thanks for the reply. I turned PM to on (didn't know that was off to begin with).
I did see in my bios some where it was around 1.88V, so you comment helped to confirm what I was seeing.
Hi,
I have the same processor, but with a X38 MB. I have similar questions on the mem. In my bios, you can't set the DDR2 Overvoltage control to an exact number like you can the vcore. You have to bump it up from some set voltage. Problem I have is I don't know where to look to determine...
Got my system up and running, including a dual boot of vista & XP using easyBCD (wasn't that easy). The biggest problem I had was that my boot files had been installed on two partitions, confusing the BCD program. Once I cleared that up, all was good.
So today I started OC'ing. Got it stable...
thanks for the replies. Although I had read on several forums to install XP first not vista since vista can detect XP's presence. During the vista install, I was carefull to follow the prompts on installing it and also allowing a separate OS to exist, but not sure if that allowed it to install...
Hi,
Just built a new machine. Installed XP first and spent the time updating it, drivers etc. before installing vista 64 on a separate hard drive. Went thru the vista setup & chose the two separate OS path, etc.
After getting vista all setup, I went back into bios (I guess this is the only...
Good to hear that bios isn't worth it. I too have F6B. I just built my machine in time for the holidays and after a couple of issues, I got her up and running using WIndows Vista 64. No OC'ing yet, but that will be for next weekend ;). I appreciate all the good advice I learned from this...
Thanks for the info. I'll dig a little deeper in the master/slave decision. Concerning the SATA ports, I had read that the purple (the gigabyte contoller I think) is a little slower than the six ports on the intel controller and that somone recommended putting optical drives on the gigabyte...
Hi all it's me again, Panzer948,
Well I bit the bullet and ordered my parts. Just arrived this week and I have been going thru the manuals etc. before building the machine this weekend (I hope). However, I do have a few questions that I thought I would post before diving in and being without...
Thanks for all your input guys. Just to be safe, I decided to order another PSU. After reading a few more posts here, I settled for the Corsair 550VX: http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16817139004
I want to do this right and didn't want the PSU to be the limiting factor. Besides...
Thanks, I'll check them out. Just one question though. When you say "best performance" do you mean OC'ing ability or stable or not stable. In other words, if the latter, as long as my system runs stable I still should be able to do some mid-level OC'ing (not as interested in any extreme OC'ing).
My Enermax 480 watt power supply is about 3 years old and I want to use it with my new system (Gigabyyte GA-X38-DQ6 MB & Q6600), however, I noticed the power connector on my PSU is the ATX 2x10 (20 pin) type and the CPU power supply is the 2x2 type (currently running my old AMD 3000 system). The...
Wow, I don't see the huge price difference between these two that seems to get posted on the forums. I was a little late as I have been planning a new computer rebuild for the past 3 weeks, but missed the original lower price release of the 8800GT. By the time I had decided the 8800GT was the...
Sounds like good advice. BUt what if I set them up as Raid 0, then partitioned the drives so I can install one OS on each drive. I guess I could do that at first and then install XP, followed by Vista!.
Hi,
Getting ready to do a new computer rebuild. Been about 3 years so trying to catch back up with all the hardware and software issues. I really want Vista 64 on this machine and feel most of my applications/needs for the computer will be fine except for video editing. The video editing...
