with the removable mobo tray. Just make sure you figure out which screws go with the spacers. Took me like 3 tries to find the right ones. I was a little...

2005FPW - Keep or Trade?

You are right, pixels are everything. But the point he's making is that watching widescreen content, i.e. DVDs or HDTV, on a widescreen display is better than on a 4:3 display which has to shrink the image to fit it on its screen. You end up with black bars on the top and bottom, therefore...

2005FPW - Keep or Trade?

Alright! You guys convinced me. I'm keeping this beauty. But I do have my eye on the 2405FPW or maybe another 2005FPW, but that can wait until next summer (or at least Christmas!).

2005FPW - Keep or Trade?

I'm at another place of total indecision. I just received my brand new 2005FPW that I got for $450. First of all, it's a great monitor, a lot bigger in person than it looks in some pictures. I have no problems with it, no dead pixels, no backlighting issues, no noticable image blur in CS:S...

Enermax or Lian-Li?

Well I went with the PC60 Plus because i read that with the DFI Ultra-D I'm using, the wind tunnel won't fit over the HSF.

Enermax or Lian-Li?

Why the PC-7B Plus? It's only about $10 cheaper on that website and doesn't have a removable mobo tray, has fewer 3.5 drives, and no cooling kit. PC-60 Plus looks way better in my opinion.

Enermax or Lian-Li?

Hey guys, After hours of research, I've narrowed my case selection to two cases. Please help me decide which one! Door number 1 is the Enermax CS-718B which is a nice server case with a wind tunnel, fan controller, and temperature monitor built in. Retails about $200 but includes a...

ThermalTake Smart Fan II.. any good?

Yeah, it's a fan question. What do you guys think of the TT Smart Fan II? The specs look pretty sweet with up to 75.7 CFM at 4800 RPM!!! (of course that's also 48db) How's this thing perform paired with an SK-7? With it operating off the thermistor would you consider it a "quiet" fan? I'm...

Cooling necessary for 9500 NP Overclock

So go on Newegg and order a Radeon 9500 NP for $150. It comes with the new red pcb with L-shaped Infineon 3.3ns memory and Wizzard's softmod 9500 -> 9700 works great! I use RadClocker to turn it up to 380 core/ 310 memory. Now I'm wondering if I could get more out of the card by adding...
