    Help With Crossfire Setup

    Looks like I would need the x1950 Crossfire - which Ive found, but without the cable. Does anyone know where I can buy the crossfire cable? Thanks

    Help With Crossfire Setup

    I have a Sapphire Radeon x1950XTX 512MB card in an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe and I'd like to possibly add a second card and crossfire them. What card would work for this? Does it have to be the same manufacturer or will any x1950xtx work? Thanks in advance.

    HardDrive Question

    I had a harddrive failure in my primary machine and its getting RMA'd. Now I have to rebuild the OS and I'm wondering if going with Raptors would be worth it. I have a E6600 in a ASUS P5W DH Deluxe currently with two Seagate 7200.10 320GB SATA drives (once one gets RMA'd). I was thinking...

    Question about SATA

    SATA is just serial ATA. ATA describes a drive as master or slave so the protocal is still implemented the same. Bottom line is each bus is totally independent and makes no difference if the addressing of the protocal is master or slave. With four ports, it just means the chipset is defined as...

    General SATA and IDE cable questions

    Sleeve the cables and use some zip ties. It's pretty easy, looks great and provides great air flow. I spent a couple hours sleeving everything and then zip tieing to the case as 2 dimensionally as possible. It's really well worth it. The airflow will be increased dramatically. Plan it out...

    What is the best way to set your computer up so you can keep gaming from everything else?

    I think I just decided what to do with my current machine as I bring my new core 2 rig into production. It's going to sit right here with the old 21inch CRT. Thanks. Although, I'm going to miss browsing/etc at 1900x1280 on this 24 inch monitor that I've temporarily been using on the old machine.

    What is the best way to set your computer up so you can keep gaming from everything else?

    How about a cheap browsing/burning rig made up of leftover stuff and an A/B KVM switch?

    What is the best way to set your computer up so you can keep gaming from everything else?

    You could try setting up a pristine setup and then ghost it or use an imaging software to make a copy. Then whenever things get out of hand, copy your saves and reimage the machine to the pristine state.

    Yup - tried that - ran makedisk - only the JMicron drivers were available. Tried them just to be sure and they did not work.

    ASUS P5W and Raid Drivers

    I posted this on the motherboard page and got no hits after day and it's dropped off the first page, so I'm asking here. Sorry if I've broken any cross posting rules. I have the ASUS P5W and I need the Intel raid drivers on floppy to install XP. I've looked all over the included CD and can't...

    sleeving wires

    After reading the sticky thread on the cases and cooling forum, I decided to do this with my new build. Definitely do it. I can't believe how much cleaner the inside is and the air flow has to be 100% better as well. Get flexible sleaves and tie downs. Read the thread in the other forum. For a...

    ASUS P5W DH and Intel Raid Drivers

    They aren't on the included CD and they aren't on the website - where do I get the drivers so I can load them as a boot drive on an XP install? Thanks for any advice.

    Torn between 3 PSU choices

    I don't know if any/all of them are modular but if some are and some aren't, that would make a huge difference for me. I'll never buy a non modular again if I have a choice.

    General GPU Question

    Check the link on the front page of Anandtech. The 8800 blows everything else away by a long shot. Sort of the same clubbing that the Core 2 Duo delivered to AMD a few months ago.

    Where to get hardware online?

    Newegg and ZipZoomFly are my two favorites. I used Antares for my current build for the mobo and processor and they were absolutely fantastic. Customer service was excellent. I used them after ordering the processor and mobo from Monarch. After 10 days without shipment, I sent three e-mails to...

    Finally got all the pieces put together

    About 2 months ago, my staff got me a best buy gift card and I wondered in and picked up a copy of Oblivion. When I got home, I could only play it in a tiny 640x480 box with all the settings as low as possible. Unacceptable. This set me on a quest to buy my first real up to date system in years...

    Tuniq Tower problem

    Here's a tip that might help other people from popping a thumb screw (considering a couple of you have, I assume it could be a problem). When mounting the backplate to the motherboard, remove the cover on the backplate to expose the sticky stuff, but don't try to line it up and press it...

    Tuniq Tower Fan Question

    I'm kind of trying to pimp my rig out, so I dropped an LED fan into my Tuniq hoping for a cool effect of the light coming out the fins, but with the other LED fan lights, it's not really noticeable. Hence my question: Is the stock Tuniq fan better/worse than the fan I put in. I used a...

    What temps should I see

    How could you possibly get 17c? The heat sinks only dissapate heat. That would mean your ambient room temp would have to be 62f.

    Is SATA2 backwards compatable with SATA1?

    Not only will it work, but you are unlikely to see a difference. Most devices can't really push data out faster than about 35MB or 40MB/sec. A 1.5gb/sec bus is about 150MB/sec. You really need a bunch of devices on a bus to get close to that. Considering the SATA bus only has one device on it...

    What temps should I see

    After about 30 minutes of sitting in hardware monitor they have risen to 25c for the CPU and 45c for the motherboard. Am I doing OK? (no side panel on the case).

    What temps should I see

    I haven't done a thing yet but make sure it boots and run Setup. What temperatures should I see for a stock setup (E6600 with a Tuniq Tower)? After about five minutes just looking at the hardware monitor in setup, I have the CPU at 23c and the mobo at 38c. As I start overclocking, how...

    Mixing different models/series for RAID

    Both solution will work. The 7200.10 might have a faster access time, but it will just wait after it gets its stuff for the other - shouldn't be noticeable unless the disk has to do a full revolution cause it's missed the next block while waiting. I'm betting it will be fine.

    Looking for a mp3 type player for my home audio system

    You should check out www.avsforum.com for an extensive discussion of MP3 players like this. Someone has a cool spreadsheet with a bunch of different ones listed and what they do.

    Looking for a mp3 type player for my home audio system

    Try this: http://www.tvixbox.com/product_details.php?product_id=9# You can order it with a harddrive or use one of your own. You can also connect a USB drive to it. You can also connect it to a wifi bridge and just navigate the files from the PC. Lots of options - and a very cool device.

    HELP - No Boot

    I have an A5W DH Deluxe and a conroe 6600. I power it up and get nothing. The fan spins on the cpu, the fan spins on the X1950XT card. Little green mobo light is lit. No beeps, no post. Replaced E6600 with another 775 chip that is older (not Core 2) as I read something on the ASUS site about...

    Thermaltake Thunder Fans

    120mm, 79cfm, 21db - I just picked up three (with an LED). Anyone have any experience with them? Are they any good? The specs sound pretty competant.

    Need help selecting a case

    Background: I just put together a new build based on an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe, E6600, and an X1950XTX. I have a couple of 15K SCSI drives scavanged from salvaged servers that have SCA connectors, so I have adapters to get them to a 68pin cable - the importance of this is they are a little deeper...

    8800gts + e6600 vs 8800gtx + e6400

    Im not much of an overclocker, but wouldn't it be far easier to overclock a CPU than a GPU? If so, get the better graphics card and overclock the CPU. Seems pretty simple actually.

    NAS or Server

    can you give us the exact total cost? I'm thinking of doing the same kind of thing but I'm going to use an existing mobo/cpu - either a amd 2400, a dual PIII 800 or a dual PIII 1GHz or dual PIII Xeon 550 (yeah, lots of old scrap systems scavanged from salvaged work servers here). Thanks

    Does ATI have an answer for the 8800?

    I just got an x1950xtx and wanted to know if ATI has something almost ready that will actually compete with the new Nvidia card? With a crossfire mobo, Im just wondering what my options are.

    looking for a sleek case

    I've not seen anyone talk about my case anywhere, though the two reviews on newegg are both over the top happy. Thermaltake Matrix - all aluminum, solid or window side case available, 2usb, 1FW, 1mic, 1speaker on front - 4 5.25, 2 3.5 external, 4 3.5 internal and everything is tooless. It's an...

    New Question On The Tuniq Tower

    There are 120x38 too, but considering the fan sits in the middle of the heat sink, I don't think they are viable here.
