Strange Hotmail Issue

I'm not sure this is the best place for this message, but I'm hoping someone can help. My sister uses hotmail for email and has for years. Recently, when she emails her fiancee, her emails are ending up in his junk email every time, and not only that, several more emails from other hotmail...

Crysis - (PC game) + $10 gift card for $39.99

Ditto. The girl at the counter was completely clueless, so she called someone over. He said it's supposed to be $49.99 and a free $10 gift card. He wouldn't budge and said he had the same argument with someone else earlier. He wasn't very apologetic, but I bought the game anyway. For the...

What's wrong with my monitor?

Hi all, I have a Dell 2405FPW that I've owned for a little under two years. It's worked fine until recently. I was using VGA from my notebook to connect it, and I started noticing flickering lines going up around the screen. I figured it might be VGA, so I ignored it. I recently got a new...

Warning..not a computer related part!

Crutchfield's prices are not always the best, but their customer service and support makes up for it. Free return shipping if you return something, live support on pretty much any product, and if you order car audio equipment, they usually throw in the accessories you need to install it for free.

Cyberpowerinc Turbo X-Infinity v. Dell Dimension 4700

Cyberpower probably uses less proprietary parts, but I wouldn't order from them. There's just as many horror stories as there are positive stories. Sure, Dell's not exactly lighting it up in the customer satisfaction department either, but at least you know you can get support from them --...

Asus A8N SLI Motherboard, 2 6800GTs, 2 NV Silencers, 2 PCI Cards

Hi all, I've got an SLI rig with two eVGA 6800GTs. I also have two PCI cards installed in my system (sound card and TV tuner). I'm interested in installing NV Silencers on each of my video cards, but I'm not sure if everything will still fit. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks!

BFG 6800gt OC PCI Express 475.00

Chumbo does have some good prices on the 6800GT PCI-E cards, but you'll likely not find it in stock again for months. Considering the rarity of these cards, I think this is a about as good of a deal as you're going to get right now for these cards.

Hi all, I have an SLI rig that's running really hot (FX-55: 70-75C under load). It's also a fairly loud rig as you might expect with two GeForce 6800GTs. Anyway, my desk is currently up against the back wall in my basement. On the other side of the wall is our laundry/storage room. Rather...

My Velocity Micro Raptor DualX SLI Review

Well, I downloaded Prime95 again and ran the most CPU intensive test (my CPU usage was at 100% the whole time). The temp via Asus Probe went to 72C, 61C in Everest. I suspect you're right about Asus Probe being accurate. As for those ambient temps, I don't see how they could possibly be...

My Velocity Micro Raptor DualX SLI Review

Now here's an interesting twist. I downloaded Everest and it's reporting my CPU temperature at about 40C idle, 44C after running 3DMark03 and 3DMark05 back-to-back. At the same time, Asus Probe is saying my CPU temperature is 50C idle (I had just turned on the PC), and 66C after the two...

My Velocity Micro Raptor DualX SLI Review

Are you saying that you don't think this will remedy the problem? The motherboard and video card temperatures seem pretty normal, so I just don't think the CPU is getting enough cooling. As for your mod suggestion, I'd have no idea how to do anything like that. If I was the type to modify...

Thanks for your advice. I'll try Everest this evening when I get home from work. The video card temperatures aren't really what I'm worried about. They do idle at fairly high temperatures (upwards of 50C), but from what I've read and experienced, this is actually on the lower end of what...

My Velocity Micro Raptor DualX SLI Review

As an update, the machine has still been running hot, but stable. I had one lockup after about an hour of playing HL2, but I'd turned up the clock speed on the video cards to 400/1.1. That probably isn't advisable considering the heat of the rig, but I checked the temperatures for the video...

My Velocity Micro Raptor DualX SLI Review

I played HL2 for about an hour last night with this rig and immediately went to Asus Probe to check the temps. It reported the processor at 75C. I've had zero stability problems with the machine so far, so I'm wondering if this is accurate. I'm running the latest bios revision and the latest...
