    Config for Mid-Range Gaming PC

    hmm...so 4850e isn't available in India yet. :| Btw, according to some reviews, Abit IP-35E has some kind of double boot issue (not sure if its fixed yet) and Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H turned out very poor results in some games when coupled with 8800GT. Is it because that board fancies Radeon cards...

    Config for Mid-Range Gaming PC

    For some time I believed that it will be able to use Hybrid Graphics with ATI 4850, which I'm planning to buy now. :( Staying on 4850s, how does the new X2 4850e compare to X2 4800+, i know its energy efficient and all but is it actually slower than the other one or their performance level is...

    I can't rule out the possibility of overclocking the CPU in future. Its just that I won't do it right away. Tell me overclocked AMDs still run much hotter than those Intels. :P Anyway, I'm not an Intel fanboy or anything, so put forward your suggestions for an AMD setup as well. That hybrid...

    Config for Mid-Range Gaming PC

    I'm confused between Corsair 450VX and Coolermaster Extreme Power Plus 460W. I don't mind paying a bit extra if the Corsair PSU is that good. The question - is it worth the extra money? Also, how important is an aftermarket cooler in case one doesn't overclock the CPU as much?

    Config for Mid-Range Gaming PC

    haha...rightly said. i know it will be wasted as i'll only be gaming occasionally. i wanted something thats kinda future proof, something that can easily last another 2-3 years. i dont want to be facing a situation within this time when i want to play a game but my gpu is incapable of handling...

    None of the recommended boards have on-board gfx. I cud have waited a bit longer for a 8800GT price drop. :P With these boards, I'll have to get a GPU immediately. :( How about EVGA 112-CK-NF75-K1? Also, how does Zebronics Bijli compare to Cooler Master Elite 334? Its available for around 1.7K...

    PC Peripherals Squeak noise??

    I'll check the fans again but I think the PSU or the mobo is at fault. Could that be due to leakage in motherboard capacitors? The squeaky sound, I mean...is it possible?

    Config for Mid-Range Gaming PC

    So, I think its time again for me to go shopping for computer hardware. My total budget is 25K [max] and I won't need the following - HDDs, Optical Drives, Input Devices, Monitor. The budget I've in mind for CPU+Mobo is 7K. A bit here and there is okay and my 25K budget must include a 2.1...

    PC Peripherals Squeak noise??

    Well, I wanted to overhaul the entire system in a month or so. I don't want to spend even a penny on this now. I was hoping that the existing components will last till the time I assemble a new PC. :P Seems I'll have to make the purchase sooner than that. Will make a new thread inviting...

    PC Peripherals Squeak noise??

    Nope the PSU is a Mercury 350W which is around 4 years old. I've checked the fans and don't think there's any problem. I've cleaned them a week ago. :P Optical drives?? umm..don't think so coz they were not in use at that time. HDDs? possible. @_pappu_: don't think its the mouse coz i cud...

    PC Peripherals Squeak noise??

    For the past few days, I'm facing an unusual problem with my PC. I sometimes notice a squeak noise coming from my computer. First I thought its the speakers, but its not. Its definitely coming from somewhere inside the cabinet. When I turned on the PC with the case open, I couldn't hear the...
