    Xtrememusic VS Asus DSX/DGX

    Would I be gaining anything by upgrading from an Xtrememusic to the DSX or DGX? I know I'd lose EAX support, which is fine because I don't play anything that uses that anyways. My stereo L/R out port on my Xtrememusic broke a long time ago so I had to solder a headphone cord directly onto the...

    Motorola Droid for 49.99

    The droid's processor is nowhere near the N1's snapdragon, at least according to Ars: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/reviews/2010/01/nexus-one-review.ars/4 However it would be interested to see OC numbers, even though your battery life would be terrible with a 70% OC. I remember I had an app...

    FREE Overnight on Bad Company 2 at Gamestop

    The 'online orders only' - does that mean digital download version only, or any order online? I know in-store pickup doesn't qualify. The page says we should receive download instructions sometime today.

    I wonder how this will run on a 9800GT. 7800GT are minimum specs so hopefully it will look decent. I'm excited to get into the beta to get away from CoD:LagFail

    Blu RAY player freezes in XP!

    Well after more troubleshooting, standard DVDs and Blurays will work. That particular movie I was trying to watch still will not. I'm not sure if its that disc or if the drive is working for the moment. Try out another disc or DVD in there.

    Blu RAY player freezes in XP!

    I have the same drive. Mine worked fine in win7 for about 15 movies and just recently it has started the same thing. It either doesn't recognize a disc (DVD or BR) is in the tray, or my PC becomes sluggish until I eject it out. Eject the tray and your PC will again become responsive. I spent...

    Onboard Realtek ALC888 vs. X-Fi XtremeMusic PCI

    IMO they both sound the same, UNTIL you start to mess with some of the post processing capabilities of the XFi. Turn up the crystalizer, positional audio settings, bass crossover for your particular setup, and the EQ and someone who has never listened to music before can easily distinguish the...

    GPU driven upconversion

    I took advantage of today's woot so I can backup a bunch of old VHS tapes that are going to be worthless eventually. I was wanting to try and see what I could do with upping their resolution a bit to try and add some quality to them. Since I have a ton of VHS tapes, I'd like to use my GPU...

    X-Fi 3.5mm Jack Pinouts

    Anyone know if the aux front panel connector for headphones has the same sound source as the rear L/R channels? http://img482.imageshack.us/img482/3968/xfifpmodbq5.jpg

    X-Fi 3.5mm Jack Pinouts

    Does anyone know which pinout is which on the back side of the X-FI? One of my 3.5mm jacks only works when you mess with the cable so I'm going to solder a new wire/jack onto the back of the board. Each jack has 9 connectors going to it from the board. I only need the standard ground/L/R channel...

    HD issues post bios update

    I updated my MSI 790fx-gd70 to the latest bios. Win 7 would throw out all kinds of BSOD errors when I booted and I localized that as being my X-Fi. I took that out and booted successfully. I went to do some program updates, namely iTunes and 7zip, and every time I try to launch the installer...

    Need help installing 5850 on Windows 7

    I had some similar issues with a 5770 earlier. I've had my 9800gt for physx and I've had to switch back to using it as my main display. In games the driver hangs up every 10 seconds or so. On the desktop it will hang up for quite a while. I think its a driver issue.

    Yea that's what I'm confused about. It would work on my asus board when it wasn't on auto. I'm wondering if I have some other setting off.

    Dynamic Multiplier in OS

    I had an Asus m4a78t-e motherboard a few weeks ago and I now have a gigabyte UD3H board. With the asus board, I could change the multiplier in the bios and win7 would decrease it down to something around 8 on idle. With this gigabyte board, if the multiplier is changed, it stays there. Power...

    MA790GPT-UD3H Fan control

    Anyone know how to slow down fan speeds? I enabled the setting in the bios but there isn't any difference with it on vs off. AMD overdrive only lets me change one fan speed, and that doesn't do anything either. The fans are plugged into the motherboard obviously. I'm guessing its a BIOS screw up?

    Artifact While Gaming

    I swapped out individual sticks of ram and I think one stick may be bad. One stick runs 3dmark/prime95 fine, the other comes out with the gremlins after a short time. The last set of RAM I had did this same thing. I would imagine the chances are low that I have two sets of bad RAM in a row. If...

    I tried those settings this morning. Unfortunately Im the only person I know that has DDR three. I think Im going to try and RMA my cpu. If that doesnt work I guess I will resort to a nervous breakdown or pitch it off the roof. jk Posted via [H] Mobile Device

    Artifact While Gaming

    Its at 35C according to coretemp after running prime95 for about 30mins. Its odd because the CPU intensive test will run all day, but the large FFT test usually has one core spit out an error and stop in < 5 mins. I did unlock the 4th core with ACC just for the heck of it for about 30 mins. Is...

    Artifact While Gaming

    CPU is running at 1.3V (I increased it a bit to test). I thought the NB was the problem too so I picked up the Gigabyte board but it does the same issue. I increased the voltage by a tick on the NB/SB but that didn't help either.

    Artifact While Gaming

    I've been trying to figure this out for months. After 5-30 minutes of gaming (9800GT), my screen starts to throw artifacts all over, drops to 1-4fps, and either the display driver stops and windows recovers or blue screens w/ an error pointing to the display driver. Normal desktop computing...

    Texture Problems

    Ok So I switched cards out with my roomate. His is the same as mine and I'm still having the issues. There is no OC of the card/ram/CPU. Anyone have any idea? I tried the latest 191 drivers today as well.

    Texture Problems

    Yeah I cleaned out the fan a few weeks ago. I underclocked the memory and it still did the same earlier today. I just got the card about 10 months ago. I'm trying to figure out if it is the card or a driver issue or something else. eVGA has lifetime warranty thankfully so I'm covered there. The...
