New Overclocking Method Question???

I have a friend who starting to investigate a new method of overclocking and needs some newbie help (I do not overclock, so can't help him out). He wants to know how hot a heatsink generally gets when overclocking (obviously there is a range, but he just wants an approximate value)? Also, how...

nForce Mobo choices

I have the Abit NV7-133R nForce 415-D board and am very happy with it. The Abit easily comes with the most features of any nForce board (USB 2, Highpoint 133 Raid, Optical Audio in and out, etc.). My system is packed - Athlon 2000+, two 512 sticks of OCZ RAM, one 120G WD HD (with 8meg...

iRiver IMP-350 Portable MP3/CD Player

Glad to be of service Rude Boie. If anybody is hesitating to get this thing - don't. It is not perfect (nothing is), but I am pretty sure you will be happy with it. A lot of thought went into this device (more than I can say about most products). For instance, I just found out today that you...

How to Check HD Cache??? - What Program?

A couple of months ago I bought a WD1200 drive from Outpost ($200 after $100 rebate deal) - it was supposed to be the WD1200BB (with 2mb cache), but instead I received a drive which says WD1200JB (which usually denotes the 8mb cache). I heard that a lot of other people got the same - really...

iRiver IMP-350 Portable MP3/CD Player

Just got it on Friday, so I can't give you a good review yet. But... #1 - the Remote is the coolest thing in the world - Nicely (secure) plugs into the unit (which is thin) and has a perfect length cord to the remote. The LCD is very high resolution and a cool blue backlight. Fantastic amount...

Abit NV7-133R nForce Sound Question

jchenn, thanks for all of the info - glad everything is up and running. Funny thing, I am planning to run the same RAID setup as you (with the WD1200JBs). What stripe size are you using and how is it partitioned? Have you tried multiple stripe sizes? There is a great thread on this in the...

Abit NV7-133R nForce Sound Question

BTW, I just wanted to mention that while the ASUS board has an RCA SPDIF out as opposed the Abit's Toslink optical SPDIF out (I have always believed that optical is better anyway), the Abit board has a digital input as well - the Asus board does not. I am going to buy a professional audio...

Abit NV7-133R nForce Sound Question

Answers!!! + a few more questions. I did a little research and figured out how the sound on the NV7-133R works. Here we go: The AC-Link described on the Abit website is a standard protocol (AC'97, Audio Codec Specification) which connects a South Bridge (like the nVidia MCP-D) and a Codec...

ASUS A7N266-C (nForce 415-D Chipset)

koneill - What nVidia sound upgrade are you talking about? I haven't heard of it; could you give some more information. The board comes with an ACR card, right? Is the upgrade just better digital/analog converters?

Need Suggestions for Fan on AX-7

I know that there are many threads with this question already, but I would like some clearer suggestions as well. I'm not going to be overclocking but am going to be running the CPU pretty hard - building a Digital Audio Workstation and therefore need a quiet solution as well that keeps my CPU...

Abit NV7-133R nForce Sound Question

tboo - Thanks for that thorough desciption of the NV7-133R; very much appreciated. It isn't widely distributed yet, and people are just getting the first boards; things should iron out over time (it is pretty suspicious, however, that the abit.com.tw site has been down all weekend - they are...
