I know I'm gonna get yelled at but I play more game on the PS3. My current desktop is working for me with games on all low settings. I have a amd phenom x4 3.6ghs 8 gb of memory. My brother gave me a ati 4870. It is working for all my needs and I figure a $100 gpu will give it a boost later...
Hi, I have a desktop but would like to a laptop. It has been so long since I upgraded my computer and I'm about 7 years since an upgrade. I'm looking for a laptop which I can play games like Star Wars the old republic or skyrim. Don't new to be ultra resolution. I need something that will help...
what I'm thinking is here is another dumb ars trying to get something out of his own mistake. Blowing out his card trying to OC it. We can sue anyone for anything but can they win is the question. I had cards blow out but I just purchased a new better card. Ati can send them refurbished...
Put very well. I look into purchasing a new PSU later in the year. Will just have to live with it for now.
It did not help with the side off. Didn't test the fan blowing on the psu.
My Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P did not work. I have the F4 bios installed, the F3 bios did not work also. Anyone know if the F2B bios worked to unlock? Where would I find a working F2B or F2 bios?
Did you read at the top of my post that I check if the card was making all the fan noise and it is NOT making the noise. What I did was enable the ATI overclock in the CCC and turned the fan on high and then turned it all the way down so i can not hear the fan on load. That is when I...
The PSU was very quiet when I had my x850xt installed. Temp are a little higher with the 4870. My case is an older one and did not have a seasonic installed. I would not have purchased a new PSU if I had a seasonic.....
Thanks, I'll be looking into a higher PSU in a few months. My hard drive is a first gen Sata and it's scores like a 3 in Windows 7 performance so I'm going to upgrade my HD then PSU. Anyone have a recommendation on the PSU?
I found a F2B driver, can someone tell me if this is the driver to use so I can see if my 4th core is working? How dependable are the bios from this site. Since my board has dual bios. If I load a nonworking bios, will the second bios kick in and fix the main bios? Any gigabyte people...
Okay so the good news is my temps look good.

My loudest part is my Corsair 550VX, anyway to keep it quiet. My guess is when I game, it's...
anyone know if I can downgrade my bios to an older edition so i can try and unlock my 4th core. The batch numbers looks like i should have a working 4th core.
For my gigabyte board I did not have an ACC option with the F3 Bios but when upgrading to the F4 bios the option was available. I guess my bios has disabled the 4th core sad. but the board still rocks. If I can install a bios that would work , that would be great. All try the ACC set to all...
I just picked up a gigabyte board and i will never buy asus again lol. the board is heavy with 2 oz copper. I just enabled the ACC to auto and the 4th core did not show up. In the bios under the ACC setting, I can see the 4 cores and options are Auto, Per core. This means I have a proc with...
What do you think about this board? I would like to try and open the 4th core can it be done on the board? If the 4th core works I'm game if not I'm still happy with the cpu. How stable is gigabyte, i have been using asus for a very long time now. Bios stable...
My mom's computer MB died so I'm going to upgrade mine and give her my 2 month old board. What board do you all recommend? I have a PII 720 BE and 4 gb of ddr800 and a 4870 i may upgrade to xfire not sure.
Thanks!
never heard of a killer NIC.... Just wanted to know if the onboard sound and nic would take away from my cpu and if it would be better if i use pci card for that and shutdown the onboard items.
I use the onboad nic and sound, will my performance improve while gaming if i install a soundcard and a nic and shut off the onboard items? If so by much of a improvement? I run a asus m3a78-em board PII x3 BE with 4 gb HD 4870 1gb.
I can hear it but not as bad as if the room is quiet. My case is kinda quiet and I was just worried that I'm taxing my PSU to much because of the new card. My old card was a x850 xt.
I upgraded my card to a 4870 and when I game , the computer PUS fan fires up pretty high. Making my silent puc sounding like a low hire dryer. It could be that my computer is super quiet.
I have a Corsair VX 550w and the Sapphire 4870 vapor card. My case is a Lian-li A05B so the PUS is...
That is a nice price, I usually purchase from newegg. Is that store trusted? If it is I'll be ordering my new card asap.
That site is charging me 45, next day shipping to hawaii or 35 for ground lol.
i have a BS -03 that is blowing air on to my current card. I switched it from exhaust to intake. The card will have air comming from the out side I have a 120mm fan blowing on to my cpu and the BS 03 120mm fanblowing on to the videocard area. I figure I have the cooling down. I have a PC...
Hey AstroManLuca
The game will not matter much, don't care. Does the card run cool? What are your temps? I have a smaller case so I would like quiet and cool. The x850xt is pretty quiet, turned the fan down but it's a hot card running around 50 on idle and 80 on games.
just as a test, I setup my case
1200 bs-03 intake blowing on the NB and gpu
800 blowing on the cpu
1200 exhaust.
My temps
CPU 48 load
core's around 32 load
NB 38 load
I'm going to try out 2x 1200 intake and the 800 exhaust and check the temps.
