Just built a new rig for a friend, and I'm having troubles overclocking this setup. Ram is the Corsair Dominator 8gb 8/8/8/24 (2x2x2x2gb) kit if that matters.
The main issue is that I can't seem to change the voltages on things like the CPU and RAM, even when following other peoples guides...
2 years ago I built my rig with an Intel Q9550 and the above-mentioned HSF. The box is rather sparse on instructions, and even their website PDF has no pictures or much in the way of orientation instructions.
Recently I've noticed that my idle temps are in the 45-50C range, when most people...
Why I ask this common question here is:
I'm finally getting off my butt and working on my drawing skills after years of neglect. So basically I would like something that works well for bringing up pictures to display for pose assistance. Yet at the same time of course being good at video...
I've been doing homework on which new HDD to purchase for video editting projects and some general storage. As such I want a 1TB drive as I'm out of space in general atm, and need around 600gb of space for lossless video.
The RE3 is at a hefty premium of $160 compared to the $110 for the...
I've read that ATI inexplicably decided to not support UVD hardware in their HD2900 cards, but that the GPU would still support decoding features via using the stream-processors.
Does anyone know how I can tell if this is the case? There is no "GPU performance" meter in the Catalyst drivers...
I'm building a new system for a friend consisting of an Asus P5K-E motherboard and an Intel E6750 CPU along with 2gb of Mushkin extreme memory (Micron D9 chips, PC2 6400).
For some reason the system refuses to post. All the fans run normally, the motherboard has power, but there is no beep or...
I'm building a new box for a friend, and it initially posted without problems. So far so good. I set up the BIOS config and restart ... still good. I see the RAM is only running in single channel mode for some reason though. I moved the ram to the other channel slot and now I'm just getting...
I'm trying to enable the Language Bar on a system with Windows Server 2003 installed, and it refuses to appear on the taskbar. Under text services and input languages I turned on advanced text services (aka it is unchecked then), but the system still refuses to give me any choices under the...
I'm helping a girl at work upgrade her computer system, but I'm having trouble deciding which processor I should get out of all the revisions. For example, the Athlon64 3000+ has Socket 754 and 939 versions, Venice and Winchester cores, a Revision E chip, etc. Is there info somewhere that cuts...
I just got my new X800XL card (Giga-byte model) 256mb DDR3 and it has this high-pitched whirring sound, but when I slow the fan down with my finger there is no difference in the tone of the sound. Is this some kind of error sound tone coming from the card I don't know about?
I'm at a loss...
I see 2 main lines of Radeon AGP cards for the X800 line available -- one set has 400mhz Core/980mhz RAM, the other has 475mhz Core/900mhz RAM. Which is the better type to go with? Both seem to be reviewed highly on sites like newegg.
The 400/980 *seems* to be the more advanced card via the...
I think this is the right forum for this. I'm having very slow burning speeds for the new DVR-108 I just bought. I had read issues people had saying to use an 80pin IDE cable and make sure its set to UDMA/4 mode, so I have both of those. I'm running Win2K SP4 and the burner is currently on the...
I know that with the number of different manufacturers making 9600 cards, that there is a large difference between the different flavors. In hitting up a number of pages it seems the GigaXCube (Giga-byte) 9600 Pro Ultra cards appear to be the best out there, am I wrong? (they use Samsung memory...
