And keep in mind the importance of cooling. With my water cooling system my chip runs extremely cool. 3.6ghz@1.55 after vdroop is factored in doesn't worry me for 24/7 use. I have run tons of voltage to an old Barton core in another water cooled machine for 24/7 use for 3 years or so...It is...
Rigging a power supply bad news? Naaaa....suprisingly easy really. I cut up an old 20pin atx connector because I noticed it was keyed to fit the extra four pins that are usually covered up with the little gray cap. I then extraced four of the pins from my second PCI Express power cord and...
OK, I am trying to decide if I have a screwy board and should RMA it. The hightest stable FSB I can run in 355. I have tried the following...
It is stable at 8x355=2840, so I know the processor is good up to there.
I am running Corsair XMS 6400 (2x512) that I have tested up to 830 with no...
OK, that is what I get for not watching what I am typing. My Core is at 360 and Mem is at 330. Sorry for the confusion. Yea, I would have been pretty psyched to get my memory to 360! Not sure what the limit on this card is yet, those were just my first setting and I have not pushed it any...
Got mine last night. Very nice card for the money. Installed it, cranked the core up to 360 and the memory to 425 with no problems. I figured this to be about 95% the speed of the 9800pro for 66% of the price. Good catch whoever found this one first. Oh, mine has the Infineon ram.
Well, since this thread is still drawing post, I have a little info to add. Since I last posted, I have tried a Geforce 4 4200 and a ATI Radeoon 9000. Both worked much better than my TnT 2 card. The ATI was a my favorite, but the GF4 did just about as well. The text under both cards is very...
McCarthy, I have to say the 9700 pro was the best by far. The ATI Radeons mostly seem to do TV encoding on the chip. Some of the ATI cards had a "Rage Fury" theater chip that some people swear by. With the ATI 9700 pro I got full screen with no real ajustments. I was using the 3.2 Catalyst...
Wow, this got hot again all the sudden. Well, since the last post I have gotten my hands on a few cards so I have a little base to compare.
The first up is my TNT2 that I was complaining about in the first place. It has gotten better, but it still is not great. It looks ok, but is not very...
Good news, or so I think. I tracked down the PNY Geforce 3 ti200 I sold to a friend about a year ago. He said it has the Conexeant chip that I am looking for.
I am going to borrow it on Sunday and see what I think. I may just get him a new Geforce 3 and switch with him.
I would do it...
Guspaz, I have looked at the ATI 8500 and the doggle. I emailed ATI but have not heard back on that one yet. Searching on the web for that answer is a mixed bag. Good idea, I will have to persue it.
I am not necessarily looking for a "cheap" card, but I don't want to spend more than $100 for...
Guspaz, I think I may be confused, but I go through most of my life that way, so I am used to it. I mostly do not want to go to the RGB output, I just want S-video out of the card. I have looked a little bit at the ATI doggle, but it mostly comes on much higher dollar cards. I am very tempted...
Good suggestions, but I don't want to mess with the composite connection. My TV has that on one of the inputs at least. It is not a high dollar tv, just a regular 32", but I want the best picture out of the car possible. While I am not opposed to driver hacks and the like, I don't want to do...
Thanks again Gonad, I am glad to hear that I am on the right track and that it is worth the extra effort. I think will have to look into the ati 9000 a little more.
On a side note, I got looking through my drawer of broken bits, and I drug out an old Geforce 2 MSI card with TV out. Of course...
I like the 8500, and it has its fans for TV out, but for the most part it is not a favorite. The speed of the 4200 is not really a big deal to me. I had a Geforce 3 ti200 (of course, I did not check what I thought of the TV out at the time) and a 4200 (same, no idea about the TV out). I am...
Gonad, thanks for the comments. That certainly gives me pause. Do you have any other suggestions? The one with the Conexect chip, how was the TV out?
Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to get a card with Conexect TV out?
Man, this is really getting to be more of a quest than I would...
