HD4850 Dual Monitor problems

I purchased a Visontek HD4850 about a month and a half ago. I output to a Gateway 24" monitor and a Westinghouse 24" monitor. Both via DVI. About 2 weeks into owning the card, I noticed that the Westinghouse (secondary monitor) started to flicker on and off randomly. It is sometimes quite a...

E8500 E0 @ 4.17Ghz and 1.29v good for 24/7?

I sometimes wonder about all of these tests. I thought my 4.0ghz overclock was stable. Ran 10 passes of Intelburntest, 1 hour of OCCT, and 8 hours of prime95 with no crashing or errors. I'd fire up WOW and the system would crash within an hour. I've since added back some voltage and it's...

E8400 - One core not stabile?

Sounds to me like either you have some voltages out of whack, or you just got saddled with a bad chip or mobo. I received my E8400 and P5Q Pro a couple of weeks ago, and the first thing I did was up the FSB to 400, and left all the voltages on auto. The chip didn't even break a sweat. I'm...

p45 (asus p5q pro) / e8400 E0 voltages for 400 FSB?

I was able to play around with my E0 8400 yesterday. 9 x 400, and manually lowered the vcore to 1.250V. Per Realtemp, I'm running around 32-33 C idle and 48-49C under Prime 95 load. Maybe I'll shoot for 4.0ghz this week :)

p45 (asus p5q pro) / e8400 E0 voltages for 400 FSB?

Did you set those Vcores yourself Walk? My E0 will do 3.6 at 1.3V with the auto setting. 41C Idle and 61C under Orthos load. My original point is that I think 1.3V is more than what's needed for 3.6. Once I get the components into my new case, I'll have to play around with manually dropping...

Antec twelve hundred and ATX cables

Newegg had the combo pack (24pin and the 8pin) for $6.99. The shipping is the killer part. To have it arrive today, along with the case, the shipping was about $13.00. If I don't need it, then so be it, but the worst case scenario was for me to tear apart my current case, move everything...

p45 (asus p5q pro) / e8400 E0 voltages for 400 FSB?

So, have you guys been getting stable overclocks with Vcore on Auto, and then backing it down in the bios to the lowest it will go and still boot? I did a simple overclock to 3.6 (400 x 9), and left Vcore on auto, CPU-Z shows the voltage at 1.3V, however, I don't think that the chip needs that...

Power Supplies with long cables?

I just ordered this case as well. Anyone know if the Corsair 520HX has any issues with the 24pin connector length?

Antec twelve hundred and ATX cables

I recently purchased the Antec twelve hundred, and UPS has it currently en route. I've read some people have concerns with their 24pin ATX cables being too short to route behind the MOBO. My current PSU is a Corsair 520HX. Does anyone else have this combination? Any ideas as to if I'm...

Finally ordered an e8400, hoping for E0.

Yep...the E0 I received was from the CA warehouse. Too back the Eastern folks are still being shipped C0 chips.

Finally ordered an e8400, hoping for E0.

I ordered the E8400 Asus P5Q Pro combo last week, and indeed received a E0 stepping chip. Running with an Arctic Freezer Pro 7, I was at 35 idle, 55 load (78 degrees ambient). I tried a simple overclock to 400 x 9. This increased my temps about 6-7 degrees on both idle and load. I didn't...

Bad Asus P5q pro???

I just got this Newegg combo yesterday as well. My E8400 is E0 stepping, and it worked just fine in my P5Q pro board without a bios update. The strange thing is that after setting everything up, it took a few hits of the power button before finally powering on. It's been running fine ever...

Can't change FSB, GA-965p-DS3

I have the same board (Rev 2.0) and was looking at the e8400. It looks like my version only supports the chip via overclocking. The other thing I've noticed is that the board will only unofficially support C0 stepping. It looks like if you got one with E0 stepping, you're completely out...

Two Windows NT Questions

Ok guys...blast from the past time. We're using a series of Windows NT 4.0 (SP6) computers here at work, and I need to know if there are any type of built-in diagnostics to measure LAN throughput and disk I/O transfer rates. It's important that the diagnostic tools are accessible from a normal...

Strange memory issue

Recommended 1.9v on the Corsair. Gskillis also running at 1.9v. Bios temp is set to this. FSB is running at 334 x 9. 2.0x multiplier on the ram, so it's actually running underclocked. Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 534 RC-534-KKN2-GP PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX 520W ATX12V Heatsink...

Strange memory issue

I've got a strange problem maybe someone can shed some light on. Built my system in April 2007. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed my game framerates plunging. After swapping out video cards, it was discovered that it was either a ram issue or a heat issue. I originally had 2gb of...

Has my mobo gone bad?

iBPJohn No...I haven't backed off the overclock yet as I'm wondering if I back off the processor cycles, then the fps hit will be due to lack of cpu power. Toronado97 Wow...that is eerily odd. I was really hoping this was a video card or ram issue, however, after replacing both...

Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Rev 1.3

I purchased the rev 1.3 board back in April. I was thinking of upgrading my E4300 to an E6850 and seem to remember that the Newegg description of the mobo stated support for 1333mhz processors. However, the Gigabyte website shows only 1066mhz support on one page, and 1333mhz on another. I've...
