Ok, looks like it's just a weird issue with CCC. Not sure why though. Maybe its an issue with the 8.1 Cat drivers? Anyway I disabled it from the tray tools, and then loaded Rivatuner. RT took to it with no issues. Let it analyze the frequencies with a reboot, and then I was off. Ended up...

ok, after reading some more info, it looks like those upper limits are teh actual set limits for the card, so it appears that a bios change is the only way to unlock a higher clock setting. I mean, I know it's factory overclocked, but only 20MHz on the GPU? Give me a break!

I've had some experience with NVIDIA cards (Rivatuner is great with them) but this is my first ATI. From what I've read I thought you could use Rivatuner for everything except OCing on ATi cards, but I guess I'm wrong. I'll play around with Rivatuner and ATi Tool a bit before I flash the...

I'm experiencing an OC issue with my 512MB Visiontek HD3850. I just built this system over the weekend. E2200 (OCed to 3.0), Gigabyte P35-DS3L, 2GB Corsair DDR2 800, all in an Antec P180 with a 500W Antec Earthwatts PS. When I got into CCC (running Catalyst 8.1 drivers), it appears to only...

well, after reading some more information about WHS, I think I'll wait till they work out some of the bugs with file sharing. Apparently it is a great solution for backups, but a very glitchy file server, and MS isn't really keeping their knowledge base updated about it either as indicated...

I don't? Then where's my redundancy? Like I said, I want to keep all of my shared files on the file server, so I can stream or pull down what I need on my laptop or desktop. But if I'm not doing mirroring or striping on the server, then what's preventing data loss due to HDD failure?

sweet, so I just need to get a copy of win home server and a sata controller. hardware raid or software?

Ok, ended up buying parts for a new build and will turn my old build into a file server or NAS, so I'm still really interested in finding out opinions on the PC based NAS OSes (freeNAS, etc.) versus running WinXP or Windows Server on it. Also, what would be my best route for now, knowing...

where? I still don't see any instock anywhere.

Hmm, that does look pretty nice. Non-raid, but still offers data redundancy across multiple drives with hot swap capability. Just kinda pricy though. $700+ would build me a nice new rig along with a good hardware SATA RAID controller for my old box. Hmmmm, not sure what to do here, but...

Problem with that is I do not plan on keeping all of my files on my main PC, since the video footage off my HDD camcorder will take up alot of space. I just want to be able to take what ever file I'm working with, pull it over to the PC's drive from the storage, and then edit/process/burn and...

So I recently bought a new HDD based camcorder to record vid of our first child, which along with my years of digital photos and my growing itunes mp3/podcast/video collection, has finally pushed me to install some increased storage reliability. I was looking at some standalone NAS units at...

has anyone used that big water system before? I'm seriously considering getting into water cooling, I'm tired of my PC sounding like a plane taking off.

So can I take this thing out of it's enclosure and put it in my laptop to replace my 4200RPM 60GB drive?

so is it even worth upgrading to this card if I have a mobo that only supports 4xAGP? I'm planning on upgrading my system sometime this year as well, and don't know yet if I'll be going the AGP or PCI-E route either, depends on what board I upgrade to. current card is a GF4 Ti4600
