Sorry for the late update. The original MB was defective. Swapped it for a different one and all is working just fine. -Funk

That's what I thought regarding the RAM. Just not sure which component to return. MB or memory to get this rig up and running. -Funk

Nope, no BIOS action at all. I am about to bail on this Corsair bullshit and grab some of this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314&Tpk=F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL That memory is on the Asus approved list. -Funk

Need a suggestion for 8GB (2x4) for this board. I picked up some Corsair Vengence (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9) and this damn thing will not POST. I get the red LED on the memory test. Tried all the memory slots and different configs of memory. 1 slot, 2 slots, single stick, two sticks etc. New build...

Thanks guys, I just got more money in my wallet with the advice. -Flake

I have read a few discussions on this and I still don’t think I have a clear answer. In my situation, what real world benefits would I see going from a Q9550 clocked at 3.6 to a 2500k? I am wondering if the Q9550 is bottlenecking my GTX460 1GB @ 900/2000, 1920x1200. with as much eye candy...

How do I pass SelectedIndex to the second array? That is what I am confused about. -Funk

SelectedIndex or SelectedItem?

I have two arrays name() and age(). I am using a DO WHILE loop to populate the two arrays. After the arrays are populated I am using a combo box to select name() and need to pass the () on to the age variable but I am not sure how to do that. When I select an item in the combo box I know...

Yeah, might want to rethink that MB warranty. Just sayin........ -Flake

Motherboard is a GA-MA790X-UD4P.

UPDATE: I swapped in known good memory and still no go

So I get a text from my nephew tonight stating his PC "won't boot and there is nothing on the screen" First thought was VC, but I put the VC from his machine in mine and it booted just fine. CPU fan is spinning. I unplugged the HDD and CD ROM drive no change. The only things attached...

I am in the same boat, but I have a GTX 460. I am leaning toward Yes, but input from others would be helpful. -Funk

The return policy IS 30 days. I returned a GTX470 last week that was 31 days out and I was refunded my money. The only question I was asked was "Why was I returning it"? My reply was "I found it cheaper elsewhere". No hassles, no issues for me. -Flake

Not quite. The FTW I have in my rig right now is 910/2100 stable. -Flake

No, because he has not provided any evidence to support his claim that ANY 460 can OC to the FTW specs and then some. He if was insulted sorry, but there are so many people who claim this or that and don't provide proof of the claims. I have been working over an EVGA 470 and 460 FTW the last...

Trolls like you are annoying. -Flake

I too went with the EVGA GTX460 FTW @ $219. It overclocks to 900/2100 solid and is very close to the GTX470 in performance without the heat and noise. I went with Nvidia over ATI simply because of the driver debacle recently and in the past. -Flake

My GTX 460 FTW and a Q9550 OC'ed to 3.4 and 8 gig, most eye candy turned all the way up @ 1920.x1200 is smooth as butter. -Flake

Wow you guys were quick on the draw. -Funk

Wow, that was lame. Back to the OP's topic. I have an EVGA 470 and yes, the fan spins up and is quite noisy. I have contemplated returning it for a 6870 but I am not all that comfortable with AMD drivers. Just this month they have had 3 hotfixes for the drivers. I do like the...

10% on the Egg where? Linkage to the MSI shipped for $205 please. -Funk

Meh -Flake

Thanks but I want modular. -Flake

Upgrade? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256035 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139002 -Flake

I didn't go cheap. I have had the PS for 3 years and it was an excellent PS back in the day. Perhaps not state of the art in todays world but it has served me well. -Flake

Couple HDD's, Q9550 OC'ed to 3.4, 6 case fans, DVD burner. I agree it's probably running real close with that PS. -Funk

I don't want to be in this world. Is the power supply the weak link? It's a Corsair HX520. -Flake

Speaking of OCCT when I ran the damn thing my UPS alarm went off. Pulling to much voltage I would assume. -Flake

I am not gaming any higher than 1920 x 1200 and that resolution is what I have been benchmarking at. -Flake

Final results and and a question for the crew EVGA GTX 460 SC @ 850/2000 Vantage = 8309 Heaven = 39/987 FC2 Ultra = 74/106/52 Metro 2033 High = 40/85/5 Metro 2033 Very = 27/73/6 FFIV High = 3058 EVGA GTX 470 @ 800/1700 Vantage = 9594 Heaven = 50/1263 FC2 Ultra = 79/128/56...

Building it toward gaming. GPU is a GTX 470. Trying to get a decent set of 8GB for the best price. -Flake

This was a very enlightening thread and it makes me want to pull my Q9550 out of it's 775 socket and give it a BIG hug as I was contemplating the jump to an i5 platform. -Flake

Building a new rig and I am going with the MSI P55-GD80 and an i5 760 but am not sure what speed of memory to buy. I like the reviews on the Ripjaws memory from G.Skill and have used their memory in the past with great success. I was leaning toward this...

Wow, can you give us some specs on your rig? CPU, MB etc? -Flake

You just enter a number under the Core Voltage (mV) setting, hit Enter and then click Apply. Nothing else to fuss with. Make sure your Fan Speed is set to Auto. For voltage I entered 1087 hit enter and then clicked apply. -Flake

Thanks. I was hoping that the PS would explain the numbers in this post. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1558029 -Funk

Gonna hijack this thread a bit. I have the HX520 and a Q9550 as well but my question is will the performance of the GTX 470 be degraded due to the power supply? The 9550 is overclocked to 3.4 and the GTX 470 is overclocked to 800 core. -Flake
