Hi there, I am in need of help setting my memory to the correct speed (or maybe OC'ing) and enableing the OC Panel control on the motherboard itself. Specs... MSi 790FX-GD70 motherboard AMD pII x4 965 BE - Stock 8 gigs of Corsair XMS3 1600 Here are the readings right now per CPUZ... NB...

Your setup is going to be similar to the one I just built:toast:. Few words of advice.. -Before you checkout at newegg, google "newegg promo codes" and do a quick search to see if anything your buying happens to be on there (I saved $30 on my 5870 etc...) -get the Corsair PSU...the...

You can rotate the cage 90 degrees I believe. I mounted it as per the picture in the instructions, but I believe you can turn it around. The case turned out to be awesome...I think you were actually the one who suggested it btw (thank you). It has holes everywhere to route all your connections...

:laugh: I was about to post that... Hey, one more thing....My Alienware I recently retired was usually left running 24-7/365 for YEARS. I always went by the rule it was better to leave it running + sleep with a shut-down every now and then compared to constantly turning on and off. It seems to...

Thanks :toast:, I just wanted to get an aftermarket cooler while I was putting everything together just incase I ever decide to Overclock sometime down the road (so I wont have to take things apart/clean off thermal paste etc.) . Yeah I know it probably isnt the best (almost bought that...

That sounds easy enough (and what I was planning to do) but when I get to the BIOS itself it gets rather confusing as its not layed out as simply as "Set this to this" when I change something off of the "auto" setting 20 other sub menu's that I have no clue about drop down and I get lost. Ill...

Anyone have a link to the benchmark program? I have a 5870 (965 BE) all stock and have been running 1900x1080 with natural mod+very high settings and its run great so far (in my eyes atleast) but im sure Ill have to back it down eventually when the action get crazier in the later levels. But...

Hey Guys, first of all thanks for the help in picking out my parts and for the advice given. Heres how it turned out.... Everything went as smooth as I could have hoped. I actually had all the wires zip-tied and everything completely together before testing to...

before you checkout (if using newegg) do a quick google search for "newegg promo codes"....i found $30 off a 5870 & a couple of other codes that save me almost 90 bucks jus sayin.

I just got a 5870, but that was because I found a $30 dollar discount code....otherwise I would have just got the 5850. There really insnt THAT much of a difference in the two from what I've read, and supposedly the 5850 OC's really well. So If you cant use CF then I would sell the other 5850 &...

Thanks again for all the responses. :toast: Seems like im a claw grip so I'll have to check out some of the stuff you guys suggested. Again, im just happy Ill have something that I can actually game on again. The last PC game I tried running was the original BF2 because all My friends had...
