    Problems O/C'ing Patriot Ram

    Did more testing and I've concluded it is the mobo. I tried the suggestions above and it's no better. I did find however that it will run 428fsb/856mem @ 4-4-4-12. Unfortunately is does get a bit hot so I won't leave it there. Also it seems that my processor doesn't run as efficiently at a 7x...

    Problems O/C'ing Patriot Ram

    I have a P5B-E rev A, E6600 and 2g of Patriot Ram (PDC22G6400LLK), the board is modded to add .3v to Vdimm, I run it at 2.2v. I runs all day at 835 @ 4-4-4-12 without any problems. I wanted to try a higher frequency and drop the latency, my target was 1000 @ 5-5-5-15. When I run memtest I...

    Monitor res/Vid card res mismatch

    I have a CRT right now and that resolution doesn't show up as an option so I was wondering if it was available. Thanks

    Monitor res/Vid card res mismatch

    From my experience with an LCD monitor the best picture I get is when the vid card res and monitor res are the same. I'm looking at widescreen monitors and there doesn't seem to be an exact match. Is there a way to disable the scaling on a WS monitor and accept the black bars around the picture...

    Going C2D in a few weeks - Should I just buy a ASUS P5B-E Now?

    From what I've gathered so far the mod is relatively simple, one pin of an IC through a pot to ground. I work with SMT stuff so the mod should not be too bad, just need a magnifying glass!

    Going C2D in a few weeks - Should I just buy a ASUS P5B-E Now?

    I can't figure it either, but oh well. I'm looking for someone to do a PS mod to boost it up a few .1's. :) (or else just a schematic of the PS section)

    Going C2D in a few weeks - Should I just buy a ASUS P5B-E Now?

    If you plan on doing any oc'ing make sure you get the 1.02 rev., it allows higher than 2.1v memory voltage. I just bought mine a few weeks ago from Newegg and still got the older 1.01 rev and of course my memory needs over 2.1v to go over 800mhz so I'm stuck.

    P5B-E simple SoundMax option?

    Does anyone know how to simply switch off the rear sound output but keep the front on? I know how to go into menu after to menu then do a reset to do it but I'm looking for a simpler way. I can turn down the volume to zero but it seems I can never get it back where it was. I want the system to...

    8800GTS fan setting in registry?

    Does anyone know how to set the fan speed in the registry? Right now I start Rivatuner to set the fan speed and use ATI-Tools for the overclocking. I'd like to get rid of the Rivatuner load. Thanks

    P5B-E Chassis Fan control?

    Does anyone know if Chassis Fan 1/2 actually pwms the fan or it just monitors rpm ? There is a Q-Fan control but I see no verbage mentioning pwm'ing like it does on the cpu connector. Has anyone used Q-Fan for the cpu? It seems when I set for Performance mode the fan still runs at about half...

    Installing XP Sp2 from hard drive possible?

    I've just gone through 2 days of trying to get XP Sp2 running on my new computer. I built a new machine but kept the old hard drive so when I fired it up it required a re-install of XP. So I go through the hassles of loading and getting upgrades. When I go to upgrade to Sp2 it crashes on...
