I'm buying a Q6600 and a P5K3 Premium, using Vista with it. I really like the integrated memory feature, saves money and speed, but really, I mean really, will it be enough for future games?
So I have 2 bars (512mb) of corsair 5400C4-PRO 4-4-4-12 which can be clocked at 667mhz
And I want new OCZ platinum revision-2 (2 bars of 1gb) PC2-6400 4-4-4-15.
Will I be able to dual channel them together? By putting the corsair at 4-4-4-15?
slot1 1gb
slot2 1gb
slot3 512mb
slot4 512mb
If it...
What's the best Future proof between the two.
I know the E6750 seems to perform quite well in gaming for the price. But will the Q6600 eventually surpass it with games that support quad?
On the 8800's what's the difference in quality and performance between all those AA modes?
I've been using 16xQ plus supersampling, but I'd like to understand all of them.
PS: I did read the article, but I'm confused.
Boot with the LCD turned off and turn it on when you're on the desktop.
Then select the option you'd like in the nvidia control panel and voila.
Problem: Once the lcd turns off, the option returns to "STRETCH THE HELL OUT OF THIS IMAGE"
I remember back then my motherboard (Asus p5ad2-e premium) would throttle my cpu to 2.8ghz (x14) when it was idle, and then put it up to 3.6ghz (x18) under load.
Which is good for the ambient temperature.
My problem is that I don't remember how to do it again.
My CPU lock free is on AUTO and I...
It's been months since I last checked the hardware scene so I don't know everything.
With the config I have right now, sig, how would a 8800gt perform?
My 3.6ghz is clocked at 4.5ghz air cooled.
Thanks.
I was surprised that in the settings the integrated video card had two heads (dual display). My brother just bought a computer for nothing and it's a 3500+, with pci-express slot. But I was asking myself how do we use the dual display with only one plug? Since it's integrated there's only one...
I know there are 5.1 headphones with 3 connectors for the sound card, that's cool.
But for the USB ones, they all have an integrated sound card or they redirect the sound of the sound card in the headphones? Because if they use their own sound card, that sucks, they won't be using my sound...
So to make a very long story very short:
Added 2 buttons to it. (one is a button that can start anything; pgrm, mail, etc..and the other does CTRL action) I used a keyboard pcb.
Added a fan for air-cooling my hot hand. Dropped some degrees, overclocking works well now. ;) Used an old cpu fan...
My new project is to make a gamepad-like thing from a keyboard pcb. As I have a usb keyboard, I can use both ps2 and usb.
Also, I added a new button to my mouse which is connected to the pcb too.
The keypad will have 6 buttons; 3 program button from logitech and the numeric keys 7,8 and 9. The...
Please check my rig.
I want to cool my chipset, cpu and gpu.
I've searched a lot and came to the conclusion that this kit has everything I want.
Good pump, blocks, style and company.
But I would like to know what kind of temps I could have with stock freq. And does anybody have this kit...
Or two 120mm radiators instead of 2 held together.
I don't know if I have to post this here or in case modding and I don't want to spam.
But how could I install 2 seperate 120mm radiators? Or held together as one...?
(I thought that maybe I could put one radiator under the roof, or even...
NeoPowe 480w.
I want to clean my case and rearrange the cables.
Is it good to put all hhd (only 2 right now) on the same rail, pci-e on another, and cd-rom, leds and case fans on another one again?
My leet haxor friend told me not to do this because hdd will have errors etc...but I answered...
Check my sig.
My sound card is not near my video card, so it has space.
Sometimes in cs:s, it just freezes and I have to reboot. My system was stable 1 week ago.
My idle temps were 53 before, now they're 54, and it's even 55 sometimes, IDLE!
I cleaned the dust, opened the front door for...
Saitek: 90$+18 buttons with 27 buttons +macro
Logitech: 50$ + a lot of useful buttons and other useless ones.
What should I get? I really find the saitek leet haxor and sweet, plus the 9 buttons thingy really is useful. Never saw a bad review on it. On the other side the logitech is less...
1- Does the liquid, when installed properly without air, last a long time before reloading some?
2- Radiators, pumps and other accesories last a lot of time too I guess? As a fan?
3- With my sig, and with some overclocking, would I need two radiators?
Thanks a lot for your time!
See my rig.
With some water cooling (pump, etc..) and 2 or 3 more HDD. Will my power supply be able to put enought power? I bought this one because every review gave it 10/10 and it was pretty costly.
Thanks.
I have a 3.6ghz with Asus P5AD2-E Premium, any idea of how to use the full 667mhz potential of my ram without using the FSB, or with it if it has no other choice? Since it's an overclocker's ram.
Thanks!
I have a 3.6ghz, when I open CPU-Z it show 3.6ghz, then switchs to 2.8ghz. And switches again (rarely) but is 70% of the time on 2.8ghz.
See what I mean? I don't think it's underclocked but I have a Asus P5AD2-E Premium with CPU Lock Free on AUTO.
Any Ideas?
I'm really in a big frustration now and I'm about the completely destroy my card with teeth.
When I try to view my video-in with a program it doesn't work. I tried with various programs and some tell me the error 80070057.
I installed catalyst 5.1, 5.2, 5.3. I'm sure the problem comes...
I have a 3.6ghz LGA775
Asus X800XT-PE
Asus P5AD2-E
Thermaltake Shark case, plus the HDD cage installed.
I would really like a water cooling kit (internal) for my system but I can't seam to find something enought good to cool CPU+VGA+Chipset.
Is there anything under 350$ that could cool...
This week my card was able to hit 85degress celcius.
Only a tiny portion of artifacts.
I opened Asus SmartCooler, put the Fan on 100%, strangely, it only goes at 2500rpm (average). I remember when I first installed the card, it was 3800rpm or so.
What can I do? (I need info, please help)
Is there a way to clone or expand my monitor (DVI->VGA adapter) on my TV (Vivo->Composite out)?
I tried in the settings, when I check "Expand on this monitor" and press apply, it refreshes the screen and the unchecks itself. The only way I found to view things on my TV is to set it as primary...
I connect my RJ45 in the onboard LAN. But windows doesn't detect it.
It only shows 1394 connection 1 and 2. But none of them recieves packet, which means that they aren't the good ones.
I tried to install drivers from the CD, but it seems like none of them is made for this thing.
If it's in...
I want my 74gb Raptor SATA to boot (master).

I want my 200gb IDE to work too.
But there's like 4 DMA connections. I've read the manual but I still don't get it...
All it says is Invalid System Disk...
Please I need help.
I installed many different kinds of Harddisks, windows( 98se, 98, 2000, me, nt).
And tried 2 kinds of graphics cards, pci and agp.
Uninstalled almost everything that could possibily cause the problem, network card, modem, EVERYTHING, cd-rom floppy disk.
BUT EVERY TIME I LOG INTO WINDOWS AND...
