My google-fu is not working this morning... Can someone list the Reference voltages below for a C0 920. I'm BSODing @ 3.6 with everything on auto and ram underclocked to 1080 (1333 sticks.) The only voltage this board gives me is 1.224-1.232 on CPU Vcore... Cpu Voltage Cpu PLL Voltage...

Recently updated my Catalyst Suite from 10.8 to to 11.6... and what was once a nice system decided to do some head spinning Linda Blair shit one me. Mind you, I've been seeing temps in excess of 80c so I recently cleaned out my rig to get temps back down, and make the house much less of a sauna...

So I'm in the middle of finishing a build for a friend of mine, and thought I'd provide a few pics of what we're working with. The rest of the system will be posted in general hardware after we're done pushing the system and getting benches done. Before you "herp derp "the GTX 590, yes, he...

I currently have a I3 530 running @ 3.76 (170x22) and it just BSOD'd on me sitting @ the desktop. I can't for the life of me figure out why I can get anywhere close to 4ghz these things are capable of Using ASUS P7H55-M Motherboard BCLK - 170 DRAM freq - 1360 (can go up or down, it's DDR 1333...

For both Intel and AMD... What are the max # of sockets that can fit on a single motherboard. I honestly don't know WHY, but I had a customer ask me this... and aside from TYAN, I don't think anything bigger than 4 for Intel and AMD is available. So I pointed him in that direction. I...

I'm just wondering if there are any out there that aren't and arm and a leg. Have some old hardware (a Pentium M and Centrino Duo laptops) that I feel like having fun with, but without spending a ton. Looking to find some other places that might sell something bigger than 16GB for less than...

So... after spending about a year on the intel stock cooler (served me well @ 3300/3465 Mhz) I got a Cogage True Spirit. I downclocked it to 20x150 and went about replacing the cooler. After booting up fine, I check the temp in the bios after 5 minutes. It seemed lower than with the intel...

So I sold my Geforce 9600 GST 384MB card, (96 shader core,) for $60 to a guy who had smoked his 8400 (It's a BFG card but he removed the heatsink like a dumb a** so I don't think they'll RMA it,) and I was thinking I would have to save for 4890. ... and found this Sapphire 4850 on Craigslist 2...

Long story, GF mobo died in a freek accident involving a Lanbox, a cat, and a misplaced beer. Friend a mobo and an X2 CPU. Unfortunatly the she stuck with a 3500+ single core. Which, while faster than the P4HT 3.0ghz, is only one core. So gents, money is tight and until I can clear funds for...

Hi [H], so I'm building a new gaming machine since I sold my rig (see sig,) and I have a working budget of 1500, so I'm looking to save as much money as possible (mail in rebates, combo specials, etc.) This a ground up build and I'm replacing everything, and want feedback... 1) What...

What the topic states... with 4830's @ $80 bucks (check [H]ot deals section) was thinking this would be a good way to go with my current system. (see sig) I think it would run faster than a single 4870 1GB card (1280 SP vs 800 SP) even given the lower memory and XF penalty. Pros/Cons...

Our cat killed my GF's computer... and since Newegg isn't stocking her motherboard (ABIT quit the mobo scene) decided to move her to Intel. I have everything necessary to put together her machine except the motherboard... and since her motherboard is blue themed (had an AN-M2 in there) I don't...

Yes I googled for the information before I came here, but I'm hoping someone else as heard whether Sunbeam will be making an adapter for intels new socket or not. Would seem like a shame if I was only able to use this thing for 1 application. Thanks in advance.

Tried reseating her cpu cooler, yanked out the aluminum OEM cooler and put a copper core Cooler Master HS/fan combo on it. Can't keep the temps down... Also the 4850 she now has is Blisteringly hot, any one found a way to cool these cards yet? Thanks for the help.

Quad core for half the price of Q6600. 1.8ghz but B2 Stepping. Have seen overclocks to 2.4 Ghz scoring about %10 slower @ that speed compared to Q6600. 3 things that stand out. A) It's a B2 stepping core which means TLB error (Which you won't run into) B) Q6600's can hit 3.0-3.6 Ghz for...

So I decided to give this a try... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=B6E99D4C-A40E-4FD2-A0F7-32212B520F50&displaylang=en http://win2k8.msfn.org/ and the only issue I'm running into is i have 915g onboard graphics and there's no driver for it. All in all tho its...

Well, I need some advice, and since I may be jumping ship to Intel Camp tomorrow, I could use a lot of it. A buddy of mine is buying my Rig (Deacon in sig) along with my Girlfriend's Video card (Gir) to jump into an SLI rig cheaply and quickly. I've never ran an Intel CPU. Honestly. Maybe...

Buddy of mine is interested in upgrading the 7800go in his Dell 1705 and wondered if there's anything more powerful for it. Crysis is running dog slow and that's the reason for the inquiry. Any links our information would be greatly helpful!!! :)

I'm putting together a couple machines for kinds and found a great deal on a couple 9600 AIW's. I picked them up and after the purchase, noticed they had an Odd connector on the bracket. It's not DVI or AGP and they're just bare cards. Could someone help me find a pair of replacement cables...

I have a Panasonic Toughbook CF-50... Pentium 4M 2.0 ghz, 512 Ram, Ati Radeon 7500 Mobility and I can't get the dang DVD to play without skipping. I was wondering if anyone would have some ideas as to why this is happening? I know it should playback fine... but task manager pegs 100% when I...

Well, that seals the deal on this Motherboard. :eek: And after I finally got happy with the damn thing, MSI decides to NOT put out a bios that supports Phenom CPU's even after other 570 Chipsets do. :confused: I just don't get it... what should I do.... :mad: Suggestions and Advice would be...

Trying to get my GF's CPU to a decent speed. Right now it's @ 240x11 for 2.640ghz @ 1.40v. What's the safest voltage i can push this CPU (I believe stock is 1.35v) to get the cpu stable @ 250x11 for 2.750Ghz. Honestly, 240FSB is stable, and 250 is almost there... only locking up after about...

Now I'm no where near working this thing into a mod. I'm just looking for ideas for something crazy. What would you do? before the tear down Left Side Right Side Rear shot Drives... lotsa drives ...and after gutting And one for the [H]orde

Just loooking for advice.... Gir (in my sig) is my Girlfriend's computer and I'm looking for some input for which route to take. I know INTEL is kicking butt right now but I have parts to throw an AM2 based machine together (only lacking the motherboard.) So should I go with the original plan...

I'm not sure how many people remember me, but I'm folding again for team 33. Not that I folded for any other team mind you. I just had to stop due to IRL circumstances. So far I've gotten 8 WU's done this week with more machines coming online as I have time to get them running. Here's my...

I just want to share my recent experience with XFX . I purchased a 7900GT from Newegg around april of last year. This card had already been RMA'd once and replaced, and the new card started experiencing the same artifacting as the first card did. I pulled it out of my rig around Mid March and...

With uncle sam giving us a hefty sum back from taxes, I'm looking to build a new system for my GF. I know, I know, seems like I have all this information at my fingertips here at the [H], but I'm still lost as to what should go in my GF's new rig... her machine is GIR in my signature. I'm...

I was reading about the Samsung Hybrid HDD and how they're attaching a 1GB Flash Drive to it, thinking to my self about todays drives with 2, 8, or 16 MB Cache for data and all... and thought "Why couldn't they just attach a Sodimm slot to the drive, and integrate the controller into the PCB of...

I have two 2.5 inch hard drives I'm attempting to swap platters on. Yes, I've already voided the warranties and took them apart. :) But the problem I'm having is how to stop the platter from turning when taking it off the spindle. Around the screw are 4 holes that I can use as a stop, I don't...

Was unable to get one for my wife on Black Friday and was hoping someone on the forums would be willing to sell one at a reasonable price on the forums. Hopefully under $275 shipped. Ebay Feedback I have a heatware account, but haven't traded/sold anything through any forums yet...

Got a laptop that had been dropped off a forklift and landed on it's airbus card, destroying the PCMCIA slots... and the motherboard unfortunately. Only things salvageable were the CPU - Intel Pentium-M SL6F8, the WLAN adaptor, drives and battery. The WLAN, drives and battery I'm going to use...

Been woking with this MSI K9N Ultra SLI since I got it... and while I was getting decent CPU overclocks, the memory has always been WAY underclocked and I could never figure out why till tonight. Found these three settings enabled in the bios... CPU/LDT Spread Sprectrun PCIE Spread...

Got a Panasonic CF-48 (P4M 1.8, Radeon 7500 Mobile, ddr-2100) and was wondering if this thing is overclockable? Been searching for ways to wring more power out if it. I've tried looking for tweaks and searched the forums to no avail... thanks in advance

Anyone have or know where I can find the patch that allows desktop Catalyst drivers on Radeon Mobility chips? I have an Mobility M6 that I'd like to get running better. I did it on another laptop and much to my suprise, allowed me to run WoW, GTA:SA, and Gal. Civ. 2 thanks in advance
