I agree with freedom of internet etc, freedom of speech etc. But to ask internet warriors to come out of their basements to protest in sunlight ...... Besides, if those folks really come out, you think some face recognition software wont be used. Unless they wear their Wookie...
Not trying to oc the memory, just looking to oc the 2600k (unlocked cpu). Maybe things have changed, but wanted to know if i could oc with that amount of ram (years ago, lower oc's occurred with higher amounts of ram).
I know, back then you oc'd by raising FSB etc.
Was looking at getting an ssd for windows and a couple games and read about some bad SSDs out now using the sandy bridge. Was looking at the corsair 3 drives, that have been recalled.
I already own the MB (Asus P8Z68-V PRO) and a 2600k processor.
Want around 120gig drive (SSD) and will...
Its been awhile since i have posted, but i am building a new rig.
I have the asus p8z68 pro board and a 2600k, and am looking to order my ram in a couple days - and want to run 16 gigs of ram. Anyone having issues with that? what ram would you recommend? Can you still oc with 16 gigs...
I have OCZ on one PC - It has run for over two years very strong. I have 2 x 2 gig kit of mushkin on my gamer PC - the stuff is excellent - got it when it was over $300 - you can get it now for about 140 on the egg and both are seem to be great stuff.
I just recieved my 2 x 2 gig of gskill -...
I have a question that could help make the decision, and I haven't run across an answer. Will the card be used for media - HD content? Does the GTS have the same benefits that the newer 8600 series has for encoding content? If I was to use the card for more than games - then I would consider...
For what it is worth - when you go to nvidia's website - which card is the 'top of the line' ?
So you can get a top of the line card for the price of a nice midrange card.
I'd take the GTX. One thing to consider when buying PC parts is some will OC, some won't.
I'll get the next top...
Over the last couple days I tried to install ' command and conquer - the first decade' and Battle for Middle Earth II and the expansion pack and could not get past the splash screen. I first tried this in Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
I looked for updated drivers - started with nvidia.
Ran the games...
I currently own both sets sitting in the same room (the z5300 actually use an audigy 2 and the z5500 use onboard sound), and the z5500 speakers are definately better in every aspect than the z5300 speakers.
I listen to them both, but when I want to hear something and crank it, I shut down...
the version att is selling is a dumbed down part made by htc. The original version has 2 camera's (one on the front and one on the back) and has the ability to use 32gb of storage.
They dumbed the product down so as not to outshine the iphone.
One of my buddies bought the original (8925...
I am running the following ram and it seems to work quite well.
mushkin 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model 996564 - Retail
I have my quad (B3) running at 3.2 on air.
I still haven't adjusted the ratio's though - running 1:1...
I was having the same issues, a couple days ago. I switched my ram to 1:1 and doing that allowed my to update my bios for my mb.
After I updated bios and verified everything connected properly - everything became a breeze.
Good luck
no worries,
my b3 is running at 3.2 right now (had some initial issues getting the raid 0, and seeing all 4 gigs of ram etc) so I am quite happy right now.
I don't return items for reasons like this, I have returned one item in the last 5 years and it was a DOA raptor drive.
I was...
I posted this not to bitch - but to inform - for those considering ordering and wanting a GO. Re read my first post - it says I am keeping it and will oc anyway.
Maybe I should have titled it 'newegg still shipping B3 q6600's' oh wait, I did.
I wanted a GO - but got a @#$$$ B3, now I am...
As the title states - I recieved a $%&^* B3 yesterday instead of a GO from newegg yesterday.
Be aware - I am keeping it and will oc anyway. I just got a tuniq 120 and if anyone has one and a coolermaster 830 case, the tuniq is too large to use along with the 4 side case fans.
Just...
Look at some of the reviews for the psu before you buy it. I had one, it was stable and it ran my rig quite well. BUT, there are is a flaw that someone else can explain better than I can or run a search.
I replaced that psu with a pcp 750 quad. People seem to be really high on the corsair...
I would like an answer to one thing. Does this card match the old soundstorm off the old nf7-s board that was my first computer build?
I have z-5500 and see that it has S/PDIF with a toggle or whatever. I want to know, if I buy this card, will I be able to install drivers and use the digital...
I think the only reason this questions was asked was because the newegg combo deal offered. A q6600 for 279 and this rosewill for 100 bucks off. I think I will take the plunge and see if this PSU is worth a crap (along with the q6600).
I already have a pcp 750 quad running my PC and have...
I read somwhere the aforementioned drivers should only be used if you use the hotfix from microsoft and if you revert back to earlier drivers you should remove the hotfix.
I don't know how accurate this is though.
I have been using rivaturner 2.02 in order to max out my fan speed on my 8800gtx oc with my vista 64 bit. Then recently the rivaturner quit working - and refused to load due to 'unsigned drivers', so I game anyway and now I BSOD in vista 64 bit because the fan won't turn on to max speed when...
I know this is probably not your current problem, but I wanted to through this out there, I have a G7 cordless and sometimes my netgear (also running at 2.4 frequency) will actually cause my mouse to stop working when I was playing both bf2 and bf2142 - I moved my netgear further away (closet...
I currently go over 2 gigs - when I play bf2142 at 1600 x 1200 at 2aa and use Vista Ultimate 64- bit.
I bought the mushkin in sig and it smoothed out my gameplay just like going to 2 gigs from 1 gig in bf2 using windows xp.
I have a g-15 keyboad and it can monitor usage of ram.
I have that mushkin, it does well. They have higher line model at 8500 speed with low timings if you want to spend more. I did not feel the need to though.
When I run vista Ultimate 64 and bf2142 at 1600x1200 I go over 2 gigs of usage. That is a current game at a setting many people currently play at. Future games will only use more ram. Going to 4 gigs improved my gameplay in vista much like going from 1 gig to 2 gigs does in windows xp...
I have an e6600 that I can run at 3.2 in windows xp and the multiplier stays at 9. When I go into vista ultimate - the multiplier keeps going to 6 and back to 9.
Any help would be appreciated.
I got my memory today - I am running them @ 1:1 at 356 fsb so my oc is processer is now at a comfortable 3.2. I haven't pushed further - I played bf2142 for a couple hours and it was stable.
This stuff runs better than my ocz platinum that it replaces.
I read a thread on the mushkin forum indicating they are testing other IC's but the HP2 and the the XP2 models all currently use the same IC.
The lower priced models use another IC.
Either way - that is what I ordered and I hope they don't suck.
I ordered the following ram listed below ( get it Monday). At first I'll be using it on my current board (see sig).
What attracted me to the Mushkin ram was that it has good reviews and it uses the same IC's as the higher priced Mushkin ram listed earlier in the thread...
I ended up ordering the kit with 5-4-4-12 settings. I read that it uses the same IC as the other more costly Mushkin kits - I read on the mushkin forums. I'll recieve the ram on Monday.
I will get mine set from newegg on Monday. How would someone know if they were 'swimming' and where did you hear about this?
Also as an fyi - this model uses the same ic's as the other two more expensive models - they just binned differently per one of their folks on the mushkin forum.
I have installed windows vista unltimate 64 bit and after a few days of searching for drivers etc I finally have a solid set up. I play bf2142 and when playing I am using my full 2 gigs of ram, for all of you saying why? That is why. This game that is been out for how many months - 660 plus...
when running bf2142 on vista I am running very near 2 gigs - see sig for details.
I am looking for ram that has some ability to oc. I have read 2 x 2gig kits have a better chance of not having issues - so now I am researching these kits.
I am getting a quadcore intel soon, and I have...
I did not run a search on the forum, I found what appears to be your site with google.
I have never used mushkin before so I am a tad leary, I also noticed your processor is an amd, but onboard memory controller vs bridge will probably have different results. (yes a good review).
Since I...
