    Budget Graphics Card Question!

    Any reason for this? I tried to find reviews on the two cards but could not find any that would help out. Is the 9600XT a much quicker/better card than the 6200?

    Budget Graphics Card Question!

    Ok, so ... my mum calls me the other day complaining that my sister cannot play a certain game on her PC as it runs too sluggish. The reason for this is because the graphics card is an IGP (onboard nVidia MX Series with 64MB Shared) and is not that great. My sister plays games like The Sims for...

    Choosing the right case ...

    Keep the Cheiftec? Hmm well it is a good case i just thought that there would be much better cases out there with better cooling facilities. It's not like my PC is over heating i just wanted a nicer case as the Chieftec is rather plain looking hehe, it's the old Alienware cases before they used...

    MSI NX6800GT PCI-E?

    Indeed it is but MSI produced about 350 6800GT cards which had only 12 Pipelines and 5 Vertex Shaders than 16 Pipelines and 6 Vertex Shaders. Im just quering about if i DO get the 16 pipe version it will be as good as other brands? Never had an MSI GFX Card before but this "hiccup" from MSI kind...

    MSI NX6800GT PCI-E?

    If this card does come as a 16 Pipeline version will it be a a decent card to use? Also will i be able to use SLi properly if it does come as a 16 Pipeline version? Also what about the nVidia Core used? Should the 6800GT be NV40 or NV45? Hope someone can clear this up, thanks. Otherwise i will...

    MSI NX6800GT PCI-E?

    Aye i read it ... im very worried now. I knew i should'nt have gone with MSI now! I used to have the K8N Neo2 Platinum but i NEVER worked after 2 board replacements so that was no good. Now i originally thought "Oh! Thats a pretty decent price and i have known people to give MSI good reviews on...

    MSI NX6800GT PCI-E?

    Hello, I recently snapped up a 256MB MSI 6800GT PCI-Express Video Card and i was wondering if this was a decent card. I can't find any reviews on the card but it was cheaper than retail price and was brand new in retail packaging (£240.00). I was originally on a 256MB Galaxy 6800GT AGP but i...

    Random Resetting?

    As a matter of fact i think i DO have an old GeForce 1 (yes ONE) 32MB DDR Graphics Card lying around somewhere. I will give that a try, although it will have to be a full day's test the damn thing is completely random and it may not even happen in a day. Like now, the last reset was about 2hrs...

    Random Resetting?

    Hmm, thats very strange my motherboard can only do a +0.2v increment, maximum, on the DDR Voltage Control Option. I knew PSU would come into it again, well i was wondering if you can do a little check for me as im not really that great with all this AMP and RAIL business. The only place i can...

    Random Resetting?

    It's at default ... it should not need extra voltage unless i am overclocking really, besides i have tried it numerous amount of times. For example: T2 Timing Enabled - +0.1v DDR Voltage - CAS 3.0 = Still randomly resets. T2 Timing Enabled - +0.2v DDR Voltage - CAS 3.0 = Still randomly...

    Random Resetting?

    Thermalright XP-120 Issue/Problem

    The XP-120 did not come with clear tape on the bottom of the heatsink and there is none there. I do know the Metal Backplate came with clear tape on the bottom of that and i did remove it. Also the XP-120 seems to be not fully working i mean i was running the CPU tests in 3D Mark 2005 and it hit...

    Thermalright XP-120 Issue/Problem

    I see, i think this maybe what is causing the problem then. I never thought AS5 had to be done this way show how much i know. I will try this ... and hopefully it will be the last problem i run into! Thanks.

    Thermalright XP-120 Issue/Problem

    Thank you, i will try this. In fact i will try just about anything to get this working correctly for me. Just one minor question though, when i apply the 1.5 rice-grain amount of AS5 onto the CPU do i spread it evenly over the Processor (by using a piece of Cardboard etc) or do i just leave the...

    Thermalright XP-120 Issue/Problem

    Well, the only problem with this is the XP-120 fits perfectly if the Heatpipes are near the DIMM Slots ... in fact this is the only way the Heatsink will fit onto the CPU. The only thing stopping it mounting properly will be the memory and i don't think it's obstructing it as i can easilly take...
