    Corsair PSU made a BIG difference!

    Thanks Redbeard. It's always a good re-assuring thing to see an actual rep from the company, reading what their target market of customers has to say about their products :)

    Corsair PSU made a BIG difference!

    This is my system: Intel DX38BT Q6600 G0 w/ Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme 2GB DDR3 OCZ Gold Corsair TX650W WD 640GB ATI 4850 Earlier this month I upgraded my old PC and when doing so, I used the older Antec Earthwatts 500W power supply I had. It wasn't bad I thought, but when trying...

    My PC won't boot into XP!

    Everything was working fine yesterday. Today, all I did was transfer everything over to my new Lian Li PC-7B case with Corsair TX650w power supply. The machine booted fine into Xp the first time. I noticed it took a bit longer than usual once in windows because it detected 'new hardware' (which...

    FSX: Disappointed with Radeon 4850

    My chip is a Q6600 G0, however even with a Thermalright Ultra 120 I cannot get it past 3.1GHz. Anything above that, even with a 1:2 mem divider and voltage of 1.4 on the CPU just wont boot, or crashes just as it goes into windows. The only 2 things I could think of that are holding me back could...

    FSX: Disappointed with Radeon 4850

    Well everyone. I think I finally fixed the issue. It seems that it was driver related. I un-installed the latest ATI driver, and instead loaded the one that came in the CD with the card, and my frame rates have increased quite a bit, and even a bit above the 7900GTO. That's all it was. I...

    FSX: Disappointed with Radeon 4850

    Well, with all the rave reviews this card was getting, and everyone saying it beat the 9800GTX, I assumed this would also be the case in FSX. I mean, I don't think I was wrong to assume that the latest state of the art card would beat a 2 year old graphics card, but I guess I was wrong. In 90%...

    FSX: Disappointed with Radeon 4850

    Well guys, I've been offered a month old XFX 9800GTX (with receipt, box and all accessories) for my ATI 4850. Should I do it? Fair deal?

    FSX: Disappointed with Radeon 4850

    Well, I can't return the CPU or GPU, unfortunately. I;d have to sell them privately. The 4850 I can sell pretty easily. As for Quad vs Duo. I was under the impression and have heard from numerous sources that FSX will indeed take advantage of a Quad. I've seen stats where all 4 cores were...

    FSX: Disappointed with Radeon 4850

    Yes, I know, but how does that explain the fact that it runs smoother on my 2 year old graphics card than on the newer state of the art Radeon 4850? Surely the GPU must have at least a bit of a bearing on overall performance in FSX.

    FSX: Disappointed with Radeon 4850

    Last week I got the bug to upgrade my old computer to run Flight Sim X. So I got: Q6600 @2.8GHz (overclocked) on Thermalright Ultra-120 2GB DDR3 OCZ Intel DX38BT WD 640GB HDD EVGA 7900GTO 512Mb (from my old system) I installed FSX w/SP2 and running Omega Nvidia drivers. In the KSEA...

    Flight Sim X - VIdeo Card

    I won't wait because DX10 cards will be too expensive. I already ordered the GTO, and I got it at a good price. I needed a new card anyways. Also, no need to wait. Even though the release date is the 18th of October, some Best Buys and Wal-Marts have already leaked copies on the shelves. I...

    Flight Sim X - VIdeo Card

    Well, my GF 6800 256Mb (non-ultra) finally started to show it's age, once I installed the new Flight Simulator X. I basically had to run everything on low settings in order for me to get a decetn 15fps, whereas in FS2004, I was easily getting 35+. So, I decided to pull the trigger and I...

    Smartpower 450W good enough?

    Well, I decided to go all out and get good components, and know that I have the best I can afford, and that it's proven to get the results I'm looking for. So, I got a OCZ Powerstream 520w today, and tomorrow I'm picking up a classic Coolermaster Praetorian in bare aluminum. I went over twice...

    Smartpower 450W good enough?

    In that case am i better off going for the P150 with the 450E Neo HE psu? As a last resort I'd buy a Modstream or Powerstream PSU, but then I have to buy a case separately and that will get costly. What's my best choice, since I'm on a budget?

    Smartpower 450W good enough?

    I'm building a new rig and I'm looking at getting a Sonata II case. I was originally wanting the P150, but the quality control issues on the PSU hav e steered me away. Anyways, can the PSU of the Sonata II handle my system: Opteron 144 (looking to OC to FX-57 speeds) 2 x 512Mb Mushkin...
