I currently have an PC with an old Audigy 2 soundcard connected to Logitech Z-5500 speakers. I am quite happy with the sound (connecting through S/PDIF and 5.1 analog).
I am running Vista x64 with the latest Creative drivers.
I noticed that some games, like GRID have the hardware...
I tried another trick, where I installed the ATI driver but rebooted into Windows in reduced resolution mode. This was reported on the Sapphire forum.
However, it still did not work. Apparently, the problem is the ATI drivers read the programming inside my Dell 2405 FPW monitor and set things...
I just tried to install an new VisionTek HD4870 card on an ASUS P5Q Deluxe.
I previously had an eVGA 7900GTO card.
After I installed all the ATI drivers and rebooted, Windows Vista x64 starts booting, but then goes to a blank screen. I can boot the PC in safe mode, but I can't get it to work...
Most of the PCIe based SATA cards are based on the Sil3132 chip. I am using one of these cards in my Asus P5Q Deluxe under Vista x64.
You install the card, and let Vista find the latest driver. It works fine, but is not as fast as ICH10R sata (it's just a tiny bit slower).
You can find these...
Everyone, thanks for your help!
The RAID 5 array completed initialiazation after 24+ hours. Using Sandra SiSoft, I am getting 150-180 Mbps read performance and 40-60 Mbps write performance, which is fairly reasonable for an on-board RAID controller. I am using a stripe size of 64K, but have...
I need recommendations for a controller card to add 2 SATA ports to my P5Q Deluxe Motherboard.
I have purchased and installed the SYBA Sil3132-based PCI Express SATA controller card. When I enabled the RAID option in the BIOS of Sil3132, I get the following error (and the Intel RAID no longer...
I am running a Q9450 at 3.3 GHz on an ASUS P5Q Deluxe with a Zerotherm FZ120 cooler.
My temperatures fro most cores are in the 58-61 deg C range (which is much higher than I expected reading frostytech.com), but just a notch lower than yours.
I have just setup a RAID 5 partition on a Asus P5Q Deluxe with Q9450 @ 2.66 GHz.
I am using 6 WD10EACS drives (6 x 1TB) in a RAID-5 partition, using the onboard Intel RAID controller (ICH10R).
I am concerned about RAID 5 write performance and would like some input from others.
1. The RAID...
I am trying to use the 2nd SATA port on the Sil5723 SATA controller.
I am booting Vista x64 on the orange port 0 and have another hard drive on port 1.
I am using the other 6 SATA ports on ICH10R for RAID-5 storage.
I am not seeing the other disk on port 1 of Sil5273. I suspect there is...
I just installed the Asus P5Q Deluxe board with a Q9450.
There are 2 separate LAN jacks in the back - one uses the PCI Express and one uses PCI.
Doe anyone know which one is which? I heard that the PCI Express GigE is much faster.
Thanks
What's the best CPU cooler to use with P5Q Deluxe and Q9450?
I was thinking about the Zerotherm FZ120 or a Zalman CNPS9700, but I am not sure if there are any clearance issues with this board.
If anyone has installed one of these, let me know if you had any clearance issues.
Also, I will...
I just ordered my P5Q Deluxe from Mwave.
Mwave seems to have it in stock and a lower price - $199. Mwave also have the plain ASUS P5Q in stock for $133.
Does anyone know when ASUS plans to release to production the P5Q-E (and other Intel P-45 based motherboards)?
I am patiently waiting for the P5Q-E.
Is it available yet? If so, where?
I am running my system with 7900GTO using a Seasoni S12-370W power supply with no issues.
The Seasonic has only two 12V rails, for a total of 25A. Since I don't hear the Seasonic fan speed up at all,
I don't think the GTO is really drawing too much current.
My system:
AMD X2 3800 @ 2.5GHz...
My eVGA 7800GTO is running at 700MHz core and 1600MHz memory without any issues.
Even under full load, the temperature stays at 49 C and the fan is relatively quiet.
I am very happy with the performance so far.
I just received my eVGA 7900 GTO from mWave.
Using coolbits, I have been running it overcloked at 697 MHz core and (2)*767 MHz memory. The card runs well and is relatively quiet.
It definitely stays cool (48 C) even under load. I am quite happy so far. I am running it on a Seasonic 370W...
I am looking for advice on building a new PC with the following requirements:
1) Stability
2) Low noise (as quiet as possible) with minimum fans
3) Performance for 3-d games (BF2, Rome Total War), video editing (Vegas), photo editing (photoshop)
4) Multiple OS - Windows XP and Linux
