anyone up for it?

Also they have the cooler master HAF 922 for $80 then $70 after rebate. How is this case?

thanks a lot! Sorry for so many questions, but I appreciate the help!

please don’t forget to contact me!;)

The fan on my 4890 has been making wierd buzzing noises on/off for some time now,at least 4 months,It seems to only do it though when the fans rps slows down and the fans spinning around 50% speed,If i raise the speed of the fan the noise goes but im thinking that the fan will eventualy fail?

i have contacted XFX about it and told them,They said that if i send it out to them they will have a look at it for me…. But do XFX still make the 4890 series? for replacement? or would they just replace the fan?

Also what im concerned about is….like i said it does not do it all the time,it just randomly starts buzzing and what im worried about is that when it arrives at XFX and they test it,If it does not make a noise them they might just send it back to me and say theres nithing wrong with it! :cool:

What you guys think?

EDIT:Anyone know why my card idles at 500Mhz?….iirc it used to idle at 250Mhz on the older drivers!

Im still running on stock cooling, which seems to be garbage from what i hear….ive ordered a new cooler master Hyper cooler, but wont arrive for a few days and i want to play on my new pc =( do these temps seem normal?
can i get by while i wait for my new cooler? i was planning on overclocking but i guess not on this rinky dink intel cooler. btw i the games i play are "Heroes Of Newerth" and "Starcraft2" any help would be much appreciated!

my internet has been crashing… normally when my internet crashes the cable box says…."orange light" = no signal on the "cable" light area… when its green its good

i’ve been noticing my modem completely reseting itself (no orange light for loss of signal) and then having a hard time figuring the status out on itself… everything is green but the status is flashing and it won’t connect my computer.

normally i’d just guess my isp is being a Dbag… but the reseting itself seems like a new problem…. i have a dlink dcm202 modem…i’ve had it for 2 years now… maybe its time is up?

thanks!

It crashes more in a month then when I ran Vista without SP1 for a year. The Windows app are complete garabage like WMP, MS office and outlook. I just do not understand how MS planned to compete with such a product. There app store is a joke, it has a fraction of the apps as andriod and apple, and when you read the reviews for the apps a portion of them are glitchy or just don’t work. Some say wait for Windows Mobile 7, but I do not think I would ever trust another MS mobile product again.

I wrote this to see people’s input and opinions of Windows Mobile, and to warn anyone who might be thinking of buying a smart phone of the OS they should reconsider. I guess I should have trusted in a mobile linux OS like andriod.

On a plus they are working on a hack to install andriod on the HD2 which I am excited for, the ones they have tested looks to be promising.

Computer #1: Can boot into the BIOS, can’t boot into windows. Tried to boot into Western Digital’s bootable CD to run diagnostics on the HDD, can’t. Temperatures are fine.

Computer #2: Boots into Windows and shuts off after about 70 seconds each time. Was overheating (80C in BIOS) but after giving it a good cleaning it sat around 60C while in the BIOS, it seems as though the high CPU temperature was not the problem after all. Ran the Western Digital diagnostic CD on this computer and it passed the quick test fine, didn’t restart either.

Both computers can sit in the BIOS and will not restart.

I’m looking for any insight, thanks CF!

I own 2 games on this computer, Left 4 Dead 2 and Call of Duty 2. I’ve been trying to enjoy them, and I can, at least for a few minutes at a time. After about 5-15 minutes into play, all audio will just completely cut out. Internet, iTunes, games, Windows sounds, everything. Dead silent. And the only way I can get any sound back is a full restart. Also, this will only happen with Call of Duty 2 when I’m playing multiplayer, never singleplayer. With Left 4 Dead 2 it always happens whether I’m playing online or not. This has happened ever since we got the computer months ago.

I know this problem has something to do with the sound card, because I’ve tried playing with different speakers hooked up and gotten the same issue.

Will I be able to do something with my current sound card to make this problem go away? Or will I need to replace the sound card? Also if I end up having to replace it, how can I be sure another card will fix the problem before I go out and buy it?

It’s EXTREMELY frustrating and I just want to get this figured out before I get new games. My specs are below, thanks in advance!

I threw away the original box a while ago, so what would be the best way to package the monitor so that it survives the move?

i want to give freenas another chance (was a real pain setting up user permissions before)

n-e-ways, i have a rosewill rc-2009-ex 4 sata port pci adapter. it obviously does not do hardware raid.

i was looking for a hardware raid card on newegg, but they all cost an arm or a leg, some cost both :D and i don’t want to spend any more than a P3 is worth :P

does anybody have any experience with linux software raid on a relatively old cpu? is it really as bad as they say it is?

i want to get three of the WD RE3 1tb drives if it matters.

thanks

I have a friend who has an Fujitsu Amilo Pro v3515 Laptop that has only a 40GB HDD and needs help finding a higher capacity and speed for his laptop.

However, the manual and online guides don’t give supported speeds or max capacity, the current drive is 5400rpm.

So will a 7200rpm be supported by his laptop? with a capacity of 500GB or more?

Please advise,
Thank You
