Thanx guys, I think you guys are right. How much more FPS am I going to see by getting a C2D up to 4.0Ghz? What like 3-4 FPS in Crysis? At 1920*1200 Is that a accurate estimate of what kind of FPS I might gain by making the jump to a C2D that can hit 4.0Ghz over my E6400 @ 3.2Ghz.
I am wondering if someone can help clear up this issue for me.
I have been out of the loop as to all the different great Overclockable Intel CPU's that have been launched since the first big wave of C2D starting with the E6400-E6600 Era.
Now I am faced with a very Tuff decision, Which CPU...
Thanx for the replies.
I have a Zalman CNPS 9500, Wouldn't that work almost as well as the Tuniq Tower?
And I have a ACER 24 inch LCD, So I usually game at 1920*1200 unless the FPS drop below 30 FPS which so far even with my 9800GTX is only Crysis!
What do those E7200 Overclock too? And...
I just stepped up my 9800GTX to a GTX260 a few days ago. So EVGA hasn't shipped out my GTX260 yet. Now I see that the 9800GX2 is the same price as a GTX260, I am thinking of trying to change my Step up order before they ship out my GTX 260. Can someone please break this question down for me...
Hi all.
I am currently looking for a good idea for the most gaming performance I can get.
I just won two 1GB sticks of Corsair DDR3 1333Mhz Ram but my ASUS P5B MOBO does not support it.
So I think I will sell the DRR3 Ram along with my C2D E6400 and XEON 3070 to try and buy the Best CPU I...
Well guys, i just want to say thank you very much for your patience with my Questions. The issue wasn't that I was doing something wrong. I was hitting Control+I to get into the Matrix storage manager when the RAID jumper was set to LSI RAID config. So once I saw that is was on that I looked...
No, These drives are in a RAID array right now. I am trying desperately to delete the RAID format.
If there is a quick way to go into the BIOS without the RAID drivers then can you please tell me how for a ASUS P5M2-m Server MOBO.
I have never done this before and have been asking around for...
My problem in short is this. I have Four Hard drives that I purchased that are in a RAID Setup that I want to break or delete. But i don't have the proper Setup disks to do this. I would like to just go into the BIOS and break the RAID setup, But how is that done without the RAID Drivers...
Each of the Three Drives came a RAR'd file. So I un Rared them then copied them to the floppy. What way are you suppose to copy files of this nature?
@ Swampster
When I try to load the drivers from floppy nothing happens?
Thanx for trying to help me:)
I have been on a mission for about a week to get four 750GB Hard drives deleted or changed into regular hard drives. I have been running into issue after issue, and now a new one. I went to the ASUS support site to get the RAID drivers for my Server MOBO, I downloaded three of them to be sure...
I went into the BIOS where you said to go, And it is there and enabled already. But there is a few different sizes to pick. It was already on a 3.5 Inch drive, Can't remember the size mb size it said beside it. Will having the wrong MB size picked affect if my Floppy will work or not?
So why does it show a Floppy drive in 'My computer' When I open it up? It clearly shows that there is a Floppy drive present. And the Device manager says it is working properly too?
This small issue of Deleting a RAID setup is driving me bonkers.
I just need to get the Server running so I...
O.K. so I set "First Floppy Drive" in the Boot Order in the BIOS to be enabled. When I look on device manager it still shows the Floppy drive is there and that is functioning. But When I put a disk in nothing happens. No lights go on on the Floppy drive itself. I am unable to 'open' it from...
Yes I know how to access the BIOS. There is tons of stuff I don't understand. You have any idea where the Settings are in the BIOS?
There is lots of different Tabs that I know nothing of.
You gave me the link for my MotherBoard right? Can you tell me what to look for please?
I think I...
Not sure if I am being clear. But i am trying to get a floppy drive working on my Sig Rig. So I have no clue how to enable the settings that you are talking about.
That would be great if you could show me how to do that. I am almost at my wits end with this flippin problem.
My motherboard is...
Alright I am getting to the point of wanting to abort the whole Trying to delete the RAID setup.
I am trying to get a Floppy disk drive to work on my Sig rig to install the RAID drivers on a Floppy disk to use to Re format the RAID Hard Drives.
My Sig Rig has never had a Floppy drive...
O.k. So I downloaded the Drivers, And it came as an Iso file. I un-Rared them and got a folder which has three files inside.
1.win32_64(Regular looking folder)
2.win32_64.zip(Rar'ed file)
3.win32_64.exe(In the shape of a floppy disk)
So Do I put all three folders on or just the one that...
After looking inside to which way the RAID jumper is set, It is on the Default jumper.
I am hoping that this little piece of info might help.
So once I find the proper drivers, Can I put them on a Flash drive or Regular CD?
I have a Floppy Drive, I just don't have a floppy disk at the moment...
Thanx for the Link, I was looking on ASUS's Website but couldn't find this particular MOBO.
BTW,I want to put the XEON CPU on my ASUS P5B then put my MOBO and XEON into the Server case because it has a lot more room inside than my case. Hopefully I'll be able to Overclock it past my Current...
But how do I figure out which type of RAID is being used? The server won't load its' OS, So I an only go into the BIOS. When I did try to go into the RAID configuration it asked for the disk?
And trying to read the Screens while it is booting is very hard as the screens don't stay long enough...
When it Boots up it goes through it's little check list and shows all the hardware, I tried to hit F2 and nothing happened. So far I can get into the BIOS, Then I got into the WIN xp Install page, But windows could not detect any drives. In the BIOS it shows the Four Drives are connected and...
So I have been waiting all week to finally get these parts swapped out from this XEON Server and I ran into a big problem.
I was trying to re format the drives and Windows does not detect any drives as all?!?!
I contacted my Friend (Now a Ex Friend) who sold me this server to ask him for...
Thank you for that guide. It will help out a lot. I have been gathering all the info I can before the operation. Would really like some videos of the process?
Why can't someone make a full Movie on how to build a computer?
If anyone has anything to add, Please do, I need all the help I can...
Well call me a noob, But this is the First time I will be Changing a mobo and CPU into a new case.
I just purchased a used Server off my Friend and I will be doing a mix and match to get my ASUS P5B with a XEON 3070 into my new (Server) case. Not to forget Four 750Gb Hard Drives.
I believe...
Thanx for the reply.
Anyone know how much if any a Raid setup would boost Gaming performance? Does my ASUS P5B support a Raid setup. Because my friend is also selling his Hard drives off to me for a package deal if I want. Right now there is four 750GB Drives in raid, So I am wondering if...
Hi guys, I have a question for you guys. I have a buddy of mine who has a Intel XEON 3070 clocked at 2.66GHZ, and he is willing to sell it to me for cheap with the Mobo, An ASUS P5M2-m. So first of all, That mobo won't support my 9800GTX right?
So would getting a new MOBO that supports that CPU...
Thanx again for the heads up. I was very close to Grabbing one without thinking, Like most of my purchases LOL!
Time to saving for a new rig for Christmas.
So I just checked it out, It will cost me 55 Bucks Canadian to get a GTX260!!
I just really hope that My Psu can Overclock it when needed.
Thanx for the help guys.
I'll post back my results and benchies!
My Step up Window is almost Over, I have about 10 Days to Make a decision. I am wondering if my Coolermaster 600 Watt PSU will be enough to run a GTX280?
Here is a Link to my model number : RP-600-PCAR eXtreme Power Duo

Can someone please help me out. I am using a 'Madcats' VGA adapter to hook up my XBOX 360 to my 24 Inch Acer P243w LCD. When I go into the Dashboard to change the resolution to 1080P I was shocked to see ho bad it looked. I loaded up COD 4 and there is soooo many Jaggies. So does someone here...
I can get to 3.2Ghz, But To get than extra 100Mhz I have to really start jacking up the V.Core to around 1.5 Volts in BIOS (1.37 Volts showing in CPU-Z). Seems 3.1Ghz is the sweet safe spot for my CPU, At least till I get a better case with improved Air Flow.
Thanx for the Reply!
I bought this C2D E6400 Last January And I have been slowly adding Better things here and there. But When I first go above 3Ghz on my CPU I remember people saying I wouldn't see much more benefit trying to Overclock any higher??
Now this is a Quote from a review from OCC Website discussing a...
I have been doing a little Overclocking on my new GTX, So far with Fan on Auto Which has it running at 45% my temps are in the 65'sC during Gaming. I have only been doing some trial Overclocking to see how the temps are, At 771/1944/2200 temps seem Low. Not that I am complaining or anything. I...

If you read this thread from here from a while ago it states that the 8800 series GPU clock actually raises in increments rather than every 1MHZ. So does the 9800 GTX share the same increments??
I just got my 9800GTX and want to jump into...
To get an EVGA GTS G92 the cheapest I could find was $249.99, Then a 30 Buck MIR on top of that, So it washes out at $219.99 for a KO version. The 9800GTX was 289.99, So 70 Bucks Diff. I was off by 10 Bucks. Yes I could have got the MSI Version of the GTS and a free Game but then I can't use...
Yes I have made made a couple of Threads regarding buying a new GPU. At that point I was getting advice on which is better a 8800 gt or GTS G92?? Then I saw the GTX for another 50 Bucks and thought it's not that much more. Since I have two kids under five years in age don't all the time I...
I can't make the final decision guys. I was about to order a EVGA KO 512MB GTS for 249.00 when I saw a 9800GTX for 299.99?!?!?!?
I have read a few reviews and I don't understand why this new GTX is barely faster in gaming than the G92 GTS?
The Mem says it is 70.4 VS 64.2 GB/s, But how much...
I am in the same boat. Just got my 24 inch 1920*1200 LCD and my 8800GTS SC 320Mb Overclocked at 648/1620/900 card juts can't push Crysis worth a dam!!
I want a new GPU under 250 bucks that will better my GPU, But it looks as though my only option is a 8800 GT which will get me maybe 5 more...
I finally got my new 24 Inch Acer 1920*1200 LCD. It is very nice. But I am sure you can guess my problem. My 8800 GTS SC 320Mb GPU just can't keep up very well at max Settings on Games. I was playing COD4 last night, Everything as high as it could for in game settings, No AA, 8*AF and I was...
