Hey, didn't know that PB had tech threads! I'm running this for DCC mostly right now:

-Intel i7 960 (still at 3.2GHz, I'm a little afraid to OC it myself), idles at about 30C stock heatsink, 60C 100%
-12GB Triple-Channel DDR3 RAM (6x2GB) from OCZ
-Asus P6X58D Premium Mobo
-125GB Crucial M225 SSD
-2 1TB Hitachi 7.2k SATAII HDDs in RAID 0
-160GB Hitachi 7.2k SATAII HDD
-BD burner/DVD/CD
-DVD/CD burner
-All-in-one internal (5.25") media card reader (via internal USB 9-pin)
-1000W PSU
-Thermaltake Element G chassis

and a nVidia Quadro FX1800 which I'm selling if anyone's interested.

Dont OC with that heatsink. anyway, theres nothing to be afraid of, unless you change the voltage massivly nothing will break.

couple of the things: 1000w psu is a bit overkill, no? and why a Quadro? :p

Wattage dont mean shit. Quality of components, quality of build, ripple supression, and efficiency means the difference between a good psu and a bad one.

Ive "accidentally" moved the CPU_OV jumper on my p6t deluxe and ended up idling at 1.7vcore. idles under liquid were like 70c lol

this, also rails/ampage

you sir, are stupid, we all see that you just want to seem smart and be the center of attention but you should at least read the post you are quoting. he said 1000w was overkill, and for a system that in a generous estimate might draw 500w it is. no one mentioned quality. if you think wattage doesnt mean shit try running a system that draws 1500 watts on a 400w power supply, obviously common sense would say thats stupid but you dont seem to posses a lot of common sense.

Hey so I have a mild problem. When I'm running my comp and have opened up several programs and then closed out of them (AutoCAD, CS5, MSFSX, etc.) my RAM usage stays high. Upon startup it idles at 14% usage (out of 12GB) but then after opening and then closing some programs it will jump to and stay at about 45%. What's up? I noticed that there were a lot of "svchost.exe" processes going on in the RAM but I can't find out where to shut them off (they have something to do with server hosting?). Any tips?

A lot of svchosts can mean you have malware in your computer, I am not the best at dealing with malware, but if you download malwarebytes and run a full scan it finds basically everything.

svchost is just a process that hosts a service for windows, nothing to worry about really but you can always google it and run a scan of some kind as i've worked briefly with viruses before (RATS) and one being disguised as another process name is easily done

Yeah, well I have McAffe and it hasn't detected anything and it's always been pretty crazy with killing stuff that isn't even a virus (at least with the detection heuristic on VERY HIGH). But even if it's not malware then why the hell would my computer be using 5GB of RAM when no programs are running?

go to start, run, msconfig and take a look at startup services and programs then, windows itself takes a few GB to run

Don't worry about it, windows is designed to run like that. They call it "SuperFetch"
bigquotesVista has a prefetching mechanism of its own, called SuperFetch. It's far more aggressive than XP's prefetching. Where XP would arrange files on disk to ensure that they can be read quickly, Vista will go ahead and read files into memory preemptively. For example, if it sees that at 9:00 AM on a Monday morning you log in and start Outlook to check your mail, Vista can preload Outlook; it will read all the programs and libraries that Outlook needs so that they're resident in RAM. This means that when you click Outlook's icon to start it, most of the data the operating system needs is already available in memory, so you no longer have to wait so long for the program to load. The downside to this? Vista shows much higher RAM usage numbers than its predecessor.

(It says vista, but this applies to 7 too)

checked as in...? and it sounds like, sort of digital but sort of a physical mechanical problem. i felt vibrations earlier on briefly in the air vent area of the body, and its sort of an inconsistent but pulsing alarm sound. Its an EeePC 1005P netbook (ASUS)
