    X1900XT + P5W Deluxe Problems

    I'm running a very similar setup including the 6600, motherboard and HIS card. No problems so far. Motherboard temps reporting between 35 and 50 degrees. My graphics card is in the same slot as yours. I have a different PSU though - Seagate S12 600W.

    First build - problems

    This is not true. My 6600 has been quite happy on an 0701 BIOS for a week or two now.

    Asus P5W DH boot problem

    Hi, I've set up my new system with the Asus P5W DH and a pair of drives connected to the EZ-RAID Sata connectors. This normally boots fine from those drives, but when I added a new drive to one of the other Sata connectors (Tried both Sata-1 (master boot connection) and Sata-3) it tried to...

    My issues with P5W-DH Deluxe

    I built a Conroe 6600 system on this board at the weekend. Graohics is HIS ICEQ3 X1900XT. Haven't overclocked it but it's running fine on the 701 BIOS - there has been some confusion over whether this works apparently. Installed Windows first then the ASUS software straightaway. Two...

    p180 build problem

    Thanks for the reply. Having re-read the manual and possibly seen the wood for the trees, it may be that this is USER ERROR and the rails are fitted the wrong way around. The holes in the drive bay seem ideally placed for the metal clips to snap into but I think that fitting the clips...

    p180 build problem

    I've just started a new build with the Antec P180 case and am having problems fitting the DVD Drives. I'm using LG GSA-H10NBAL and having fitted the rails supplied with the case, the drives do not sit flush to the front of the case. The best position leaves the front of the drive sticking...

    Cnoroe is great - but will we be able to buy it?

    The 6300 (OEM) and 6800 are showing in stock and ready to ship on the 24th at overclockers.co.uk Others are still on pre-order.

    Asus P5B Deluxe for sale! But GOD! Who would pay these prices?

    Most of the motherboard prices for Conroe are ridiculous. Is there anything wrong with the basic Intel 965 board? http://www.intel.com/products/motherboard/dp965lt/index.htm £88 at overclockers.co.uk

    What improvement can I expect

    Well, I've managed on the GeForce 2 for quite a while so I think I can probably live with that ;-) I might even just put in a 7600GT until DX10 cards are out and well supported with decent drivers. Spending $700+ dollars on a 7950 (UK prices) isn't on my radar. PC Games aren't a huge part...

    What improvement can I expect

    Yes I am using it and it does the job quite nicely except playing new games which I miss a bit. Running a firewall and antivirus while listening to MP3 and messing on the internet is taxing it though. I know it's going to be good, just looking for some help in imagining it ;) Not long...

    PC Games being released unfinished...An Opinion Piece

    Reasons for buggy games: Games are getting more complex and increased complexity = increased bugs. Cost of development. More complex games are more expensive. Creating games that meet most people's expectations now need a project of a similar size to making a movie. You just need to...

    What improvement can I expect

    My current PC is creaking a bit, mainly due to high memory usage so it's time to upgrade. What sort of percentage improvement over my current system can I expect with a Conroe 6600, 2Gb RAM and a 7900GT? I'm doing photo editing, general internet stuff and it would be nice to play modern...
