    Dissappointing Winchester o/c

    What exactly does HTT do? Also, are the Athlon64s multipliers only able to go up to it's default multipler or below? I have a 3000+ and don't have the option to set a multiplier past 9.

    CPU Fan only SOMETIMES spinning A64 3000+ / MSI K8N Neo2

    As the title says, the fan on my HSF is only spinning about half the time when I boot the computer. I thought at first it was a problem with having Cool n' Quiet enabled but I have since turned that off and it's still going on. Is this normal with a 939 90nm / NForce3 setup or is one of my...

    Msi K8n Platinum Problem

    An update on my problem: So apparently the board is too fast for it's own good. I figured out what was causing the "Detecting IDE Drives..." error. Apparently, it's trying to POST before the hard drives have a chance to start spinning. I took off the quick POST option in BIOS (so it actually...

    Msi K8n Platinum Problem

    Just built a rig with the A64 90nm 3000+, MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, and 1GB OCZ PC3200 Platinum Revision 2 Ram. The system DID post without the 1.3 BIOS (1.37? The latest version on MSI's site is 1.3). However, it kept stalling at "Detecting IDE Drives..." randomly during POST. The system would...

    Why get a soundcard?

    If you're happy with your sound then, no, there is no reason in upgrading. Or as mentioned, if you have a slow cpu and the on-board sound is taking up good chunk of cycles, a seperate card would be useful.

    No Surround Sound in Doom 3 w/ Logitech Z560s?

    I have Logitech Z560 speakers (4.1) and am using the NForce2 on-board audio. Is this not a viable combination to get any sort of 3D sound in Doom 3? Whenver I try to click Surround Sound in the Doom 3 options I get a message saying no surround speakers were found on my system? Do I have to have...

    6800 GT in HL2

    It's just like Doom3 man. It's all speculative until actual benchmarks come out. You'll just have to wait and see :).

    My 6800GT is dead

    That is basically what my screen looked like with my defective BFG 6800GT OC. But I never had it in my computer for more than 10 mins and the entire screen wasn't like that, only where the mouse cursor was over. I'm waiting on my RMA from them myself. They told me today that they had no...

    BFG = Real customer support

    Well after posting in this thread I was inspired to call them to check on the status of my RMA. I don't know what was up but it seems they put their crapstaff on duty tonight. I talked to 3 people who all had no idea what was going on. I know my card was received on Wednesday because I...

    BFG = Real customer support

    Ya they're really great. I bought a BFG 6800GT OC and it was DOA. Well, it worked one time, then I rebooted and my computer wouldn't start with the card :(. They tried to help me out and the guy really knew his stuff. This was all at 4 am too! I also like that they'll recommend stuff like...
