  1. How long to add to bench?

    Ah okay - was just wondering if there was any precedent... Hoping more like days than weeks! :D
  2. How long to add to bench?

    Hi all - very quick question - was wondering how long it usually takes for new GPU reviews to get added to Anandtech Bench? I really like that tool, mainly for the comparisons and would love to check out the new AMD 280/290 family GPUs in comparison to my current set up and other available...
  3. Help with captive portal set up

    Hi all - so I've been looking in to setting up a captive portal and not been getting very far :( Done the usual Googling and have drawn a bit of a blank as any topics on the matter seem very vauge to me and missing actual set up guides etc. So far I've got a Cisco/Linksy router and have...
  4. Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, restarted during use...

    Cleared a couple of passes of MemTest86 - read in the other forum about a windows based one meant to be good at fault finding, will give that a shot also. Started running LinX but manually stopped it after 2 passes. Temps were in the low 70's Celcius, I'm on the stock Intel cooler and don't...
  5. Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, restarted during use...

    RAM is rated 1600Mhz @ 1.5V... Think it had auto down clocked to 1333Mhz anyway. Am just about to leave work so will check that and through some tests at it! *crosses fingers* hope its somethign simple, really want this up and running as a gaming system for BF3!!! :D
  6. Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, restarted during use...

    HI all - couple of days ago I posted a thread here with regards to a little problem (now fixed) I was having after a fresh install of my PC. Basically I've recently upgraded my CPU + MB to Intel i5 2500K + Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 and built it in a beast of a case: Fractal Design XL! Have kept the...
  7. Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, slow boot? -Solved! :)

    Update: Apparently CD-ROM was before HD in the boot order and think it was allowing a set time (i.e. 20secs) to search for a CD even when there was non present in the drive :S Anyway, I've set HD to 1st boot device and now it loads nice and fast again :) Thanks for the advice - had already...
  8. Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, slow boot? -Solved! :)

    Hi all - I've just been installing my new build, spec: - Intel 2500K - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3, rev1.0, - 8GB Corsair DDR3 1600 (9-9-9-24) - Cruical Real SSD C300 64GB - AMD HD6870 - Corsair 850W PSU - Fractal Design XL I set SATA mode to AHCI, left other BIOS options @ default, no OC...
  9. Biostar A780L3L - no DVI output :S

    Just rigged up dual monitors and it will works using the DVI as a secondary output. Can't for the life of me understand why it wont work with just DVI plugged in? I haven't tried to remote access the machine, but with DVI plugged in i hear it make the POST success 'beep' but nothing appears on...
  10. Biostar A780L3L - no DVI output :S

    Hi all - so i'm doing a favour for a friend and have upgraded his system on a budget using: - Biostar A780L3L motherboard (http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/content.php?S_ID=495) basic but does all he needs. - AMD Athlon II x2 250 - 4GB generic RAM - used existing HDs / CD/DVD...
  11. Another find-old-game thread

    Its Warlords, was a pretty fun game :)
  12. The Geforce 460 series has incompatibility issues with many motherboards - READ THIS!

    Doesn't seem like a very 'fair' test. Surely the way to test this would be in a system that is having trouble, to keep everything else the same (cpu/ram/psu etc) and to like for like swap the motherboard? With another known to work board. If problems persist then maybe the graphics card does...
  13. Crysis 2 Benchmarks - Demo is up now.

    A friend of mine at Crytek has been assuring me that this game will perform on high settings on a much more user/wallet friendly range of hardware, so those benches look about right :)
  14. NVIDIA cards will burn down your house and sell your children into slavery

    This is horrible, why would nV do such horrible things? :(
  15. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    Max temps = 52c, that was running IBT. Prime doesn't get so warm. When i was trying for CPU-NB @ 2800 (needed 1.4v) then temps hit a max of 55c. The Corsair H70 seems to be doing quite a decent job! :D
  16. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    The 'hang' was happenign to me regardless if i had device plugged into ports 4/5 :S Oooh well, its working now and i've been able to start OCing... been an interesting process as not OCed anythign AMD since s939. ATM i'm @ 4.2GHz on the core with 1.475v and @ 2600 on the CPU-NB link @ 1.2v :D...
  17. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    Been stable with AHCI mode working since i did that. Can't believe it after all the wasted time :S Am sure i was running with it set the same to start with... Thanks for the tip!
  18. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    O. M. G. That might have worked! Updates to follow! :D
  19. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    Had a really busy week, followed by a weekend spent away from home. Am pretty sure i've already tried this, but will double check :)
  20. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    Ahh thanks! i'll give it one final try (using Secure Erase + a diff BIOS version) before i have to sit on it in IDE mode until Gigabyte respond!
  21. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    No i didn't have any other drives attached. Yes AHCI was set from the start. I've only used MS drivers. i.e. the ones Win7 installs automatically. Have already tried that :/ Except for the 'secure erase disk' on one of my re-install attempts i did upgrade the firmware of the SSD to 006...
  22. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    Have sent a ticket to Gigabyte, still waiting for a reply 3days later :/ Am pretty gutted, got the makings of the best PC (SSD boot drive, AMD x4 965, 4GB DDR3, 2x6870's, 850HX psu, H70 cooler...) i've ever had and its been nothing but hassle trying to get it setup!
  23. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    Thats typical, i was looking at getting rid of this setup for a Sandy Bridge system! Guess i'm going to have to wait for that to be sorted out now. Yes i had tried building the system outside of the case, same problem. Stalls/hangs/freezes on POST screen after cpu + ram check, if AHCI is enabled.
  24. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    If i set SATA mode to AHCI/RAID, then after the POST screen (mem + cpu check), then the IDE device check, where at bottom of the screen it is still listing options (i.e. DEL for BIOS, F12 for Boot options, F10 for recovery etc etc) then the system hangs. I can't hit DEL to enter BIOS. I can't do...
  25. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    Thanks for the link. Is interesting (and a little down-hearting) seeign how many glitches/problems different people are having with HD configuration with this board/chipset. Unfortunately, this is not quite the same as my problem. For me IDE mode works fine, drives are seen in all ports. But...
  26. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    Thats interesting that you have the same problem with the HD not showing in BIOS, with AHCI enabled. When you installed windows (Win7 x64?) did you use the MS drivers or did you hit F6 and supple AMD drivers? At the moment, i've installed W7 x64, with SATA operation = IDE, using MS drivers...
  27. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    I've got a horrible feeling you're right :/
  28. GA-890GPA-UD3H + AHCI mode... The saga continues!

    Hi all - a little while ago I made a thread here concerning some erratic issues I was having with a new build, which happens to be the 1st system I've built using an SSD. Also as it happens the 1st 'enthusiast' level system I've built since s939 days. Since then i've been struck down with a very...
  29. Help pick me a PSU please :D

    Yeah thats what i thought. It has an awesome guarantee for 7 years... So i can easily imagine me still using this PSU then!
  30. Help pick me a PSU please :D

    I went for a Corsair 850HX - I know its probably over-kill but it was only £5 more than the 750HX... also the XFX 'Black Edition' PSUs dont seem to be in supply over here in the UK, just the 'Core Edition' models. Should arrive tomorrow, in time for a weekend building + OCing session :)
  31. Help pick me a PSU please :D

    Hi all, I've recently purchased 2x HD 6870 graphics cards and have a feeling my trusty Corsair HX520 is going to struggle! It has served me very well in numerous builds over the last 2-3years and will be kept in my 2nd machine. My system will be: AMD Phenon II x4 965 4GB DDR3 RAM 2 x...

  33. Trouble with new build - 1st SSD (updated - still no joy)

    Thanks for all the input guys! This is a pretty busy week for me and in any spare time i get i'm enjoying geeking out in WoW:Cataclysm :P Planning a re-build / trouble shoot session over the weekend. Update regarding the system at the moment, i re-instlaled with IDE/legacy mode. Windows +...
  34. Trouble with new build - 1st SSD (updated - still no joy)

    Was late last night when i was posting and been at work today. I've done a reinstall, using IDE mode as a temporary solution. After installing some drivers/software that needed a restart the machine stuck on the initial loading screen i.e. after CPU/MEM check, when it lists device drives...

    Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H 890GX
  36. Trouble with new build - 1st SSD (updated - still no joy)

    To clarify: - When i was doing all of this i only had the SSD and DVD drive plugged in. - Default settings (SATA = IDE mode), I turn on the computer, all devices are listed in BIOS, I am able to install windows onto the drive, things work properly. - If i change SATA operation to AHCI...
  37. Trouble with new build - 1st SSD (updated - still no joy)

    Tried that also. Same problem continued for me. TBH i'm running out of ideas... think i'm going to set it back to IDE and re-install W7, that process is pretty damn fast less than 15mins :)
  38. Trouble with new build - 1st SSD (updated - still no joy)

    Have not tired with a mechanical drive with AHCI enable, I could do as a test. Finished reading the thread that Old Hippie linked... wow... lots of different opinions but the general consensus seems to be that AMD don't do AHCI very well :( and that its better off running in IDE mode! Lots of...
  39. Trouble with new build - 1st SSD (updated - still no joy)

    Have tried in RAID mode - same thing, freezes on POST screen, only drive it detects is the CD/DVD and not SSD. Reading that link you provided now :) Thanks
  40. Trouble with new build - 1st SSD (updated - still no joy)

    Hrmmm thats not quite my poblem. With SATA set to IDE, BIOS sees drive, Windows installs, machine runs normally. With SATA set to AHCI mode - SSD is NOT found in BIOS, yet it WILL be found during windows install (at drive selection screen) if i boot from Windows CD :S However, the PC fails to...
