    Amd Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego

    Mine is currently running @ 2.72 GHz with an XP-90 and a 92mm Ultra speed Panaflo. I was able to boot into Windows fine at 2.86 GHz, but failed Prime95 within 1 minute. I don't know if it was the processor though that caused the failed Prime, because I found out later that my memory didn't...

    6 hours prime, good enough?

    Alright, I ran Prime while I was at work, and just ended it a minute ago. Prime lasted 21 hours and 31 minutes. Stable at 2.72 GHz. :D Max temp reached during Prime was 52C.

    6 hours prime, good enough?

    The reason I didn't consider running while I sleep is that the fans I'm using aren't exactly the quietest, and my bed is 3 only 5 feet away. I'm not changing the fans, because I want maximum cooling potential. Yeah I guess I could let it run while I'm at work tomorrow, I'm just concerned if...

    6 hours prime, good enough?

    Now I know alot of you will say no or to run it for 24 hours, but I unfortunately don't have the time to let my computer run prime for 24 hours straight. I just primed for 6 hours and 15 minutes without any errors or warnings. I'll post my computer in and overclock. Computer: Asus A8N32...

    How do I view card temps with SLI?

    Sorry, I realized after I posted and was fighting with my computer to get things to work, that I didn't mention everything. I had 1 7900GT already installed with the 84.21 drivers, then I powered down the computer and installed the 2nd 7900GT and then enabled SLI. Once I enabled SLI, the...

    HOT Maxtor 300 GB S-ATA HD $89.99

    While off topic, Toyota is not perfect or anywhere close. I'd much rather take a Dodge or Chevy over a Toyota. And one little thing everybody should keep in mind: "Everything human made breaks"

    Title: *Official* - AsusTek A8N32-SLI Deluxe thread

    It wasn't saying "auto notify" for me, it said "add to cart":D. Perhaps Newegg sold out quickly. I'm not real worried about getting mine, it said add to cart, it appeared at the end of checkout, it was in their emails, its listed on the order status (with no mention of a problem), and my order...

    512MB 7800GTX

    LOL, so much for Nvidia paper launches being history. On a more serious note (and no I have not aligned with Nvidia, Rollo), I am building an SLI rig right now. I just ordered the motherboard, the Asus A8N32 SLI Deluexe. For the video cards, I was going to 2 x EVGA 7800GTs, but if The...

    Hard Drive Deals for week of 10/23/05

    I know Outpost.com (Fry's) ships via DHL, but what I don't know is if they require someone to be at your residence for delivery (aka signature). Does Outpost or DHL require you to be at your residence for delivery? Sorry if a little off topic, but I'm thinking about jumping on one of those...

    DEAL DEAD > Hot! SUPERBIT DVD's now $9.99 at BB

    I'm still hoping for a comprimise between the HD-DVD and Blu Ray camps. I want a single unifed format instead of two competing formats. I might be an early adopter of both. HD-DVD - I'm excited for "Resistence is futile" as a launch title (Star Trek: First Contact). Plus others. Blu Ray -...

    DEAL DEAD > Hot! SUPERBIT DVD's now $9.99 at BB

    In alot of comparison cases, yes they do tend to look better. The Fifth Element got a boost in video quality with the Superbit. Some superbits will provide better image quality, but I won't say they all will. Also, the way Sony releases their movies is that the non superbit editions only...

    R520 in September

    To the last 4 posters above me, THANK YOU. I'm glad to see others also notice how biased Rollo is. What Rollo doesn't seem to understand, is that it doesn't matter if he owns those ATI products also, his actions and words are always against ATI and for Nvidia, thats what makes him biased...

    R520 in September

    Of the two of us, who's the only one who likes to rub it in other peoples faces that they have the money to do so. I don't have as much money to waste as you, I don't need both cards because I don't have two computers. I am contemplating upgrading and have been quite tempted by Nvidia's...

    R520 in September

    Wow Rollo, great way to read my post. Did I ever mention that I had some time machine to see into the future, No. I said my opinion, opinion = speculation. No need to post after me and point that out, because all you've done now is to make it look like I absoulutely believe that with a biased...

    R520 in September

    Proof of that? I don't think Sony will stay on top in the next round, not with Microsoft making such impressive inroads in the industry and going after the Japenese market this time. Also Microsoft will have a large lead on the PS3. Halo 3 is expected to launch the same day as the PS3, to...

    ATI a takeover target?

    You know, your just like Rollo. Why don't just wait for R520 and Crossfire to come out before passing judgement, and I mean actually seperate from your bias to make that judgement (which won't happen), because by your last post you showed that you are completely biased southpawuni. And don't...

    ATI a takeover target?

    Once I saw the name of this topic, I knew that this topic would not die without Rollo chiming in shouting his pro Nvidia, anti ATI sentiment. Rollo give it a rest, just because you like Nvidia doesn't mean we all have to. I'll grant you Nvidia currently rules in performance, but don't count...

    HDTV CRT question

    Yeah 132 isn't bad at all, especially when you consider Sony makes a 40 inch CRT thats over 300lbs. My Toshiba 42 inch weighs 130 lbs, but it is rear projection, so no heavy glass. There are new slim line CRT options available out there that should be less deep and a little lighter than...

    Weird temperature jumps.

    I'm getting some really weird temperature readings for system. I built my computer a little over 2 months ago, I've got the LanParty UT NF3 250gb, a Athlon 64 3700+, using a Venus 12 HSF with fan speed at 5400RPM with AS5, and a Cooler Master Stacker case with 3 intake and 3 exhaust fans...

    ATI: Xbox 360 will outperform PS3

    I think the Xbox 360 will be more powerful. Yes the PS3's Cell Processor does look incredible, but like others have said the triple core PowerPC processor in the Xbox 360 is no slouch either. Also too I find it funny how Sony is proclaiming that the PS3 is using "future technology" while the...

    case fans

    Where can you even buy Nexus fans, or Yate Loon fans for that matter? Alot of people here on the forums keep mentioning those two brands, but I have never found an online retailer that carries either of those brands.

    AMD64 Temp Questions

    I just got my new computer up and running a few hours ago. I've got the same motherboard as the original poster. I was noticing that in my BIOS, my CPU temp was jumping around quite a bit.

    ** Official EPoX 9NDA3+ Thread ** S939

    What about not using the proper screws to go into the motherboard standoffs? I just realized I did that. Instead of using the necessary screws to screw into the standoffs, I stupidly used more motherboard standoffs to screw into the standoffs. Since I used "standoff to standoff" instead of...

    New computer, no video.

    Well, I put the video card back in and its secured properly by both hold downs, it still looks a little outwards though. I did just notice a big problem though, and I am wondering if this could be it. I used the motherboard tray standoffs like you should, but I also used more standoffs to...

    New computer, no video.

    Already tried that. When I get in in the back, I then go and push the front end in, but the back end just pops back out. I tried secruing the bracket up with the thumbscrew, to hold the large section in, but once I push the front in, the bracket finds a way to slip out from the thumbscrew and...

    New computer, no video.
