My current rig is nearly 4 years old.
Q9450@3.2Ghz
470gtx (15% oc possible), replaced a 4870 nearly 2 years ago
2*250GB Disc in Raid0
Profile: Office, Internet and Gaming @1080p
The CPU goes up to 3.4Ghz but no further, either it is maxxed out or I am lacking the experience for a...
Purchased the new Palit 470 GTX with non-reference PCB/Cooler on Friday.
Idea was to replace my trusty old 4870 (512mb) and with a bit of overclocking luck get 5870 to 480 GTX (non-overclocked) performance, DX11 features and last but not least more video ram. The price difference to a...
I prevented CF so far, as I am playing at 1650*1080 and only needed to prevent high AA levels.
However I would like to upgrade my 4870, which has only 512mb videoram, which is a limiting factor from time to time (hi-res texture packs or GTA IV).
Prices for a R5870 are around 400.
Now a...
Hello,
am I wondering if I should upgrade my currently 845D base mobo (the first chipset from Intel supporting DDRAM) to a 845pe. Does anybody know, if besides the additional features of the 845pe there is any speed advantage over the 845D (beside that I can run CPUs with higher FSB) ?
Cheers...
Hi guys,
I want to do a small system update, as I am running a crappy 1st generation 1.8P4 (from Dec 2001) that overclocks only to 2.3 Ghz.
I am running it on a Abit BD7 (845D chipset) board, with PC266 (Kingston) Ram and I do not want to change the mainboard or the RAM at the moment, this...
Hi guys,
since a couple of weeks each time I (re)boot my computer the speaker settings in the system/sounds&audio are reset to "desktop speakers". I am using the Logitech Z-560, which is 4.1 and always set the speaker settings to "5.1", as my DVD player and TV player is reading this information...
Hi,
just received my Sapphire Atlantis Radeon 9700 pro.
I am running a P41.8A @2.4 (100 FSB -> 133) and this works since months with my old Ti4200.
After I installed the ATI card the PC started rebooting as soon as it entered WindowsXP. All system drivers and Bios are up on the latest...
Hi guys,
I want to set up a wireless network, mainly to share the DSL access at home. I am in favour of the Netgear MR314/MA101. However there is one problem:
The AP/Router will be on the ground floor and the main receiver on the second floor. It is not more than 10-12m, but with 2 ceilings...
I am running a P41.8@2.4 with a GF4Ti4200. I am playing a lot of 3D games like Mafia, Morrowind, WC3 etc. I am using an Eizo L565 TFT (very nice) and therefore I like playing at 1280*1024*32, because the picture is extremely crisp and clear. The Ti4200 has no problem running this resolution...
Hi guys,
purchased the Coolermaster ICH-L71 yesterday, together with a nice YS fan. So I removed the stock P4 HSF from Intel and applied the usual thin layer of thermal grease to the CPU. The ICH-L71 is re-using the retention kit from Intel, however you need a bit less force to close it.
Fired...
Hi guys,
I currently running my 1.8 Northwood (already bought in Feb) at 123 FSB, which gives me roughly a 2.2 CPU, this is very stable now since months. I have fixed the AGP and PCI speeds to 33Mhz. I am using the stock sink/fan combo and the CPU temp is 36 / 53 Celsius (idle vs. running...
Hi guys,
I am planning to buy an aluminium case (mid tower size). At the moment I have two candidates on my list:
1.) Coolermaster ATC-201-SX1
2.) Lian-Li PC68
I plan to use either the 350W or 431W PSU from Enermax (the one with the fan speed control). Both cases come with 4 pre-installed...
Hi guys,
I received my new AOpen Ti4200 - 128DVC Aeolus graphics adapter yesterday. I selected this one, because it has a nice feature set, software bundle and comes at very nice price. My expectations concerning overclocking were not too high, but at least I hoped to reach 500Mhz memory clock...
