    Building a new rig around a 4770k and having trouble picking a board. I know the older Hero VI was regarded highly, but read mixed reviews for the new version.

    Anyone have hassles with VisionTek RMA?

    Wonder if I can get my money back if the second RMA does not work. Maybe I will try going to American Express, here's hoping.

    Anyone have hassles with VisionTek RMA?

    Had an issue with my 4870x2. Worked fine in games but had strange power up problems. It would not wake from standby, had to reset CMOS. Also on a cold boot up the board would report no VGA. After a quick reset usually worked fine, sometimes it required a CMOS reset. Picked up a cheap...

    No VGA detected after Cold Post or Standby?

    Picked up another vid card, the 4350hd, and I have no issues with it. Cold boots and standby have been working fine so far. I am gonna assume its not the motherboard, but the 4870x2. Going to set up an RMA.

    No VGA detected after Cold Post or Standby?

    OKay will this is odd, I had left my case open for the past few days and I had no issues with start ups. Computer powered on first try every time without any issues. Any idea why the hell that is?

    No VGA detected after Cold Post or Standby?

    No other computers in my house have a pci-e slot. I just ordered a cheap vid card off newegg.com to test out, a HD4350. It was only $24 after rebate. So I will try it that out when I get it. If anything at least I will have a spare card lying around if I need to RMA the 4870x2. Also is it...

    No VGA detected after Cold Post or Standby?

    No VGA detected after Cold Post or Standby?

    I have an Asus P6T deluxe and for whatever reason I have cold start up issues. Standby never worked for me, if it sat for awhile. If i woke it within 5 minutes it was fine, anything longer I would just get a blank screen. Monitor would not detect any signal. Power cycles would not fix the...

    I am getting around the same temps with my noctua, although I am not using their fans, using Delta set to a low RPM.

    Help on Newbie i7 OC? 920 & P6T Deluxe

    I'm also running my i7 @ 190x20 with 1.35 volts. I hit around 82c with my Noctua heatsink, idle is around 42-44c depending on core. However with this warm weekend we had here in NJ my idle is around 46-47c. I hate spring time, not hot enough for the AC so my computers roast.

    Core i7 Overclock Issue

    No problem, just run memtest and see if they hold up. If they do a few hours no problems though it might just be compatablity issues with the board. Good luck either way, I know how frustrating it can be. Asus P6T deluxe and Corsair Dominator 1600 DDR3

    I have 6 sticks (12GB total) of Corsair Dominator 1600, and I am running my i7 920 @ 3.8 no problems. May be the board or the sticks.

    Core i7 OC - Few questions on voltages, temp, and stability.

    I have my i7 set to the same 3.8 @ 1.35V. At those settings I was able to run prime95, LinX together for hours on end without any issues. Even played crysis for a bit while they were both running.....stable as a rock. I have a noctua heatsink with delta fans (on low rpm) doing push/pull...

    PC not fully going into standby?

    No dice... I set the computer to balanced mode. Made sure my USB mouse was set so it wasn't able to wake the computer. Also changed my multimedia settings to allow the computer to sleep. Well the computer did go to sleep, but did not wake up. Upon hitting a key on the keyboard...

    PC not fully going into standby?

    It is in high performance mode, but would it not still go into standby when I hit sleep? What the hell is it doing then when I try too? Just logging me off and putting the monitor on standby? Thanks for the tip though. I will give that a try when I get home. I hope its that simple. What...

    PC not fully going into standby?

    I had some issues with standby and my monitor not posting and video, but new ATi drivers fixed that. However I needed to reformat for some other issues and now standby no longer works. When I hit the sleep button the monitor shuts down, the fans still are running, I can hear the HDD going...

    3.4 ghz ceiling on Core i7 920

    Okay I get everything on there except ce1 and speed step. It does not effect your OC and it saves you power and heat by throttling down the CPU on idle. Why would you want to turn that off?

    3.4 ghz ceiling on Core i7 920

    You need to increase the CPU voltage. It takes my 920 1.25V to be stable at 3.6 and 1.35V at 3.8.

    Dawn of War II random crashes...

    Just saw the 9.2 were posted, downloaded and installed this morning. Haven't had a chance to play yet. Will give it a try when I get home, hopefully it works without a hitch. Also heard 9.2 fixed the black screen of death, coming out of standby for some x58 users.

    Dawn of War II random crashes...

    So how many people are having this issue. The game runs great on Ultra settings for me, but keep getting random crashes. Could be during a mission, at the menu screen, or video playback. The problem is supposed to be more on Vista 32 bit end, I'm running 64 with 12GB of memory, not sure how I...

    Looking to get a new heatsink for i7

    Haha no that was supposed to be super thin, to early in the morning I guess for me...lol. magoo, Thanks for the suggestions. I sent an e-mail over to Danger Den asking for a list of parts needed for an i7 and 4870x2. Total cost for everything was like $350. Not to bad. Although the rad...

    Looking to get a new heatsink for i7

    Well @ 3.8ghz w/1.35V Im around 44-46c idle and hit around 82c load (Prime95 and Linx). Normal gaming It never really goes over 60 however. I just don't understand by my idle temps are so high I have seen others with mid 30s even 20s at stock speeds. At stock speed I am around 36-40c. I...

    Blank screen coming out of standby?

    Not sure where to post thins, so apologize if its the wrong forum. My monitor will come out of standby if I wake it after a few minutes, any longer and I get a blank screen. However I can hear windows loading up fine. It takes several reboots, disconnecting power cord, and resets to get the...

    i7 920 - Core Temperature Differences

    Well I can tell you I also thought my 3.8 oc was stable at 1.3v and was prime stable for 24 hours. Didn't really feel like it was stressing the CPU as browsing the net and doing daily tasks was not effected. Also ran into a thread about running multiple stress tests. Tried running Linx and...

    Simultaneous torture testing with different programs

    Yah just ran for 5 hours and it made it through 15 passes with out any of errors. It's not the heat because it never went over 65c with the 3.2ghz. I think it the mem speed is to high (Corsair 1600 @1604) or there was not enough voltage. Gonna continue messing with it today and see what I...

    Artifacts from CPU overclock?

    Hmmm, guess that might have been the cause then. Running Linux/Prime95 at various OCs with ATItool running too make sure everything is stable now. Guess I will have to use my Mimo display on a non gaming machine.

    Simultaneous torture testing with different programs

    Well my room was getting to hot so need a lower OC. I was prime95 and Linx stable at 3.2ghz/1.25v. I tried throwing ATI tool into the mix and Linx was getting errors after a few passes. Running everything at stock speeds now with the same mixture of tests for the hell of it. Maybe its a...

    Artifacts from CPU overclock?

    Is it possible that another display driver caused the issue? I had a USB monitor hooked up showing a yahoo widget that monitors the computer. I uninstalled and played for about 2 hours without any artifacts, but did lock up on me once.

    Artifacts from CPU overclock?

    I had my i7 920 OCed to 3.8 @ 1.35V, ran 100 passes with Linx and Prime95 (at the same time) without issues. Played about 30min of Crysis and started to get flashing white specks and a few small flashing textures. Ran ATI tool and it had errors the second it started. Lowered 920 OC to 3.2 @...

    i7 920 temp

    Hey guys I also got a similar question. I had some crazy loud delta fans keeping my 3.8 @ 1.35V around 39-40c idle. However after a few days I couldn't take the noise anymore so switched over to some noctua fans that came with my nocuta cooler. I can barely hear it now and I am idling at...
