Hey guys,
So I am considering getting that Acer slimline you all have seen at Best Buy...

And I am considering if the built in GeForce 8200 will be able to play 1080p movies SMOOTHLY...can anyone...
I'm using the Q6700, which has the 10x multiplier, hence teh 3.33 Ghz setting.
I had my E6600 @ 3.00 Ghz - 9 x 333, and kept all my settings from then when i put in the Q6700, and no dice.
All voltages were kept the same.
Below is my current setup, and I am considering what I should get that would provide the most bang for the buck - either going from 2 GB to 4 GB of RAM, or get the 8900/9 series when they are launched. Currently I only really play WoW atm, but i have played CoH with all the settings maxed out on...
Ok so I finally got a quad core for a really good price, and would like some advice on how to OC mine to a mild 3 Ghz. I previously had an E6600 Oc'd to 3 Ghz and it didn't take much. However for the C2Q I tried going to 3.3 and it just ran too hot. I tried going down to 3 Ghz, and it still...
Okay, so I have a pretty loaded computer, at least in my opinion. However, my 7900GTX is probably the oldest component in my system. Dont get me wrong, I love it in that it runs pretty much anything under the sun @ Max settings without struggling at all, and by anything I mean just WoW, BF2...
Hey everybody...
So my previous HZ twin sticks died on me, got them RMA'd... but forgot the damn BIOS OC settings!
I have a Core 2 Duo E6600 currently overclocked to 3Ghz by means of a 1.425 VCore, 2.10V Mem Voltage, and 3-3-3-9-4-42-3-11-7-13 timings @ DDR2 667 with the CPU's FSB being...
Has anyone here been able to successfully remove the hard drive out of a Western Digital Passport? I have had one for quite some time and it has become unusable. I believe the hard drive has failed, but would like to salvage the case or at least the SATA to USB interface. If anyone has any tips...
P180 vs P182
- Rear mounted controls for fan speeds for the top and rear fan
- Motherboard mounting panel has been raised and rectangular cutouts have been added for improved cabling and rounting
- Gun metal grey color vs the black/silver
- The plastic sliding mechanism and holes for cable...
Does anyone know if the faceplate is removeable on the cooler and if so how? My friend likes to make custom faceplates for his graphics cards (He's made them since the 6800s), and would like to know. If anyone can post a picture of the faceplate removed that would help too ;)
I have been trying for the past week now to find an external dual drive system that is either:
Holds 2 x SATA II -> FW/eSATA
Holds 2 x ATA -> FW
I want it to look nice in terms of asthetics and if it has a fan it needs to be QUIET. I have yet to find one that fits my needs. There is one...
I installed Vista Ultimate, and for some reason the drivers dont save my settings for Desktop Color! I have to literally re-enable Digital Vibrance Control *every* single time I restart!!!! Is this a bug or known issue? I have reinstalled 100.59 several times to no avail.
I had origionally posted this for people who do not use WMP11. I personally dont like WMP11. Dont get me wrong its great for certain people, just not me. With just the XviD codec installed, any video will play in WMP11 with Aero still enabled. I was trying to show people how to play XviD videos...
Just wanted to let everybody know, if there is no thread already, how to play XviD files after I spent about 10 minutes trying to figure it out -
the EASY way:
Download VLC Portable. It will automatically force Vista to go into Vista Basic so that you can play it. After you close VLC...
Does anyone know of a mATX Socket 775 mobo that has DVI? I can't for the life of me find one! I really dont understand how Intel touted that with the G965 chipset that has the X3000 graphics subsystem supports VGA, DVI, and HDMI when I have scoured the internet and have not found a single mATX...
I dont mean to pick a fight with you or anything, but like most of the people here are saying, seriously, your system is probably capable of running any game out there @ max settings without blinking. And, from what I've heard, your eyes can only see up to 60Hz (FPS), so what is the point? What...
F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ, listed @ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231065
It is perfectly fine with everything else. It's just the games.
Yes I did reinstall XP after changing the components
After playing BF2 for about 4 hours last night with everything on auto without...
I just built a new system (actually just replaced CPU, RAM, Mobo). However, I am having a few problems, and am unsure if they are memory related : (I bought 2 x 1 GB DDR2 800 G.Skill HZ's)
1.) When I got this pack, I noticed that the heatspreaders weren't really touching the memory chips. I'd...
That's the weird thing for me - when I used Memset to FIND the timings, it just reported what was in my BIOS already, and when I changed one of the values, it reflected accordingly in Memset o.0.. .maybe i just dont know how to use this program correctly, heh.
No problem, I'm an amateur OCer myself. @ 3Ghz mine runs at about 53-55C like I said earlier I think.... (at load). I did not try limiting the VCOre by setting it to 1.3V though. I probably will just wiat until I get my Antec Nine Hundred before I try again, which will be in about two weeks.
The only thing I can suggest then is trying to use Everest... it will give you more information about the timings on your RAM than the first four variables, although it wont give you all of them.
What I did is that I just went from the timings being set to AUTO to MANUAL... and use the built in timings that were shown on the screen (the ones already set). You should be able to find most of the timings online from where you got your RAM or just researching online...
Are you running the latest BIOS (804) ? I just set everything to auto... except for the RAM Voltage.... that's what matters to me... and like I said I ran @ 333 CPU FSB for 3 GHZ for a while with F@H... but I didnt really do anything else... I'm just not used to being so close to 60C... I have...
Well, you have only one fan and a single radiator... I guess maybe that could be why... I'm sure if you had a 3x120mm fan and radiator it probably could do better... makes me wanna go back to WC... /sigh.... /curses his EXOS Al that died on him long long ago..
I have used both, and the Revolution is not that much more... It may be more comfortable, but I do not like the secondary scroll wheel. When I had it did not have many options for reassigning it. They both share the same non user-replaceable rechargeable battery, and I believe both are about teh...
That's kind of an old review. I believe from memory... the 7K500 is FIVE 100 GB platters, and as such exhibits a LOT of noise, and runs really hot. I have the 750 GB Seagate, which runs off FOUR platters. I dont know, I've never had a Hitachi desktop drive, only 7K60s and 7K100s (7200 RPM...
