    Gigabyte Warranty Service

    The only time that I resorted to Gigabyte's warranty service, it was an unsatisfactory end. I paid for shipping and three weeks after shipping the board off to them, they sent the same exact board back (checked the serial number to find out it was the same). From what I could tell, all they did...

    Word 2007 Problem

    Thank you for the suggestion bwatson283. I'll be certain to try Ccleaner. As an update, I reinstalled Office 2007. Unfortunately, it exhibits the same errors (crash upon exiting, unable to highlight, documents don't directly open when double-clicking via Windows Explorer). Furthermore, Word...

    Word 2007 Problem

    Thanks for the response Corky. Well I went ahead and uninstalled Office 2007. I haven't reinstalled it quite yet though. Is there some sort of application or guide that I can use to sweep out any residual traces, such as registry type stuff? And... I really don't want to reformat my HD just...

    Word 2007 Problem

    I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. The Computer Help forum appeared to be for hardware issues, and so I thought that perhaps this post would be better placed in a Software forum. If anyone has a good suggestion on a better forum to put this, I'll definitely pursue that. Lately I've...

    CPU fan not getting enough juice. p35 ds3r

    I've had this issue before with my DS3R. More concerning, a friend who had the same motherboard also had a similar issue. I think what always starts the fan for me is to simply turn off the Fan Control. I switch it from "Auto" to just completely off. --Garfield3d

    Gigabyte P35 Motherboard Thread

    For those of you with the P35-DS3R, what BIOS have you guys been using? My motherboard shipped with the F4 BIOS. I tried the F7d and the F7 BIOSes through @BIOS, but my computer became extremely unstable. The computer would randomly reboot itself and sometimes it couldn't even make it into...

    Weak Performance in WoW

    Try clearing out your mods, cache, and WTF directory (or at least rename all of them). Then turn off your mods and try running around Shattrah or a high population locale to determine whether or not it's just the core game that's slow. If that works, turn on your mods and see if it's still good...

    Important Crysis Info: Get the DX10 effects while playing in the DX9 mode just by tweaking the cfg. No need for Vista

    And Halo 2 is supposed to be Vista only. *cough* Stuff like this makes me wonder how much of this "DX10" and "Vista" only stuff is truly inhibited by programming. Is it merely easier to perform under Vista, or truly impossible to perform under XP? Or, are they just being lazy and trying to...

    Q6600 vs. X3220

    Thanks for the responses. I imagine that the Xeon is supposed to be better than the normal Q6600. It's meant for servers and people have said it comes from a higher bin. My question, though, is whether people have seen a consistent increase for Xeon in their experiences. There haven't been...

    Q6600 vs. X3220

    So it's that time for me to pull the trigger on a processor for a new computer. I was thinking of getting the X3220 from ClubIT at http://www.clubit.com/product_...il.cfm?itemno=A1938011 simply because it's a good price ($277 + $4.99 shipping) at a reputable vendor. Then, I saw a newspaper ad...

    IT'S BACK 24" Soyo LCD for $299. @ Office Max is back

    Does anyone have some advice on how to calibrate a monitor? Are there some easy-to-use test images out there, or any software that streamlines the process in color/brightness/contrast calibration? After returning two monitors, I could almost swear that the third monitor looks a little...

    As per this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...key=y&keyword1=Soyo+24 . He's correct. The Soyo 24 incher is a P-MVA panel made by AU Optronics, which is the parent company of BenQ. This means that the monitor has the potential to be very good. Quality control and the quality of other...

    HD 2900 Pro at NewEgg....Do You Dare?

    Well, the video card does have 512 MB of RAM. It might be able to serve a segment of high resolution users that the 320 MB 8800 GTS can't quite fit as well. If the video card performed at 320 MB 8800 GTS levels with better tolerance for higher resolutions, I would probably go for it. However...

    It is definite to get a G0 Q6600 from NewEgg or are B3's going out?

    Right now it sounds like a lottery with Newegg. The reviews on their website for the past month and a half have been up-and-down reports of B3s and G0s. As someone said, Clubit has the G0 guaranteed in stock and their price is pretty much the same as Newegg's. What I'm also interested in is...

    IT'S BACK 24" Soyo LCD for $299. @ Office Max is back

    I purchased this monitor two weeks ago and I've been rather concerned with its quality so far: I've been having the flashing, or "sparkling," pixel issue. Periodically, even on still screens, a pixel will suddenly flicker white, green, or some other random color for a split second. It's very...

    Radeon HD 2900 Pro / HD 2900 GT

    I know this may not be very high on the list for some people but... how loud is the HD 2900's fan? I've heard that the 8800 GTS has a pretty quiet fan. My X1650, however, has a loud fan. I sincerely do not want to buy any card that has a fan this loud. --Garfield3d

    IT'S BACK 24" Soyo LCD for $299. @ Office Max is back

    I was able to buy this and apply the -$30 coupon with the help of a sympathetic Office Max manager. After tax, the price came out to roughly $292. It seems to be hit-and-miss with the managers. Some people have gotten it through okay, and others have not been so fortunate. I have only been...

    Soyo 24" LCD @ Office Max $299 Aug 19th-25th

    Does the Soyo monitor come with a DVI cable, or do we need to purchase that separately? Also, if you order through the phone, can you return/exchange it at a local Office Max if the monitor has dead pixels? --Garfield3d

    Relapping Northbridge on Gigabyte P35-DS3R

    Hrm, is lapping the heatsink for the northbridge pretty uncommon, or is it so routine that this isn't worth talking about? I'm familiar with playing with after market CPU HSFs, but I've never done it for the northbridge before. I'm a bit unnerved by the prospect of accidentally screwing up...

    Relapping Northbridge on Gigabyte P35-DS3R

    I bought a Gigabyte P35-DS3R, and I've been wondering if I should relap the stock northbridge heatsink with another thermal paste such as Arctic Silver 5. One of my main concerns is how hard is it to remove the northbridge heatsink and then secure it back onto the northbridge. It seems to have...

    Gigabyte P35 mobos : rev 2.0 out ?

    I finally opened up a DS3R that I ordered on 8/10. It's a Revision 1.0, which is fine with me if all they changed was the backplate. The front of my case complements the front USB connectors well, and I can't imagine needing more than 4 USB devices, much less 6 after connecting the front two...

    I am torn on Q6600/E6850

    This is how I view it: I can tell the difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS. Despite that, I'm comfortable with anything above 20 FPS. I like being able to run games at over 100 FPS not because I can tell the difference, but because I want to ensure that the games of tomorrow run as fast as...

    The Unofficial Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R P35 Board Thread

    Dying Hard Drive?

    Aside from buying a new power supply altogether, is there any way to alleviate the load or somewhat rectify the voltage on the 12V line? If I buy a weaker card, like a 7600GS or maybe a X1650 Pro, could that take some pressure off the 12V line? --Garfield3d

    For reference, Newegg has an Nvidia Geforce 6800XT 256MB 8x AGP for $61.99 after a $15 rebate and also the Radeon X1650 256MB 8x AGP for $74.99 after a $15 rebate. After factoring in shipping, the BFG doesn't seem like a particularly special deal anymore.

    Headsets: Logitech, Plantronics, & Sennheiser

    LCD users: does this page make your screen flicker??

    Yes, it "flickers" while scrolling. It's doing that because the pixels on the LCD take time to change from one color to another (pixel response time). As a result, the delay in the change the lines (which are densely packed) to sorta blend in with each other. Try it on a CRT and it will...
