Are these temps high?

I'm running an antec 900 case. Mind you, I'm using a Thermalright ultra 120 with the fan blowing straight up from beneath the heatsink so that the 200 mm fan can suck the hot air out. PCClark99, do you have a B3 or a G0? Are your temps posted from coretemp? Once in awhile, even at just 2.7...

Are these temps high?

bios shows me about 24 C or so at idle, but Core Temp shows me around 42ish. I have the following Gigabyte p35 ds3r v1 Q6600 B3 Corsair 520HX Thermalright 120 Ultra. Is 44ish a bit high at idle with coretemp? If so, should I reseat the damn thing? I didn't lap it, but I'm using AS5.

Black screen after slight overclock

I'm using the Corsair 520HX though. In addition, when I was running vista, I got a shut down and the system would not power up for about 3 minutes. That was pretty odd. I figured it was just vista.

Black screen after slight overclock

I bumped the bus speed to 305 for a 2.8 ghz overclock and got a restart when gaming. I haven't touched any voltages and I have not upgraded my bios. I did set the PC health status at 70C but Speed fan has only showed me a temp around 40C after starting up, bios shows me a temp of 23C at...

Corsair 520HX pretty hot

My cpu isn't going to be here until Monday so I put my psu and graphics card (8800GTS overclocked) into my sister's emachine. Should the power supply be hot to the touch?

Do you buy hardware from Ebay?

I'd check the person's feedback rating and only buy if they have 99.7% or higher with at least 100 transactions.

best 22 inch lcd

From what I've read, the Samsung 226BW http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16824001096 is an excellent monitor. I am going to buy this one from best buy (same price as newegg, but with tax) to ensure that I get an S version.

Final build, opinions needed

Let me know if I can save a little cash on any of these components; in other words if I can spend less in some areas and spend more in some others. I'm satisfied with this amount, but if I can spend any less I would be even happier. thanks guys. Samsung DVD drive...

Absolute best gaming comp for the cash.

I would like the option of SLI in the future. If I play crysis and decide I don't need it, then I guess it's a waste for my needs, I'd prefer not to do any overkill. So what Mobo would you recommend?

Ok, after a shitload of research and contemplating, I've settled on the following. My budget is around 1300 bucks for everything except keyboard, mouse and monitor. If you have a different recommendation, plz give me some input, as I work hard for my cash. If you think I'm overspending on a...

Two computers in one?

If there's software out there to set one mouse and one keyboard (of two of each) to one monitor, that would totally kick ass. I see an opportunity here.

Two computers in one?

I'm wondering if there's any way to use two keyboards, mice and monitors and use a nice system as two at the same time. In other words, can you have two people playing at the same time off the same rig. I know that with hardware as it is now, there is the capability, I'm just wondering if...

New q6600 system. need input.

I have started losing a little faith in Newegg. I've build 3 computers with parts from there, but with this build, I've looked around more and found that their prices are a little higher than they should be. They have the Antec 900 for 139 with free 3 day shipping, but I've found it at another...

New q6600 system. need input.

Yeah, I was wondering about the memory of the cards. So what you're saying is that 320 SLI'd would not be as good as a gtx? I read this article and it said that two GTS's SLI'd outperformed a GTX. http://www.hothardware.com/art...ormance_Update/?page=2 But the article never specifies of those...

New q6600 system. need input.

Thanks for the input. I was doing some reading and found this PSU to be highly recommended and is not too expensive. PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 EPS12V EPS12V 610W Continuous http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817703005 Would that be worth the extra $$ or would the OCZ be...

New q6600 system. need input.

Due to my having made a little more $$ than I thought I've upgraded my plans for a new PC. I will be gaming (some WoW), DVD ripping, etc. I plan on playing Crysis when it comes out too. I'm going to use an Antec 900 case (140). My plans are to run another 8800 GTS in SLI in the coming...

Would the E6420 be sufficient to run next gen games along with an 8800 gts, or would an E6600 be worth the extra 40 bucks?

Hey, I've browsed this website a lot, first post. Anyway, I'm wanting to build a system shortly, used for gaming and a little video ripping, with some photoshop usage. My budget is 1000, but if I could spend less, that would be great. Two things I'm pretty certain I want are: Antec 900...
