    ASUS EAH4850/HTDI/512M Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16

    The ASUS has fan control out of the box and does not need any editing of profile or BIOS flash for the same like other manufacturer's cards so. There are basically no difference in the cards right now as all of them are reference designs. So, go ahead and order :)

    4850 crashes Assassin's Creed?

    Is it only AC ? Did you try 3DMark 06 just in case ? Friend had a similar issue where Crysis, 3DMark 06 kept crashing. The only thing that helped was a complete OS reinstall :P Working absolutely fine after that. Oh, btw he did move from a NV card (8800GTX).

    Will not boot at 300+ FSB, DFI nf4 Ultra-D

    Oh yeah. Way to go !! Nice OC !!! Get the NB47J and use a 40mm fan on the side. That would be just great.

    Asus a8n-e..

    Strange - Just 221. Check if the floppy disk is enabled in the BIOS coz' disabling that causes some issues with OC'ing. Also set the HTT Multi to 4x manually. And why have u pumped so much volts already ? Go back to 1.40v and start giving more volts only if needed.

    Six months and I haven't made my computer

    Whatever has happened, has happened. Don't live in the past. Don't keep thinking whether to buy or not. U'll most prolly end up not buying or wait for a new tech to arrive and keep waiting. Get the following NOW : X2 3800+ - $323...

    ASUS A8R-MVP stable @325MHz HTT

    U have to do something abt the OS. Using the same OS would mean that device drivers from the old MOBO would still be present. Same happened to me when I got my A8N-E. I completed the rig late in the night and was feelin' lazy to install the OS. Tried installing the drivers and started using the...

    Asus a8n-e..

    Using A64 will not affect ur Memory speed during boot up. A64 affects the memroy speed only after u log into Windows and change the setting. I've been using the 183 divider for quite sometime now and have never experienced any issues.

    Help with OC on my a8n-sli deluxe

    Then it should be the memory that is the culprit here. Since urs is Value RAM, it may not do 240 MHz. So its better to use the 333 MHz divider and raise the FSB a few notches ( till u hit a wall ) so that the RAM runs at its rated 200 MHz. U could also try to find the limit of ur RAM. Reduce the...

    HELP going crazy try to OC A8N-E

    Go To Advanced ----> CPU Configuration ------> DRAM Settings (or) Configuration (not exactly sure if its Settings or Config). That's where the MEM timings and speeds are.

    Asus A8N-E Pci Lock Problem

    Then try the Auto setting and up the FSB by maybe just 5~10 MHz and check if the PCI bus speed increases or not. Also make sure that the Floppy Drive is enabled in the BIOS coz' this board seems to have an issue with OC'ing and the floppy drive disabled.

    OMG I screwed up my 3000 venice

    Same problem that I had. This happened twice to me - No boot and long beeps. The problem, that I found during the second time this came up was that my ASUS StarIce cooler wasn't properly seated. I removed everything, cleaned the thermal paste, applied fresh paste and used my stock HSF and it...

    Asus A8N-E Pci Lock Problem

    U'll have to set the PCI clock to 33.33 in the BIOS. Go to Advanced ----> JumperFree Configuration and under that the last option would be the one for the PCI bus. U'll have 3 options - 1. Auto 2. To CPU and 3. 33.33. Change it to 33.33 and ur good to go. It's the PCI-E bus which is...

    Best non-SLI motherboard offering dual-core support?

    The ASUS A8N-E or the MSI K8N Neo4 would be the ideal choice for ya since u say that ur not gonna OC. These boards also offer good OC options though not like the DFI's. The MSI has Firewire and has Creative Onboard which are added bonuses. @RampantAndroid, Am an Indian, pal. Pls. do realize...

    Can you run 2 pairs of RAM in Dual Channel mode?

    Nah. If I remember right, only the DFI RDX 200 and the Expert series boards handle 4 sticks of RAM at 1T.

    really STRANGE A8N-E Overclocking problem

    Hmmm... Same thing happened here. Was running a 3000+ Venice E3 at 256*9 (2304). Had to revert back to stock for some reason (Not sure what !). After that when I tried to OC it by taking the FSB directly to 256, it simply refused to go past the logo screen. Then tried backing it down to 240 -...

    Can CPU-Z tell you what stepping the CPU is?

    Yes. That does mean that its a E3 core. But the only way to get the stepping is to remove the CPU. No S/W will be able to read that of the CPU.

    Possible MOBO issue.

    I had the exact same problem with AoE III. The comp did not restrt but the game would crash to the desktop and that was the exact error message that I got. So I deleted those files and played again and I had no problems. Kept clearing the Local Settings/Temp folder on every startup and this...

    Asus a8n-e..

    Are u saying that u're not able to change the HTT multi at all or that a change to HTT 3 does not have any impact ? The following happened to me after I updated the BIOS a few months back ( Abt. 2~3 ) - Not sure which BIOS. ASUS Probe started showing the HTT at 920 when I set the FSB to 230 and...

    Sapphire PURE Innovation or Asus A8R-MVP

    Well, the ASUS board has been reviewed at AT and its been a complete head-turner when it comes to performance. As AT put it, a mainstream board which performs like a high-end, all frills board. Get the ASUS. I wouldn't buy the Sapphire just coz' its fancy. U can do a lot to make ur rig look...

    3000+ Venice OCing

    Can u actually go to a shop and see the stepping and buy it ? If so, u will be able to select the chip. If ur buying online, then its a gamble. Try to get ur hands on this one : ADA3000AA4BP ( Venice ) and the stepping : LBBLE 0531 *PAW.

    Recent 3200+ E3 Venice OC-ing

    How abt loosening the timings for the memory ? Maybe 3-3-3-8. But don't compromise by changing to 2T from 1T. That would be a big loss especially when on an A64.

    Need CPU advice ASAP please

    Get the 3000+ and OC it. But it all depends on the stepping that u get. 0531 seems to be good as of now. If u don't wanna take the chance, get the 3200+ which will give u 200 MHz extra and also the 10x multiplier and will OC to 2.3~2.4 even if u get a bad stepping.

    How to know if the processor is a venice?

    Shouldn't it be ADA3000AA4BP for the 3000+ and ADA3200AA4BP for the 3200+ ? Coz' I bought Venice for 2 of my friends and that's the way I identified the core. Both of them were indeed Venice cores as identified by CPU-Z.

    LTD bus frequency

    That's the same as HTT - Hyper Transport Frequency. Well, this might be the answer to ur OC issues. Try setting this to 800 or even 600 and increase the FSB. See what happens.

    Computer will not post when trying to lock PCI Express

    Use the nTune utility. It will let u know the exact frequency the PCI-E lane is running at. U could also use Clockgen which can be downloaded from www.cpuid.com.

    Do I need some kind of AMD X2 driver for my X2 system?

    What MOBO do u have ? Just make sure that the MOBO has the necessary BIOS to recognize the dual cores. U should not have any problems fitting the X2 in the rig and get it going but if the BIOS does not support dual cores, then only one core would be seen by the OS. Install the X2, update the...

    533 MHz FSB CPU on a 800 MHZ FSB MOBO ???

    I need to know if it is possible to use a 533 MHz FSB Skt. 478 P4 on a MOBO with 800 MHz FSB support like the ASUS P4GD1 or the P4P800-VM. My friend is planning to get a new MOBO this week. Need to suggest him a good MOBO. ( Any suggestion on choice of MOBO r welcome.)
