    IP35 Pro Bios Flash

    Thanks a lot for the link, that HP utility worked (the only that has worked in vista). Unfortunately I do not have the necessary ms dos boot files and do not know where to find them in windows. Anyone know where I can get the boot files? Thanks!

    IP35 Pro Bios Flash

    Hey fellas, I just built a new system for Christmas and am working on finding a nice stable OC. After playing with some CPU frequencies Ive decided that I would like to update my bios, but I dont know how to do it. I am running Vista 32 bit and do not have a floppy drive. I want to just use a...

    Redid thermal paste on 8800 Ultra... WOW!

    Could you explain how lowering gpu temps will damage your ram in the future? Also, if you remove those thermal pads on the ram and just replace the pads with some AS5, wont it be alright?

    New build - Please take a look!

    Well after weeks of research Ive finally decided on a mobo and finalized my build (gonna order the last of the parts in the next couple of days). Ive decided to go with an Abit IP35-PRO. Ive heard great things about them with the only real complaints being slight vdroop issues and heatsinks...

    Which P35 mobo for overclocking?

    So Ive been trying to configure a system for some time now, first I was considering an X38 mobo but have decided to go with P35. Ive narrowed my search down to these boards: Abit IP35-Pro Asus P5K-E Gigabyte P35-DS4 MSI P35 Platinum All these boards meet my requirements regarding...

    New build - Please take a look!

    i did not know that lower multiplier x higher fsb = higher multiplier x lower fsb when the clock speeds are equal, I thought the higher memory frequnecy would increase performance. Well like i said i already bought that DDR2-1000 ram, but whatever I dont mind, it was worth the price and maybe I...

    New build - Please take a look!

    Right now I think I am leaning towards the Asus, I have only heard great things about it. Also, I already bought my RAM, 2x2GB G.Skill DDR2-1000 for $139 shipped, awesome price, couldnt resist. I am planning on a penryn (Q9450) upgrade next year and handing my Q6600 over to my dad. I plan...

    New build - Please take a look!

    Thanks again fellas, this has all been very helpful. I think Ive made up my mind and am going to be going with P35, it seems apparent that there are really no performance differences between X38 and P35 unless one utilizes crossfire and/or DDR3. So, I think Ive narrowed my choices down to...

    New build - Please take a look!

    Wow thanks a lot for all the suggestions, they definitely help. Tough decisions, I am definitely going to have to take some time and think some more before I order my mobo. Couple of questions, I thought X38 was supposed to bring a significant improvement to memory performance over P35, if it...

    New build - Please take a look!

    My needs are pretty simple...the rig will primarily be used for gaming and entertainment (movies, music), OCing with a Q6600 is important (and the new 45nm once released), e-sata would be a plus, no plans for RAID at this point, dont need SLI or crossfire, must have SATA obviously, at least 4...

    New build - Please take a look!

    I was thinking about that, but since this is a new build from the ground up and I am going to be upgrading my CPU and GPU in 2008, I decided that I want the newest chipset and in the future, after the X38 matures, I hope it will be outperforming P35s. Also, there are so many friggin P35 boards...

    2007 - Most Disappointing Year in PC Tech Since... ?

    In your case it would have lasted 2 years simply cuz hardware wasnt released...not becuase it wasnt needed, big difference. Im building a new system at the end of this month and Im really annoyed that the new 9 series isnt being released until next year, supposively February (thanks to a lack...

    New build - Please take a look!

    Yea my Q6600 G0 arrived in the mail yesterday (from ClubIT), cant wait til I can build this thing. Im just worried about OCing because Ive heard ALOT of contradicting opinions about the GA-X38-DQ6. Most of the negative reviews however, are from early October, so Im thinking new bioses and a...

    Optimal RAM for this setup?

    I went ahead and ordered that G.Skill 2x2GB, I just couldnt resist with a price like that. Hopefully it was a good decision, we'll find out once my system is built at the end of the month.
