Never mind, figured it out. Caught a Bitcoin virus. Shit, I haven't gotten hit in years, and years. No idea what the vector was...

I started getting 100% GPU usage and no GPU clocks after installing 12.4, I think. I've spent 3 hours today uninstalling and reinstalling trying to narrow this down. Now I'm back on 11.9. However, I still have 100% GPU usage at desktop, though it takes a while to kick in. Totally flumoxxed, I...

I have 6 gigs and during some overclocking lost 4 but got it back...Not sure what it is, but you have to make sure it's not using the XMP profile, it won't set the ram voltage right, and that QPI does have to be 1.35 or so. That needs to be within .5 of the ram voltage.

Well, it is noticeably worse. I am now getting lag spikes on all the servers I've tried (I define spike as something disappearing for a microsecond and reappearing ) and I can't hit anything. It doesn't make sense that a command-line ping to a server and the browser show low pings and then in...

Good, maybe they're fixing stuff. Since the Vietnam patch came out, I still have pings of <25 to nearby servers, but as soon as I get in a server, everyone's ping is usually > 100, sometimes in the 200s, and mine is around 90-100. It's unplayable at those pings. I've frakked with my router, did...

I just disabled hybrid sleep in Windows power settings in 7 64 bit (it's under Sleep in the advanced power settings) and now it's fine. I'm pretty happy with this board, though I'm still getting to grips with the BIOS. Obviously also turn off hibernation. Hybrid sleep fails 10-20% of the time...

Yeah, of course. Tried using recovery console on the drive, but it claims I have an administrator password and I don't, so...I think I'm screwed.

I got a nice big WD640AAKS and since it seems to be much faster than my Seagate, I wanted to copy the OS over and try to boot off it. The problem is I moved a lot of files from my other hard drives to this one already. I tried using Acronis Disc Director to copy the entire thing over and make...

Did anyone ever come up with a definitive answer to this? I used to be able to go to 400 FSB on my e6400 fine, but then a few months ago it always started going to X1 PCI link width, and now nothing seems to help, when setting PCI frequency at 101 or something else used to. Since I mostly game...

If you don't want to screw with your bios,see this information I posted from another thread. Basically the bios update is just going to do the same thing, except hardcode it. I recommend looking into this because you can adjust it more. Nvidia's fan architechture is very different. You can...

Nvidia's fan architechture is very different. You can set it to automatically spin up and down using the Low-level system/settings/Fan/Auto part. First you have to enable a registry key (from within Riva) to change this. This is where the 29% until 100c, then 100% thing is set. Then you...

The memory is bad, period. The artifacts may only appear in the most graphically intensive game ever, but eventually they will start appearing in other games, even when underclocked. RMA it. I have a KO, clocked at 675/975 and have yet to see an artifact in Crysis, albeit I am not letting it...

100c is absurd, no matter how you look at it. The processor may well be able to run at that temp, what concerns me is the memory. Overheating memory can frequently lead to small errors that become bigger with time, until you get crashes or artifacts in game... It also does not happen...

So if you have a default 8800GT with the fan stuck at 29% until it hits 100c, you have nothing to worry about according to JacobF: "The 8800GT runs at 29% fan speed by default, it will increase when the the card deems necessary, usually this is over 100c. The card is rated for over this...

Post 'em if you got 'em. These KOs must be binned...This is on stock cooling with the fan auto adjusting. Oddly when I turned off the artifact tester and the thing just spun the fan kicked up to 60%... 719/1798/986.
