Been running SLI 770s Lightings since release in June last year and over the xmas period one of my lightnings started to artifact
I returned it to the store but they no longer stock it so they have given me a full refund instead
When I got my Lightnings they cost £360 each and they have...
ive had my OCZ Vertex 2 for around 3 weeks but i got a new motherboard so i am about to reinstall windows 7
i was orginally going to use HDD Erase 3.3 to wipe the drive but ive heard that might not be nescessay as quick formatting the drive from windows 7 will do the same thing
is this...
Finally saved up enough for an 120GB SSD but after doing more research im not sure if i should get a SF-1200 or C300 based SSD now
or wait for intels latest G3 SSDs as 160GB would be perfect and will allow me to dual boot and still install some games on my SSD and the intel controller is likely...
something blew a fuse in my house and it seems it took out my 1TB Caviar blue (other drives and components survived)
i removed the faulty drive and it had that "burning" smell
so i took off the pcb to get a closer look at it and i noticed that the connections near a chip (Smooth L7251)...
mainly use it for gaming
i do encode regularly x264 and xvid for my ps3 and psp but normally i leave it overnight so time to encode is not really an issue
currently have a Q6600 @ 3.6 and im tempted to get a i7 920 D0 and clocking it to 4Ghz
i can sell my old cpu mobo, ram to my dad and the money from that should cover the x58 mobo and ddr3 all i will need to do is pay for the cpu
think it is worth the upgrade
i know alot of people will...
already used the Hitachi tool to increase AAM to the maximum
before i did it was 16.5ms
but nm now i am going to keep the drive ive discovered 3-4ms should make that much difference
i just bought a WD 320GB AAKS SATA drive and im disappointed with the access time
the drive will be used for game install only and will be partitioned right down the middle with my favourite & new games on the first partiton and old/rarely played games & demos on the second
think with...
well i still need a new mobo and ram so it will come out way more expensive
anyway ive decided to wait till summer 09 if my Q6600 is starting to show its age then i will probably get an i7
if its still going strong will probably hold on till the 32nm refresh
i need to stop being so...
My Q6600 is a good chip has a vid of 1.237 and does 3.6 @ 1.4v i can sell it for around £100 ($157) and the Q9650 is £361 ($568) brand new
so its costing me £260 ($409)
i currently have a Q6600 @ 3.6 Ghz and its great but i am thinking of getting a Q9650 and clocking it to 4Ghz
the thing is i want to do one last upgrade by the end of this week and then not have to worry about upgrading till the nehalem refresh is out which will probably be Q2 2010
so the...
i bought it from the UK and rang for a RMA number as soon as it knew it wasnt working
i dont really want to mention the shop as their staff are well know for browsing hardware forums
will post their name once the issue is resolved (will probably know its me anyway)
btw the IHS was attached...
i bough a brand new Q9450 and it didnt work
i sent it back to the store i got it from and they are claiming the heatspreader has come off and one of the corners is round instead of square and because of this they refused the RMA
wtf is going on
has anyone ever heard of heatspeaders...
doh i cant belive i didnt say what cpu ram i have
well i have a P4 2.53 and 512mb corsair pc3500
i managed to reach 160fsb with my asus P4S8X i couldnt test it any higher because 160 is the max FSB that board will go
anyway ive given up on this board and i am going to return it for a IT7-Max2
im getting cold boots and errors when i try to reset through windows
and the system wont go past 158fsb
i flashed to the latest bios
is my albatron faultly?
should i get a IT7-MAX2 instead
