Thanks :) As it turns out, the controller card just switches between 8x/8x and 16x/1x mode on the board slots. I have it set at 8x/8x, without the SLI bridge attached, and both cards are working in Windows 7 without a dummy plug on the second card. They're getting 4177.97 ppd each, which...

Hey all, I have a P5ND2-SLI board on my folding PC here at the office. I currently have a 9600gt in it, and will be receiving a second one from an RMA this week. I noticed there's an SLI selector card on the board, where you can choose between dual-card and single-card mode. I want to set...

I would suggest getting some sort of benchmarking tool such as 3dmark or something (though there are better ones), and then monitoring your temperatures as the benchmark runs; both using normal clock speed and overclocked That seems like a pretty big jump for a GPU clock, and even though you...

Hey there, I just recently picked an an Asus F8VA-B1 laptop, with the core 2 duo P8400 @ 2.26 ghz (stock), and an ati mobility 3650 1gb @ 600/1600mhz Now i'm sort of a noob on laptop temps, and i've tried googling this, but I was wondering what are acceptable temperatures for the CPU/GPU...

Post them here! I just picked up my new Asus F8VA-B1 and i'm super happy with it. http://service.futuremark.com/home.action;jsessionid=BF4E2C1AE9C4C6B814887642365CC7D0?resultId=125207&resultType=18 3932 seems pretty strong for a laptop i only paid 1100 (canadian) for, at least i think...

Is there any way to disable this? I change my settings in the actual BIOS but it doesn't update at all in the Dynamic. And if i change it in the dynamic, the real bios sometimes reverts to different settings. It seems like the 2 are conflicting. My system is locking up occasionally and I...

And i tried a memtest.. but it wont even stay stable long enough to complete it, it just locks up

what did you set the voltage/timings at?

Hey guys. I've recently built my new system and have had absolutely nothing but problems with my RAM from the get go. I'm using the 4gb kit of OCZ3P16004GK RAM, on an EVGA 790i Ultra motherboard. The ram is rated for 7-7-7-24 timings at 1600 mhz @ 1.9V, but i have not been able to achieve...

17056 SM 2.0: 8130 SM 3.0: 8002 CPU Score: 3641 Intel E8500 @ 3.96 GHZ 2x EVGA 9600 GT's SLI, non-overclocked I LOVE these cards, they perform so amazingly for the price.

Hey all, I just built my new system, and im running an E8500 on an EVGA 790i ultra board. I got 4 gb of OCZ3P16004GK (OCZ Platinum PC12800 1600mhz DDR3), which is rated for 7-7-7-24 timings. What i've done is overclock the FSB on my cpu, as well as my ram, to both equal 1666 mhz. The...

Hey, I just put my new computer on order, and im just wondering if there is any benefit of matching the FSB on the CPU with the clock speed of the RAM? Im going to be running an Intel Q9450 (stock 2.66 ghz, 1333 FSB), and OCZ PC12800 ddr3 (1600 mhz stock) Though it's not built yet, i'm...

What CPU are you planning on getting? And yes, i suggest 4 if you're planning on running Vista

Hey, i've been looking at building a computer with these parts, and was hoping to find a good power supply for 200$ or less. here it is: EVGA Nforce 790i SLI mobo Intel Q9450 Quad-core 4gb OCZ pc12800 ddr3 ram 2x EVGA 9600GT video cards 2x 500gb seagate barracuda 32 mb cache hdd's in raid...

I recently purchased an ATI Radeon X1950XTX video card. I installed it and all went well, default clock was 650/1000, and i overclocked it just a little bit using ATI tool, to 675/1050 A few days later, for whatever reason, ATItool underclocked my card to 506 on the core, and 594 memory. It...
