It counts! If I could find an image of the guts of a Pong board I might be able to one up you :P

The Trident 8900 ISA SVGA. Side note: My Father and older brother colluded to switch it with an EGA card he (older brother) had in his comp assuming I wouldn't notice the difference at 12 years old. Busted! Yes. I'm old.

Marginally more memory on the 8800gts and pretty much a wash on horsepower. IMO it comes down to drivers which usually favors NV.

I get what you are saying, and I think you understand what I'm saying as well but just to clarify: the fans on the radiator should be of the static pressure variety vs airflow (chassis) variety. Typically significantly higher amp draw as well.

Those 120mm fans on the radiator are not the ones the 9590 shipped with, no? What are those red-led Apevia fans that are installed rated for? Case fans are not a suitable replacement. Some additional help setting up the the uefi and more, if you haven'y already seen it, can be found here

A friend and fellow [H]forum member dropped by today to help me with this issue. After digging through the bios for a while, swapping ram, etc he was convinced that it was NOT a bios setting or OS issue, it was hardware. Before any RMA action he wanted to take a look at the CPU pins, since...

Thanks for sharing this Johan45. While it seems that some people have been able to coax the 8350 types to run 2400 ram I agree that it looks like a pita no matter what. 2133 seems reasonable with the right settings/combo, even if its not officially supported. Honestly at this point I would be...

I've reviewed the memory setup/bios/8350 etc stickies in the CVFZ section of the ROG forums here . However, even after trying all of these changes I can't get dual channel at even at the lowest ram speeds, so the memory controller would have to be more than not good, it would have to be very...

Thanks for your input Raja. I've tried stepping up the 'secondary' timings in unison from 1 through 5 clocks over what is defaulted for each setting. Since what those timings actually do is completely beyond me, this is about the limit of my capabilities. If you think relaxing them further might...

508b, no change. I should add that throughout this process windows does show 16gb installed, but 8gb are "hardware reserved" when attempting to run dual channel. Vacation time in 2 weeks so I'm going to keep trying anything I can, then rma...although my suspicion is that, all things being...

I've talked to ASUS support, they were surprisingly helpful and asked all the right questions. Unfortunately in the end, they could only recommend RMA. I've tried bios versions 1503, 1602, 1901 and 2002. I will try 508b. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried under and over those timings and voltages as well as everything in between on three different ram kits. I have all of the bs CnQ, HPC, APM, turbo core, etc off... believe me it was the first thing I did. I'm still not convinced that this is defective...

I have tried loosening all the timings, from 10-13-13-33 (the loosest xmp profile) to as slow as 12-15-15-36, and everything in-between. The other two ddr3 kits I tried were a corsair xms 1600 2x2GB and a crucial ballistix 2X4GB 1866 kit. While neither were on the qvl either, I'm still fairly...

They are intel XMP. However, many have managed to get 2133 on the memory to run dual channel, even though its not officially supported on the FX line. I have tried the DOCP and manually even looser timings at as low as 1333 and on up. No dice. I've upped the CPU/NB from the default 1.1 up to as...

Cannot get 2x8 trident to run dual channel Crosshair V Formula Z (2002 bios 3/19/14) Win7-64 G.Skill Trident F3-2400 2x8gb FX-9370 I think have tried every solution I could find previously posted in the forums. Windows will only recognize one stick -8GB (the other as "hardware reserved")...

Hynix in my HIS card, at a disappointing 1350.

I have those same Onkyo 6.1 speakers...great value! Was there something in the foreground? :p

I guess maybe I should clarify. The second monitor is set up as an expanded/mirrored multiple display, this is how I received the error messages. They both work fine via DVI/HDMI, single or dual, just not when one is connected via DisplayPort, Other than the fact that its a $550 dollar card...

Yes, I put my old 560ti back in and the DP works with the same cable and screen.

My new HIS 290x reference video card does not output video via the DisplayPort, but it does output audio over the built in speakers on my Asus VG248. Here is a cut and paste from my support ticket I thought I would run past you all: DisplayPort does not output video, but does output audio...

That seens to be a great utility DonDon, and it looks like it does just about everything...but there might be a little too much complexity for my father. Is the "simple" mode really simple? ie one touch backup?

Also, what backup program would you recommend? I would like to put something like Acronis on, that would allow him to one touch backup his data and outlook, itunes, etc, then disconnect the drive until its time to backup again.

DonDon, Spinrite was exactly what I needed, since it allowed me to make a boot disk to the utility. It recognized the drives and attempted to fix them. Unfortunately it wasn't able to save the HDs as they both gave out completely during the recovery process (Spinrite warned that they might not...

Thanks fugu, I'll give that a try.

pug71, although your exquisitely crafted one line reply is infinitely helpful with my problem, do you have any other suggestions on how to restore the data? DonDon, I did plug both of the drives separately into a machine with a working boot drive, this is where I got the delayed write errors...

Any help would be much appreciated! I'm not very familiar with raid setups but heres whats going on: An old friend of mine set up a raid 1 mirror with two Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD4000KD 400GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s Hard Drives with a DFI RS482 INFINITY 939 ATI Radeon Xpress...

Well, picked up a PCP Silencer 610 (surely capable of running this card) and am still getting massive artifacting after a few minutes of stress. The card? I think so...The mobo or PSU, doubtfull...regardless, after having enough time consuming headaches with RMA, I've decided to bite the bullet...

Well, although the True 430 posted (unlike the Neo 430 HE), it doesnt appear to be up to the task of supporting the 1950 at full tilt. Guess I'm off to get another PSU.

Good point. I thought the Neo430 would be the better of the two also. I certainly like the modular cable design, but it wont even post... My old second-hand True 430 seems to be working, well see how it handles some stress.

So you think I would be better off with my old Antec True 430 (26a/+12v single rail) or a Antec Neo430 HE (still in the box) claiming 16a at both +12v. single optical and HD, not much other draw, just 2 silent 1200rpm 120mm case fans, and passive watercooling. I wouldnt mind just returning...

The zal would definitely be quieter, but I wouldnt expect any greater overclock (if you're planning on it) than with the stock cooler. My OC didnt increase on water any over the stock hsf on my 850xt, but the high pitched whine at 100% fanspeed was unbearable.

Liberate that opty from it's IHS. This dropped my venice 3200 temps 8*C idle and 12* load. HUGE difference. My IHS was most likely not entirely flat, I suppose yours may be and your problem may lie elsewhere, just something to think about if you dont mind taking a little risk removing it

Mines not a PE, just the plain XT, in AGP....clocks to 620core/640mem. Its watercooled but the same clocks were achieved with the stock air cooler...just quite a bit hotter (80-85 C) and louder. Ive heard of other people reaching similar clock numbers, but I think its in the above-average range...

Push was louder on mine. Temps were the same as near as I could tell.

Your rig? You mean that tetanus-machine? You must 'cause thats all you got over at your place, and I got a smokin' media center laptop with lots of extra "shopping" buttons that will pwnalz0r-er that things superpi :D

Oh, I forgot to mention that the comps are set up in a basement, of sorts, with god knows what kind of electrical cabling running along the walls outside the house beneath the ground. Since this is seeming like a more likely candidate than I originally thought, I might look into what is there...

I've tried different outlets (3 different circuits in the house) with the same results. I'm really not all that enthusiastic about about carrying a 21" trinitron to another house, im recovering from a broken leg. I might try an extension cord and setup shop on my patio table outside for an...

Since this thread got resurrected, I'm obliged to update the pics with the new case. Looks better, but somehow lost some "character" :p
