    Computer goes into standby mode even while playing a game....

    I read about that, you could try the rthdribl test to verify that assumption about the mem overheating. If it turns out to be true, I would suggest you get hold of thermal pads from deejay or locally asap.

    Computer goes into standby mode even while playing a game....

    Your power profile is set correctly? When you say standby mode, is the comp behaving properly after you Alt+Tab from the game? You could simulate the scenario by running rthdribl for about 30mins or so and see the behaviour. Also run RivaTuner h/w monitoring in the background to capture the temps.

    Graphic Cards Removed the thermal pad on my 6800GT.

    Looks like you don't have a choice. 1. Get a new set of thermal pads and fix them on the HS. 2. Remove extra metal from HS in those areas where there is not enough contact for the mem chips. First one is much easier. If the thermal pads happen to be too thick, the HS might not make proper...

    PC Peripherals Choices choices..

    Am planning to move from my 17" CRT. I was thinking of getting a 19" CRT or a 17" LCD. I guess I'll have to pay a few thousand more for the LCD though. Considering I do not game at more than 1280x1024 which one would you suggest? If it is the LCD, which one should I go for? Viewsonic? Thanks...

    Occt?

    Most of you guys use Prime95/SuperPI to check for OC stability. How many of you use this one OCCT? One thing I noticed was, the "test" option in this program fails in just a couple of minutes on a particular oc when the same thing failed after about 4 hrs on Prime. Any info on how it works...

    CPU/Mobo What is the Core

    It would most likely be a Venice. (However try to get the stepping written below the mark you have posted, that will help you identify it more clearly)

    OC and SATA drives

    On my board I have just two SATA ports which I think is controlled by nF3 itself. You might want to shift your drives to the two SATA ports near the CPU. That's what I've been using and so far no problems. Sorry I take back what I said - refer this article...
