    Desktop can see wireless network but wont' connect?

    I'l have to check the IP when I get off work. But to answer your last question, the modem that the cable company gave me originally acted as both a modem and wireless router all in one (which had horrible wifi performance). In order for me to use my own netgear router I had to call the...

    Desktop can see wireless network but wont' connect?

    I've been trying to figure this out but I think I'm at a brick wall. I have a desktop in the room adjacent to the router with a D-Link Xtreme N Desktop PCI Express Adapter (DWA-556) on a machine running Win 7 Home Premium 64. The router is a Netgear WNDR-3700. The problem is that when the...

    Suggesetions for adding SATA Controller?

    I recently ran out of SATA ports on my Asus P6T Deluxe (Ver 1) after connecting a new SSD. Here's what I'm currently running off SATA: 2xSSD, 3XHDD, 1XBD-RW and I had to disconnect the DVD burner. I would like to be able to have my DVD burning reconnected and also be able to add more HDD/SSD...

    Starcraft 2 performance issues after OC

    CPU temps at 67. I'll do a test for GPU temps , but I doubt they're too high as the GPU fan didn't go to highspeed mode.

    Starcraft 2 performance issues after OC

    I've been experiencing strange performance issues with SC2 after I did an OC to my CPU. When there's many units on the screen, the system seems to hang for a bit, or stutters for anywhere from 5 - 60 seconds until the game becomes responsive again. The OC on my 920 C0 is from stock to 3.38...

    Is my PSU enough to handle an OC?

    Whew. Thanks for the help - saved me $300 as I was thinking of pulling the trigger on the Corsair AX-1200 (overkill, but I thought I might as well spend the extra $100 and save to hassle of having to keep re-doing the cables.)

    Is my PSU enough to handle an OC?

    I originally had my system OC'ed to 3.38GHz, but then I added a bunch of extra stuff and to be safe, I set it back to factory settings. Now I'm not sure if the PSU can handle the new stuff I added with an OC. (added BD Burner, 2 HDD, 1 SSD, 2 120mm fans) Here's my current build: i7 920...

    Random Reboots - PSU Problem?

    I turned off the automatic restart option and it didn't reboot last night. I'll keep monitoring it over the next week or so, as the problem doesn't happen everyday. Everytime it reboots, I'm not actually sitting in front of the computer. I also checked the event log, and it showed the last...

    HD 4870 1G I'll also check on the Automatic Restart option - I've never changed that before, so it should be on by default.

    Random Reboots - PSU Problem?

    I recently added a new HDD, SSD, and BD burner into my computer. I'm experiencing random reboots every now and then, and I'm trying to rule out the PSU as the culprit. Here's my system: i7 920 (Stock Speeds) 3x2GB DDR3 1333 3 HDD 7200 RPM 1 Intel SSD 5 Case Fans (All 120mm. 4 Case Fans...

    AHCI Problems!

    Drivers for the MB? No.. should I be doing that? EDIT: Hmm... I'm looking at the P6T Deluxe downloads page on the Asus site and I don't see any drivers.... which drivers are you talking about?

    AHCI Problems!

    Boot priority is set to SDD, then DVD Drive. I tried putting in my Windows 7 into the DVD Drive and it won't load, so I'm guessing it's not even getting far enough to even attempt to boot anything. Also, when I switched back to IDE after a CMOS reset, the SSD boots fine.

    AHCI Problems!

    Thanks for the quick reply. Are you thinking that the problems I'm having is simply due to switching IDE to AHCI after Windows is already installed? If that's so, I'm trying to figure out why I can't even get into BIOS? I'm also trying to figure out if I'm changing the settings correctly...

    AHCI Problems!

    I recently bought an Intel X-25M 80GB (G2) SSD and a copy of Windows 7 Ulitmate OEM. I installed Windows 7 successfully on the SSD, however, it's currently set to IDE in BIOS (I didn't figure out that it needed to be set to AHCI prior to install). I've done some research online and found a...

    Problem connecting onboard audio to receiver via coaxial SPDIF

    I'm trying output sound to my home theater receiver via the coaxial SPDIF on my Asus P6T Deluxe (version 1). I've connected the cables and checked "playback devices" in Vista and it shows "SPDIF Interface", "ATI HDMI Output", and "Digital Output". I've tried all three (they're all enabled...

    Noticable difference between i7 920 C0/C1 and D0!

    I would swap, but I've got my C0 at 3.5 at 1.25vcore, so it's not too bad. I'm probably going to OC his D0 for him. If he's looking at keeping it stock, I'll make the swap happen ...covertly. haha (I'm just not looking forward to taking out the whole mobo to remove the TRUE).

    Noticable difference between i7 920 C0/C1 and D0!

    I just completed a build for my dad, and it's very comparible to my system, except the i7 920 is D0 stepping where mine is C0/C1 stepping. His cpu idles at 32C where mine idles at 39C, full load at 58C and mine is 67C (these figures are for stock settings) Also, I'm running a P6T deluxe...

    Seeking advice on building/ugrading 2nd system

    You do have a valid point - especially since this is going to be a secondary computer primarily to play WoW. I was originally looking at the AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition. What are your thoughts on that CPU and would you have any suggested motherboards to go with it? (I'm looking for...

    Seeking advice on building/ugrading 2nd system

    I'll need the computer to be able to run WoW (and the upcoming expansion next year) at max, or near max at 1680X1050. (The game is suprisingly CPU dependent.) Also, I want to make sure that I have an upgrade path in the future. Would this make the i5 the best purchase given it's low price...

    Seeking advice on building/ugrading 2nd system

    I'm looking at building a 2nd system for my gf to play WoW. My budget is $1000.00 max and the parts will be purchased in Canada. I currently have an old system that I was wondering if I could salvage parts from: It's an old P4 system with a raidmax ATX case, 2 IDE HDDs, DVD-R... I...

    Need help with high end build

    Okay, so now that I told her about all of your comments, she's now willing to spec the computer a bit more reasonably - with a catch. Since I'm building a computer for my father, she wants to see it before she buys. What do you guys think of the following build? i7 920 Asus P6T SE...

    Need help with high end build

    Oh she definitely does not need this stuff, however she wants the fastest rig that she can get for her budget. I've already explained that there's diminishing returns at this point, but.....I think the goal for her is bragging rights. I'll try to convince her again to step it down a notch...

    Need help with high end build

    I friend of mine is asking me to put together a high-end system. I'm a bit at a loss as to what components are needed. Budget will need to stay under $5000.00 Canadian Dollars after tax. That would be around $4.4K US dollars. The computer will be primarily used for gaming, surfing. That...

    i7 920 DRAM Voltage Question

    I just read in a few different places that the P6T Deluxe is unable to monitor RAM voltages. http://www.lavalys.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=3813 Anyone here with a P6T that can confirm?

    i7 920 BSOD OC questions

    Thanks for the advice Shaq. I ran LinX with Memory to use set to 'All' and ran 85 times (4h 56m) without any problems. Max temp was 69C. I'm guessing the BSOD was a one-off.

    Do my Core i7 OC temps seem normal?

    It seems pretty normal to me. I'm OCed to 3.4, vcore 1.225 with a TRUE 120 stock fan, with 1 fan in front, 1 fan back, 1 fan top. My temps are 40ish idle and 65ish load with ambient temp of 22. Given that your ambient is 5-8C hotter than me and you're running at a higher speed, I would...

    i7 920 BSOD OC questions

    I ran a Real Temp sensor test last night and I got the dreaded BSOD. Real Temp is setup to check temperatures at load with Prime 95 (I used the blended test). I find this really strange, I have been running the test at current settings everyday for almost a week now. I've even been okay with...

    i7 920 DRAM Voltage Question

    LOL. I have Firefox installed....but I have a habit of clicking on the IE icon because of work. Shame on me! Yes, I'm positive I saved bios before exiting, and when I go back to check, dram bus voltage on the bios is set to 1.50V. So I'm not going crazy... it looks like something is wrong?

    Strangely, Everest doesn't show the DIMM under Voltage. I'm wondering if the P6T even has a sensor for RAM voltage?

    i7 920 DRAM Voltage Question

    I just installed Asus PC Probe 2. Under Memory Controller, it's showing up wrong. It's shows Maximum Memory Size = 4096MB (Should be 6134MB) and Voltage at 3.3V. Can somebody do me a favour and see if their CPUID Hardware Monitor DRAM Voltage matches what they set in bios?

    i7 920 DRAM Voltage Question

    Thanks for the reply. I thought 1.65 was maximum voltage for DRAM? (I've heard as long as DRAM is less than 0.50 from QPI, it should be fine.. although I've seen nothing official to back this up). I should have been more clear. The 1.70V DRAM Voltage I'm seeing is on CPUID HWMonitor. If...

    i7 920 DRAM Voltage Question

    I just noticed that CPUID is showing DRAM Voltage at 1.70V, however, I manually set DRAM BUS VOLTAGE to 1.50V in BIOS. Are these the same thing? I also set BIOS to use XMP Profile, where the voltage was 1.50v. Can somebody please explain this to me as I'm afraid that my DRAM is waaay...
