Damm, up until looking at that picture I thought those things were pretty much safe to use. I was thinking of getting one myself, but...hmm...I don't know maybe I'll still risk it, supposedly Corsair will replace anything damaged in case it does leak...hopefully it didn't damage anything else...

I've read similar BIOS issues with my Asus board as well, I think this has more to do with it being a completely new CPU architecture than board quality. I haven't had any issues with my P8P67 Deluxe but I have read issues that some people needed their new BIOS update, (amazing they already...

I tried to do it before the install, but after installing Windows it would only recognize the 1 60GB partition and didn't see anything else. Any idea why it would do that and how to avoid it? It's Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate on an Asus P8P67 Deluxe board.

I recently built a new computer and I'm having issues partitioning the drives the way I'd like. I have 2 Western Digital Black 500GB drives setup in RAID 0, that part I got working just fine so the PC sees it as one 930GB (give or take a few) drive. I want to setup 3 partitions; 2 small...

It will be on a new socket called AM3+ . AM3 boards will not support the newer bulldozer chips. AMD wanted to avoid a new socket but it was necessary to get the speed gains to compete against Intel. MSI is already releasing their AM3+ board so either they are really f-ing early or bulldozer...

Good advice, I was just thinking this earlier today. Still on the fence when it comes to going SSD....I want this to perform well for years....but I would really like to get a nice large LED monitor. I think I have my answer, thanks!

I'm sorry but I have to call BS on this one. I've been a member of various forums for a long time and I've been banned before, but I've only received one IP ban and it was temporary. If you have been banned multiple times you are probably doing something you shouldn't, and that "it was my...

That's an older board so it will support SLI, most of the newer AMD boards won't though. If you were to buy a new board today and wanted SLI with Nvidia cards your only option would be to go with Intel. You've got a faster PC than I have so I don't know if you should wait or not, but I'm...

Intel's enthusiast chips are scheduled to be released 4th quarter of this year, these will be on socket 2011. I'm not quite as sure about AMD's Bulldozer chip but I think the last time I read they were aiming for a summer release. I believe that will be on an AM3+ socket, but I'm not quite...

Your computer obtains its IP address either from a home router or ISP modem with DHCP enabled. This would give it an internal IP address, (such as 192.168.0.17 as this user has been assigned by his router or modem). But the ipconfig /release and renew command may also release your ISPs IP...

If you are directly connected to the modem you got from your ISP you can open up a command prompt and type ipconfig /release to release your IP address, then type ipconfig /renew to get another, this should do the same as unplugging the modem. It might not work if that modem has DHCP turned on...

The only difference between the 2500k and the 2600k is mostly hyper-threading....which you probably would want considering how you will be using your PC. If you were mostly just gaming I'd say go with the 2500k and save $100, but it might be worth it to you. As for your motherboard, you...

I'm about to build a new PC and I'm either going to get EVGA's superclocked GTX 570 or their superclocked 580. I'm not sure if I need the power from a 580 though, so I don't know if it's worth the extra $200 or not. I will have dual monitors, one is a 1680 x 1050 monitor I'd use as a secondary...

You could get a workstation, both Dell and HP are pretty much leaders in this area, but unless you have a specific use for a workstation it would not be overkill, it would just be a complete waste of money. A workstation can run anywhere from $2500 on the very low end to up to $10,000 depending...

Intel boards support both Nvidia and AMD/ATI cards in SLI/Crossfire configuration. Only AMD motherboards are limited to only allow Crossfire configurations. As for which to go with, the new Intel Sandy Bridge chips run circles around AMDs flagship 6 core processor. Not only that but they have...
