I have been using a Dell S2740L for a few weeks now and it has many merits but there is one issue I have with it where it is far too reflective. There is a company that makes filters for that which I have not tried but instead I noticed just running my fingernail along the edge that the glass...
I'm guessing you're running with 4x2GB sticks as well if this motherboard has caught your eye from an upgrade perspective. If I'm wrong though, and you are running 2x2GB, you can overclock higher. I didn't play with it too much with 2 sticks because I wasn't interested in the end result for...
Considering the cost, it has been a decent motherboard to date. I purchased it mostly for the DDR2/Thuban compatibility, power consumption, and pci-e lane allocation. My intention was to purchase a new video card (16x slot) and use my existing 8800GTS 512 (4x) for PhysX which I probably will...
Narrowed it down to a dying power supply. Using an Antec Earthwatts 500 from a Sonata II case and its stable once again. Fluctuations weren't evident using a normal volt meter or on board monitoring.
Hi,
I believe this belongs more in this forum (motherboard) although correct me if I'm wrong. Currently my ASRock A785GXH/128 fails to boot and intermittently post if I change the Overclock mode from anything else than normal, even if the frequencies are left at or below stock.
I...
You would almost think that people would be trying that with their current Phenoms and reporting the impact. Currently I cant get my hands on one to test it out. Even if I could, I'ld have to buy another motherboard/ram to support it. A 2.4ghz Phenom for $200 w/no L3 may not just be my dream...
I hope you're taking it in babysteps, ie boosting it 5mhz at a time, benchmarking/stability testing as you go. Benchmarking can be incredibly useful as when you can notice when your results start to drop long before you often see stability issues. Its because your system is compensating for...
I do not know the specifics of that motherboard but I believe you're going to hit the bus limitation of those chips. You should keep the HTT Close to stock, ie 1000mhz, or 200x5. If you boost the HTT to 250, then its 250x5, which is 1250. Try reducing the multiplier if you can in the bios to...
Seems peculiar to me as well. As I recall most of the K8 chips did not benefit greatly from L2 cache due to the low latency/high bandwidth hypertransport bus & integrated memory controller. I figured that being on the same die,using the same bus alone they would scale quite well without the...
Has anyone managed to find any benchmarks of a Phenom or Barcelona compared to the same configuration with the L3 cache disabled? I'm really curious what sort of performance benefit if any is provided in real world applications, more so in the gaming/encoding and perhaps maya. This is mostly...
I would like to extract the most performance possible, but I'm as concerned about increased latencies or lower memory speeds, more so whether it will affect my maximum HT overclocks, and therefor CPU overclock. Since I have a fairly low multiplier (9) on my opteron 165, I do not want to go any...
Hi,
I currently have an ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 that I am planning on replacing with an Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe.
My first question is, does anyone have their or other's typical overclocks with all 4dimms populated(assuming it would be CMD-1T)? So far, nearly every review site only reviews the...
Not the ultimate problem, for V-sync it can be enabled not only in-game, but also in your display settings and 3d settings as well(depending on drivers sometimes differing for ogl/d3d, also some have profile managers for each game). I don't have any nvidia installations here right now, so I...
Often people have troubles when they start pushing their memory to its limits that their games are starting to run slower, in your case I find that highly doubtful.
Can you get the peak or max temperatures for your cpu/video? Speedfan should work for the CPU atleast. If you can get your...
I like the Bose=Crap in your signature, YOyoYOhowsDAjello. I cannot believe how many people believe advertising over actually listenning to the product prior to purchasing it. It frustrates me how much loyalty is garnered towards a specific product just because the purchaser invested their...
