    RX series undervolt. How much have you undervolted it ?

    Apart from state 5 (1015) and 6 (1025) the rest is stock. The temps are mostly due to water-cooling. With the fans on it ran past 70'C.

    RX series undervolt. How much have you undervolted it ?

    My RX 480 is happy with 1030 mV max. Anything below that and it starts slowing down in games. Helps quite nicely with temperatures. On stock it goes all the way to 43'C while undervolting brings it down to 39'C. Which means less heat in the loop. Yeah, I am one of those idiots.

    Benefits of NVME for casual PC users?

    In the described use case, hardly anything. Yes, the whole system will be a little snappier, but nothing like going from HDD to SSD. You might have more effect from a little more RAM. On a slight tangent... I just put together a system where I use a very sad 2.5" 5400 rpm disk as a system drive...

    How fast is really a PCIe M.2 (NVMe) SSD?

    Last Friday my C: moved from a Samsung 840 EVO 128 to a Samsung 960 EVO M.2 250. Definitely not worth it. Even worse on a motherboard with only PCIe 2.0 which means the top read speed is at 1650 Mb/s with write speeds a little behind. Pure file operations are much faster, but it is not an...

    Absolute best single core performance?

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R - never played Clear Sky before now. I am up to the church on the swamp sweep. Graphics on DX 10.1 everything (also in advanced settings) on max at 1680 x 1050. No stutters so far. The sun effects are pretty - too pretty for the Zone :) It seems to be using only one core which...

    Weird crashes are driving me nuts

    If the memory test has been run for a couple of hours we can leave the RAM alone for now. With heat issues from overclocking taken care of we are looking at the PSU, the motherboard or software. My bets would be on the PSU or the motherboard. Since “waiting a few minutes before doing the...

    ---------- Quad Overclock Thread! ----------

    Qx6600 G0 @ 3.20 Ghz. 8x400. 63'C stable overnight. Intel stock cooling on an ASUS Maximus Extreme. Sorry about the low number - only got the computer together two days ago and was just fooling around on the second startup :)

    Maximus Extreme liquid cooling??

    PCTC2 is right. Writing this on a two-day old computer featuring the Maximus I can add a few elaborations. -It does not need water-cooling, but it is ready for it. -The extra little fan is intended to help with cooling if the CPU is water-cooled. Poking around, ASUS has a point - the copper...

    Vista SP1(beta)- Available to the general public next-week

    Sluggish BF2142 Performance

    Nice rig, but that Sempron is sticking out like a sore thumb. Good CPU for most things, but BF is peculiar. And if you have to run the sound in software, better get a new sound card - that really makes a difference. Leave the memory for now - you have plenty and adding more or consolidating...

    torrents freeze my computer

    So you are running a brand new system with four year old components? Well, that might be OK, but I suggest you start by throwing out the old network card and use the motherboard LAN instead. It should be better anyway, and it might solve what sounds like a network related problem (XP rather...

    nvm, dont think i need a HDD now.....

    Seagate 7200.10 series are probably good - at least that's what I hear. From personal experience, the Samsung SpinPoints are quiet, cool and cheap. As for reliable, I haven't had a hard drive crash hard in the last five years - some Samsung, some WD, one IBM Deathstar :)

    A shot in the dark (for dark read all the information absent from your post); get the software in law9933's sig, physically disconnect your computer from the Internet and run all the scans.

    Ethical motherboards / graphics cards

    Core 2 vs Pentium D

    I swear by AMD, but even I will admit that Core 2 Duo is currently (until sometime next year), the best CPU out there. And I used to snigger at the various Pentiums... Intel seems to have turned a new page first with Pentium M and now with Core 2.

    iTunes 7

    Oh why, oh why did I install version x.0 of anything when what I had was working fine? Stuttering, hangs and hiccups with an Audigy 4 on a decent machine. Starts playing fine, but degrades after a couple of minutes. Will wait for Apple to fix this (and probably a black hole of other...

    IS it better to upgrade video or hard drive??

    Myst and Riven isn't very demanding on the graphic side. If they work now, don't fix'em. Going from 5400rpm to 7200rpm is noticable and recommended. Things will load a little quicker. Also, there should be other benefits in a new drive, such as less noise and more space. SATA is nice, but...

    AMD fanboys,time to admit.

    So Intel has finally caught up with little AMD. Great! That means competition either on price or speed. It's probably good for AMD to get a kick from time to time. So Conroe is faster; but not by so much - looks more like evolution than some quantum leap. Me, I'm happy with good old...

    Server memory in a desktop?

    If memory says "ECC" (and server memory usually does), then check if desktop motherboard says "ECC" (most desktop motherboards don't). Or you could do as I once did - try. No boot, nothing.

    Laptop very slow and sluggish

    I've got an HP Omnibook way older than yours and it was so happy with a shiny new Samsung 40Gb it even started getting usable :) Unless HP changed their ways, be prepared for a little more convoluted way of swapping the drive than usual, but I'm sure you can handle it - nothing dangerous...

    Trying to Set up simple network

    You've gotten good help already (Ethernet is the standard :) ), but I'd suggest that you get a router (a smart hub), with a built-in firewall. Not much of a price difference and it'll save you grief later.

    USB 2.0 Flash Drives - Choices, choices...

    Yes, there are genetics at play here. Probably lots of them. Different people reacts differently to various food. As a GENERAL rule, I'd say fast food is bad while activity is good. I suspect that in 10-20 years there will be a menu based on your DNA. There is also a problem between the...

    The 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time

    Good list, but Windows ME is numero uno here - Microsoft went far in admitting that it was, well, not as good as it might have been :) And the Zip dosn't belong there at all - it's a good product. If it had been out a couple of years earlier and/or cost a little less... I'd nominate...
