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.
Well, the weird thing is when the sysm booted which was every time after being off, when running stability tests like intel burn test, prime 95/orthos etc, there was never any instability. It always passed the tests with 0 errors.
Whilst overclocking I kept all memory voltage at stock, whilst...
Ahh my fault. So the FSB Termination Voltage is the FSB increase. My problem now is, I don't know what they are set to by default as SB, NB & FSB voltages are set to Auto. How can I determine what they are by default? None of the apps I have installed (Asus AI suite, coretemp, speedfan) show...
Ahh I see. I guess the P5K doesn't have this. Settings I have for adjusting voltages:
Vcore
CPU Voltage Reference
CPU Voltage Damper
CPU PLL Voltage
DRAM Voltage
FSB Termination Voltage
NB Voltage
NB Voltage Reference
SB Voltage
I got the impression that maybe the CPU was sucking too much from the motherboard, so the PCIe wasn't getting enough power or something? So maybe upping NB voltage. It's strange as it seemed ok for a four-five days or so then randomly got me on a reboot. PCIe frequency has always remained locked...
Recently been toying around with overclocking my C2D 6420. Started off at 266, long story short ended up at 400MHz stable.. Pc ran ok for about a week. Friday afternoon I did a windows update, rebooted - and I got no display. The fan on the graphics card carried on running at full speed...
You're card is definitely a wrong one, or lack of power or something. My 4870 flies in Cod4 on max settings + aa + af @ 1920x1200. Never once did it ever feel slow throughout the whole game. That was with my processor @ stock (2.13) speeds.
I'm starting to think my card is going faulty. Only had it since end of August (practically brand new) - should be ok to get a replacement right? It's a Force3D one. Now I'm having funny reboot problems with it. I reboot, the fan stays on full speed and I get no display. I have to switch the PC...
Since my last (and first) attempt at upgrading ATI drivers, I can't run the ATI' exe's anymore. I just get "ati install manager has stopped working". Had to use the CMD to force the new ones to install after searching 4 hours. I still can't run the exe's even now - same error message.
I read...
I get a similar noise when the graphics card comes under load. It's worrying but it doesn't seem to affect anything. I just hope it's not bad and doesn't kill the card as it's not a nice noise.
What method are you guys using when upgrading drivers? The last time I tried updating my drivers, after uninstalling, then running driver cleaner, when trying to install the new ones (running the exe), kept getting "ati catalyst install manager has stopped working" error!!
Read loads of...
But surely enabling the voltage damper to maintain the 1.2650Vcore would rectify this?
I just ran 10 runs of IBT. Apparently my system is stable :) I was surprised however, by how much higher it took the load temp. It took it to 50c. First time I have seen the temp go this high!
