I just may have to try it and see what I think. The Silverstone in prety loud, mainly because I keep the sides off most of the time tinkering with the ever so troublesome 680i.
But Damn nice looking case when sides are on.
Besides I need to pull it all out anyway to re-route the rats nest of...
Not to "wee" on anyones parade here. And this is only my opinion.
But I picked one up at BB nonight, got it PM'ed and used the 12% coupon. Cost $85 and change total.
I currently own a Silverstone TJ06 Full tower case. I guess I never realised just how well built the Silverstone is.
The 900...
I have been testing to RAID 0 arrays on my computer trying to figure out which one will be the faster set.
I have two SATA2 WD 160gig drives
And two SATA2 Seagate 320gig drives witht (Perpandicular recording tech).
I have tested the WD's with several different cache settings from 8k to 128...
Windows will only see a portion of that 4 gigs. I think it's like 2.7 gigs. So I wouldn't waiste your money on on it unless you are going to use VISTA.
I think VISTA will see your 4 gigs.
Me and my big mouth!!!!!!!
Well I too am haveing that damn flickering black screen now. And no its not the video card (8800 GTX) I have two of these cards and it the same with both. And it only happens in games played at 1600 x 1200. If I set it at anything less it works fine. And yes this is a...
Crucial Ballistix DDR2-1000 do work on the EVGA 680i and will post but at crazy timings and 1.9v .
Funny thing is I can't get them higher than DDR2-800 and BIOS , CPU-Z and SANDRA show some weird things in SPD
here is a screen shot of what this memory looks like in the 680i
Crucial Ballistix...
Yes I reflashed again and then I downloaded it it to another computer and created another floppy on it. Still no good after flash.
I am now thinking that it may just be a coinsidence that it happened at the moment I flashed the card and that maybe the problem lies with the EVGA 680i. The whole...
No I have the other 8800 in one of my other rigs. I only flashed one card. and only had one card in the machine.
I'm not saying the BIOS is no good. I am just warning those who do not need it should not use it as there is the chance for something to go wrong. Like it did with mine for whatever...
Yes I know how but DON'T DO IT!!! Unless you need to run a Apple 23" display, you don't need this BIOS.
I flashed my EVGA 8800 GTX yesterday. The flash is simple...........run the EXE and it makes a bootable file on your floppy...........you select to boot from the floppy drive and the BIOS...
Correction on the Zalman 9700. I had to mod it slightly to get it to fit. I had to spread the fins apart to gain another 3/8" . In my particular case the mother board rides almost flush with the case and the 9700 extends about 3/8" to 1/2" past the edge of the mother board.
I got a new Computer room with all the fixxings and all the components to build the computer that you see in my sig.
My wife let me finaly build the office I always wanted. I did every stitch of it my self from the wood floors, The hand made computer desk, and the custom built computers.
It...
I have had no problems with my 204B . I run it DVI with a EVGA 8800 GTX.
I also bought it on Newegg as an open box item for $225 and it came looking brand new with all cables, manuals CD's and all.
Good luck with your problem!
I am useing the new pre-Beta Prime95 for dual core.
It's been running for about 2 hours with no problems yet.
Here is a pic of it in action.......
Prime95
I have the EVGA 680i in a Silverstone TJ06 inverted case (MB is upside down with CPU on the bottom) and I have the Zalman 9700 And it was about 1/4" to 3/8" past the bottom of the case. So I took my $80 Zalman and bent the fins apart till it fit. I bought it for cooling not for looks so I didn't...
Yes please give details on what worked for you. I also have the same CPU/Mem/MB combo. Only have a single 8800 GTX installed at the moment. Its in a Silverstone TJ06 case with the Zalman 9700 cooler.
I have yet to attempt overclocking yet till I know for sure my SATA issues are resolved.
I'm...
I just happen to have an EVGA 8800 GTX for sale. I have had it installed for about a week. And have the reciept from newegg.com from 2 weeks ago.
I bought two of them for SLI but have decided to just go with one card. One 8800 GTX is all I could ever need for a couple of years at least.
I'll...
Target is owned by a French company and they also will NOT let U.S. Marines collect donations for "Toys for Tots". I am guessing because of resentment for U.S. Military actions around the globe.
So I say F^%$# Target and the french F^%#$s that own it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Well I was hoping the beta would solve my problems but after flashing with the new beta p23 and playing with it a while, I am still having problems.
I keep loseing my raid drives. Actualy I am loseing the SATA ports. For some reason right in the middle of a game I get a blue screen for about 2...
I remember on my AMD system, I was told over 2 Gigs of ram would accualy slow my system down.
Is this also true for Core 2 Duo and DDR 2?
What is the max Dual channel ram I should go with on a conroe rig?
2 gig DDR2 or 4 Gig DDR2 ?
Ok, my bad on the other 10% coupon. Dell sent it to me via Email. I thought it was for everyone. Turns out it is a special offer from dell for me signing up for offers on the dell web site.
Sorry........But they still have the 15% off coupon
Dell has coupons for a total of 25% off and free shipping ( 15% + 10% coupons) on select electronics. I'm not sure what other monitors this will apply too.
I don't think I am allowed to post links here but if you search dell coupons you will find them.
I bought one this morning and total was...
Hello, I am building my first Intel rig. So far the specs are as follows....
Core 2 Duo 6600
Evga 680i board
Evga 8800GTX
Can some one recomend the best memory selection for Core 2 Duo and 680i ?
This may net be as good a deal, but I just bought one of these monday look here Chair I am 295lbs and it is the most comfortable chair I have ever bought.
yes there are very few backlit keyboards that light up the letters and not just the whole key. very bright! LCD screen is nice too. The macro's are the best feature for me, no more need for the extra game pad.
I ordered mine early January from the Logitech website (had a $20 coupon). But it was...
Have a look at this one SilverStone.
I used this 2 Story Condo for my last build. It is HUGE and is the best built case for the money I have ever layed hands on. You could hide your mother-in-law in this thing! Very very solid well made case.
ASUS documentation that came with my A8N32-SLI board recomends that you do not use the board upside down like i did. Something to do with gravity affect on the heat pipe? Well I checked it out and durned the PC UPSIDE DOWN and ran Prime for 2 hours with it like that and then right side up. Temps...
Thats why I built my system like this..........look here...

If you read the last line in the TOS for EVGA step up program, they give you a hint at what will happen.
"Unreleased or future products may not become available or have limited availability for the Step-Up Program. In the event of limited availability, product will be distributed on a first...
I have this board and the 3500LL memory as well. Why would you want 4 sticks? even on another board 4 sticks of the best ram will run slower than just 2. You can't run at T1 timing with 4 sticks. You would actually be robbing your system of performance. More does not always mean better. Stick...
Sorry for the flameing post...lol
It was late and I was a little drunk after the big game last night. I take no offense and I know it's not rocket science. But I have this rig thats 2 weeks old. I built it with Nvidia 7800GTX in mind. And in fact I started with the 7800GTX. It setup and ran...
who the h$#@ cares. Even if the G71 turns out to be a little less of a card performance wise than the X1900xtx. It will still be a better product than ATI's monster. As for me? I'll stick with a card that I KNOW i will have no BS driver or campatibility issues. My GPU will perform at rated...
Well i'm not as tech savy as you guys are. But I did manage to flash to XTX BIOS. I scored 10648 in 3DMark05 the other day and just ran it again with new BIOS and scored 11131 both at stock settings and my system config was the same on both.
I have the 1900xt and play BF2. I haven't noticed that, but that doesn't mean its not there. I was so empressed with the detail on everything else that I don't remember looking at my gun.....lol
I do have issues with the 1900XT though. But I won't hijack this thread. you can look here...
First off, I bought an SLI board for 2 reasons. First I wanted the option to upgrade to SLI if I wanted without buying a new board down the road. And second because I was going with the 7800GTX. At the time I bought the board and the card, I didn't know that the ATI 1900xt was coming out that...
I did a complete reformat and fresh install of windows and reinstalled the card already, same problems. Memory and CPU ran flawlessly with the 7800GTX that I took out.
