    nVidia bringing out a PPU?

    Ok, check this out.. It's the press release for the new ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium, and they talk about a 3rd 16x PCI-e slot for nVidia physics card.. Think it's a dedicated PPU with new hardware? Or just a slot to put in an old card, that will do the physics processing the announced alittle while...

    I think the review sites have been wrong w/ memory timings for AMD64's

    Ok, so if anyone has followed the review sites for awhile, it's been standard to say on an AMD rig you wanted 2-2-2-10 for the best performance.. It's been like that since NF2 days, the same with the NF3, and now with the NF4 we see it go to 2-2-2-7.. So, blindly accepting this as the way it...

    question about RAID 1 rebuilding

    Ok, I haven't gotten to the point of needing a rebuild, but I'm curious as to how the process works. I've read through the documentation for nvraid (i have a K8N Neo2), and the rebuild process seems pretty straightforward, but all the examples it gives are about putting in a 3rd drive, and...

    CS Source Problem

    Hey for those of you you have CS Source, have you ever had a problem when the game will just freeze (even when nothing intensive is going on), then after say about 10 seconds or so, it will unfreeze. When it comes back though, it shows all the items you have on the right side of the screen as if...

    Question for those with NF3 rigs w/ RAID and bios updates. MSI preferred.

    So, I've never used the onboard raid feature on a motherboard before until I got my K8N Neo2. I've made the decision to stop using an entire computer for storage, and to devote 2x 80 Gb SATA drives (for now) in a RAID 1 arrary on my Neo2. The RAID 1 array set up fine, and it working great...

    Anyone with the Neo2 Platinum and a NEC 3500 DVD burner?

    Just wondering if anyone has these 2 together, and used the nVidia IDE driver or not.. I know the lite-on drives have been working with the nVidia IDE driver and this board, but haven't heard anything about the NEC drive..

    Just got a Gainward 6800 GT Golden Sample, question for other owners

    I just got this card, and it kicks major ass of course, but I'm wondering what everyone is getting for temps with the fans on full. I've seen mine spike up to 78-79C under load, and it seems kinda toasty.. Plus if I try to do detect optimal settings, it only says I can hit 401/1100.. I'm sure...

    Nerfed FSB on the 90nm 939's?

    So, looking at newegg @ the new 939's they list the specs as such: Model: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Operating Frequency: 2.2GHz FSB: 2000 MHz System Bus Cache: L1/64K+64K; L2/512K Voltage: 1.4V Socket: Socket 939 Packaging: OEM(Processor Only) Now, compare that to the 3500+ Model: AMD...

    anyone running a Gainward 6800GT GS on mobo's with possible IDE clearance issues?

    So I ordered a Gainward 6800 GT GS today, but what I forgot to look at was the fact that my NF7-S has the IDE ports directly inline with the AGP and 1st PCI slots. And they're facing horizontal.. I'm thinking there might be a problem with clearance and my rounded cables.. Does anyone else have a...

    New PCP&C 510-Express

    Looks like PCP&C has modified the 510 deluxe to have a 24 pin power connector, a 6 pin PCIe connector, and 6 sata connectors. However, looking at the specs, this is still the same 510 PSU as in the Deluxe. It does not have 2 +12 volt rails like the latest ATX spec.. so it looks to be like...

    so, are those of us with 20 pin connectors screwed?

    I've had my PCP&C 510 Deluxe for some time now, and it's been a great investment. But, I'm starting to wonder how future proof it is, since there seems to be a push now for 24 pin connectors, and the new pci express connectors.. So, am I stuck with having to get a new PSU when I need these...

    Anyone know how deep the traces are on the PCB around the NB for a A7N8X?

    Ok, so I wanted some more performance out of my A7N8X Deluxe v1.04, so I decided to upgrade the NB cooler to a swiftech 159.. so, in the process of removing the stock HS, I managed to indent part of the PCB around the NB (the PCB on the northbridge itself, just around the heatspreader)...

    It's Official.. PC Power and Cooling kicks much ***...

    Ok, so I got my PC Power and Cooling Turbo Cool 510 Deluxe installed, and man it's worth every damn penny... I can't make the voltages move no matter what... I turned on everything I could, and it just wouldn't budge.. my rig is as follows: Lian-Li PC-65 (w/ 2 80m fan in the window, and 1 top...

    stupid audigy 2 zs question that I should know

    Ok, so I know that if I want to get sound out of all 4 of my speakers from normal audio, I need to use one of the cmss options. now, by having that enabled, does that interfere with games that supports EAX? I'm asking, cuz I noticed in SOF2, that without CMSS enabled, I only get sound out of...
