    Best PHYSX carD?

    I use a BFG gtx275 OC with a BFG 8800gt OC2 for physx. I tried out Batman, and it was supremely better with the 8800gt. I reckon that you don't need a higher end card than an 8800gt to do physx well, but obviously bigger is better. That being said, I will be relegating my 275 to physx when the...

    OCZ Blade on a Striker II formula

    I have OCZ blade ram guaranteed to run at 1150, but on my board it will only ever run at 800. I used to have an asus p5n-t which ran it at the correct speeds no problem, but since i changed due to a mobo fault, the new mobo will not allow me to boost the ram frequency to 1150. I've had the...

    q9450 p5n-t gtx 275 issue

    oh right ok. well i gave it another shot with different ram. its still freezing up. Basically, i've given up and bought a Striker II formula, to save me the hassle. If that doesn't work, then at least i know its not the motherboard thats the problem.

    q9450 p5n-t gtx 275 issue

    i don't think its overheating, its only running around 50c each core. However, it did come up with a hardware error message, saying there was something wrong with the memory parity check. I tested the memory, and it works fine in other computers and also tried some old spare ram which i know...

    q9450 p5n-t gtx 275 issue

    right, after testing the bios is still freezing when i try to do anything in it, so its not the bios thats the problem. TBH i think my chipset is knackered. it just won't let me make any changes. I managed to get the bios flashed, and i was lucky. if i try to do anything to fast, the bios...

    q9450 p5n-t gtx 275 issue

    yeah i just managed that for the first time, im now on the newest bios, but after installing i tried to change the voltage settings, as i've been told i need to up the vcore, and the bios froze. not doing so good.

    q9450 p5n-t gtx 275 issue

    well its interesting as the motherboard is stated as handling 45nm chips, but i've had trouble updating the bios anyway cos it would never see the bios file when trying to flash it. i'll have another crack at it though

    q9450 p5n-t gtx 275 issue

    i'm putting this here, even though it can go under motherboards and gfx cards as well. basically, i have an asus p5n-t motherboard with a newly purchased q9450 and bfg gtx275 OC. before this i had the same mobo with a q6600 and 8800gt which ran perfectly. I installed the new components, which...

    Case Suggestions for uber water cooling

    I am looking for a new case. My current case, kandalf LCS, is a nice case, but its awkward to refill and when changing components, its a pain. I'm looking for a case of similar, or slightly larger size, which will support the following: Standard ATX mobo 3x GTX260 sized GFX cards 1200w...

    Idle temps shot up 12 degrees!!!

    My idle temps shot up 2 days ago to about 12 degrees higher than they used to. around the same time, i noticed that my videos now artifact. Haven't tried any games, as i reckon it may be the graphics card, but i'm not sure. i have a q6600 @ 3ghz, and an 8800gt on my water loop, and they used...

    WC'ing Chipset and Mosfet

    I'm looking into watercooling my p5n-t motherboard, and I'm looking for some advice. I'm normally quite savvy with this sorta stuff, but I have never wc'd a chipset or mosfet. Looking around, it looks like it will be easy enough to do the NB/SB on my board, but i'm slightly confused about...

    physx and dx11

    i thought that would be the most likely case. but i figured i would check, seeing as Nvidia Physx has only been around for DX10 cards, I thought there may be some issues with mixing the hardware. but seeing as dx11 isn't out yet, i suppose we wont find any possible issues until its released

    physx and dx11

    I've been meaning to upgrade my graphics for a while now, and i came up with the plan to get a cheap, but good board now, then when DX11 comes out, buy 2 of the big cards and downgrade the prev card to a physx card. However, I occurred to me that this might have an affect, using a dx10 card...

    ATI and Nvidia in same computer?

    Hi. I currently have a WC'd 8800gt in my system, and I'm getting a 4890 tomorrow. Problem is, i don't want to watercool this card, and I don't want to take my wc setup apart until I replace the CPU next month. Can you have both the ATI and Nvidia running in the same system, or do I have to take...
