    Appropriate X3350 temps?

    I reseated things, but it didn't make a difference. Realtemp says all my cores are 10 degrees C cooler than CoreTemp. Here's my current temps at idle. (Keep in mind I had to disable the extended halt state or the mobo freezes) C0=48 C1=35 C2=35 C3=48 I hit "Test Sensors" in Real Temp and...

    Appropriate X3350 temps?

    My CPU is at stock speeds and Auto voltage (Which is at 1.152 right now).

    Appropriate X3350 temps?

    Should a 4-core 42nm X3350 (Q9450) with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro and Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal goo be running as high as 70 degrees under load? That's the hottest core only, rest run 4-7 degrees cooler. 2 Orthos running on 2 cores each. Temps displayed by CoreTemp .99. I've been...

    Xeon E3110

    Sweet. Good to know the procs will work. Now... Is it faster? Is there any funky thing on a Xeon over a C2Q that would make it suck for gaming or is it basically just a badge switch?

    Xeon E3110

    Okay, I'm a total tool. Ignore that previous comment. What I meant was the exact same comment with the Xeon X3350, not the 3110. This idiot requests a new answer to the same two questions.

    Xeon E3110

    Hey guys. Quick question. Just got a EVGA 790i board and was wondering if a Xeon E3110 would: A) Be faster than a Q6600 (G0 stepping) in games. B) Actually work on the board.

    Radiohead “Name Your Price” Album Stats

    I got it for free to check it out and thought it was horrid. I love the model, just not the music. Also grabbed the Saul Williams album, but only liked the Sunday Bloody Sunday cover. May wind up paying a buck for that. It'd be nice if you could comment with your payment. I bet more people would...

    EVGA 8800 GTX ACS3 black screen

    Nope. Didn't fix it. Seems to have lessened it though. Any further suggestions? I'd rather not pull my X-Fi...

    EVGA 8800 GTX ACS3 black screen

    RAM changeout didn't work, so I removed the SMBUS drivers. THAT seems to have fixed it. (So far. 3 2+ hr game sessions and no crsh yet! Crossing my fingers.)

    EVGA 8800 GTX ACS3 black screen

    Thus far in the 3 topics I made on 3 forums, the following has been suggested by people who have had this exact problem and fixed it: 1. Change the video driver to 160.04. It fixed a few people's problems. 2. Change out the RAM. (I have done this earlier today and it SEEMS to have stopped...

    EVGA 8800 GTX ACS3 black screen

    Well this IS the replacement board. My old one was a Striker Extreme and had the same problem. Added to post that I'm using Vista Ultimate (Fully patched and so are all things I'm trying to play) and the 158.45 drivers. Fresh OS install as of a month ago. If it's game audio, it loops upon...

    Help me and I'll pay you

    It was a C2D6600. Now it's a quad 6600. I leave the voltage at Auto for now as it reduces my temps. I figure it's not the proc as I can run Orthos for hours no problems. And naw, it's not a bluescreen. Like I said, on screen action stops and the monitor goes into standby. I then have to shut...

    Help me and I'll pay you

    Okay. Now I'm really pissed. I replaced the motherboard with an EVGA 680i Rev. A1 and the same stuff happens! I even changed out the processor! GAH! I've tried elsewhere, but maybe someone here can enlighten me. Is the following problem a driver issue or what: Playing Infernal (Or any number...
