Just got word that I will be recieving my Q9550 soon and I am wanting some opinions on cooling. I have been leaning towards the tuniq tower, but am a little worried of the size and weight. I am looking for best temps possible without water cooling and maintaining a decent sound level. Opinions...

The SATA controller may be disabled in the BIOS.

If you are concerned, you can check the voltages in your bios, but the fact that it works for what you have means it is fine.

Small variances are normal in multi-core processors. An answer to your other question, those temps are great. I overclocked my e2200 with stock cooling when idel temps were 35C, so you will be fine.

Have you tired the asus software? You could also use sandra or go into the bios and check it under PC health.

I would try putting it in a different PCIe slot. If you are only running one card on an SLI board, there is usually a certain slot you are suppose to use.

List of supported processors for P5AD2-E Premium. My best advice for you would be to buy a P35 or x38/48 board, since according to the list, you are fairly limited. Then it is up to you whether you want the q9450 or the q6600. I personally would go with the newer 45nm technology, but people love...

When you say did not see the disc, are you referring to the driver disc or the hard drives? Also, when you press F6, is that suppose to take you into the nvidia raid setup utility? Make sure to look into details in the motherboard manual to insure it isn't just a little mistake, motherboards can...

I am no expert on Intel chipsets (just bought the one I have), but I would not expect much cooler temps in a mid-tower case. I would just make sure you have the best airflow possible by tying up any lose wires and tucking them away and making sure there is good airflow over the board. If you...

Hey, thanks for the input. I figured out the problem was intel boards wont allow the RAM to FSB ratio to go over 2:1. Since the FSB on my processor is 800MHz, my DRAM frequency cannot exceed 401 MHz. This will all be fixed when I get my new processor though, thankfully. I do have one question...

Are you using the optional fan? Also, what kind of case is it in? Since that is a passive heat sink, it relies on good airflow over the board. Just some things to check.

First I would try to find a speaker to hook up, beep codes should let you know whether it is the processor or not. Try using a speaker from an older computer, if you can't find a computer speaker, you can use any smaller speaker and just hold the wires to the correct pins on the front panel...

I am having trouble getting my motherboard and ram to work correctly together. My ram is DDR3- 1333, but it is only running at DDR3- 800. The reason why I am posting this in here and not the Memory area is because my bios does not even give me the option to choose anything higher than DDR3-800...

Update I flashed to the latest bios, but it didn't help. I am wondering if somehow the DRAM frequency is being locked to the FSB of my processor (800MHz). My last board had a way to unlock the DRAM from the FSB, but I am not as familiar with the way the way this cmos setup is configured and...

Okay, cpuz says my DRAM frequency is 401.3, and it also has my CPU multiplier down to 6, and I don't have the powersaver function turned on. When I went in to the bios, I noticed it was the same. I tried to change it to what it was suppose to be, but everytime I saved and exited I kept getting...

Ran sandra and got 3,28 GB/s. There has to be something wrong, what do you think?

I just built my new computer and I noticed after running the "windows experience index" thing, I noticed that my memory calculations per second score is lower that what I was getting with my old DDR400 memory. I was scoring a 5.9 with DDR and with this kit of OCZ Platinum DDR3 I am scoring a...

That is an awesome set up! I am assuming you mounted your hard drives in the 5.25" bays? did you buy a HDD cage seperatly, or are you using something that came with the case? EDIT: Nevermind, I see up above, where did you purchase that?

I am in the market for a full tower case and I need opinions. I currently am leaning towards the cm830, but I don't want to spend 260 bucks without other input. Since I do not plan on installing all 4 fans on the door and both side vents are fairly large and open, I am worried about the case...

There isn't any difference between the evga and xfx bios?

WIth all this crap and problems with data corruption, I decided I would ship this back on monday. I am thinking about maybe getting this board. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128330. What do you think? I need a DDR3 motherboard and something that will support the...

It happens frequently, but only when I am actually doing something. In other words, I could let the computer idle for a day without an error. I am also ready to send this back and get an intel chipset board.

Yeah, I have it set at 1.8, which is what the ram is specified to run at.

Yes, 1st and 3rd slot, banks 0 & 1. I have also tried taking out one stick for a while because I know there have been issues running 4GB and I just wanted to make sure that wasn't the problem.

It has locked without a bluescreen and there is no way out of it other than to restart.

I just built my new computer, specs in sig, and I have been getting quite a few errors. All the errors seemed to deal with memory, but my memory passed memtest without any errors. In a different thread the someone thought that it was most likely my video card (9800GTX). I decided to take the...

Aero is not enabled. I am going to try taking that card out and throwing my 7800GT in there and seeing if I still get the same issues.

Even if it works with the adapter until I install the driver? any way to test the card other than the current errors?

I just built a new computer, specs in my sig, and i have had so many issues I am ready to go back to my 3 year old 4000+ and 7800GT. My first problem was that my video card will not work correctly with my 28" LCD monitor, after installing the video card drivers the image was larger than the...

Haha, yeah. There is only like a .5 mm gap between my card and my hard drive cage. Pay no attention to the cables everywhere.. That is an old picture from before I even had it completely built. It is much cleaner now.

I love mine, great in all the games I play. I don't play crysis though, so I can't give you any input there. The onlything I don't like about it is the drivers aren't that great. Right now I have to have my 28inch monitor hooked up through VGA because the drivers have an issue with DVI to HDMI...

specs in sig, decided since I was going to post it anyway I would update go ahead and post them in there

I am running two different temp monitors for my processor and they don't match. I basically just want to know which one to believe. The nvidia system monitor is reading 49 degrees and Core Temp is reading 34. thanks.

I found out that the drivers for the 9800gtx have problems with dvi to hdmi adapters sometimes. I hooked it up through VGA and it works fine. Hopefully it iwll be fixed soon so I can go back to HDMI. Thanks for all the help. Robin.

I uninstalled the drivers, ran driver cleaner, reinstalled and still doesn't work. I have found other cases like this on the internet, but I can't find any solution.

No luck on triggering an auto image adjust, and when displaying HDMI it doesn't allow manual image size adjustment either. I also have been inside and out of the nvidia control panel and cannot find anything that resembles signal update rate or alternate pixel center. I will continue to search...

I tried booting to safe mode and changing the resolution, but it did not help. I am running 1920x1200 and don't have a problem changing that resolution, but it just doesn't all fit on the screen. When running safe mode everything fit on the screen fine. I know it is not an issue with the...

I just installed vista 64 on my new computer. After installing the video card driver and restarting the image is larger than the screen. It is almost like when you try to run too high of a resolution on a TV, only it doesn't let the image scroll. My task bar is completely off the screen, along...

Make sure you clean off the paste that is on there before you apply more. You can do this with thermal paste remover used with some type of surface purifier, or just use rubbing alchol (80% and up). It is also good practice to not remove the heatsink once the thermal compound has been applied...

mullet, looks great. I am curious though. Is there another place to mount the PSU at the top of the case? I thought the PC-A70B only mounted in the bottom. If so, did it come with a mount for that fan you have on the bottom, or did you rig that yourself. I'd be interested to see more pictures if...
