Yea I got so pissed with the zip after they told me my board may have been backordered but they are not sure (thier customer service leaves much to be desired) that I told them to go f*ck themselves and cancel my order. I recieved an order canceled email followed by an order shipped email the...

Sounds like your mobo bios info keeps getting wiped. Manually set the slave drive settings in bios and make sure your boot order is correct. Otherwise you may have a virus that keeps trashing your mbr.

I just recently got the p180 case but Im still waiting for the rest of my components. In any case, the hardware does come with the case and its included in a small toolbox attached to the middle hard drive cage, in the back. Just take out the thumbscrew and slide out the cage. As far as...

If you still have your dell case be prepared to do some modding. Most Dells use special connection blocks to simplfy the manufacturing process. The connectors for the power sw, led, hd led, front usb and audio are custom.

Yea I ordered mine early thursday morning and its been sitting at the "packed" stage since friday. Ive called twice and the dumb bitch who keeps picking up the phone cant stop chewing on her hair long enough to figure out what the f*ck is goin on with my board. First I was told it would hsip...

Jack Sorry At the time of the post the obard was in stock at zip zoom as that is where I ended up ordering mine. Zip zoom is great but thier time to process orders sux. I ordered my board last thursday and it still hasnt shipped on monday. Newegg on the other hand, I ordered an XFX 7800 gt this...

As long as you have your pin outs correct you should be fine. I would suggest actually removing the pins from your block connector, a safty pin would do the trick and buying the proper connectors for your board or buy wire butt connectors, strip your wires and crimp them together. Get some...

Im in the market for a new vid card. Namely a 7800 GT. I was looking at the xfx cards and I noticed two distinctly different models, but with the same cgpu and mem clocks. The black pcb version with the molex connector (one I personally like as it wont eat up two molex ports on my non sli 600w...

In shopping for a new vid card I noticed two dif versions of the xfx 7800 gt, One on a black pcb woth a standard molex power connector and oneon a green pcb woth a sli power connector. Whats the difference of these two? Clock and mem seem to be the same,

You should of rma'd it right back to newegg thier rma department rocks and they give you a full year warranty on most purchases. Infact you could probably try and rma that card back to them, worth a shot if its still under thier warranty. In the future stick with evga (my choice) or BFG

Are you new?

In all honesty 200mhz ram is perfect as thier is no bottleneck between the ram and cpu running at thier proper speeds. :) No when you start overclocking, thats a different story.

No the boards never came in, I contacted them via phone and the told me they made a mistake on thier eta and dont expect them until the 15th or so. Newegg has a bad habit of just forwarding thier eta 3days ahead of when they go out of stock and then forwarding it nother 3 days when the boards...

thank god that got cleared up, my head was spinning.

Again this limitation is provided by the chipset, ie Nforce4 as they provide the memory bus architecture.

Yea what the hell is going on? :confused: :confused:

Maybe this will help... AMD chips have the memory controller on chip, which operates at 1000Mhz, that is traditional FSB. However, data from the cpu to the memory (memory bus) is still only 400mhz (200mhz DDR), AMDs onchip memory controller only officially supports DDR400 as that is the...

If niether of your broke the board and your sure of that then offer him your board at half of its retail cost, or pay half the retail cost for his board. I dont believe you can hold hiim responsible for your memory, but most sticks have lifetime warranties, maybe you can cash in on that. Its a...

best oc board around now is the dfi nforce4 sli-dr expert or A8n32sli both boards retail at around $200. If you want sub 200$ ocing stick with the best dfi board you can buy.

Its actually AMD that doesnt support 1t at 4 full dimms. It would be hit or miss with mobos. I have heard some have success with 1t timing and 4 dims on the dfi expert board while others have failed, with the same memory.

Why would you need any type of AA at 1920x1200

Apparently you cant read.... High resolutions are exactly why we dont need x16 yet... The higher the resolution the LESS bandwidth they two cards need to communicate with each other... At high resolutions the cards render slowly, eating up very little bandwidth in relaying image data.

Yea they reported that little error long after I baught mine on thier recomendation, and what a pos it was.

That may be true but its not going to happen in the a8n32s lifetime. And again, cards only need the bandwidth if they are putting out massive fps. Believe it or not high res images average fps use less bandwidth then low res high fps situations. The reason for this is at each frame the cards...

those are normal temp loads on the chipset if your using passive cooling... There just run hot. Your vid cards are a little warm but if your not getting artifacts and your games dont crash its fine. I have the p180 case and installed the front 120mm intake fan and it cooled her down quite a bit...

I doubt that, x16 is only benificial in low res envioronments which cause a games fps to rise dramatically. Games played at a higher res and at around 60 to 80 fps show no real increase in preformance, theres just not enough information to saturate the bus at high res settings. But, I digress...

Whatever you do DONT get the msi board!!! otherwise the premium board is a good choice

fixed

I like the dfi much better then asus solution. The layout is much cleaner, the oc's are higher and theres isnt 4 pages long of issues with the board at dfi's site, unlike the asus board. The only shortcoming of the dfi board is the sil3134 chip in the southbridge instead of the 3132 chip. The...

www.ncix.com has them in stock for a modest price. They are based in canada, the unit shipped comes to about 230$ US if you want to delay your shipment a few days they will price match newegg.com just call and ask after you place your order

I was looking at these sticks and theyve been recomended before. I heard they are not the best overclockers but are a great value. Any idea what chips they use? samsung tccd? Think they can do 300mhz :D

Since Ill probably be waiting to 2006 to get my hands on m dfi nf4 sli-dr expert board I figured I should get some ram for the time being. Can somone recomend a good set of ddr 500 sticks in the 2 x 1gb variety, with room to overclock? Other then crucial balistix.

Anyone know of an etailer out there with the Dfi NF4 sli-dr expert in stock????

12v power for the cpu

I believe in time that ati will put out a great chipset.. Maybe good enought to force nvidia to raise thier eyebrows. Nvidias been on top too long and its time they got shook up and where forced to innovate, or at least fix thier drivers :). We all now that even the hugest lead can be crushed in...

Does the A8N32 even have an agp port??? In any case yes, your pci/agp bus must be locked, this is uasually done by disabling center spread spectrum, depending on your bios. Drop your HTT multiplier to 3 or 4 and start pushing the fsb till it wont go anymore. Run a ram divider if you must. Do a...
