    6800 GT vs 9800 Pro

    Here is the nifty thing right now, used 9800 pro's right now are being sold like hotcakes. If you watch carefully you can easily get them BELOW $150. A new GT is ~$400. A used 9800 pro is $130. Do that math and it doesn't pan out =/ Just sone old guys oppinion. My goal is to snag a 6600 GT...

    CPU Temps higher after trying higher vcore... ???

    Ahh...finally got it. Also, explainable then. The smaller part geometries (130 nm, 90 nm) etc mean smaller barriers to stop electron leakage (also known as leakage currents). The smaller the geometry, the less tolerant the parts are to overvoltages. If he cranked is Vcore up too "high" he...

    CPU Temps higher after trying higher vcore... ???

    Simple Ohms Law Power = Voltage * Current. Since the system is digital, the currents will be approximately the same (assuming frequency is the same). Therefore by increasing the voltage you just increased the power dissipation. End of story...

    Why isn't our electricity a higher frequency?

    The main reason why 60 Hz was chosen by Tesla has little to do with science. The biggest theory, and most widly adopted, is that Tesla believe that 60 Hz was the "Fundamental Frequency of the Universe". Some other information that may be of use. Orignally Westinghouse wanted 133 Hz because of...

    Why isn't our electricity a higher frequency?

    I believe you are incorrect; 50 and 70 Hz are more dangerous. From what I have read over the years and can validate from phyiscs.about.com: 1890?s: Edison, seeking to discredit AC power, to the benefit of his DC power system, employed an engineer, named Harold Brown to tour the country. In the...

    Can You Damage A Motherboard by Plugging Something In the Parralel Port While The Computer Is Running?

    If the board was built correctly and your peripherals were built correctly (i.e the guy who did the design actually implemented common sense instead of trying to save $) it shouldn't break. This is the way it was only a few years ago. In this day and age every possible short cut is made to...

    KT7 raid--no boot

    Do in the following order 1. Try a different power supply. Since it is only boot, a 200W should do find if you have no perphs on it. 2. If it still doesn't do it, I would be willing to bet it is the Motherboard. Which, means you will have to RMA it or return it to the vendor -Navi
