Hey guys, my 3 months new Lanparty Ultra-D just got friend and I'm about to RMA it back to monarch from whence it came. I'm gonna buy a new MB in the meantime and then sell the new one when they return it. The fact that it broke so readily makes me a little nervous to put the same board in my...
Hey guys, I just built a new rig with the following specs:
DFI Lanparty Ultra-D
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
2x512 Corsair ValueRAM
XFX Geforce 7800gtx
Fortron 400w PSU
It worked beautifully up until a couple weeks ago...it suddenly wouldnt start. I opened her up and I noticed that the MB was...
Thanks for posting this on a more frequented forum....everyones needs to know that it's gonna be a long, cold, dark january.
seriously though, thanks for all your efforts, JS!
agree with casanova on this one....maybe not one of the top 5, but the top 10 or 15 atleast.
Kid A was "groundbreaking"
Funeral by Arcade Fire is pretty epic
Brian Wilson's "Smile" was an opus worthy of alllll the accolades it ended up receiving
hmm, Stankonia by Outkast anyone?
And...
I think I'll pick these up for my sis for christmas....anyone have any input on how they sound or how loud they get? She lives in a dorm and she wants some decent volume for low-key parties...I was going to go with the z-2300s but 90.00 is just too much to front for a poor college kid such as...
I'm curious about people's thoughts on the Thermaltake Tsunami (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133132)...
OR, the one of the thermaltake armor series cases: (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811133154)...
Now, I know everyone here is a big fan of...
"If you want 8-bit and fast response times you're going to be SOL with that budget. You're going to end up with 6-bit in that budget."
that's what I'm afraid of...
If it's not feasible to get a response time of 8ms and an 8-bit panel, then I'd favor the fast response time (cause gaming is...
Hey guys, my 21" CRT (though quite the workhorse), has got to go...it's HUGE and heavy...I long for a little desk space.
I'm looking for a 19" LCD used primarily for gaming with a vibrant display. I was looking into the l90d+ (a huge favorite on these forums it seems), but was concerned...
I'm in the market for EXACTLY the same thing you are, sir....'cept I don't wanna go smaller than a 19".
Regardless, I'm glad to see that there exist choices OTHER than the l90d+ which was all I was hearing about for a couple months :)
no, I've got 3 or 4 other AGPs lying around but no pci-e's...I tried taking the video card out completely and it still had the same symptoms....shouldnt it atleast have beeped angrily or something??
Hey guys, I recently built the following PC:
DFI LanParty Ultra-D
3700+ San Diego
2x512 Corsair Value Select
1 250GB SATA Seagate Barracuda
XFX 7800gt
Fortron 400w PSU
It was working flawlessly until I went on Thanksgiving break and left it at my apartment. I came back tonight and it...
ooo...I would recommend (unequovically) the 3700+ for gaming....just bought one and I )ouldn't be happier. Dual core will win you some respect in most PC circles, but I would suggest to wait to upgrade until they're more mainstream and programs can take full advantage. Take that $150 and...
Hey guys, I have a Neo2 Platiunum MB with a A64 3200+ (Winchester) cooled with a Thermaltake k8 fan....
My RAM is probably holding me back...its Mushkin ValueRAM running at 200mhz @ 3-4-4-8 :(
I just got a Antec II 550w Smartpower PSU here on anandtech so all I need is some cooling...
I think it has a response time of (a lengthy) 25ms...this would cause a significant motion blur whilst playing games.
However, $169 is a good price for a 19" at any brand it seems, and if you're not concerned with gaming, I'd say go for it......if only for the space saving/aethetic/easy on...
Hey guys, thanks for all your replies...I feel much more comfortable than I did. One of the sites that concerned me was the following:
http://www.bleedinedge.com/reviews/proc..._reviews/3700sd/3700_San-Diego_07.html
---the temps are noticably lower than mine (and it sounds like, alot of...
oh...and my apartment is FREEZING (oil heating is tooo expensive these days), so I dont think that ambient temp can be having too significant an effect. :)
Gotcha...I'll try a different program to start....I'm using everest right now, any suggestions on another temperature gauging program? Maybe I'll take the HS and fan off and reset them too. It's odd because I use Everest to gauge my other computer too (a 3200+ Winchester on a Neo2...
Hey guys, I just bought a mb/cpu combo from monarch which they put together for me. I got a DFI Lanparty Ultra-D motherboard, and a 3700+ (San Diego)....the CPU was the retail version but I got the Thermaltake Venus 7 installed cause I figured it'd be better than stock cooling. I also had them...
Hmmm, really? As in the game is incompatible with the drivers that were put out by Nvidia? If it's as easy as that I'll be pretty excited.
I wasn't quite specific enough with my complaint I guess. It's Farcry that I'm getting the problem with...I'll check for patches.
Age of Empires III...
Hey guys, I just built my girlfriend a computer today and wanted to make sure the new 7800gt I convinced her to buy (so I could live vicariously through her), was working. So I loaded up the new 81.87s from the nvidia website and I installed direct x 9.0c that came with farcry (far cry came...
GPU temps are fine....CPU idles at 36 (according to MBM 5)....and hits 40 under load....prolly a little high....but I'm not running it with any special cooling.
I just dont see why the fan would help at all if it was the psu.
edit: I just loaded up AOE III, played it until the screen...
Yeah, I think I'm gonna buy a new psu anyway....does anyone have any ideas why putting the big fan next to the open case seemed to fix the problem? If it's the psu, wouldn't it be a power problem and not a "heat" problem?
hey there, everyone has been raving for a while now about the ocz revision 2 platinum series...I think the timings are 2-2-2-5 or something ridiculous like that
Hey guys, I've got my pc setup as follows:
MSI Neo2 Platinum
3200+ (winny) @ 2.0ghz (never overclocked)
1 gb Mushkin valueram (cl2.5)
80 GB WD hard drive
Geforce 6800gt
"Tiger Pro" 350Watt PSU
Now, I've never had any problems with reboots until recently. Sometimes, the screen...
