    x800xl pci-e spec? 1.0, 1.0a, or 1.1

    Just wondering if somebody might know the pci-e spec for connect3d x800xl. Or is there some way I could tell. I couldn't find anything definite on the web as to whether it is pci-e 1.0, 1.0a, or 1.1. The new motherboard I have coming is pci-e 2.0 which is only backwards comp with 1.1...

    Help...think my motherboard is not functioning GA-P35C-DS3R

    Well PC wizard gives me erroneous readings on the cpu core clock. Anyways, I tried a new power supply and no change. I also tried the stock intel cpu fan but still got the same results...about half speed. I looked at the box for my thermaltake V1 and that specs fan speed at 1300 - 2000...

    UPS is ~4 months purchased when system put together. Electrical/wiring house non-issue. Here is an interesting screen shot. CPUID doesn't like the memory section in version 1.36..and on 1.41 it is giving the wrong core clock. Temps seem a bit low...house is at ~60F...

    Help...think my motherboard is not functioning GA-P35C-DS3R

    Power and temp settings are fine in cpuid. I rand UBCD memtest 86+ overnight with no errors. Fan still runs half power like: it runs from about 200 to 650 rpm when it should be running from ~400-1300 but everything else seems back to normal, I am not getting the sputtering fan I was getting...

    1 strange test result running SP2004: which ever cpu I start last gets stuck in page mode when running the blend (cpu and ram tests run normally) ****nm I guess it is just the version I was using...with orthos I don't get the problem. Back to the drawing board.

    Nope not a single hardware change since build. No driver updates for a couple of months. Yep, wouldn't get into bios...just snagged on the post screen no matter what I tried. But I finally tried swapping the memory to the other channel (1) and got it to boot...all the way to windows...

    My own build Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R Intel e4300 Patriot PC6400 2GB single module PEP22G6400EL Antec True Power Trio 550 I have never noticed any throttling and the temps have always been low on the cpu. The only thing I can probably do is swap memory slots being that it is a single...

    Asus a8n-e..

    HELP! I seem to have a unique problem with the bios issue. I couldn't get the HT multi out of 4x for the life of me. I never really messed with it until I was using 1008 or the beta 1010. I have tried both the windows flash and the dos flash methods for both. I also set the bios to...

    Opteron 146 Socket 939 $160+shipping (OOS ATM, but can Pre Order) at TankGuys

    Well from what I have read over various forums: CABNE was limited and people jumped on those becuase that's the same core as an FX-57 i.e. godly overclocks. CABYE seems to be a fairly proficient overclocker and would definately be desirable over the CABGE stepping. Id bet you they are all...

    Antec P180

    I noticed that on the description but I couldn't pass up on the good price... it should be a full retail package though (new/sealed from factory) and thats probably a mistake or the third fan isn't pre-installed. Unless they got a bunk shipment from antec and thats why they are selling em at...
