    5970 issues. Please read!

    Hey guys...I've been out of town for a few days, and finally had a chance to get back on. I'm still getting 19250, and I'm at stock clocks across the board. What other things can I try out to see if they work? Is there a chance its from the power supply? How can I test that? Thanks for your...

    dunno why it shows 1150. I never put it there. You can see the core clock at 725. The highest I ever put it was 800/1100 when I did the first, successful 3DMark run. I will have my friend run the test to see if he gets artifacts, but he won't likely be able to until sometime later this...

    Thanks for the ideas again. I'll move slots when I get a chance to crack the case open, but as I said before, the case has lots of room for breathing. The PSU I have is more than enough for my system...850W w/ a 70A rail. Seero- All of my slots are 16x Tweakboy- the computer isn't slow...

    Hey guys...thanks for the feedback. He didn't run the CCC test. If you look at the temps using the Kompressor function, it may give some insight. It shows GPU1 at 99% and GPU running at 33%? Whats that all about? It also has temperatures on it.

    Hey guys! Please read the details before you start commenting. I have a pretty nice set up (per signature) and when I finally got everything together, I ran 3DMark06 and got a score of ~26,250. (CPU @ 3.8, GPU @ 800/1100) Since then, I had some artifacting, so I brought the processor clock...

    Fan Management

    So I have a HAF-922 case, and a Rampage II Extreme MOBO. Where should I plug the fans in so that they are managed more appropriately. (ie. not running all the time). Specific advice appreciated!

    Remember the Lava tunnel and the gargoyle screensavers from ATI? Could anyone link me to where I might be able to find those now? Also, does anyone know of any other screensavers like that? Thanks in advance!

    Hanns-G HH-221HPB + HD4670

    The suggestion that I saw for the problems with sleep mode all said that you have to plug the monitor into a non-computer HDMI source and then go into the options. The odds are that your monitor is set to "video mode" and not "pc mode" Give that a shot and post back up if that works I...

    Hanns-G HH-221HPB + HD4670

    Also...When she changes over to 1680x1050, it fills up fine. Even though the native resolution for that specific model monitor is 1920x1080.

    Guitar Hero II

    hangar 18 is tough on expert simply because of the barrage of mini-solos. It took me about on hour of dedicated effort before I got it down. At least hammer-on/offs are actually doable in GHII. They were not at all in GHI.

    Gigabyte P35 Motherboard Thread

    Can anyone enlighten me as to the importance of sticking to the "memory supported list" for the p35-ds2r? Is it legit or just a deal gigabyte has with the other mfrs? If it is a serious thing, can someone recommend a good quality 2x1gb set that is supported by the mobo? (money is a factor)...

    With MSDNAA, I was looking at the website and it had XP for free? and it had some vista for free. Does that seem right? I am a student. The vista "free" download was 2.3GB which seems like it is near the right size. I think? What is the difference between vista business and vista home...
