(Sorry I posted this x2 in other ofrums, but prob the wrong one)
Hey guys,
New to the forums... I built my 2nd PC and (my sig shows the details)... My first mobo was a gigabyte k8n pro sli... and I had a few problems as far as trying to OC at all (just raising the FSB only would get me to 2.68...on a FX60!).. I went with the A8N32-SLI Deluxe and used the AI nos (10% OC when needed) and things ran fine... (3D mark 06 hit 7100ish, and showed my FX60 @2.8ish) then... I read about coolbits... I ran the detect settings, it set me at 516ish/1.5ish, I selected (run at startup) re-booted, and tried to run fear, locked-up =/... re-booted again, and tried DoD source, -same problem lock-up. I set it back to no OC, and rebooted, all games ran fine....Except... the graphics looked" i alil diffrent, I can't be sure as all settings are maxed as far as they can go... and through the installs and new mobos... I hadn't played for a bit. The 7800's idle at 46c and peak at 56ish under load, this is from running fear/DoD and alt-tabbing to the nvidia desktop temp... seeemed a lil hot... I guess what i'm wondering is, with my setup.. am i running about right? Did i possibly damage the gpu's? and what can I check to make sure everything is running right? at the end of the night, my cpu (ctrl-alt-del) was running at 50%-60% with nothing running- was a weird spike in cpu use... I shut down, and everything was normal this morning... but only ran the system for 5 mins... any suggestions/comments would really help!!
Thx in advance!
