Yesterday I got a chance to test the overlcock potential of my newly built SP35P2 system.
Conroe E6750 @ 3.8Ghz (voltage set to auto in the bios)
OCZ Platnium DDRII 800 @ 950 CL4 (voltage set to 2.275 in the bios)

Seagate 320GB
XFX Geforce 8800 GTX XXX Edition (670mhz...
2 weeks ago I built the following system:
Conroe E6700 (ES)
Asus P5W DH Deluxe (Quality Stuff)
2GB Corsair PC6400C3
XFX Geforce 7950GX2 XXX Edtion
Creative SB X-FI Fatality Edition
Dell 24" Wide Screen LCD
The tests results that I am going to post are from early testing only...
I just setup my Asus P5W DH Deluxe and Conroe E6700 (ES) B1 Stepping.
The system won't boot up.
I am wondering if it is my XFX Geforce 7950GX2 XXX Edition causing the problem or does the motherboard bios not detect an ES E6700?
Any thoughts or suggestions that can help me boot up the...
Yesterday I tested the AM2 X2 4800+(ES) @ 2.81Ghz and Geforce 7950GX2 Quad SLI.
The AM2 x2 4800+ is a very early engineering sample. It is not a good overclocker. My AM2 3800+ @ 2.97Ghz (Stable) is a better one but I lent it to a local hardware reviewer who lent me a Geforce 7950GX2 and...
I managed to get another Geforce 7950GX2 card go pair up with my XFX Geforce 7950GX2 XXX Edition. At first I thought that it may not work since one is a factory overclocked card while the other is an the Nvidia reference card.
Anyway, both worked just fine but I am not sure what clock speeds...
Is Quad SLI stable or buggy for everyday gaming?
What is your opinion?
Is it annoying and is better to wait a month for quad sli driver?
Waiting a month will be pointless if G80 releases in September.
I already have one XFX Geforce 7950 GX2 XXX Edition. I had a second card which I sold as soon as the Quad SLI drivers were delayed. I now can find a second hand XFX Geforce 7950 GX2 for about $500. I am wondering if I should get it and give Quad SLI a try or forget it?
I have a Dell 24"...
We have seen alot of leaked drivers for Nvidia's cards. When do you think the Quad SLI drivers will be leaked?
2 weeks, 3 weeks or 4 weeks from today? :D
Do you think the leaked drivers will provide an improvement over current drivers for Quad SLI?
The sales of our local XFX distributor informed me that he got news from Computex that the drivers will be ready within a month. May be end of June or early July.
So we just have to wait for a month. I told the sales that once he gets news that the drivers are ready, just send me a second card.
I have a Dell 24" LCD Monitor.
I had 2 Geforce 7950 GX2 Cards but sold one right away once Nvidia claimed that drivers are not ready. I will buy it again no doubt when the drivers are ready and stable for gaming. Not just 3DMark!!!
The only doubt I have is if it will be worth running...
I knew it.

So glad I sold my second unopened Geforce 7950GX2 card last night and got my money back right away.
No point holding on to something and waiting a month for working drivers.
check out the review.

I got my second card and sold it right after reading the review. Basically got my money back.
I have the Asus M2n32 SLI Deluxe

Is it a good one?
Any comments?
I used to use Asus A8N32 SLi earlier this year with Hitachi SATA2 hard disk (Drive C) and Seagate SATA drive (Drive D) and I could use Norton Ghost 2003 to ghost up my Drive C to my Drive D.
I used to use a bootable floppy and it used to boot up ghost in dos and then I used to ghost up my...
I thought that the AM2 CPUs are delayed until June but now I read somewhere that the AM2 motherboards will reelase in late April.
So what is the actual release date for AM2?
Here are some results for the popular game called "FEAR". All game settings set to maximum quality with 4x FSAA and 16x Anisotropic Filtering and Shadows enabled at 1600 x 1200.

I just did a fresh install of Windows for my Asus A8N32-SLI system.
I had a Norton Ghost boot disk from my previous system.
I have 2 hard disks (Drive C and Drive D).
I want to create a Ghost image of my Drive C and save it in my Drive D.
I booted up the system using the Norton Ghost...
The ones that came with the card. Mine came with 83.xx. I forgot.
There is a new one now at Guru3d.com
version 84.20.
Is 84.20 official of beta?
Which version are you guys using?
I just installed the Athlon FX-60 and it seems that the Asus A8N32-SLI is overvolting it by default.
In the bios the Voltage reading when set at Auto for CPU voltage is 1.39V. I want to manually set the voltage lower to make the pefect Voltage reading.
So what is the default voltage for...
I have the Intel Pentium D 955XE (ES) for sale.
It comes in a White Box and Intel heatsink.
I have tested it to run at 4.7Ghz air cooled.

What do you guys think?
I want to use it for my Pentium D 955XE and X1900XT Crossfire setup.
I have currently overclocked my Pentium D 955XE to 4.71Ghz (Air cooled) at 1.45V.
http://premium1.uploadit.org/ManojM//4.71Ghz.JPG
The CPU temp after benchmarks reads 50 degrees C.
I am not sure about the Pentium D 955XE but with my Opteron 170 overclocked to 3ghz (1.55V), the CPu temp...

I heard we can increase the fan speed of the X1900XT cards when overclocking? What program can adjust the fan speed?
Also when setup in Crossfire mode, does the program adjust the fan speed of both cards at the same time or only one card?
How about the clock speeds? What is the best...

Just wondering if X1900XT cards use 1.1ns memory like X1900XTX or a slower 1.2ns memory?
How about the X1900 Crossfire edition?
X1900 Crossfire Edition has the same clock speeds as X1900XT so whatever ram and chipset used in the X1900XT will be used with the X1900 Crossfire edition right...
Which is the best DDR II memory for overclocking with higher FSB?
Want high memory clocks and at reasonable latency.
Any suggestions?
Which brand and model is good?
I am planning on building a new system and am wondering if I should get 2 X1900XT cards or just get one X1900XTX card?
