update....Just found out that by disabling speedstep and turbo in bios then the speed is report correctly in Vista....

the new GTX 285 is using only 2x6 pins power connector, watts usage has go down a lot....less heat... it should be silent.... I want one :)

Go I7 all the way dude !!! Right now I run my rig with a 525watts Enermax Modu82+ and the fan speed is only 580rpm and totally silent....I had the same fan speed for my previous Core 2 rig so I assume it's not asking too much to my PSU.

You should overclock to 3.2ghz @ 1.24 volts with turbo it will be @ 3.36.... Your temp will go down dramatically. It's useless to go to 3.8ghz... Performance difference is marginal in real life but temp difference is huge.

heheheheh that's a good one !

no overclock is done in BIOS

How do you correct this or it's a Vista bug ? Core I7 920 @ 3.2ghz but only display 2.67ghz ? Is my QPI LINK speed too fast or it's safe ?

Windows Vista drags Core i7 down http://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/processors/how-windows-vista-drags-core-i7-down-480468 Also some games sites simply disable hyperthreading before benchmarking ? So should it be disable :confused: thanks for any input.

Absolutely no difference in benchmark vs old Patriot kit.... so buying this faster kit and pay more for no improvement at all....what a scam ! Well see the result here... (the 4 should read a 9 ) btw these are my benchmarks.

triple channel kit often show only 4gb instead of 6gb. I could said the problem happen especially when I do a reset or go in the bios and exit, then it will reboot and the MB will detect only 4gb instead of 6gb. If you go in the bios or boot to Vista x64, it will show only 4gb. I...

thanks ..I will do it today...Fresh Install !

hi.... I just installed my new setup last friday, I didn't do a fresh install but only install the chipset drivers. Well my PCI X-Fi soundcard didn't work anymore so I remove it and use the one onboard for now... but after a few days AVG is now giving me an error message at boot...

Anaconda what is the name of the file of your wallpaper.....Cannot find it.... thanks Also does Vista report the correct overclock speed in computer properties ?

Golden Axe Beast for the PS3... worst game of the year... I didn't wait for the review...my mistake.

Great deal, special ending tonight http://www.esng.ca/productDetail.php?pid=719300034319&isid=8062

So why can I run furbench with the original heatsink for hours and not with accelero ?? Come on are you afraid to run that bench ?

It was fit properly, GPU temp went down by >30c on idle and load. If you're in Montreal mine is for sale + turbo kit. Anyway once you will have it can you run the furbenchmark, you'll see if the accelero is doing his job...

I got the Accelero S1 and remove it because my 4870 crash. So once you installed it, please run the furbenchamrk and you'll see if the Accelero is doing a good job or not. http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/715/Open_GL_FurRenderingBenchmark.html

and then a red led turn on at the back of the card... had to replace the original heatsink. Run furnark for 2 hours with no problem and load temp @ 89 Weird because the GPU temp was only 55-59 at load with Accelero,something else on the card must overheat.

I installed the Accelero S1 on my HD 4870, it fit but it didn't work.. Something is overheating and the card crash, I tried 2 times, with the turbo kit fan and one 120mmm. I had to reinstall the original heatsink. The ram heatsink are ok and you don't need other tape or glue but you won't...

It lower the GPU temp yes, at least 30c down but something else is overheating on the card and it will display graphic corruption and do a VPU recover and then a red led will turn on on the back of the card. Once the RED led is on, then it's impossible to run any 3d apps, games or bench. I...

I'm asking because I got some problem when running furbenchmark http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/715/Open_GL_FurRenderingBenchmark.html Got a crash with VPU recover then a red led turn on on the back of my 4870. With the red led turn on, cannot run any 3d application, it crash. So I...

Yeah it fit on the 4870, I just installed one, but you must move one of the bottom ram heatsink because it's too tall and interfere with the copper pipe. Had to remove it, the card would crash under load.

I ordrede one... Right now I have Vista x64 installed on a Raptor...Can I simply copy the files to the new HD ? or must I reinstalled Vista ? thanks

I installed the G.skill, set the timing in the bios, speed@1066mhz 5-5-5-15 and subtiming the same as my previous memory well the result in everest are exactly the same.... latency was slower with the G.skill :confused: Well it seem G.skill memory is slower, 1066mhz bring absolutely no...

now SLI with the 2x9800GTX is the way to go... Strange they don't talk about noise in TRI SLI....Would be interesting to know, the noisiet card alone, what is the result with 3 ? Earplug please. But strange they never ask themself why nvidia cannot release a single GPU card that would give...

of course they didn't asked to remove the tweaktown review...All the they do is kiss nvidia A$$...... Their review suck..... No comparaison with the 8800GTX or Ultra but only with the inferior 8800Gt but in the conclusion they compare to the 8800GTS !! Also they seem to think that QUAD SLI is...

I tried to find the answer.... no succes. I want to know if 2 different brands, let say G.Skill and Corsair Dominator, with the same timing 5-5-5-15, should I get the same results in benchmarks like everest or Sandra ? I'm asking because I want to buy the G.Skill but I was wondering if they...

like it was on the 680i ? Is it whinning, squaling or whatever ? Or it's dead silent at 50%.... thanks

is it whinning, squealing or whatever or it's dead silent at 50% ? thanks

3007 font will be too small....... ... the 27 inches has the best font size.. Look here for a comparaison: http://www.behardware.com/articles/661-1/the-new-30-inch-monitors-dell-and-samsung.html 30 inches has the smallest font of all monitors...

2707 all have a noisy PSU, I tried 3 of them. Also screen will go blank from time to time, all 3 of them had the same problem plus my friend also have the same problem. With DVI, picture is better with the samsung, component I don't know because I don't use it. Oh yeah I forgot, all of them...

I'm waiting for my third 2707 now, first one had one dead and one stuck pixel, the second emit a really annoying noise from the psu and also emit crack and pop when cooling down..... I don't want to go back to smaller, 27" is the way to go but if the Dell is defective again I will get a refund...

I'm very unlucky, the second unit was pixel perfect, but emit a very annoying noise from the power supply. Also the monitor was doing cracking and popping sound when heating up and cooling down... Anyway a third one is en route.... Well I got my third 2707 and the PSU still emit this...

red pixel, in the middle of the screen, so one dead pixel that appear the second day, one stuck red pixel after 3 days, what's next ? I got this monitor janurary 3rd ???

maybe you should stop putting them in your a$$

I got my 2707 yesterday, I like it better than my old 2407HC but I will exchange it since I got 1 dead pixel, some scratches on the frame and is 1-2mm lower to the right. My question , I tried to adjust the ratio to 1:1 in games but this option is allways grey out ?? I got no problem with...

like I said "it" talking about the PSU.....it's not the video card, not the fan, not the MB...I specify the PSU.... Well anyway I reinstall my old antec NEO 550 HE and everything is fine now. The Zalman crap is going back.
