Hi, my laptop is equipped with a Geforce 8400M G video card, wich is essencially equal to the 8400M GS, with the same 16 stream processors, but with only 4 ROP's instead of the 8 of the GS.
I wondered if the G is really made only with 4 ROPs or if it's a GS with half of the ROPs disabled...
Thanks for your replies. I had already upped the memory and fsb voltages, but that doesn't help either.
Given your oppinions, I think I won't buy the Thermalright and stick with my Big Typhoon.
I will probably leave it at 3.0ghz, originally I wanted more because I didn't want to see my new...
Hi,
I have a B3 stepping Core 2 Quad Q6600 running on a Asus P5B-E with a Thermaltake Big Typhoon.
I've tried a lot of various different overclocking settings, but I would need some advice to choose the best one. Here are the stable settings I managed to find so far:
3.0ghz @ 1.400v -...
Hi,
I had a Sapphire x1950pro Ultimate Silent and wanted to trade it for a superior performance card. I was about to buy a 8800GTS 320mb for around 270$ when I found a 7950 GX2 for just 150$.
It felt it was a deal too good to let it pass, so I bought it. Besides the obvious lack of DX10...
In fact it's not that L&C, but rather a german-based (I think) company called LC Power that is well-known in Europe for its quality and reliability.
Actually, I've found that it surprisingly is more powerful than some 650W from other cheaper brands. For example, my 550W-only PSU has a total...
Hi,
I have a 550W LC Power PSU serving my PC. It has 18A in the 12v rails.
Untill now I was running without problems my PC with the following specs:
Core 2 Quad Q6600 (B3) @ 3.33 GHz
ATI Radeon x1950 Pro
2x Samsung 400gb SATA-II in RAID-0
But now I've sold the x1950Pro and got a...
His motherboard is the popular Asrock 775Dual-VSTA. Given the budget, perhaps I should buy him a 65nm Cedar Mill, because he really doesn't want to spend more than 60$ on the CPU.
Hi.
My brother's PC has a P4 630 (3.0 GHz) Prescott with 2 mb L2 cache. Since he complains a lot about the high temperatures, I thought it could be a good idea to switch it for a Celeron D 356 (3.33 GHz).
First of all, the Celeron is made on 65nm technology whereas the P4 is made in 90nm...
Hi,
My computer has two Hitachi 7K160 (the 1-platter sibbling of the 7K500) SATA-II drives in RAID 0 configuration. It provides top-notch performance (in the 7200rpm realm, only the new 7K1000 in RAID 0 beats it) and I'm very satisfied with it, but now I need more disk space.
I wonder if...
Hi there,
I've got an annoying problem since I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on my PC. When I insert a USB flash pen, or other device that usually doesn't require any drivers (at least it's how it worked in XP), it asks me for a driver. I tell him to search automatically for a driver to...
Sorry, it was a typo, the actual voltage is 1.4625v. I tried with 1.4750 and above and it still had the same problem. I guess it's the problem is not in the CPU, because it can go up to 3.47 GHz and I suspect that with high-end memory it could go even further.
Should I spend 8$ on RAM...
Hello,
I've got an E6300 on an Asus P5B-E motherboard and an aftermarket cooling solution, a Thermaltake Big Typhoon (coupled with a more efective fan than the original one). I used to have 1gb of DDR-2 800 A-Data Vitesta RAM, wich could only clock up to 429 MHz (858 DDR), so my overclock was...
Hi there.
I've got a Gigabyte GA-8I945P-G motherboard, based on the Intel 945P chipset. I've a Pentium D 915 CPU (2.8 GHz) overclocked stable at 4.0 GHz, and 1 DIMM of DDR-2 SDRAM 667 MHz.
My problem is: if I set the memory divider to 1.5 (memory working at 430 MHz), everything works...
Hi there. I've got a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 SATA-150 non-ROHS compliant 300 Gb hard disk, model 6B300S0. The drive doesn't work because the PCB is damaged (has a burned chip).
I've searched for a PCB for my hard disk, but I couldn't find one for my exact drive. However, I found PCBs for 2...
Hi there,
Some days ago my computer started to behave strangely when playing videos, especially high-res DivX full motion video. Sometimes it slows down and delays the playback, or even locks for a few seconds before resuming normal playback. It's behaving as if the CPU is too busy or not...
Hi there, I'm about to buy a video card on eBay today to replace my Geforce 6800 and I have these two options:
Geforce 7600 GT:
Pros:
- It's a new card, not an used one
- It's a more modern card and supports Shader Model 3.0
- It draws less power than the X850 XT
Cons:
- Not as fast...
