    Upgrading Motherboard, need suggestions

    How are their prices so much cheaper? It makes no sense. These are exactly the same but one is $50 more. http://ncix.com/products/index...76-AR&manufacture=eVGA http://www.newegg.ca/Product/P...x?Item=N82E16814130380 I wonder how much shipping is though, because its usually only $10...

    Upgrading Motherboard, need suggestions

    Here is my current set up, I want to buy a new video card but my motherboard is lacking so I think I should probably get a new motherboard at the same time as getting a new video card. Mobo: Asus M2N-MX SE CPU: Amd athlon 64 x2 6000+ GPU: Geforce 7600GT HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 160GB...

    I really want an 8800GT but

    Oh I never look under weekly specials, I just look under video cards. And no I don't want to spend all $200, less money is of course better.

    I really want an 8800GT but

    Here is my current situation, I am slowly updating my hardware and am buying a new video card soon. I have around $200 to spend on ncix.com but most of the 8800GTs I see are around $230 and the ones under $200 don't look very good. The only games I am playing are World Of Warcraft, Counter...

    Best 500W PSU

    Nevermind about it being out of stock, they have 4 of them in stock, I doubt there are going to be 3 other people ordering this item before me.

    Best 500W PSU

    Thanks, looks like a great deal. I am also looking to upgrade my video card to a 8800GT, does this have the proper connections for the heatsink/fan on the card? I am also running 4 fans using molex connectors.

    Best 500W PSU

    I am looking at buying a new PSU, I don't need the power but I would like to have it anyway. I am going to be buying this from ncix on monday and I just need a good quality 500W psu, currently I have a sparkle 400W and its pretty bad. I don't really want to spend more than $70-$80 on the...

    So should I get a new video card or psu?

    Sorry, I forgot to mention I am in canada so no newegg for me. Only ncix.com I can't believe I forgot to mention that because usually I do.

    So should I get a new video card or psu?

    Well I just realized I am going to have $200 now, and I still need to choose new parts. Can anyone put together a little list of exact parts I need? The video card will only be used for playing World Of Warcraft and Counter Strike: Source No overclocking will be done so I probably don't...

    So should I get a new video card or psu?

    Yeah that looks like what going to have to be done, I just don't know if I should consider a new motherboard. The current one is a pretty bad gaming board, it only has 2 dimm slots. What wattage for psu are we looking at here? I can probably just get a 450-500W and be fine right? No OCing...

    So should I get a new video card or psu?

    Right now I am having a problem with my video card, when it gets too hot it causes DPC's( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_Procedure_Call ) to spike which cause game "lag" spikes. Now i know its a cooling issue since when I put a housefan beside the video card it will run games for...

    Need help with case and cooling

    Ok well I took my whole case out of the spot it was in my desk and put it on the ground with my housefan beside it pointing right at the video card and it hasn't done the spikes, so maybe it is a cooling problem now.

    Need help with case and cooling

    Ok well after changing drivers like you said I am back using the newest driver and now the spikes happen even with the house fan. So I really don't know what to do. I am probably going to just buy a new video card and hope it works out.

    Need help with case and cooling

    The BIOS is default, I haven't screwed around with any of that stuff. A case may bandaid my problem since a housefan cools it enough to stop the spikes a good case like the antec 900 I plan on buying should do the same or better I would think. I have no way to get my hands on a loner...

    Need help with case and cooling

    Ok I tried 3 different drivers, do you think its safe to say I should just replace the card with a new one? I sorta want a new case but if I get a new card and the problem keeps happening I will be pissed. But if I get a new case the problem will probably go away since it has good cooling.

    Ok well the original driver from the disc still does the DPC spikes. Going to try the older drivers form the archives.

    Need help with case and cooling

    Yes the newest GPU drivers, the mobo drivers are the ones that came on the disc. If I try the ones that came with the card do I just uninstall the drivers I have now or what? I haven't flashed the BIOS but when this first started happening in January I flashed the BIOS and the problem still...

    Need help with case and cooling

    Ok so with the precision thing my temps are actually at 80C. I am guessing that too high. But now my concern is, how come the GPU overheats and causes these spikes with my current setup but doesn't with the old one? Should I just go spend $100 on a new video card and hope everything is good?
  26. C

    Need help with case and cooling

    Yeah GPU temp isn't very high either, here is the GPU temp after around 15 minutes of tf2 with no household fan 53C So 2C higher than idle. Drivers shouldn't be an issue, I have reformatted 3 times now and only installed the newest drivers from the website.

    Need help with case and cooling

    Yes it was the same PSU, I already tested all the rails with a volt tester and they are exactly where they should be. The video card is a geforce 7600GT, its crap but for WoW its fine. There is some dust buildup but I cleaned it with air from a small compressor I have about 2+ months ago...

    Need help with case and cooling

    It can't be my video card because when I put the same video card in with my old motherboard and CPU the DPC spikes didn't occur so that basically rules the video card out of being the problem doesn't it?

    Need help with case and cooling

    So I have a problem with my computer and what happens is that when my computer gets too hot and it causes my games to have these lag spike type of things every 20 seconds. I took my side panel off and put a housefan there but even after playing an hour of TF2 and then a few hours later...

    Help solving DPC spikes

    You know what, I tried that when it first started happening at about february and I can't remember if it worked or not because I went out and bought 2 80mm fans, they didn't do anything so I thought that wasn't the reason it was happening. But now I have been playing WoW for around 45 minutes...

    Help solving DPC spikes

    Ok well I decided to put my old motherboard/cpu/ram in my computer and reformat. The DPC spikes didn't happen and I was using the same video card. So I am going to cross out the video card as being the problem. I would of kept using the old mobo/cpu/ram but it kept blue screening of death...

    Yeah I could save up an extra $200, would only take another week. I am not going to be buying this computer until september. @Chosonman I live in canada so I can't just go to frys and buy one. Prices in stores here are very inflated compared to online and shipping is free. I don't care about...

    That video card is good, the newest video card from nvidia is the geforce gtx 280, it costs $580 and you have no need for it. 4 gigs of ram is fine.

    So what does everyone think about this budget gaming PC.

    1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Gaming and watching movies. Light gaming like TF2,WoW when the expansion comes out, SC2 and D3 when they come out. Maybe COD4 but probably not. maybe age of conan but I hear the requirements are pretty steep...
