    K8N Neo2 Bios v1.3 CPU Voltage?

    Easy, You set your [Adjust CPU VID] to lets say 1.425v, your [CPU Voltage] to, lets say Over VID 3.3%. What you get is: 1.425 + [(3.3x1.425)/100] = 1.425+0.047025 that's roughly 1.472 volts keep in mind that this board undervolts the VID by almost 0.1v (if i find the link where that got...

    Best 6800 Ultra available today: Who reigns supreme?

    I guess nobody has taken a look at XFX , here's a review of it. Quote:"We managed to overclock the XFX GeForce from its default clock speeds up to 462/1200MHz, which isn't too bad when you consider that the reference clock speeds for the standard GeForce 6800Ultra are 400/1100MHz - we're...

    Itanium's MASSIVE Heat Sink

    I guess this is a dual chip heatsink not a single one, no cpu will rest under that groove in the middle. It could be made for two cpus side by side where their center levels at the screw holes.

    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum not booting to XP

    Just in case you didn't use this way: Try connecting only the CDRW to the IDE2(master) dont use the DVD and your WD to the IDE1(master) and take a shot with WinXP! or try the opposite (using only the DVDROM as secondary master) good luck cheers :)

    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Dual Channel Problems *UPDATE*

    dimm1/dimm2? shouldn't it be dimm1/dimm3 or dimm2/dimm4? like same color dimms? anyway i hope am wrong. did you check the tables in the MSI's Neo2 page ? maybe it's newer then the manual. Good luck

    Is the x800xt - pe worth it?

    NCIX are running short of 6800GTs and every high end videocard... and they're not restocking fast enough! add to this that prices (on videocards that is) fluctuate esp for the BFG 6800GT...( i canceled my order after 23 days of waiting and false promises) One videocard that caught my attention...

    P4 Overheating

    There's one detail that many don't pay attention to: The space between the mobo and the case's wall is a real heat trap! so if you don't have good airflow in the case and even if you open the side facing the mobo+cpu+all the gang, there's still heat beeing trapped behind the mobo and the...

    radeon overclocking problem---------->

    Memory on a videocard has latencies and voltages applied to it just like RAM in a mobo. All these variables are set in the videocard's BIOS and/or circuitry. So even if a memory is rated 3.3ns capable of running(1000/3.3=~303Mhz) it depends on whatever the setting is in the BIOS. If the 8500LE's...

    are raptors supposed to be loud?

    Well if it makes those sounds (crackling noise) while the HDD activity LED is blinking in synch with the noise then it's normal. Yes they are loud compared to a seagate :)

    Buying a hard drive tomorrow. Which one? Poll included

    Futureshop has some mail rebate on WD 120GB link Seagate is also a good choice, NCIX has some good prices. At this level i guess price is the only variable to consider (apart from warranty) :)

    MSI K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030) Hangs at BIOS

    Try switching dimms then boot and test every configuration. i had the same problems with a corsair XL 512MB in dimm 2 switched it to dimm1 and no more problems what so ever. K8N is very picky when it comes to ram size and dimms choice

    Athlon 3400+ or 3500+

    Tested both 3400 and 3500 and kept the 3400... with the price difference you can get something else and the performance difference is not really there. but with second generation mobos we could expect a performance gain from the 939. a noticable gain, something we feel and see not just some...
