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...

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.
Well Im stuck with a newegg refund, no patience, and no motherboard. Newegg just issued me a refund and I was planing on the DFi NF4 Dr Expert but its apparently sold out, so I went for the next best thing the new Asus NF4 x16 board, sold out as well an ungodly expensive. Anyone know what...
Just doing a little shopping and I notced that most of the major etailers are either out of with no due in date, or are carring "limited" stock on the MSI K8n Neo4 Plat Sli. Msi have a reivison up thier sleeve?
I was reading the anandtech review on the new DFI Expert board and I was wondering how they fixed a corrupted bios? In fact I had no idea an overclock could corrupt your bios. So in light of this, how does one go about fixing a corrupted bios? Anyone know if you can actually order a replacement...
I know this is out of place, but I'm too impatient to get the answer from newegg themselves. Does newegg send out refurbed items for an rma replacement?
Hey Everyone.. Its been a while since I've posted, I've been under the loom of the mighty penguin, and trying to get that slippery bastard optimized.. friggin *nix. Anyway, in my sheer desperation to get my sata II drive working properly, (It would only detect as a sata I drive), I reinstalled...
So I left my sytem on overnight and when I woke up MBM reported a cpu temp of -33c. I though it was possibley a MBM bug so I rebooted into bios, K8n Neo4 Plat SLI, and checked under pc health and bios reported the chip at 222c It also locked up the bios. Anyone have any ideas? The temp sensor is...
Hey camp...
What type of preformance hit can I expect in running a divider on an A64 system. My ram is maxing out at 260mhz... Which would be better rasing timings to cas 3.0 8 4 4 or running the divider?

Just curious if this is a normal temp for the Nv5 Silencer on a 6800GT ocd to 400/1100
Normal: 60-61c load 72-73 load. I am using the included tim, does it sound like to thick of a coating? Also using the latest forceware drivers. I have nanothermpcm but it seems that thier is such poor contact...
Went to install the NvSilencer 5 the other night.. Got it all together and noticed my temps where way out of wack. Reinstalled using AC5 and temps where still high, anyway during the second install a small bit of metal blew out of the Silencer and bridged a connection on the a55 end of the card...
Hey Everyone..

I am using a pair of IDE drives set to raid 0, both on a seperate IDE channel.. When looking under Nvtune I noticed that Ide master channels are set to PIO rather than UDMA. Is this normal for a raid config?

When I start to push my system too far I keep getting screen resets. The monitor will click off and then turn back on. I checked to make sure my PCIE was locked and it was. Is this a normal side effect...
Hey guys..
Just wanted to get the word out that this PQI Turbo memory from newegg is some pretty great stuff.. I got the 3700 sticks 2.5 7 2 2 1t and have already pushed them almost 100mhz past stock at 2.75 volts and stock timings.
I have an MSI K8N Neo 4 Sli Plat and I need something better than stock cooling. I can use the Xp-120 but I will lose access to my first dimm slot with that installed.. Not a huge sacrafice because I can always put the sticks in banks 3 and 4. Or I can get the Zalman or XP-90 and lose no dimm...

Zipzoomfly.com Sux and I hate them and if I lived anywhere near california I think I would beat the lot of them sensless with nerf bats. After sending me a defective video card and ordering another one they took 6 days to ship 6 DAYS!!!! and this was after I spent an...
Hey all.. I just built a complete system from scratch and Ive been having issues with the following errors. 0x???????? 0x?????? so and so must be closed the memory could not be read. That would lead me to think I have bad memory sticks but they seem to pass memtest86. Is the mobo possibley bad...
Just looking for a few opinions. My EVGA Geforce 6800gt seems to be acting up. Its new and whenever I try to Play Far Cry at 1600 x 1200 the game just drops me back to the desktop. Trying to play HL2 results in a reset. It does run 3dmark 05 just fine though and scores are on par with other...
I dont know If I got a crap board or if this series of mobos needs a serious bios upgrade. Anyway here goes.. I can not get this board to oc past 33mhz and Im using an AMD 3200 with PQI 3700 DDR sticks. Also, I do not use the sata on my board.. Still have a pair of ide's set in raid so naturally...
Just looking for a few opinions. I have been having strange things happining with my new Neo and I was wonderging if anyone else is having similar problems. First off.... My Microphone seems to un-mute itself at strange times.. Software glitch? Maybe.. But it happens at random. Also, to anyone...
Anyone else here having issues with ultra slow raid access on the IDE bus? This is my first raid and I think I have it set right. 2 40gb Maxtors at 133mhz.. Both on the same cable set master and raid. It just seems loading takes forever... Is it better to have them on seperate cables?
I htink I know the answer to this question but do vid cards need to be matched when doing sli? Can you use different cards alltogether.. ie 6800ultra and a 6800gt? Dot eh cards need to be from the same manufacturer? Ie Leadtek 6800 with a leadtek 6800?
