Hi, Actualy, i've copy/pasted my specs from an earlier post. CMOS has been cleared prior to all my tests. The only thing ive set back in the BIOS are -SATA mode: RAID -Memory: Loaded the XMP Profile (board only detects 1333mhz CL9 until i load it) Otherwise everything is factory defaults

With a fresh format/install of Windows 7 SP1 x64, it does the same thing. All windows updates done and microsoft security essentials is installed. here's my specs: Intel Core i7-860 OCed 3.46ghz Gigabyte P55-UD3R G.Skill Ripjaws 4x2gb DDR3 1600mhz CL7 XFX Radeon HD 6870 1GB Western Digital RE4...

Hi, I'm having weird behaviors with my system. It randomly freezes for couple of seconds and unfreeze back. Sound will still play but display and mouse freezes totally. Sometimes, screen will blank and never comes back, but sound still plays fine, in this case, i have to force a restart. It...

is the reference design related to the PCB color? (red or green)

what you mean by reference design? A brand that offers a stock model without any overclock? I thought the 6970 were unlocked for overclocking? not the 6950?

i got the exact same case (Antec Three Hundred), my old 8800 was verrrry tight next to my HDDs. Actualy both my gpu and hdd powercords were bending hard. the 560ti im looking at is 1/4 inch shorter than my old 8800 so i'll be fine.

1920*1080 with all maxed out if possible. games: sc2 cod:black ops crysis 2 portal 2 CIV5 upcoming far cry 3 upcoming guildwars 2 upcoming starwars The Old Republic

How did you find out this 46amps? Does my two 12v rail(25a each) adds up for a total of 50A? I can't find out whats the minimum amps on the 12v required by the 560ti, all i can find is Graphics Card Power 170W. If i remember my science class, i got to divide watts per volts to get my...

Thx for your concern, Ive read your whole post "Caviar Blacks in RAID without TLER OK" But im not quite sure i understand your final solution, is it to do a raid10 or raid0+1 array? I ran a smart test on all my 3 drives and they are all fine. Their speeds are ok. How come when paired in a...

I've done the mistake to buy some WD Caviar Green drives for RAID5. On Intel ICH10R onboad raid controller it gives poor performance. Found out its due to a disabled feature on my green drive as well as much of today's drives. The feature allows improved error handling in a RAID environment...
