the ultimate "do i need a 24pin PSU ?" thread

Under heavy SLI gaming conditions my rig would shut down in less than 5 minutes, just as if I pressed the power off button during the game. Now keep in mind these shutdowns were not system crashes or BSOD's, because there were 0 errors in the event logs. When I built both my rigs I did lots of...

*** Official GIGABYTE K8NXP-SLI nForce4 Thread ***

Ok I installed the 6.53 NFORCE drivers right over the 6.39 drivers with no probs. Note* I had huge probs when I selected the the Nvidia IDE drivers with the gigabyte board. I cant really explain why but there was an issue with data rate modes and all hard drives on IDE would revert to PIO mode...

*** Official GIGABYTE K8NXP-SLI nForce4 Thread ***

The stix i used were tracer ram w/leds. Heat was never an issue just the spacing. It looked really stupid and stressed the ports. If worst comes to worst just use 2 stix=problem solved no performance gain or loss. If you are anything like myself you wont have the knack for waiting any longer...

Unfortunately this seems to be the only real setback for this board. When i installed all 4 512 stix it was just too tight so i pulled 2 of them. I've since obtained an ASUS SLI Board and the mem spacing is a lot more accomadating. Thats not to say it's a better board by no means. I still use...

Anytime weshuang, you'll really like that board. SIL, you wont see in device mngr. if you dont have the drivers loaded or if you have SIL disabled in bios. I prefer to just disable SIL, Really of no use unless you have a bunch of SATA HDD's.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Wrong!!!!!!!!!! Putting it on SIL wil cause you perfomance loss due to the data has to travel the PCI bus. On the Nvidia ports it operate straight off the chip no PCI bus involved. Hence better, faster data transfer.

gigabyte sli ... sata xp loop when installed

Yeah the simple way to make sure is to go back into bios on reboot then select the hard drive as the boot device or if that doesnt help then disable everthing except the hard drive in bios boot config. Either way you still must enable the hard drive to boot first in the bios HDD config.

Chicago (IL) - Gigabyte will announce Friday a graphics card running two graphics processors on one board. According to sources, the SLI card will lift current 3DMark2003 record levels by a significant margin while being priced lower than ATI's and Nvidia's single-GPU high-end cards.

The key word here folks is "pre-order" If you read my post you will see, I said this is the only store thats shipping that board no "pre-order" meaning it can be in your greedy lil hands by the end of this week. now you see thats why the price is what it is.

It is my understanding that the AMD FX-55 & 4000 939 pross. were very slow to come to market and the availability was slim to none and the mobo makers didnt want to get stuck holding a bunch of hardware late in the quarter. Now AMD has reassured the mobo makers that the chip is plentiful and...
