    Looking for a good way to test Mobility 4650 Temperatures

    HWMonitor doesn't seem to be able to pick up the card. I'm...dubious of furmark. I want to just get a read under standard load, not risk a meltdown in a hot laptop.

    Looking for a good way to test Mobility 4650 Temperatures

    I've got the following laptop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834117953 And I'm trying to pin down a good cooler for it. I've got an antec unbeatable 200 in hand, and I want to run some tests to see if/how much it improves cooling on my machine. The problem, is...

    Case Showdown: Antec 900 vs 902

    If it's between the two, no question, the 902. In the beginning, there was the Antec 900. And it was a dandy mid-tower for airflow and a design somewhere above basic box without going into godawful 1950's scifi reject territory. Fantastic air-cooling basic starting point. Not everyone was...

    Low WoW Framerates?

    I do know that some recent model ATI cards have been mistaking WoW for a 2d app and running it at 2d clock speeds, severely hurting performance. The workaround is to create a profile for wow that forces your card's 3d performance clock speeds, it may be worth looking into.

    Bizarre graphics problem - visible seams in all games.

    The change in mobo appears to have greatly reduced/fixed the problem, but yes, I tried all permutations of driver/client settings. As near as I can tell, something about the old motherboard was causing extreme degredation of the quality of AA. My best guess is this was causing the lines I...

    Bizarre graphics problem - visible seams in all games.

    Update: New motherboard, and graphics have extremely improved. Most noticeably, overall performance is up, and anti-aliasing quality has improved quite a bit, making the appearance of the lines I've described greatly reduced. I have no idea why yet, but there it is.

    Gigabyte ep45-ud3p keyboard works in BIOS but not after post.

    Nevermind, found the issue. I'll leave it here for anyone else's sake and as a brief monument to my failure to check something so obvious. Apparently, the bios default (at least on this board, a rev. 1.1), is to have usb keyboard support disabled. It's such an odd thing to default a setting...

    Gigabyte ep45-ud3p keyboard works in BIOS but not after post.

    Hardware is as in sig, with the exception of the new motherboard (Gigabyte EP45-UD3P) and just having migrated to an antec 1200 case. Board posts fine, I can get into bios, tweak settings. All temps appear normal, CPU sitting well with new silent knight cooler on it. Once I leave bios and...

    Case Shopping, looking for some opinions of those who have the cases.

    I'm curious since you have the 1200...do the filters do a decent job of stopping dust intake? The amount of dust the filterless 900 gathers is downright scary, especially in the drive bays.

    Case Shopping, looking for some opinions of those who have the cases.

    Interesting build with all the sound suppression, great design towards that purpose. Me, I'm not terribly concerned with noise levels. 1. My hearing is a bit damaged. 2. When watching movies or playing games, I either use quality headphones or a powerful set of speakers. Furthermore I have...

    Case Shopping, looking for some opinions of those who have the cases.

    I'm shopping around for a new full tower case, and trying to whittle down the short list. I'm currently using an Antec 900, but it's a bit cramped, and the lack of filtration in my house is a problem. I was thinking about the antec twelve hundred, but I'm not sure I like the limited design for...

    Bizarre graphics problem - visible seams in all games.

    Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, and...Yes. Already did try the texture clamp settings, and even tried running WoW through OpenGL. I tried different resolutions, none of them seemed to have any effect. I did notice that the different floors have those lines in the background as you pointed out, but...

    Bizarre graphics problem - visible seams in all games.

    I've experimented with a lot of the different settings...aa transparency, lod bias, filtering quality, trilinear optimization, turning triple buffer on/off, texture clamp...none of them has had any particular effect. I've tried old drivers, new drivers, tweaked drivers...I've been trying to...

    Bizarre graphics problem - visible seams in all games.

    Your explanation makes sense...there's just a couple of things bugging me about it. 1. I can distinctly recall a time when I didn't have these errors. 2. Those examples from Sims 2? Maximum AA settings. 3. The odd examples that remain consistant at extremely close range. (The last...

    Bizarre graphics problem - visible seams in all games.

    If 8x AA isn't enough to squash it...there's a problem. I suppose that this could be an issue with AA being poor...but then, if AA is that poor at highest settings, I'm back to square one with trying to figure out what is causing the problem.
