I'm considering this game. Long time WoW player. I like wow because the character movements are very smooth and feel real. I can't stand games that aren't like that, Lord of the Rings, for example was very bad in this way.
Can you tell me how Star Wars is in terms of character movement and the...
I had a similar AMD setup as you. I found an intel e3200 with mobo and 2gb ram for $60. used. Overclocked it to 3.6. Then bought a 4850 1gb for $65. After selling my old parts it cost me almost nothing. That old pc3200 ram is worth a lot.
I'm about to buy this at SuperBiiz for about $100. The 40gb is enough room for me to use it as a boot drive with my programs on it and still have over 20% of the space leftover. I'm interested in this model because of the fast random reads/writes. My computer use is limited to web surfing and...
I want to upgrade my gaming machine. I only play WoW. I will be overclocking.
Currently I have:
AMD 64 3700+ @ 2800 MHz
7300 GS
I don't care if I go with AMD or Intel.
I was thinking of an e5200. I don't know much about what is currently available.
Thanks for you help.
You probably hit a FSB wall. I had the exact same experience on a recent build. I was stuck at 227 FSB. But it turned out stable at 344 x 9 on stock voltage with the stock Intel heatsink. This is very common with the E4300's. You could start experimenting with various FSB, while booting into...
I have a 32" Sceptre from Costco. The power button doesn't always work. I bought it last year before they changed the return policy for TV's. Does that mean I can still return it? If so I'm going to return it and get this Westinghouse.
If it's not overclocked two 80mm exhaust fans are fine. Two of those cheap fans sound good to me. Two fans will double the CFM but not the dba.
Don't trust specs on the fans. If it moves more air it is louder.
The strap will change when you raise the FSB, regardless of which cpu you're using. While raising the FSB, if you hit a wall, just jump 30-50 MHz and see what happens. Lower the multi if necessary.
I just put together a system with an E4300 and DS3. It wouldn't go higher than 267 x 9. But was...
I have that same NEC drive. It's a little picky with old, scratched up Netflix DVD's. So I keep an old Toshiba DVD-ROM installed that plays everything. You can throw a DVD out onto the highway, leave it there for a few days, and the Toshiba will still play it.
Just an update here. 2900 MHz (9 x 322) is stable. I ran both Orthos blend and small fft's overnight. I'm only using 1.29 vcore. The low vcore would suggest it has more headroom. But since 3000 MHz didn't work at stock vcore and I'm using the intel heatsink I'll leave it at 2900 MHz.
It looks like I have a FSB hole from about 268-300. I am currently testing 2900 MHz at 9 x 322. All volts are stock. I tried 3000 MHz but it wasn't stable. I don't want to raise the volts because the stock heatsink is on there. This is a new build for a friend. If it was me I'd use a Ninja like...
DS3 and E4300.
Was stuck at 9 x 267 (2400 MHz). Stock vcore. No voltage adjustments on anything would let it go higher. Did some reading and it looks like I may have maxed the NB on the 800 strap.
Trying 8 x 334 (2672 MHz) now. Stock vcore. This should have the NB on the 1066 strap...
Suspending drives is safe, actually, as long as it is done right. Check the SPCR link earlier in this thread for ideas. The only way to quiet these drives is to decouple them from the case. Otherwise the vibration transfers to the case and it gets louder.
I have my raptor sitting on the floor...
