    New Basic Build (E6300 fried!)

    Alright, just about to pull the trigger. But before I do, I'm having some angst about the mobo choice. I'm thinking I may be able to stretch my budget just a little more if it'll be a better overclocker (which I plan on doing at some point down the road, perhaps aggressively) and USB 3.0. Is...

    New Basic Build (E6300 fried!)

    Great, I'm getting ready to order soon. One more Q, since it's been so long -- will the processor come with a heatsink? I know I'm gonna get some new AS5 to go along with it.

    New Basic Build (E6300 fried!)

    Thanks Danny. I do have a legit copy of Windows Vista. As for memory, I think I may choose to break my budget and just go for the 4gb since I would want to get some new DDR3 regardless. In that case, I wouldn't have to upgrade it as quickly going forward. About the PSU - would it still...

    New Basic Build (E6300 fried!)

    OCP! My CPU fan died on my 3+ year old Intel E6300 proc, frying it. I overclocked that CPU throughout its life and it performed really well for me. Ironically, it wasn't the overclocking per se that did it in, but some combination of dust buildup in the heatsink, arctic silver paste that was...

    Help a Newb Out

    It's been 2-3 years since I've been keeping track of PC hardware so bear with me. I've got a Core 2 due (stock 1.86ghz but I run it at ~3.0ghz). My old 7900gt video card is literally dying on me (3/4 of the time I start up, my monitor shuts off, gives off a high-pitched whine, and the 'on'...

    THQ/Relic thinks EA sucks(COH screen)

    Just a quick diversion from the thread -- Anyone know a place that sells cdkeys for COH? I don't need the physical copy (or is that illegal?). I'm goin' off to school in a couple of days and I'd like to get some play sessions in but no place closeby has it in stock.

    WTB Company Of Heroes

    WTB COH with unused cdkey. I'm mostly interested in just the cdkey but per hardforum policy I will take the cd as well. Willing to pay 40$+, open to negotiation. PM me, I'm itchin' to play the game and its sold out here. Thanks.

    EA Dis hehe.. Not by me..

    The chances of it being unintentional are: 10 x 24 x 10 x 24 x 24 x 10 = 13,824,000 to 1. I'm gonna guess it wasn't just a coincidence ^^

    My Battlefield 2142 Review

    Agreed, it might show them they won't make much money from buggy products. Maybe they'll work harder at providing quality stability/performance/buglessness in the future.

    Madden $100 million hit, u know thats gonna go to EA's head

    The problem isn't EA, they're doing what their mandate says to do: make profit. The problem is that there is no competition for NFL games. Because this is the case, they have no reason to improve the game in a really significant way each year. Instead, they know they'll make more money making...

    CPU temps vs System temps

    Ahhh, I see, awesome. Yeah, my northbridge is pretty hot, I can't put my finger to it before a few seconds before it's searing. Gotcha, makes sense.

    CPU temps vs System temps

    According to both BIOS and my gigabyte monitoring software, my CPU runs about 33C idle. It also tells me that my system temp is about 41C idle. Is this even possible? It seems as though something is wrong. I thought CPU temps were always higher than system temps. As well, when I touch the CPU...
