Have they been selling at this price for a while? I came across it on Amazon 2 days ago and decided to pull...
So is ASRock the only company doing this? I noticed it on the Z68 boards I was checking out and it has saved me much pain on my Abit IP35 Pro board. This will be my first non-abit board in a while. Last I had was an Asus A7N8X Deluxe.
Just getting back into the research and it looks like...
I converted my old gaming PC with a 1900XT to a media server, plus some light gaming on the TV. The fan needs replaced, it is loud as hell now. I just disconnected it and the HIS heatsink is doing a decent enough job that as long I don't game I probably will be OK. Idling around 55-60c...
This was hot for me since I have a Microcenter locally. With tax it came to just over $120. I know I looked at the black version of this case seriously when I purchased my P180, but I could not pass this up at this price.
They are for some reason closing out the Silver version because the...
and I need to buy a new one. I was hoping to get advice from tech savy gamers as to a new set to get.
I am leaning toward a Samsung 1080p DLP, but I am not finding them as widely available as expected, so I am wondering if something new is coming that I need to wait for?
All...
Currently I have an X1900XT clocked at XTX speeds. Overall I am happy with it, I think it is a great card, but I was thinking about going Crossfire because I would like to be able to play Company of Heroes, Medievil 2 and Oblivion at very high settings at my monitors native 1680x1050...
An actual 1950 since its memory clocks are not 2K. I thought what made the refresh was the new Cooler and Memory and Sapphire just appears to have the Cooler.
I have been scoping out a Crossfire card and it is on my list, just not willing to pay over $400 for something that is really not a...
And what app do you use?
I have been running torture test in Prime95, one instance on each core for about 20 hours now. Seems like a good way to burn in a new system while checking for hardware errors at the same time.
Do you try to burn in a Video Card too though looping 3D Mark or...
My CPU temps seem to get the highest in Prime95 than any other benching or burnin utility, but I was wondering about games like Oblivion. Would you see those kinda temps there?
I am just wondering because I read about people upping the vcore on X2's to 1.5 and above and my temps get pretty...
I am trying to isolate what is causing my cooler fan to ramp up and down siginificantly when booting to windows.
It started happening after ATI Tool locked up once after I installed the new 6.8 drivers and still seems to happen. Once I get to windows it seems to settle, but it worries me a...
I read in the ATI overclocking guide that the Xpress 3200 chipset should allow the PCIe bus to run at 130, default is 100. But I don't see this in other guides or people talking about raising this.
Do you guys raise setting from the default?
What do you think of these temps...
I am running on Air Cooling with the following temps under Prime 95 Torture test.
Specs...
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Manchester
Abit AT8 32X
2x Corsair CMX1024-3200 (3-3-3-8)
HIS IceQ3 X1900XT 512mb PCI-E x16
2x Seagate 320 - SATA
Samsung 300 gb - IDE...
Just got a new Viewsonic LCD and vertical text like i's and l's seem to be bleeding red. Kind of like when my rear projection TV's scan lines get off. I mean it is barely noticable, but it noticable to me. I doubt my wife notices it though.
Is this normal? Is there a fix? Do I need to...
I have a tube of Artic Silver 3 still from my last build a few years ago.
Is Artic Silver 5 or Ceramic a lot better, or am I fine just using 3? I am not a "serious" overclocker, but I expect to do some.
Even though my Asus A7N8X has Sata and Raid, I have never bothered. Now I am building a new PC and have bought 2 identicle SATA drives (320gb) and I am also planning to use my existing ATA100's 300gb and 200gb drives in the new system.
It has been recommended that I put XP on a SATA drive...
