Well that settles it, I suppose I'll flash the bios to the latest non-beta version. Originally I had flashed the bios because I was trying to eliminate a booting blue-screen, but ever since I formated and installed Vista that has been a thing of the past. Back to the non-beta I go, and...

I'm not sure when it first started, but lately I've noticed that my POST screen says "COUNT : 2" when it used to say 4. I've got a Q6600 that I know used to display as "COUNT : 4". It seems that Vista is just fine; taskmanager shows 4 cores, device manager shows 4 entries, and CPUZ shows 4...

I had a KDS CRT years ago, was really nice then it crapped out on me. I didn't think KDS was still in existance, I wouldn't be surprised if this was another company that bought the name. As for this monitor I cannot comment sorry. :(

Yeah I mean 60 mm = 6 cm :D Oh and I realised I spelled bus with two s's :p Well do you trust a fan bus for important stuff like a video card or CPU? Thanks

I have a Leadtek 6800 GT and have carefully modded it with a 6 cm Sunon fan. I unscrewed the filter and carefully took out the tiny factory fan. I then zap-strapped the the Sunon over the hole in the fan shroud, the fanshroud is perfect for a 6 cm fan! Now my question is......... Would...

I have noticed my posts disappear as well. I posted 2nd in a thread that made it to the front page. I noticed that after it was linked to the front page my post was gone! I think I was edited out or something. :o

Well thanks a lot guys! Ice Czar, I'm going to try what you said. I'll keep you guys posted.

Ok, so I've set the jumpers on both my drives to Master and Slave respectively, I've also replaced the IDE cable to the HDs. So far I have not replaced the cable to the optical drives. This morning on boot-up it took 30 seconds or so for the bios to recognize my IDE drives! Ahhh! I am getting...

Its taking ages to detect all onboard IDE, HDs and optical drives. I was checking out Maxtor's website and they claim that all cable-select capable drives should be set to cable select! Huh? Since when do we not set Master and Slave on our HDs? I think I have one drive set to Master and on...

Well I guess I'll have to give that a try. Anyone else care to comment?

Mother Board Monitor detects my max CPU temp durring Sisoft Sandra CPU Burn-in at 63c. Sisoft detects the temp to be 60 max. I am running a P4 [email protected] on an Asus P4P800. Which program is more accurate? Thanks

For some reason after transferring the contents of my PC to a new case (Antec Sonata), I now have to wait at least 45 seconds for my bios to detect my IDE drives! Now the obvious factor here is the cables are bad, but I can still do everything on both HDs just fine in windows and there doesn't...

So you think I can safely go to 1.5 or something? How much do you think this would effect my processor's life? I would aim to keep 60c under load.

bump :D

So what do you consider safe Prescott Voltage? My box says I can go 1.4v max which I am pretty happy with, but I want to push my CPU farther. I have an XP-120 with Arctic Silver 3 (I still have a lot left from my last install) I am running a 3.2E @ 3.6 1.4v. Right now with Sisoft Sandra...
