CPU: e8400 Motherboard: EP45-UD3P GFX: 8800 GTS 512 Power supply: 550w corsair So I've had my computer for a year and a half, and I decided to try my first attempt at overclocking. I got the CPU to 4.05 Ghz (450FSB) with 1.3625 vcore. I ran prime95 for 24 hours and no problems. I used it...

PhysX F.A.Q. Compilation of questions I am finding throughout the forum.

When I try using Physx Mirror's Edge, it says it's unsupported on my card (8800 GTS 512). I have the 181.22 drivers. I tried installing the Phyx system pack thing (which I thought was included with the drivers) and nothing works and I'm confused. I thought it worked on all 8 or higher series...

I think something's up with my PC. Terrible graphics performance.

I'm about as far from an expert as you can get, but you never actually said what motherboard you're using. Maybe that could help?

Strange display trouble

I got my new Benq e2200hd the other day, and the problem is this: when I have it connected by DVI, after I log in to Windows XP the display freaks out and then shows a static, messed up image. This doesn't happen over VGA, and I tried a different DVI cable and it gave the same problem. It...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

I am using a Samsung 2032NW. Because of the cheap prices of the new 16:9 21.5" LCDs I really want to buy a one and sell this. I've found several models, but there are hardly any reviews. Acer H213H bmid BenQ E2200HD ViewSonic VX2260wm And I know Samsung and LG have similar models on the...

Logitech Z-4 Satellite

A mysterious scratch appeared on the center speaker of the right satellite on my Logitech Z-4s, and now there is slight buzzing. Is there any way I could get a replacement satellite, or somewhere I could buy one from? This is driving me nuts.

No sound, GA-P35-DS3l

I got it figured out. Apparently it thought it was an unkown pci device, so the drivers on the cd did not apply. I just manually updated the drivers and its all good.

I'm wanting to build a gaming rig...

I just realized that I do have a synth that I would like to plug into my comp to record, so I would probably want an audio card to do this. What are some cost effective ones? And I'm also considering getting a 22" (or maybe one of the odd sizes in between?). While not necessary, it may be a...

I'm wanting to build a gaming rig...

Thanks for your advice, but there's a couple things I'm still unclear about. First is the PSU- I trust that 500W is enough, but if I want to upgrade my video card or go quad core in a year or two, would it still be enough? Or would it be best to get a new one when the time comes? Then, I was...

I'm wanting to build a gaming rig...

So here's the deal. I want to build a computer both for gaming and general use. The problem is, I'm extremely inexperienced and have never built a comp before. I will outline the plan, then go into the ambiguous things and questions. My price range is ~$1000 (preferably under, but I'm...
