So I'm piecing together a 5.1 system and I believe next up should be the sub.
Reciever:
YAMAHA RX-V373BL
Fronts:
Polk Audio Monitor 60
I was looking at Polk Audio CS1 Series II for a center, not sure on rears. I have some old Sony SS-MF315 floorspeakers (6 1/2" HOP Woofer, 3"...
I didn't see any benefit for me unless your going for a big OC (higher multiplier) so I went witth the i7 930. Hoping the LGA 1336 socket will allow for me to upgrade to a faster processor in a year or two without having to buy a new motherboard.
Good info about the voltages. I'm hoping to dive into a light overclock on my i7 930 pretty soon. I got the board setup last week and setup my Raid 5 this weekend.
Won't be overclocking much as I'm still on the intel heatsink and I think I'm stretching the limits of my PSU (750W OCZ w/ 4...
Upgraded my Q9550 to a i7 with this board last week. Seems to be a pretty good board. My only complaints are things I knew about before purchasing (No PATA, Only 1 PCI slot which is unusable if you are running a big graphics card in the top slot)
Up for sale is:
Sony Playstation 2
Power Cord, A/V Cord
Controller
8MB Memory Card
Gran Turismo 4
Gran Turismo 3
Also including spare A/V cord and a Logitech Driving Force steering wheel w/ pedals.
Everything is Used but in good working condition.
$120 shipped
I just got back from vacation and my computer isn't showing any signs of power.
I checked:
-switch (my DFI has a switch on it)
-psu is on
-tried dif cord/outlet.
my guess so far is psu... i'm going to ask my dad if he has a 480-500W to power my AMD 64
well my light isn't coming...
How good would this be for gaming? If I can only run a game in 1024x768 is there a lower resolution that I could run for it?
Comp Specs are in sig. I play BF2, CoD2, NFS MW, CS Source, DoD Source.
Would be upgrading from a 17" KDS Flatscreen (not panel) CRT.
It works fine... It should last a long time. I haven't noticed a huge difference in performance but I like getting the best bang for my buck.
FWIW, I bought it when it FIRST came out, eVGA had a sale. Free CoD2 w/ 6800GS Purchase so really I only paid $149 for it. I upgraded from a 6600 GT...
I have the 6800 GS. I've been running 500 core, 1200 memory
I've had it for 2 months. It handles BF2 and NFS Most Wanted quite well. I can run NFS Most Wanted Full Settings.
DFI nF4 Ultra-D
AMD 64 3800+ (@ 2.4ghz, stock)
2x512 DDR 400 OCZ EL Gold
6800 GS
If you serriously want to know let me get back to you on that. Not gonna play tonight but I'll probably play tom night.
Sure, why not... Seems you have a lot of the same games as me
Its a nice card, I jumped on it for $199 + ship w/ free CoD 2 when it first came out.
Overclocking is decent I guess, I have mine at 500 / 1100 with no problems.
Temperature is 45* with ~5 firefox tabs on, firefox, aim,xfire,steam, etc.
tried runnin memtest, would lockup ~40-50%
ordered OCZ EL GOLD DDR400 (gig)
ordered GA K8N Pro SLI
started RMA on DFI nF4 Ultra-D
not sure if i will risk my new RAM by tryin it in my DFI.... scared the DFI fried my ram but it could be my fault.
i just want to get my fucking gaming pc...
well that still doesn't explain it being unstable with only one stick... maybe ill try slots 2 and 4 then up the voltage... after that im going to probably order a gig of OCZ EL DDR400 and if that don't help im RMAin the mobo and maybe the vid card... I'll go with a MSI Neo4 or AS
US maybe.
if the link isn't working goto newegg.com and type "OCZ Premier Value" I have the 2x512 for about 80 bucks.
I took my RAM over to my brothers and we put it in I think bios detected it at 160mhz??!?1 but it ran FEAR single player demo fine and whatnot.
I've also tried runnin my computer...
I just purchased the DFI nF4Ultra-D. I hooked it up but was having issues with the reformat... Decided my "no name" 400w 20pin w/ 24 converter power supply wasn't gettin it enough juice. So I ordered the Antec Sonata II w/ 450w Antec PSU.
Now it has reformatted and I am posting from it now...
