Extreme oc temperatures

Ok, I detached the heat-spreader, but the cooler is too short to reach the core. I reattached the heat-spreader and added some ArcticCooling5 grease (there wasn't very much when I took it appart) and mounted the cooler without grease between cooler and heat-spreader. Now SmartGuardian and...

Extreme oc temperatures

Ok.. Heard about that some time ago. But It's a DFI LANParty UT CFX3200-DR. I tried to disable the shutdown function in bios, but it still shut down (wasn't there when it happened though)! I use ITE SmartGuardian that came with the mobo to display temperatures. How do I remove the...

Extreme oc temperatures

Hey.. Got a bit of a problem here. I purchased a used Opteron 165 some time ago, and it seems to work fine. But as soon as I overclock and do some heavy load (currently transcoding a dvd), it jumps beyond 80* C (176* F), and I've just installed the new Scythe Mine cooler. The "paradox" is...

Battlefield 2: Weird problem.

This is stupid.. I reinstalled Windows (had to test an unattended installation) and installed the Omega driver for ATI. And now BF2 runs flawless!! I don't get it!

Battlefield 2: Weird problem.

Well.. It appeard the heating would cause it. I lowered the multiplier and voltage so the idle temperature was 33-35 degrees celsius. I started the game and loaded a map, all working fine. Right untill it did it again. I alt+tabbed my way to windows, where the temperature was 44 degrees celsius...

Battlefield 2: Weird problem.

Nah.. Same stupid thing happens. Disabling Cool'n'Quiet, 2nd lan port, re-install dual core driver, doing the hot fix.. Nothing works! Thanks for trying anyway..

Battlefield 2: Weird problem.

Hey.. I've just upgraded my old system, and now I'm getting some weird behaviour from Battlefield 2 (patch v1.21). When I start the game, every intro videos stops somewhere in the middle/end, and after a couple of seconds starts again. The same goes for the background video in the menu...

Which motherboard?

Hey.. Need a little help regarding purchase of a motherboard. I have an AMD64 Opteron 165 (one of the good steppings) and 2gb PQI DDR400 TCCD CAS2-2-2-5 (4x 512mb). Memory: Link A few 'essential things' is that I need 3 PCI slots (since I'm a musician and record a lot of things, so...

Opteron 175

I said "I was hoping".. :) I want to explore the dualcore posibilities before singlecore since it's for recording music.

Opteron 175

Hey.. I'm currently investigating the Opteron market, and found this one: AMD 64 Opteron 175 Dual Core 2.2 GHz, CCBWE 0536 XPMW. My question is: Is it a good overclocker?

Which 64bit for recording music?

For now only pro 3D rendering and multimedia encoding benefits from dualcore, and now pro audio recording/playback it appears. I have this link where different setups are running Cubase SX2 and 3.0. Unfortunatly no one is running with the SX3.1 update (supporting dualcore). The 4400+ is a...

Which 64bit for recording music?

Just read that Steinberg Cubase SL/SX v3.1 supports dualcore, so that would go under heavy consideration. But what about an overclokced Opteron 146 2ghz -> 2.8/3ghz? Would X2 3800+ still be better?

Which 64bit for recording music?

Hey.. I'm thinking about upgrading to 64bit but kinda stuck at the cpu. A lot of resource hungry plug-ins will be working at the same time. I already have 2gb pc3200, so you shouldn't think about that. I'm also getting the Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe I'm thinking about Opteron 146 / 3200+...

Best passive GFX?

Hi.. I'm thinking about making a multimedia-box (or what ever it's called). Beside from watching movies and recording TV I want to be able to play games on it (racing games would the majority (forget about HDTV resolutions)). So I'm looking for the best passive PCI-e graphic card. Any...

HDD trouble. Maybe a new one?

Hey.. I'm currently experiencing some weird HDD behaviour. It's my Western Digital WD2000JD SATA 200gb i think. Sometimes when I'm working in Windows it just "reboots" (the harddrive, not Windows) meaning it shuts down and spin up, sometimes repeatedly. If it means it's about to crash, I've...

Could Germany have been defeated if they had the wonder weapons at the start of WW2?

It could be "fun" to see the outcome of WW2, if Adolph won it! How would we live? How would the world look etc? .. There was a movie with Rutger Hauer, where USA (and the entire world) were under Nazi control. Fatherland (1994) : http://imdb.com/title/tt0109779/

Suggestions on a Wireless Card for my laptop

Maybe a card matching your Laptop manufacturer. Like Acer-card to Acer, and Asus-card to Asus. But I think any pcmcia-card from LinkSys, 3COM, Intel will work just fine. There are standards in the industry that needs to be kept. Just get the ones without external antenna. It's kinda annoying..

Athlon XP-M 2800+ vs. what-ever ??

Thanks guys. I did a little more digging. In an article on FiringSquad ( http://firingsquad.com/hardware/athlon_64_geforce_7800_gtx_scaling ) they said something like : "If you?re not careful however and pair the 7800 GTX with a slower processor, all that power can go to waste. This is...

Athlon XP-M 2800+ vs. what-ever ??

Hey.. I'm thinking about expanding my other computer to make it my primary game pc. I've taken a look at Athlon XP-M 2800+ since it's unlocked and has 512kb L2 cache, but the FSB is only 266MHz. Would it be sane to choose that over the Barton 2800+ (333MHz / 256kb L1) or Sempron 3000+...

Hey.. First post here. Freaking awesome dude! Glad it worked out. Those kind of people only understand sh!t, and not reason! Normally sorting to violence is a 'last line of diffence', but from your story they deserved every bit of it!
