I'm out of town today and I'll be back home tomorrow. When I get back, I'm gonna roll back GPU drivers, work on installing the Ageia PhysX PPU, work on SSD optimization for XP, see if I can remove the OEM extensions from the GPUs for better cooling (I'll go more in depth about this soon, stay tuned …

Thanks, guys. I wish there was something I could do about the mess directly coming out of the PSU, but these ribbon cables are terrible. I guess I could make some individually sleeved cables, but it works and I don't want to tear it down. 🤣

I have 5 current machines and a server in my modern computer room for LAN games. I guess I'll only throw up my main machine, even though I never use it unless friends are over to play games. It's too loud, hot, and hungry... :dead: Core I7 5960X Asus X99-E WS 32GB (8X4GB) Corsair DDR4 4X GTX Titan X …

This is so funny... I'm doing the exact thing right now: building the machine I had in late 2006. I went with a Core 2 Extreme X6800 and two 8800 GTXs. I still had my Pcpowerandcooling 1KW SR psu lying around. :-D You should start a build log thread of this system, I'd love to see it! Edit: Gonna …

Just wanted to bump this thread as a warning. I've never in all my years seen a leaky lithium cr2032, well, until recently that is... For some reason, this thread inspired me to open my 8 new in box Asus TUSL2 motherboards and check the coin cell batts for grins. 7 were fine (dead as can be), 1 was …

The latest nvidia drivers are BAD BAD BAD. Running the latest dx9.0C is fine, but try running nvidia 28.32s.

Ah, you're using desktop style cases!

Do you use them in a LAN btw? For LAN parties? :D I got a couple P3's myself but messed 2 of them up when I installed some Unreal XP-only patch so most older games won't even run on them anymore lol. They need a reinstall but I'm just too lazy to do that :P And dang, 500W PSU? :D Edit:Do you use …
