just wondering if my idle and load temps are on par w/ my new system AMD X2 4800 - idle 32 C - load - 46 C watercooled - thermaltake bigwater BFG 7800 GTX OC - idle 44 C - Load - 71 C stock Asus A8n Premier - idle 32 C Load 40 C - thermaltake xaser...

I am running win x64 w/ a x2 4800, asus A8n SLI premier board - do I need an X2 patch, and is there a specific win 64 patch??? thanks

also - should I disable my AC97 audio - it is enabled right now - sinced I am running the soundblaster card? or are they two totally different things? You would have never guessed I built this system on my own with all these questions I am asking.....thank you again for your patience NOTE...

the SB is in the very bottom slot

thank you, I also saw something in the BIOS -- Under "PCIPnP" then "Init Display First" which "detects which graphics controller to use as the primary boot device" this is set to PCI and the only other option is PCI-E, should I set it to PCI-E since thats what my GPU is?? Or am I totally off?

only PCI cards I have are: BFG 7800 GTX OC - PCI X16 -- and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS regular PCI -- thats all -- I might put a wireless card in it in the future, thats about it

How do I turn off OC options, I thought I went through all the options in the BIOS. maybe not.... Can anyone tell me the X2 patch?? The Mobo box said it supported X2--so I thought I wouldn't need a patch -- I updated the BIOS from 1008 to 1009 as well, and updated chipset to 6.65 before I...

Ok, I just built a system w/ an X2 4800 and an A8N premier board. Its watercooled and the chip never gets past 37 degrees Celsius, so I know its running cool. I have a 7800 GTX and no overclocking on anything. My problem is that when I run 3dmark 03, as soon as it gets to the "CPU test" the...

yes, sorry, I meant the SLI premium - thank you for the advice - I was actually thinking about the Thermaltake Purepower 680-watt PSU, heard a lot of good things about that one - I eventually want to put another 7800 GTX in it......just out of curiousity, what is wrong with the X-connect, (I...

I have $2200 and tomorrow I will go to tigerdirect store and buy all the components for my new rig, I was wondering if this will be compatable, because I have heard the A8N premium is a tough motherboard for compatability. NOTE: I am not going to overclock at all, I just want to run stock high...
