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.
So I plan on investing in an Antec Phantom for my dad's computer. He's a musician and has a pseudo-recording studio in his room here. His computer is in the same room as he records everything digitally. I'm doing everything I can to make his setup as quiet as possible and the time has come for...
2.8Ghz appears to be the limit cause I tried to do 2.9Ghz and Orthos crapped out at a few minutes. I'll just have to accept it unless anyone can guess why Orthos fails at such variable amounts of time.
But, it is doing much cooler and I am still very happy with the jump from 2.2Ghz. ^_^
My dad is big into audio production and recording. He's currently using a P4 in a Sonata II case but the thing is still pretty loud.
I'm wondering what fans, PSU, and case y'all would recommend. I'd prolly go the next step and get as much sound dampening material that I could. Then when the...
Did you have a brand name power strip? If so, look it up and see if they have any insurance on it. That might be able to get you free components, otherwise do what Arc said and I'd go with the Intel systems. They just have so much potential!
Never remounted but right now I kicked the OC back to 2.9Ghz. I'm happy on the encoding spectrum and I'm gonna try Orthos after it is done. Orthos would fail around 12-13 hours at 3.0Ghz, is that stable or unstable?
Sure, message me with your SN.
I apologize for resurrecting the thread but I gotta figure this out.
Occasionally, my computer will freeze my processes one by one. One program will stop responding, then I'll try opening Task Manager. If I already have it open, I can't end anything.
It really sucks. My question is: is it...
And what's this stuff for Socket F? It's been a server socket forever, they probably figured that the architecture for it made the most sense for Quadfather. I would prefer Quadfather over Kentsfield anyway because K8L Quad-cores will fit in the sockets meaning.... Octofather :)
They max out at 63° C which I'm comfortable with cause my processor is rated for up to 70°.
At 1.5V, it failed at 3 hours. I'm gonna kick it back down to 1.475V and call it stable.
I decreased the voltage cause I think it was too much down to 1.475V and turned the fans back up so it's sitting comfortably around 60° C. Orthos had errored out at 13 hours. Should I try and get to 24 hours or is it inevitable that I'll error?
EDIT: And one of the instances of Prime errored...
