Holly friggin shiat! My GTX has blue vertical lines across the screen and i bought 4850 half gig as a temp replacement until i get something like 260 or 280. I might just do the same man! Why i didn't read your post 2 days ago. Thanks dude ! Now i'll try same method and see if it works i've got...
I would never consider buying an AMD chip right now. First thing they are one gen behind intel. Second thing I am enthiusiast and I like everything what's fastest. AMD might be a good solution for your company, but not for single PC user as me. There is nothing wrong in paying a bit extra for...
That's extremely good when cpu is OC'ed. My current e6600 (oldie), is running at 3.33Ghz under load, when idling only stock 2.4 Ghz. I wonder if there is any software which could take it even slower. Any suggestions?
I was thinking about air, there are couple of excellent coolers like TRUE or Megahalem, but h2o has better cooling performance, i want to reach 4.5 ~ 4.4 just for the sake of it. The Q9650 you mentioned is a strong & fairly cheap PCU I'm considering to go exactly that way.
As for 6Ghz+...
I will be upgrading my old 6600 c2d to 8600 c2d or middle range quad. That baby will get plenty of water to keep her cool. Watercooling is the answer :).
I should hit 4ghz+ with good 4GB 1066 no problem on water, at least that's what i think:) My only concern is if i decide to go more than...
I know what you mean with dual gpu 4850x2, sticking with p45 and not paying extra money for full speed crossfire on x48 . The thing is my friend is upgrading his PC from 2x 4850 (1Gb+1Gb) and wants to sell them to me for less than £100. Bargain i say:)
I don't know what is the improvement...
I am building i7 right now, and also upgrading my old PC. That will be the second PC for mini-lan parties in my home & for kind of semi-extreme OC. I want good & cheap OC'able board and reliable memories. As for PCU i would like to hit 4Ghz + mark for 24/7 use.
As for MB, i would like P45 or...
Howdy!
Is it worth to spend a bit more moneys on that one, instead of modest ddr2 800~1066?
My old PC is going to be a second one for mini-Lan party to train 1v1 (RTS,FPS) , and my desire is to make OC monster which will be pretty much on pair with new i7 920 build ( i want it to run modest...
Alright i am completly novice at it but i don't think you can run 12GB using all slots on full speed & factory timings. I do think that those settings are only valid if you run 3x sticks. This is why your system is slowing them down. The best bet is to wait until someone with more knowledge...
Alright, that is different question, why don't you check [H] review on GTX285. They are pretty OC'able. If your PSU likes SLI then go for it.
Regarding to step-up process, i have no experience with it so i dunno what kind of horrow you can expect. In the end of the day it's there for a...
Can you afford $15? If yes go for it GTX285 is better than GTX280. Anyway what kind of question is that? It's no brainer mate.
I would check for mould before put them on...
I only buy when product receive more than ten 5/5 reviews on website i'm buying from. It was a bit different with my UD5 because [H] gave it a good score. I didn't try this board yet, unfortanately i can afford only one expensive part a month, i mean i have to get trough very tight month in...
Why do you come up with slavery issues? It's completely not related to this thread...Did someone try to enslave you...you are just being a dick i suppose...without good manners.
"developing any kind of software is time consuming
develop, test, fix test and release within 1 month is not an easy task :P
so that basically means, each driver update is really a patch for the last update!"
I agree with you on this, completely...but shouldn't they slow down a bit...
Stop right now! You don't have 64 bit operating system! If you buy 6GB of ram then you would be able to see 4GB total(or less correct me if i'm wrong)...then graphic cards sharing memory pool with ram as well..so when you add for example gtx280 you get even less RAM memory..upgrade to Vista 64...
Please tell me he didn't do that...How can you do such a thing..it's like horror movie, i just got the picture of him wrestling with the wrong socket..clueless but determined to accomplish something which is impossible...i would beat the crap out of that guy who didn't mention that he needs...
I completely agree with other people, there is no need to upgrade if you have so powerful pc, you wont get any bang for the buck because replacements you are talking about wont give you that much performance to even consider spending that much money.
Get yourself nice cooling system, nice...
You have to stick to the light side young padawan, even if it's not as wide as you want...there will be more dark spots...and you will end up with darkness in front of your eyes
I found this very interesting, so tighter memory timings don't affect gaming as much. That means i can go cheaper with DDR3 sticks....one more question....how much difference is between ddr3 1333 and for example ddr3 2000...game wise of course. Should i go with slower DDR3's if all i want to do...
In the end of the day it's all about how they treat you, CS should build confidence & trust between them and customers. So when you call them and some grumpy asshole answer the phone just ask him to put you through to another person. Don't forget that those guys are recorded and you can always...
