I have a patriot rage xt, 16GB drive that works flawlessly as an installer for Windows. Using the same tools and process for making the patriot bootable results no functionality for two Sony sticks that I have. I've done low level formats, used a Lexar tool for bit flipping (supposed to make the...

On a mac, you can quickly select text in the following way: Click somewhere in the middle of a sentence to place the cursor, and then drag the mouse up or down to select all text before or after where you initially placed the cursor. I know this is somewhat replicated in windows by placing...

Just wanted to give everyone my experience in case someone wants to try. On the one hand, load temps did not drop, I reached 79 degrees as before which was disappointing. However, I realized that my fan was quieter than before. Sure enough, the fan was going to around 55% as opposed to 70%...

I would like to set up remote surveillance for an overseas location but I'm having trouble identifying what kind of equipment I'll need, reason being that the area will be bandwidth starved / expensive so I need something that consumes little bandwidth. Is it the software that will determine...

I remember in the early conroe days that the Abit IP35 Pro had excellent fan control, where you could change speeds on the fan headers independently. Which modern motherboards offer this type of fan control?

I'm around three hours in, the sub that supposedly had Atlus' family in it blew up and now I'm sure he'll just have me run around chasing him for most of the game. It's not compelling at all. I'm listening to all the Diary's in the hope that some storyline will present itself and make me want to...

I know there are a lot of people still running Wolfdale, I took a break from gaming for a little over a year and as such have an E8400 running at stock and a basic video card, both passive, for a completely silent system. I'm wondering what others' experiences are on this platform with faster...

My laptop has a 1080p 13.3 inch screen and the DPI scaling is set to 125% to make it usable. If I connect my 1920 x 1200 24 inch monitor to it, however, the DPI remains at 125% so everything looks a bit too large. Is there a program or something that will seamlessly make Windows force the...

The POST time I'm talking about actually occurs before display initialization. Bone stock, pressing the power button first initializes the display, after which the first screen is shown (RAM checksum and IDE initialization and then USB initialization). After overclocking the RAM, by bumping...

Edit: All found locally I am Paypal verified and my ebay page is here I was looking for a Q9550 and I was willing to pay $120, net to you after shipping, fees etc. As it turns out, these things seem to command a lot more, lol. So, I am now looking for a system replacement instead for...

Just putting this out there for the record, because I couldn't find any solid info on this. My TX750, like many others though not all, had a relatively noisy fan. Googling I came up with the following reports: 1. The stock yate loon has a very low starting voltage, so replacement fans may not...

Considering fans are typically brushless, is it safe to use a diode? I'll be putting it on the fan in my power supply to slow it down. Thoughts?

I know that a stock clocked 8800GT is fairly slow by today's standards, but mine overclocks to 738/1836/1050, which is the same as a stock clocked 9800GTX+. I know the 9800GTX+ or GTS 250 trades blows with the 4850, and that it also has more texture units and shaders than the 8800GT, but how...

Take note of the driver versions tested across the cards. Find the preview here Update: I thought the hardwarezone preview was exclusive but I guess not. Here are the others all put together:

I was just wondering about this because I don't understand all the technical coverage that some sites provide. It seems like the new cards from both ATI and Nvidia are more of last gen, twice the shader processors etc. and some optimizations here and there, but is it really 1-2 years worth of...

I can't be the only one that has noticed this. Trees falling, or debris/shack walls that get blown up by a rocket happen a bit more slowly than they would in real life. The engine isn't even utilizing the whole core for physics either. I have run task manager in the background and during normal...

I have an XFX 8800GT and I can't seem to underclock it worth a damn in 2d mode. I had a x800xt which I could previously underclock from 500/500 to 250/350 which kept it even cooler at idle but the GT crashes if I try to lower the clocks. Is this normal?

I haven't read any worthwhile information on the cooler mounting pattern for this card, anyone know? I wonder if an Accelero S1 base is large enough to cover the beast's die!

I feel that my E6300 just runs hot, its overclock is stable but I have tried two heatsinks, a scythe ninja and an OCZ vendetta and both can only keep the processor at 41-42 idle with my relatively modest overclock of 3010 MHz with 1.23 vcore. Every review out there manages sub 20s to mid 30s...

I want to replicate what the folding@home client music player on the PS3 does, on my PC. In the ps3 app, I can choose to select calm, upbeat, or dramatic songs amongst other types to create a playlist while the PS3 folds. The thing is, this software is so incredible that it picks out songs from...

For example, on the main page of the forums, all thread updates are from yesterday, this also occurs in the subforums. It's only if I click on the thread that I see the new posts. I've tried IE and Firefox, cleared all history/cache/temp files and used crapcleaner to no avail.

A simple cutout behind the motherboard socket area so that backplate installation etc. is less of a pain in the ass? Antec, I'm watching you!

I recently downloaded Helter Pinto's crysis config files which make crysis look like it should: http://www.helderpinto.com/blog/?cat=13 trust me, it looks fantastic. Performance was okay for the most part, but I just knew that my 8800GT wouldn't cut it on the later levels and I was getting some...

For instance, you have your cpu overclocked to 3ghz on air and temps are 40/60 idle/load with 1.23v. Lets say you now watercool the chip, will this have any effect on vcore? Or is there a specific vcore for a specific overclock, regardless of temperature?

I remember that there was talk about the 8800GTs memory controller having a limitation that would only let it run reliably up to and not including 2000MHz. This was supported by Jonnyguru, who's a pretty reputable guy but I'm just curious if there has been any further development on this issue...

I just got the game for PC and I'm using my PS3 controller to play it. I'm wondering if someone would be so kind as to tell me what the button map is for the PS3? Thanks a lot!

I've had this Ninja for more than a year now but its cooling hasn't been really required until recently when I finally got a motherboard that I could overclock with. With just 1.216 vcore, a modest overclock of 2.8, and good airflow through my P150 ( Ninja has a fan on it as well, not passive) I...

Problem: Loading new pages or opening a new page in a tab in a browser results in music repeating ever so quickly that it seems like a pop. This problem can be recreated very well when browsing www.wired.com . If you go there, see how the menu pops out under the headings in the black bar, like...

:confused: How does one get fan control on the P5K-E? So far I have come to realize that the CPU_Fan can not be controlled unless the fan is a 4-pin design by nature. Fine, but how do I control the other CHA_Fan#? I downloaded speedfan but it doesn't seem to be able to do anything. Is there...

My CRT has gone to crap with its moire and general fuzziness. I'm sure I'm to blame since I had it right up next to a cabinet that houses our house's circuit breakers etc. In any case, I need to get an LCD now. I've narrowed it down from around 15 LCDs down to about 5, lol. Samsung 2232BW...

naming scheme like they are with the 9xxx series from Nvidia? It, too was half the memory bus, a die shrink, lower power consumption, marginally faster, and comparatively cheaper. All applies to 9xxx as well so what's the deal :confused: Did I miss the memo?

Just upgraded from an x800xt. Everything's swell except for Crysis. So far I have tried 8.3 and 8.2 using safe mode/driver cleaner etc. but I get the same problem. System in sig. It plays, just with major artifacting. Atitool artifact scanning gets nothing, the opengl fur benchmark runs fine...

Anyon else experience boulders blocking the cave you're supposed to pass through at the end of the Recovery level? I met Prophet, said some stuff about the CIA, and then he proceeded to jump on the boulders and jump back down, rinse repeat. I'm guessing I missed a trigger somewhere, I even went...

How is it able to tell what songs are "calm" or electroni sounding or metal etc. I currently only have 3 cds ripped to my ps3 hd, namely Lateralus by Tool, Stadium Arcadium, and A Perfect Circle. Incredibly, the music player in F@H picks out songs from the Tool album that are calm. How does it...

The setup is as follows: Setup: I have an ISP provided Speedstream 6520 modem/wireless/wired router connected to the phone line for internet access. This device provides a WLAN at 54mbps to my laptop and my brother's laptop. My main computer is also connected to this via a wired connection...

I'm not sure if I can link it since AFAIK the NDA is in effect, but it's out there!

I'm wondering if this can be done economically on my e1405/640m in the interests of battery life. I have already done a bunch of tweaks using RMclock like undervolting and forcing 1gHz all the time but I'm curious about the effect of switching to a single core cpu. A quick search of ebay yielded...

Maybe it would be too much information, but it would be a great statistic that tells you how variable the framerate is. A video card may provide a high average fps but if it's highly variable, the gaming experience may suffer a bit. The standard deviation would tell us where most of the fps...

If AMD can make their GPUs on 55nm, why not the processors too?

I've looked, but haven't really found any.
