Hello all, I've just bought a Gigabyte GA-P31-S3L (moving from ASROCK 4core-dual VSTA in order to overclock)and it's up and stable but I have a few issues / queries. - 1) Is the CPU Fan header flaky on these boards? Often the fan on my Arctic Freezer Pro will jerk several times on boot...

Well I've ended up buying an X1950XTX 512MB for 90 pounds on Ebay I won't be going DX10 any time soon and I figured this will last me a good year. I hope the board will be able to handle this card...

Anyone know, or care to take a guess, at whether the 4coredual will have a similar problem with the new ATI HD 3800 series as it does with the 8800GT?

My ASROCK Quad Dual board has no problem with my X-fi Xtreme Music..

On some earlier postings I thought I was having problems with a (possibly faulty) new AKASA Paxpower 500w PSU underpowering the MBand my GFX card - causing GPU based crashes. Here's what I've learned: 1) I'm running 2x1gig GeiL Ultra-Low Latency PC6400 800Mhz RAM. The (supposedly...

Thanks for the info Funboy. I wish I'd bought a PSU with a single 12v Rail with a big ampage! I think I'll get a volt-reader thingy, check the real voltage and possibly RMA the PSU. Initially I thought that low volage was causing a GPU related crash on Civ IV. Now I'm not so sure. I've...

Hello Big apologies for cross-posting, but as this ASROCK board is the direct ancestor of my Quad Dual VSTA board you guys may be able to help. My earlier post: Does anyone else have lower than expected voltage rails reported through software monitoring programs such as Speedfan...

Hello again RE: my earlier post about this ASROCK board and a new AKASA PSU Does anyone else have lower than expected voltage rails reported through software monitoring programs such as Speedfan and Sandra? As I mentioned earlier, I get 11.1-11.4 on the 12v rail reported by software...

Hi, I've just 'upgraded' my PSU from a High Power 360W PSU made in about 2003 to a new Akasa Paxpower 500w PSU. The High-power was reporting 12v rails of about 11.4 which I thought was a little low. The bloody Akasa, with dual 12v rails, is registering 11.1! - what the hell's going on...

Hello, I have the ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA motherboard. I've just bought some new DDRII RAM: GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC) Unfortunately I've just seen that the motherboard doesn't support 800Mhz RAM. Will the motherboard...
