Weird issues with an asus v9999 6800

Even on stock clocks without anything unlocked, it seems like it just loses power after a while...this time it happened when i was scanning for artifacts in atitool. Came back after half an hour, and noticed that the spinning cube fps had reduced quite a bit. Booted up 3dmark05 and it could...

Weird issues with an asus v9999 6800

sorry for neglecting to mention this, but my power supply is an antec smartpower 2.0 350W- i was under the impression this was more than enough, what with 25amps on the 12V rail and all, however could this be the issue? Its kinda strange that the card would work fine for a while then suddenly...

Weird issues with an asus v9999 6800

Hey all, i pretty recently picked up a geforce 6800 to breathe some life into my aging maching. I hastily installed it after uninstalling my old catalyst drivers, downloaded and installed the latest forcewares and loaded it up. Seems like i was given a dodgy card because the VGA-output...

Problems with overclocking the athlon XP 2500+

PROBLEM SOLVED!!! Turns out that i had my pair of ram sticks in the 2nd and 3rd dimm slots- putting them in the 1st and 2nd slots afforded the added stability, and now i can boot with FSBs in excess of 185mhz! I wish the motherboard manual mentioned that ram sticks should go in the first...

Problems with overclocking the athlon XP 2500+

Also, i highly doubt its an issue of the northbridge getting too hot- i changed my case and added the 7000B which dramatically decreased ambient case temps (better exhaust, and the 7000B helps to cool the northbridge), however NO change in overclocking performance, at all... [EDIT] Also...

Problems with overclocking the athlon XP 2500+

Hi all, i recently began wanting to overclock my CPU FSB a bit further (perhaps to increase general and gaming performance). Anyway, at the moment its clocked at 12.5 x 178mhz (2225mhz) with a Vcore of 1.675V (up from 1.65V in order to run prime95 stable for 4+ hours) All in all, i can say...

New 6800 giving problems

hmm...looks like the pics don't convey the flaw... anyway, just visualize white streaks coming out of every letter to the right, and black flickering- not to mention a darker overall tone

New 6800 giving problems

Hey all, i come to you in a time of great need... Well, yesterday i picked up a "new" v9999 asus 128mb 6800 AGP from a store quite far away (only one having stock). With it i purchased a vf700-alcu, so before installing the card in my system i installed the zalman heatsink/fan on it- the...

X800GTO2

Sorry if this has been answered, but what exactly is the impetus from ATI/sapphire's point of view to sell $350+ parts for $200? Is it that big a deal that they get rid of excess inventory before the r520 hits? Sounds to me like it would be counterproductive, anyway- those in the market for a...

Gigabyte 3D Aurora Aluminum Case

hmm, i'm trying to decide between this, the antec p160 and the thermaltake shark for a new computer case. In my opinion, the shark wins aesthetically-wise, however i'm concerned not only about the lack of filtering for the side panel (honeycomb vents would allow a great deal of dust in), but...

Planning for a major overhaul...

The issue with getting a 7800GT is that, will a 350W power supply support it? The retailer i like to shop at (link above) has a deal where when buying a 3000+ and a 7800GT in conjunction, both are discounted, however im wary that it may be too much for my antec psu, in which case ill have to...

Planning for a major overhaul...

hmm, well, according to intel (at the recent tradeshow), single core processors will be phased on next year, opening it up for dual cores. I'd rather have this upgrade last me a couple of years, so i figure i might aswell go dual core now. I'm pretty sure the stock x800 is superior to x800GT...

Hi all, i come to you with a query. Recently my computer has been acting up a bit- ive been getting lockups and crashes from source-engine games (halflife 2, hl2dm) sporadically- for example, one time i may get 45 minutes of solid playing time before a crash, however the next i get two...
