    GA EX58 UD5 QPI wall

    Does anyone know how to enable the "Slow Mode" on QPI multi? It has only x36, x44, x48, that seem to work correctly. "Slow Mode" just keeps using x36 which isnt really helpful. I cannot boot past ~7.4GHz QPI 205 BCLK nor past 168x44 ~7.4 QPI F12 BIOS. Old board i know.

    Asus 5870 coil whine fix

    Laing DDC noise

    This is my first watercooling build but i thought i had everything in mind. Setup: pump -> cpu - > gpu - XSPX 360 -> pump I thought i wouldnt need a res, and mounting in in my stacker 832 would be too much hassle because i have so many HDDs. The pump makes a constant LOUD ratting sound...

    ASUS A8N-MVP trouble

    I just bought this board because my old nForce 4 mb was behaving oddly and causing BSODs every 5 minutes. Now the damn BIOS on this ASUS board is driving me crazy. My RAM is specced 2-3-2-6-1T@200MHz. So if I set it 2-3-2-6, it really is 2-3-3-6. If I set it 2-2-3-6, it says the BIOS is...

    Which components use the 3.3V line?

    I just discovered my 3.3V line is highly outta spec. What kind of behaviour should be expected. Ive had a plethora of WEIRD problems latley, and now im beginning to blame the PSU. I have already replaced the mobo, which i guess was bad, maybe due to the 3.3V being only 1 at times :P

    Lots of random BSODs

    This has been going on a while now, and im getting desperate as i wouldnt want to buy new components just yet. About a month back, i bought my second seagate 320GB drive for more storage. Everything was fine for a week or so. Then i started getting DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and...

    Which one is dying?

    A week ago i started having random reboots and lockups etc, like i was OCing. Sometimes it even refused to POST. I did everything i could imagine, but the problem persisted. Then i noticed my CPU had only 1.36V vCore with stock settings. In bios it says it should be 1.400V though. This value...

    6800GT 78C?

    Is my Arctic silencer nv5 working properly if i hit those temps? I ran it @ 430/1120, and got no artifacts on 3dmark05, and 78C 15min+ rthdribl. So do you think thats a good OC? I would go further to see artifacts, but today when i turned my computer on, i got no video. I was pretty scared...

    Buzzing noise from my computer.

    Sometimes my computer stars making this very irritating high frequency buzzing or whining. Somedays it can run for hours and be as silent as i want it to be, but sometimes this occurs. I have the zalman fanmate 2 on my CPU fan and adjusting it from low to max usually stops the noise after a...

    NF4 Chipset temps on Neo4

    Under Prime, I got 46C from SpeedFan. That sounds pretty high to me, and I'd like to make it run cooler. My CPU gives 51C with the 7700-cu @1000rpm on it. I had to reseat the cpu HSF a day ago, and I think that it runs now a degree or two higher than it used to. Is this kind of behaviour...

    EMI springs

    Erm... When I built my computer and especially when I was attaching the IO shield to the case.. I was doing it according to the MechBgon's guide. But sadly, I thought that the metal springs sticking out of the shield would be just on the way.. so I snapped 'em off :o. When I'm talking to...
