    HP ZR30w

    I am thinking about picking one of these monitors up, but I know my GTX 280 is woefully inadequate for BF3. I would love to hear any details on how owners of this monitor are doing with their various video-card combos, framerate wise at 2560x1600 resolution. Primarily I want to know if a...

    strange power up. bad PSU or case Switch?

    Funny that I came across this thread. I have this same exact problem tonight after I tried to plug a USB drive into my front USB port and it gave my computer a nasty static shock, powering it off. Now when I try to power it on again, I get the same behavior listed in the original post. I...

    Removing Tuniq 120's back plate

    I tried to do this a couple of days ago. I wasn't able to get the backplate off with any type of manual force, and I wouldn't go trying to pry it off with like a nail file or anything like that since you will certainly damage a capacitor. I'd say with the strength of the stickiness on the...

    Lap my Tuniq, my IHS, or both?

    I just got my lapping kit from easypckits. I had intended on lapping both my IHS and my Tuniq Tower (horrible finish on this one), but now I'm not sure if the temp drop will allow me to push further. Currently I'm about 12 hours into Orthos blend with the following settings: E6600 9x389...

    TuniqTower120

    Nice pics, what are your fan speeds set at with that config? When I lap my tuniq/IHS I plan on reorienting it the way that you have yours, with it drawing air in from the video card side and exhausting toward the top where my PSU and 1x 120mm exhaust is. I just don't understand much about fan...

    New rig built, temps seem too high E6600/Tuniq

    I was doing some Orthos last night, 9x375 for 3375mhz @ 1.375v and it died after about 7 hours according to the logs. Temps according to ITAT were in the 60-63 range under Orthos load at this speed. I bumped the voltage up to 1.3875 before I left for work, so we'll see if it's still up when I...

    New rig built, temps seem too high E6600/Tuniq

    Well the thing about the Tuniq stock fan is that it claims that its a special 9 blader that both does intake and exhaust at the same time (the air flows in both directions equally). So I dunno if much can be done there. I applied my AS5 exactly according to the diagram in their PDF. One...

    New rig built, temps seem too high E6600/Tuniq

    I recently built the rig described below in my sig. I feel like I am having some kind of issue with heat, particularly under load. I first built the system with the paste that comes with the Tuniq 120. I spread it all over the CPU heat spreader like I *thought* I was correct to do -- of...

    Please critique this 680i / E6600 build

    Everything I've read, including on this site, suggests that 750w is plenty adequate for SLI 8800 GTX. Kyle himself said that he has put the Silverstone through some ugly torture tests (see the holiday system build article/thread) , so I'm not worried about the need for more than that. I really...

    Madden 2006 SLI issues anyone?

    I have an FX-55 and a 6800GT SLI setup on a 23 inch hp l2335 widescreen monitor and it has a number of problems with Madden 2006. I have tried everything at this point but have been unable to get the game to run satisfactorily without massive screen tearing in AFR or straight up visual...
