I have an ASROCK motherboard, It has an AGP slot on it now, which I am currently using, and a PCIe x16 slot on it. I am currently looking to upgrade my graphics card to something a little more powerful (Not 100% sure what yet). On all the reviews of my motherboard, it says that the x16 slot only...

I have some spare cash to use this summer, I think I am going to put it into my PC; below are my specs: CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe 2.13GHz (No OCing, Stock HS) Mobo ASRock 775Dual-VSTA (Bit of a cheap motherboard, But it had an AGP slot - When I was buying it, I wanted to use my...

I should have mentioned this before, But the whole project is going to be based around World of Warcraft, i am going to sketch a design around the whole box with a WoW theme and paint it on; with that, the 360 is going to have to be capable of playing WoW.. I dont think that the onboard video...

For a while now I have been tring to design a new project for me to work on, This inspired me to make something similar to it. I plan to do a few things that the original designer didnt do such as add a PCIe card into it. I am looking for opinions on what I am dreaming is going to work out...

I am working on a project that requires me to use a mATX motherboard in it due to the size. It doesn't have to do a whole lot, The only thing that I need to do is to be capable of playing World of Warcraft (This is the basis of my project) - I don't think that I need a "gaming" mATX motherboard...

I actually have that driver installed on my computer... I think my xorg.conf file isnt set right because twice after installing thoes drivers I had to re-do xorg because I screwed stuff up.. should I be replacing "vesa" with something else? That is what the xorg file had suggested that I...

Hmm Well it seems like I messed up something then, I cant play WoW at all.. I get <1FPS... I have seen people get well into the thousands with glxgears, I thought my 250 was low - but now that I hear ATI sucks under "X" disappoints me >.>.. Are there better Opensource drivers or something I...

I use iTunes.. With an iPod its really the best thing to use IMO - And theres no question weather or not it is legal or not.

Thanks for the information guys, I think I first have to work out the possible problem I am having with my xorg config/drivers.. I have detailed information on my problem here: Video Issues with Radeon X1600XT. Not sure what I screwed up. - Ubuntu Forums No one responded though.

Well, currently I have Ubuntu on a slave drive in my computer, I have been working on slowly migrating over to Ubuntu but I have hit a little snag along the way... World of Warcraft. I play it like a lot more the I should be playing it, This is the only thing that is really holding me back from...

I aggree with ATI sometimes having screwy drivers, I would take a look at Omega Drivers. They greatly helped the performance on my x1600xt card.

I dont see how that did not work, on ALL computer, simply taking out the CMOS battery will reset BIOS

oops.. sorry i meant to type GUIDE sorry:x:

Could you link the model you are looking at? And, Unless you are planning to OC. I would say that it is unneeded. Actually, IMO having the retail cooler is fine if you are not going to OC either. So I would say since you are getting a 3rd party cooling fan, you will be fine without a duct...

When you said "Battery" do you mean the LAPTOP battery or the CMOS battery? I would guess that you only took the laptop battery out.. what you are going to need to do is unplug your laptop, take out the laptop battery, and then take the bottom off your laptop and take out the CMOS battery...

I would say the first thing you should do is go out and buy a can of air and blow out your whole computer and pay special attention to the CPU area, I would also buy a new thermal compound (I reccomend Artic Silver). Clean all the thermal compound off your CPU and reapply the new Thermal...

Sounds like your bearings are shot.What size fans does it have it? I would look at Thermaltake fans, I have two of them in my computer, they are quite quite.

Are these temperatures according to a software program like Speedfan or according to your BIOS? Also, how long have you had this CPU for and did you keep the retail Thermal Paste on it, or did you buy another brand and apply it? Has this been like this for a while or was it gradual?

I wasnt to put a window kit on my Coolermaster CM5 case.. Nothing fancy, a rectangular/square with one(maybe 2) 120MM fans on it. I have never done a case modding to this magnitude, I do have a dremel though :cool: Would it be better if I bought a window kit rather then buying the parts at...

Thanks again Matt, I left the 80mm fan in overnight, and I noticed maybe a 1C difference in the temperature, and it was a little louder so I decided to take it out and put the duct back in it.
