    Gigabyte P35 DS3P DDR voltages

    I have set up a new system using a GA P35 DS3P with Corsair PC 6400 C4 ram which is supposed to run at 2.1 volts. Since the "standard" DDR2 volts is 1.8 - 1.9, does the motherboard automatically set the DDR volts to 2.1 with this RAM - or do I have to raise the volts in the bios (+0.2...

    XfX 8800GT temperature and fan control

    Just picked up an XFX 8800GT and installed the drivers and utils of the disk that came in the box. After running the card for about 15 - 20 minutes, I decided to check the temperature by touching the plastic covering on the heatsink - it was almost too hot to keep my finger on it. I also...

    Abit AV8 Bios

    I have just updated to an Abit AV8 Motherboard and Venice 3200+, so far it performs very well. I have conservatively overclocked the chip with a FSB of 250x10 without raising the Vcore and still using the stock AMD cooler. I will probably push it a bit further when I get a new cooler. I...

    Power Supply issues with 9NDA+ and Venice

    I am just setting up my new 9NDA3+ and 3200 Venice, but my first efforts to get the system to post were met with a small flick of the fans and FF code on the LED. I was starting with a minimal setup - Board, RAM, CPU Video card etc. I decided to try something different so I held down the...

    Cat 3.10 Driver Download

    I heard that ATI had new Catalyst drivers out, so I went to the download site at ATI and noticed the whole package is over 22MB - a bit steep for my 56k dial-up connection. The question I have is do I need to download the whole 22MB package or can I just download the "display driver" portion...

    Epox 8rda+ Bios help

    I have just upgraded my CPU to a 2500+ on my 8rda+ mobo. The upgrade worked fine at first, but then I decided to have a try at some overclocking. It went OK up to 166@12.5 - 1.8 volts, but when I tried 166@13 it would not post. No problem I thought I will just reset the cmos and all should be...

    MSI Slotket Jumper Settings

    Would anyone have the Jumper Setting details for an MS6905 Master V 2.0 slotket. I have aquired an old P600 system which I would like to upgrade, however it came with no manuals or info, so I am a bit lost. There does not seem to be any silkscreen info on the PCB so I assume there must have...

    XP compatiblity with Asus A7V133-C

    Has anyone had any success with using an Athlon XP on an older Asus A7V133-C motherboard? I have tried to upgrade my old 1Gig T/bird with an XP1800+ but I have not been able to get the computer to POST with the new CPU. I have updated (and checked) the bios to the latest version (1009) as...
