    Vista 64bit RAM idles 90% used on average...

    Just a thought but is that 8400GS a turbocache model? This would explain the extra RAM usage as it caches back to system RAM for the resolution on your third screen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbocache Turbocache

    post pics of ur p180/p182/190s

    Chaps, I posted in here ages ago and just wanted to say that the case is still magic and apart from one of the stock fans failing again it is still in great shape (despite a house move). Your pics contiue to inspire me to upgrade and reshape my internals - shame I'm too lazy to do anything...

    X1950 help -Artifacting.

    Thanks for the replies. Sorry I cannot provide too much more information as he lives miles away so I cannot see it with my own 2 eyes.. I know it is PCIe and I think the motherboard is an MSI K9n-Neo, he is running 2g Kingston ddr2-667 and an AMD 3800 Single core. It does look to me like...

    X1950 help -Artifacting.

    Hello, My friend has had a x1950 512mb (he doesn't know if pro or xtx) for 8 months. He has binned the receipt and the box (doh!) and now it appears to be artifacting like this: I have asked him to run ATI tool tonight to check. I'm afraid that is as far as my knowledge of the ATI brand...

    Q6600 B3 Running High Temperatures at Stock

    Unfortunatley the B3 revision does run hot, there are good chips and bad ones - It may well be that unfortunately you got a bad one. My friend also had a bad one and we tried the methodlogy that you are following all had no success except for an unlapped TRUE 120 which did drop the temps by...

    post pics of ur p180/p182/190s

    @MZL Looking very nice there, you should be proud... it was worth the [H]ard work wasn't it! Now you just need a decent CPU heatsink and start clocking that puppy!!!

    @Mzl Much better with the PSU the right way up! Next see if you can tidy around your PSU and HDDs, Other than that it's looking first class.

    Here is mine as it stands at the moment. Future modifications include: 4 Sharkoon SE 2000 120mm fans Zalman fan controller Replacing front fan filter doors with some sort of mesh to increase air flow. SATA DVD/RW Maybe different heatsink/water? Oh and a tidy :p

    Put my CPU under water - Advise me!

    For modding the case I could remove both HDD cages and put my to HDDs in caddies in the optical bay, or remove the top HDD cage and use part of the Optical bay... basically any combination that will let me keep 2 Optical drives and 2 HDDs. If I could get away with leaving part/all of it on...

    Put my CPU under water - Advise me!

    Thanks for the reply, I assume I would external mount these on the top of the case? Would I still be able to use my top 120mm fan? Also anything that would fit internal, with a six year old who loves computers and how they work I want to keep this as fool proof as possible.

    Put my CPU under water - Advise me!

    Hi all, I have been well and truly bitten by the bug to constantly upgrade and I think now is the time for me to go for watercooling. I believe I have all that I need in the way of hardware (in sig) as I usually go for "bang for buck" rather than top of range; and don't feel the need to...

    P5N-E SLI Boot issue

    I believe that their used to be an issue with this board that the BIOS wouldn't allow Core2s to boot. Some people had to use an old 775 Celeron or something to get it to boot and then update the BIOS. Pretty sure that this isn't the issue here but what is your BIOS revision, should say on...

    why bottom mount psu chambers in new cases?

    I think the way it works (at least for the P182) is that as the PSU is isolated at the bottom, the heat from the CPU &H/S and Mobo and GPU don't constantly heat the PSU. So the air the PSU sucks in is colder. This way you avoid hot air from all components making the PSU intake air hot before...
