    Phenom 2 and 690g?

    I'm curious of how much of a bottleneck running a Phenom 2 in my Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H would be? It's a socket AM2 motherboard but Gigabyte seems to be pretty decent with processor support and the latest bios that I'm running supports the Phenom 2. It would be nice to be able to just upgrade...

    Guess I have a cpu bottleneck

    Taking a wild guess and going to say that the slow downs I experience in games are bacause of this bottleneck. If I was to upgrade my processor which would you guys suggest? I play at 1280x1024 so I'm guessing why my cpu is coming into play so much, didn't think that I would have this bad...

    GA-MA69GM-S2H and Phenom

    I'm kind of curious to know what my motherboard supports. The Gigabyte website says that it supports the Phenom 9750 125w even though it will drop the ht speed. What confuses me is that it says N/A for the Phenom 9850. The 9850 is the same chip with a higher core and ht clock isn't it? Is...

    Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H Issues

    I'm having issues with trying to run my 8800GS in my AM2 system. It's not the video card because it works fine in a emachines I have sitting around. My Antec EarthWatts should also be good enough for my system. I can run windows great but when I play pretty much any game I'll get freezing...

    Video card issues in main pc, fine in other?

    I've been having issues with my main system, I get random freezing and graphics corruption while playing games. It was fine with my 8600gt but with the 8800gs I'm having a lot of issues. The game will freeze and the sound will loop and when I press caps lock the light takes forever to come...

    Video card not stable at stock clocks?

    I've been having issues with my card, trying to find out what was causing it for the last couple of weeks. Finally decided that I should underclock it to 500/700 from 550/800. A half an hour before I underclocked I tried playing cod4 but it froze with "DirectX Has Encountered An...

    8800GS Issues, Hopefully Solved :D

    I've played 5 maps of Cod4 and Nfsu2 for about an hour so I think I fixed the issues I was having with my 8800GS. The solution hopefully was switching "Init display first" in the bios from PCI to PEG. Has this been an issue for anyone else? Would this be the cause of freezing and weird...

    Overheating causing freezing?

    I love my 8800GS and all but if I leave my fan at the stock 30% my computer will lockup during gaming. I really don't understand because from what I've seen the temps don't get high. When the lockup occurs if I press my caps lock key the light won't come on until it un-freezes or it takes a...

    8800GS worth it for me?

    I killed my xfx 8600gt xxx two weeks back and have been looking for a replacement, I really don't want anything loud so the Evga 8800gs was appealing to me because it actually changed fan speed unlike the xfx. I have a 19" Dell CRT max res of 1600x1200. At most I'd be playing at 1280x1024 and if...

    So I killed my 8600gt

    Decided to put some new thermal compound on it because it was running warm, How the hell do you guys get the thermal paste off without it getting everywhere? Video cards need heat spreaders. Once I got it cleaned off I put some thermal compound on and put the hsf back on. Put it in my system and...
