What a disappointment BW-E has been for me... :(
My 4ghz 970 just failed and now its only running at stock 3.2. I was hoping it was a no-brainier to upgrade, but the pricing and low OC potential is making me think otherwise.
I was hoping my current rig would just fail so I could have an...
-Are you rendering to h264 direct from pp or through media encoder?
-With that big of a file you should render to a lossless format and then encode from there.
-I'll take my lossless file into AE and fix any edits with the huge export rather than doing it over again.
-Rendering a quicktime...
So, the other night I was about to run to frys to grab a 5820k on sale...when I thought of one final test. I removed the case power/reset/audio pin connector from the motherboard and now everything is working again.
I guess the case or motherboard power connectors were bad and causing it to...
I'd love to sell the parts if I knew which one was bad. I don't have the knowledge or an extra x58 mobo sitting around to test if the CPU has met its end. This 970 was hitting 4.2 ghz easy, but I tuned it down to 4ghz for every day rock solid.
I'm hoping a 5820k @ 4ghz would be a noticeable...
My i7 970@ 4ghz is shutting down by itself. I can't even stay in the bios for more than a minute with stock settings. The cooling is rock solid and temps have always been low with this noctua beast I have in there. There is noticeable coil whine coming from the back of the mobo by the CPU...
In windows 7 I have multiple folder shortcuts (with the same name) in my explorer panel under favorites. For example I will have "V: \Videos" and "R: \Videos" I drag the folder shortcuts to my panel on the left, then rename the shortcut with the corresponding drive.
I work on multiple...
Dude i have the same monitor and I love it, but its just too small for what i do. I just bought a dell ultrasharp as a second monitor to ease myself into. I dont game on it, but plan to in the future. Its more for photo and video work. Going from the 20wmgx2 to a 4k set is going to be rough...
Bake it. Dead card, artifacting, evil spirits. I bought a $5 toaster oven on Craigslist and have cooked all my cards instead of throwing them in the trash. My 580 is still going strong after the past few months and it was completely dead. No signal.
I had a GTX 580 that was artifacting, then went completely dead. No signal. After baking its been working flawlessly. Cooked it a little too much as it browned in a few places. One of the caps was a bit loose in the solder. Im amazed its working at all.
I've had success with all the...
No fast/slow boot options on here...
Ive tried hooking the raid into another x58 board (intel DX58SO)
But it doesnt have any raid prompt in the bios unless i change it from AHCI :*(
I installed a 2tb drive to backup my 640gb x 2 raid 0...and when I rebooted my bios gave me a "raid failed" screen. :*(
Drives are on intel raid controller ich10r (evga x58) black ports--
Intel Rapid storage is showing the 2 drives, but no longer in raid.
Windows is showing the full...
Have you guys heard about this? It seems to be all a buzz around the tin foil hat blogs.

Is this legit? Ive got a relative who is into hording precious metals for the "end of the...
I am no scientist, but I would advise against gentle typhoon if you have sensitive hearing. There is a horrid bearing noise that is quite high pitched (to me). I recently went through about 6 different fans trying out noise (and testing against multiples in a local fan shop) Even when lowered...
why not run with the 25x mult? That should get you to 1600 just fine. I tried running 4ghz with a higher bclk/lower multiplier and it was the same performance on all benches. I was under the impression that higher multiplier will put less stress on the parts.
gulftown memory is set to "x1.5 the DDR speed. For instance, if you want to run your memory at DDR3-2000, then you’ll need to have your uncore running at 3000MHz minimum"
Maybe try that when manually setting the ratios. Ive got the same cpu and mobo, I run 12 gskill without any...
I played about 4 hours of the free trial. That was enough.
I was really excited to play this, and the initial 15 minutes of game play had me feeling pretty pumped. I was definitely wowed at how polished it was....but within the next few hours it just turned into a yawnfest generic mmorpg...
Complete garbage! How do I revert back? My web pages are loading ungodly slow. Im talking about dial up speeds for anandtech forums. I literally have to wait a good 8 seconds to show Fark.com. This sucks.
I just resurrected 2 completely dead 9800GT's by baking them in a toaster oven for 9min @ 400 (ish) The stickers got a tiny bit tan, but who cares! They were out of warranty. Before, one would artifact and power into sleep mode..the other wouldn't even display.
Now they both pass 20min of ATI...
ive got a p180 and my ripjaws fit perfectly under DH-14...even a good amount of wiggle room. You can easily raise the fan for clearance. There is a youtube video you can search for that shows the amount of clearance.
Ive been doing some overclocking tests with my i7 970 and p6x58d-e, and ive noticed it rarely holds the cpu voltage i set, I havent set it past 1.2v...not matter what i set its always locked at 1.16v or 1.18v.
Ive gotten 100% stable clocks all the way up to 3.6, but im waiting to get...
I did 3 clean installs and the third time i touched nothing but the reset button for windows updates...unless the reset button turns on windows defender... then no, i did not enable it myself.
User error? Nope. Micrsoft fails at their own software conflicts.
I disabled windows defender and MSE works just fine now. I can finally open my recycling bin and defrag...as well as fixing all the other crap.
You would think someone would test that and MSE would disable windows...
After 2 clean windows 7 64bit installs i figured out what was trashing my pc. It was microsft security essentials.
When it is on:
Cannot defrag disks
Cannot uninstall programs
Cannot open start menu
Cannot open/empy recyling bin
Disables all startup programs (asus probe)
Makes things a...
Rifterut- Ive got 3x4 ripjaws on my p6x58d-e, will that nh-d14 clear those? I know that cooler is massive.
any thoughts on scythe mugen 2? Its a lot cheaper than those options.
Just put together my new i7 970 last night and noticed the stock cooler is freaking loud, and its unbearable when set to performance mode. The thing wines and sounds like a vaccum. Im getting around 33c temps as well. My old arctic freezer 64 is dead silent compared to this thing
I dont...
Ive aquired a 970 for quite cheap and now im trying to build out my rendering beast. I need 12gb, but Id also like to OC to 3.6 or somewhere in there.
Right now this 6x2 kit is insanely cheap @ $180 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145235
But would this 3x4 kit yield better...
what about this thing? Its even cheaper, and i could walk across the street and grab it.
$350

I need a rig for my parents and this seems like the best no hassle option.
Its probably got crap oem parts in it, but its a pretty good deal, and i wont have to build anything.
Problem is...i could put together a comparible...
ive been holding out so long now, and since i dont have a microcenter near by the black november newegg deals are pretty damn cheap.
I could potentially wait until sandy bridge...what do you guys think
corsair 850 HX $120

I7 950 $275

Ive my a 150gb raptor for my os using an evga x58 E758-A1 and 1000w antec PSU
The raptor wont show up until after its powered on and then reset again. Everything is turned on in the bios that would use affect the HD...and im using AHCI mode.
Its also on the intel controller.

The machine thats getting slower download speeds is a dell dimension 3000 (p4 3ghz)
The pc that they had running at full DL speed was some craptastic 1.3ghz duron or something.
that didnt work...i also tried resetting all my internet related registry entries and no luck.
So wierd...one PC benches at 1.5mb download...then when i swap to pretty much the same pc it benches at 1.3mb download.
Could it be something to do with the modem? Parents have crappy quest dsl...
Ive rebuilt an older PC for my parents (their current pc is about to pop)
The only problem is that my download speeds on the new PC are horrid. Something seems to be limiting the connection.
The new PC is consistently slower by .5mpbs download speed. (upload is the same)
Only one PC is...
nothing was running its a brand new system within the past 20 min.
EDIT:
There are 2 sets of chipset drivers...the intel matrix and the Intel rapid storage technology driver...do i install both?
Just built a new system for a friend using a new intel x-25 80gb drive. Everything installed really fast and performance is snappy...but
I unzipped the Cinebench 11.5 client around 100ish mb and the thing took forever. It was unzipping at about 10mb/sec.
Is that normal?
Ive got an older pc thats going on about 9 years running a gigabyte board, and my current Asus rig is still going strong!
So, I have no brand loyalty right now :D
