I decided it was time save people alot of frustration by listing all the commonly used tools/drivers/utilities etc. in one place

Newer PC users will find downloads they might never never have thought about, and it's a time saver for veteran's when they do a fresh install/build

Thank you so much!

I am still a newbie to computers and had no clue on how to get utilities such as these. I was gonna start a thread asking for some links, but you just saved me some time!

Thanks again!

Nice post Necro! If you want, I'll send you some links to some of my favorite modded BIOSes. I dont have an extensive collection or anything, but they are field-tested...

Oh, and you should add Epox to that list. They have alot of tweaked BIOSes for the overclockers.

Good thread, I second the modded gfx drivers list, nearly all can be found at 3d guru!

What about best skinning tools and skin sites?

Thanks for the input guys, I will add the DFI bios list and a few more later tonight.

I don't think adding "Skinning" links would be a good fit, these links are aimed at OC'ing, I originally started it so people didn't have to spend hours on google everytime they reinstall the OS

I am really shocked to see you didn't include PC PIT STOP http://www.pcpitstop.com/ to make sure hte system is clean and ready to go prior to ocing....

Maybe it isn't needed...but its a damn fine tool for checking the system out....
I learned it from you!

Ha..I was too, until I looked a bit closer today, it's under the "Benchmarking" section

It was the first "Benchmarking" program I had ever used way back in my K6-2 days, and still do to this day
But now I use it more as a diagnostic tool..it has found many issues that have slipped by other tests!
