Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
thanks for the response. I am a little confused as to which one your speaking about, but I think the first one your talking about is the south bridge and the later paragraph is the "north bridge". Correct me if I am mistaken.
Thank you for posting, Please look at an A8N32, not the A8N boards. There is indeed a second chipset just under thecpu socket, then there is the southbridge.
I have been out of the hardward area for sometime. Being as such, it surprised me recently when reading a review on the A8N32-SLI boards. What hit me first was the presence of a northbridge heatsink. It took me a minute to figure out what I was seeing, but after reading the article, it stated...
went to that link as well and got no pop ups.
As far as what PSU to use and voltage lines, amps, and wattts go; it is just as important what wattage you are getting as the amps you need. I have been at this business for some time, but I always make sure to get a PSU that more then runs...
The card really doesnt run fast enough for the 256MB ram to make that big of a difference. The reason why I say this is you cant run at high enough resolution for it to take full advantage of the extra ram. I have a BFG 6600gt OC that ran really nice for me in an older system I had running...
Sorry to hear you bad time with eVGA. I recently purchased a 7800gt CO from them and couldnt be happier with the card. I did have some problems, but driver related and not hardware related. I hope you have better luck with the BFG, I almost did the same before a friend told me about evga.
I have the 7800gt CO with the copper heatsink, and it handles the OC I have done so far (497/1220) quiet well. But from everything I have readon the 7800gt series, I would upgrade the the AC NV Silencer 5 ver. 3. I have seen some benchmarks that shows it cools the card really well and allow...
I love reading this sight for all of its news, benchmarks and other great information. I guess I am just disappointed in the lack of response to the problems I have been having. Although I understand that all of the forum pretty much are troubleshooting forum, I think the forums are loosing...
The problem is that drivers I was using were not compatible with Riva Tuner 15.7
Driver version 81.XX or higher are not compatible with the current Riva tuner, as far as keeping 2d settings and perf overclocking seperate.
Yes, Yes you can make a system for $400 just have to cut some corners and hope for some donations. If you havent taken the time to read anything other then the first post, dont bother posting. I have already shown at newegg that he can.
I went and downloaded the newest version of CPU-Z and got what I was looking for. Here is the validation link

After doing a quick build on newegg. This is minus some of the basic stuff like keyboard mouse and monitor (figure just about everyone has atleast one of those kinda lying around) here is what I have listed:
AMD 64 2800+ Clawhammer skt 754 $113
Foxconn K8S755A-6elrs $49
2x256 Corsair...
I recently decided to use CPUID to check out my cpu. It showed some very odd information. First off, it shows my AMD 64 3000+ venice core to be a skt 754 not a 939. Second, it shows that the CPU is running at 1813 mhz not the stock speeds of 1800
