yep... tried that this weekend... IT WAS FRIGGIN NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually tried it the weekend before last as well but had no effect. since its been on the news and all I gave it another shot with some friends watching. I was VERY skeptical of any resulting changes in awareness and...

pffffffttttttt.... doesnt even work correctly all the time on 32 bit XP :laugh:

Not entirely a DX10 issue. Check it out... You can get Very High to run even on XP x86 http://www.extremetech.com/art.../0,1697,2209704,00.asp I do agree that the Dell PSU is probably undersized but wouldnt that still let you adjust the settings to a high level and then just crash...

stock intel hsf??? Entirely undersized if so... at least imo. Ive heard about the same temps from others with that setup. Im basically half of yours with the E6600 and at half the temps... with the TRUE120 and fan.

Could that be the reason??? Perhaps Basic is locking him out of certain features??? I just dropped my 7950 gtko for 2 8800 gt oc's and built my buddy a budget pc with a P4 3Ghz and tried Vista Ultimate x86 for a little bit before going back to XP x86. I threw my old 7950 in there for him and I...

not sure about the anodized coating but... how about sealing the arch'ed gap at the top and bottom to force air through the blades???? Good ol' duct tape to the rescue!!! And the black doesnt look as bling on my chain... Flava Flav's :clock: has NOTHING on my TRUE. oh... and, not sure if...

Has anyone had the SLI switch card go bad on this board????? I finally gave in and threw a 780i in the box last night and SLI popped right up. I couldnt seem to get the p5n-e sli to recognize it for more than a day. After setting up once it just went away completely the next day. Weird because...

just dropped in a 780i... and all is well with the world again... must have been the flip card

Yeah I thought 600w should be enough and Ive been trying everything at stock just to try to get it to recognize the hardware. For a couple days last week I actually got it up and running after a fresh OS install. The card was recognized and I was able to enable SLI. For that brief moment, I...

What type of wattage do you guys think I should be looking at to power the list below? Im running the following: XP Pro x86 Asus P5N-E SLI C2D E6600 stock @ 2.4ghz OC?d @ 3-3.2ghz 2x1024mb TwinX 6400C4D 2x1024mb TwinX 6400C4 2x150gb WD Raptor Raid 0 1x300gb Seagate Barracuda SATA II...

yeah, no matter what I do now, i cant get the 2nd card to register. However, the fan is still turning.... d@mmit!!

Im running WinXP x86 and have the card flipped to "dual" (which is silly to begin with). Im thinking of looking again at how my peripherals are powered... just as you indicated to better balance the power feeds from the rails. Good point on the quick-boot, I hadn't thought of that yet but the...

Okay weird update... I reinstalled windows to get a fresh start and just like that I was able to see the SLI options and configuration. I start up the machine this morning and... GONE! I did get a BSOD though which propted me to disable the JMBmicron sata controller... so... (dumb)...

Wondering if anybody has any ideas or if Ive missed something. Im trying to setup a 2nd BFG 8800 GT OC in SLI and I cant get it to see the 2nd vga. Below is my setup: Asus P5N-E SLI C2D E6600 (back to stock 2.4 ghz for this) 2xWD Raptor 150gb R0 1xSeagate Barracuda 300gb Plextor PX-55SA...
