    Seamlessly move Programs/Files to different phyiscal D: drive (HDD)?

    Hey guys, on my Windows 8.1 desktop, for storage I'm currently running two internal drives: a 256GB SSD as the C: drive (where Windows and most of my programs are located), and a 1TB HDD as the D drive (where some games are installed, in addition to the default pictures, videos, and music...

    Intermittent PC lockups and strange behavior: PSU or MB failing?

    Okay, so I've now ensured that all of my components are not overheating and have returned the board to stock clocks for the Q6600 & RAM. If I get another lockup I'll reinstall Windows, possibly to a new HDD (they're cheap, and then I can rule out C: hardware failure). If this fixes the...

    Intermittent PC lockups and strange behavior: PSU or MB failing?

    Thank you both for the help. I visually inspected the board's capacitors with a flashlight and they all look normal from what I could see. I didn't pull the board out, but I definitely saw no bulging or discharge from any of them. The HDD's not appearing in Windows occasionally (only...

    Intermittent PC lockups and strange behavior: PSU or MB failing?

    Well now I feel really stupid... I decided to look in my computer and start it again after giving it a few hours to sit, and I discovered that one of my fans wasn't working! A SATA cable was interfering with the bottom drive bay fan (in the Antec P180 that I have, it sits in the center of the...

    Intermittent PC lockups and strange behavior: PSU or MB failing?

    Hey guys, I built my first PC a little over 3 years ago, and am finally running into my first troubles with it. First, here's what's in it now: MB: DFI LanParty LT P35 CPU: Q6600 @ 3.6 ghz RAM: 2x2 GB G.SKill DDR2 Video: XFX Radeon 5850 1GB PSU: Seasonic S12 650W Sound: HT Omega...

    Nvidia kills GTX285, GTX275, GTX260, abandons the mid and high end market

    Yeah, they really are -- their current in-production top card is back to being the 9800GTX+. I think it's simply a matter that they were losing money already on competing with the ATI 4xxx series, and with the price points that ATI is setting on the 5850 and 5870, they just aren't competitive...

    if the 5850 clocks to performance of the 5870

    That's a great question, and one which I'm not qualified to answer.

    if the 5850 clocks to performance of the 5870

    From what I've read in this thread: http://www.xtremesystems.org/f...howthread.php?t=235181, it seems that neither memory bandwidth nor core speed are exclusively the bottleneck on the 58xx so far. I think it would be errant to suspect that AMD would have so badly miscalculated the...

    if the 5850 clocks to performance of the 5870

    The 5850 looks like an amazing card for the money, and the perfect replacement for my 4870x2 -- OC it to around 900mhz on the core to match the performance of the latter (and likely exceed it once the 58xx drivers mature), minus the CF quirks, and save $80-100/yr. in power savings from the use...

    any point to a 5850/5870 with PCIx 1.1

    Exactly. I have a DFI P35 board paired with a Q6600 at 3.6 ghz. Since the vast majority of games are GPU-limited at 1920x1200 and up, this is still an EXCELLENT setup to pair with a 58xx series GPU. The Q6600 G0 was an epic CPU by Intel... still going strong nearly 2 years post launch.

    PCI-Express 2.0: Will GT200/R770 need the bandwidth?

    I just read that article as well. In those situations though it would seem that you're not going to be in a good position, performance-wise, if you have to start accessing the system RAM -- and theoretically cards with more vRAM won't be as susceptible to those issues -- lowering the resolution...

    8800 GTS SLI or single 9800 GTX?

    SLI 9600GT's is what I'd do if I bought an SLI motherboard -- they scale exceptionally well and are much cheaper than any other solution of comparable performance. Unfortunately, the SLI motherboards themselves seem overpriced, less stable, and have much hotter NB's than the P35's.

    PCI-Express 2.0: Will GT200/R770 need the bandwidth?

    I'm deciding between purchasing a P35 motherboard (the DFI LT P35 T2R) or buying a similarly-priced used X38 board on ebay (probably either a Gigabyte X38 DQ6, the DFI LT X38, or the Asus Maximus Formula). I'm fully versed in the differences between the two chipsets and have no plans to run a...

    8800GT freeze!

    Mine gave out and I normally left the card at its default clocks (which was an evga 8800GT SC, so it was slightly OCed to start with). My Rivatuner OC was ~ 738/1760/1940 stable in ATI Tool and Crysis. I also changed the fan auto settings so the fan would ramp up much faster under heavy loads...

    9800gx2 prices

    Yup, it's absolutely ludicrous -- just like the price of the 8800 Ultra, or the fact that the 8800GTX was selling for hundreds more than the slightly faster 8800GTS 512. Oh, Nvidia... The GX2 is the card to get if money is no object and you're too impatient to wait for better high-end 65nm...

    8800GT freeze!

    ^ Sounds like you may have a bad one -- it shouldn't artifact at stock speeds of course. I take it you have the latest drivers? And do you have another intensive 3D game to confirm the artifacting (in order to rule out some sort of issue with WoW, even though that game tends to be very...

    8800GT freeze!

    I have an 8800GT and I believe it is causing my system to BSOD. The reason I suspect this is because it started to occur right after the first time I hooked up my 8800gt to two monitors at once (my HDTV and my regular monitor) and played Crysis on it for about 20 mins. The 8800GT had a massive...

    First a bunch of BSOD's, now no POST

    Update: As soon as I got back home, I decided to pull the battery from the Bad Axe 2 and place the jumper in config position. After I replaced the battery (I gave it 10 mins to clear itself), my rig posted. I've put the original RAM and 8800gt back in the rig and am typing this while Orthos...

    Which first; video card or CPU/mobo/RAM?

    I would imagine that those benchmarks are much more CPU-intensive than modern games, which almost always are heavily GPU-intensive. Wait and see, but I suspect that the GPU upgrade will be the cheaper and more effective path to take.

    World's most pathetic E6600?

    I want to follow up on my last post. I'm still running stable @ 3.2 Ghz w/ 1.55V in the BIOS (which ends up being 1.52V when read by speedfan). I've noticed from monitoring the individual core temps in iTAT that my Core 0 is always 5-7 degrees warmer than my Core 1. I thought I had...

    Please understand that this thread is not one where I'm complaining that I only got an incredible 25% overclock on chip.

    EIST and Intel Speedstep

    If you've seen my other thread, you'll know that I'm running a Bad Axe 2 (BIOS 2692) with a week 44G E6600 that's a poor overclocker. I have it stable at 1.55v @ 3.2Ghz (356 FSB). As a precaution, I'd like to be able to enable EIST and let the CPU throttle down to 356x6 (2.13 Ghz) when idle...

    World's most pathetic E6600?

    That's what I had thought as well from previous experience, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I was running underclocked at full voltage -- Crucial Ballistix D9's, rated for 4-4-4-12 @ DDR2-800 @ 2.2v. I've been running them around 700 Mhz... they should be fine. Used a different 2...

    Now that ATI/AMD Lost the war....

    I'm very disappointed with these early results of R600. It it's just bad drivers, that's one thing. But if the part is poorly engineered, then ATI has a lot of catching up to do. My current card is the X1900 XT, and I love it -- better performance than the 7900GTX had at $150 cheaper when I...

    World's most pathetic E6600?

    Yeah, I may have them backwards, I'm actually listing them based off of my memory at the moment. That's interesting though, as I haven't gone past 1.6v on the fsb yet. I'll put it at (or a little above) 1.65v with 1.575 to the vCore and try 370 again.

    Suggestions to acheive 3.2 OC on a E6600

    I encountered the same problems when I had a DS3. I would advise against trying a FSB in the 360-400 range because the board tends to have a hole there from starting to max out on the 1066 strap. Once you hit 400 or 401 or so, you should definitely be on the 1333 strap and that will help.

    World's most pathetic E6600?

    I hope you're right, but I'm skeptical because so far I've tried everything I know to test where my limiting factor is. 1) I've been running my memory 1:1 (setting mem frequency to double the reference frequency, ie 266-533 & 333-667 for 1066 & 1333 straps, respectively). I'm running...

    World's most pathetic E6600?

    I'm running a week 44G E6600 (I've heard some awful results with 44G, but also some promising ones) on a Bad Axe 2. Went ahead and disabled all the features that inhibit OC'ing (such as VT, C1, watchdog, etc etc) and gave it a go. I'm topping out right now when using 1.55V at around...

    Stick with AMD or go back to Intel?

    Actually, I was just looking at a series of benchmarks that put the 5600+ about 5-20% slower in pretty much ever test compared to the E6600. The E6700 should probably be 15-30% faster than the 5600+, and slightly faster than the 6000+ as well. Still, E6600 does cost more than 5600+...but the...

    Stable 775 mobo that can reliably hit 400 FSB in OC?

    My last rig was an E6400 with a DS3 mobo -- got it to 430 Mhz FSB stable. Unfortunately, the Gigabyte mainboard gave out on me within months. A friend of mine did his built likewise and his DS3 never posted (he traded it in for the Asus 965 series deluxe mobo). I'm no longer interested in...

    Overclocking with 4 sticks of RAM

    Alright, I'll give it a try and report back. I'm hoping the overclock is better than with my Patriot DDR2-667 CL4, which gets the FSB to 400 Mhz stable.

    Overclocking with 4 sticks of RAM

    I'm upgrading to some Super Talent 2.2V 4-4-3-8 DDR2-800 RAM to go with my E6300 + DS3 build. I have 32-bit Windows Vista, and know that on my computer it can max out at 3.25GB addressable, so I'm planning on upgrading to 3GB of RAM. Is it a problem to throw 2x1 GB in one set of slots and...

    Best OCing Motherboard for Allendale C2D's

    New C2D Rig keeps burning inside...

    Thank you all for your responses. I hadn't considered the possibility that the front USB ports had shorted out the mobo & power supply. It possibly could have been the internal case speaker as well I suppose. In that case, I can't take a chance on using this case and should RMA it as well. I...
