Re: useing addtion video card for physics processor

The requirements for PhysX processor are at least 32 CUDA cores and 256MB memory. I hope you got enough power supply and nice temperatures inside your case though. I tried running a GTX 260 as a dedicated PhysX processor once and it seems to run in 3D mode even in desktop so the temperatures are hig...

I guess this replaces the CM 590 and they won't make a CM 590 II :D

Re: AMD Phenom II X6 Processors in May 2010

Yeah I've been listening to an interview with Damon Munzy from AMD a few hours ago and it really piqued my curiousity. The price is really making this a very tempting product. Also would love to see how that new Turbo-Core of theirs performs when the reviews come out.

Re: Power Supply Reliability Question

Why did you buy a new power supply? Doesn't Corsair have like 5 year warranty?

Definitely have your home electrical checked. Also surge protectors work wonders (for your main and the plug-in ones).

There is nothing attached to the motherboard's 4-pin right now where I took out the old fan. EDIT: I fl...

Win7 won't enter sleep mode automatically

Scenario: My DX58SO's IOH fan is really loud and has a crazy bright LED so I decided to replace it with a quieter fan from an old 3.5-5.25 mount. Now I wanted to monitor my IOH temperatures when I run stress tests to see what temps I'm reaching so I installed Intel Control Desktop Centre as it is th...
