I recently picked up a netgear WGR614 and unfortunately ended up with a v7 when I wanted a v9. v7 is atheros based where as the v9 is broadcom (as I understand it). I plan to exchange it but I dont see anything on the exterior of the packaging that indicates what version it is. Does...

Good deal, but it's important to note that this appears to be the standard 7900 GS, not their KO edition with the copper heatsink (even though the little picture of the card on that link looks like the KO card) But it's hard to tell, they might just have forgot to add the "KO" part. But even...

You're right, my mistake. I do have another question, though. I have a hardware identical rig running Win XP and under XP all three programs say it (the second rig) is running hot at about 53, 54 idle and 75 under load. Gigabyte DS3 with C2D 6300 on both the Vista rig and the XP rig. 1/3...

Speedfan and coretemp say my C2D on Vista is running at about 34-37 idle, and 57-60 under load. TAT says 50-54 idle and ~68-74 under load. What's going on?

Double post, delete please.

I'm not sure what t_ski means when he says you'll receive the business edition. That is not correct. There are differences between the academic license and the standard license on a copy of Vista Home Premium Upgrade. However, they don't affect functionality at all. Once you have either...

You guys looked at too much pron and mom.exe grounded your computer.

G66- Are you running Windows Vista? Because when I run ntune I can't find anything that mentions fan control. Can someone walk me step by step through how to control the fan using either Nvidia control panel or Ntune? And yes I'm sure it's the card making the noise. I just put it into a...

In case it wasn't clear, the 6800 has run WinXP (internet, office, etc) stable for years now, and that's why I am worried about how I will explain the issue to BFG, and it's also why I would like some ideas about how I can confirm once and for all if it is indeed the card and not something else.

Hi, Skip this paragraph if you want to jump straight to my question. I have a 6800 GT running in one of my computers. I originally got it for gaming a while ago, and I just never played many games on it. Well, that is partially because the first game I really wanted to play (I think it was Half...

They were referring to the $89 after rebate and pricematch deal a couple weeks ago. I walked out of Fry's B+M with a 7900 for $89 AR, and yes it was a steal.

You buy a card now, you register it on EVGA's site, and within 90 days you can trade it in and get 100% of your purchase price to spend on any more expensive EVGA product.

I'm pretty sure the card has the ability to control the fan, based on whether it's in2D vs 3D, or based on temperature, without any external programs such as rivatuner. For example, in Windows XPthe fan slows down when there is a 2D or otherwise less demanding application running, and the fan...

Ihave heard Riva Tunermentioned before, but it does not seem to work properly with the 7900GS on Vista. When I run the application, under "driver" it says "no supported driver detected" There are a few other tabs such as the registery editor list, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do to...

I'm also very interested in this. I have the same card running Vista premium,and the fan is quiet forabout the first thirty seconds after Windows boots, then it kicks up to high speed. Is it possible to reduce the fan speed?
