Ok i just got a i5 750 and a asus cheapest P55 mobo. The mobo turned out to be defective so i had to RMA it, the new board will come around 15th of next month but a month long wait is too long. Now i have the following options:-
1.Get a i7 920+ x58 based system for gaming and keep the i5 750...
Leaving the review apart i was a bit saddened with the TDP of 73W that is a huge leap from 65W for the E8xxx, but then again it does not eat as much as E8400 lets see how true this TDP is in reality...
I am sorry for using shorthand but most of my posts are done with a old Tc1100 and the virtual keyboard keeps a bit on my nerves.... extra hardware would compromise the relatively small size.
I was thinking of upgrading to saving electricity. Performance is not much needed but its surplus non...
lol the best part would be a review with the cover story:- "i3 vs x3"
Power of 3 hahaha....
EDIT:- After reading the article i think that the i3 3.06Ghz will equal about E8500 in performance and i3 2.93Ghz will equal a E8400.
What AMD needs to to is to release x3's at 3.0Ghz - 3.3Ghz to...
I was thinking about replacing my old P3 file server with a better system but i hit a snag the Atom 330 cums with a 945 which is well u know... For the 1100 i can buy a better mobo like the ones based on AMD 6xx/7xx or the Nvidia 7025/7050.
SO wht do u think the overall difference will be in...
Totally agree with ExarKun333 and on top of this u can also upgrade to a hex i7 later... If u get a i5+P55 all u can upgrade to is a i5 with HT called a i7....
I dont think they will OC at the same level i7 may OC more....
The i5 has integrated the PCI Express 2.0 controller... IMO there may be a barrier to reach higher clock but hey i am not sure.
The QPI may or may not be useful for SLI and crossfire.
Can anyone confirm weather or not QPI...
Ok if the price of a P55 based mobo is similar to the price of a low end x58. Which one would you buy ??
The i5 does not have QPI but it has huge bump in the speed of turbo mode. If the i5 2.8ghz has the same price of the i7 2.66Ghz and same is true for the mobo hich ould you buy??
Since my CM 600W exploded i have to get a new PSU for 2-3 months so i dont really want to spend a lot.
I have found a PSU which seems to be good and well build it had the 80% rate sticker on it. The main thing i am worried about is the Amps on the +12v1 and +12v2 rails
They were rated at...
I was just about to make a new thread about intel burn's new ver. and furmark xtream test that blew my cooler master extrema 600w to kingdom heaven. I was having a bit of problems with it powering up a GTX275 with a Athlon x2 seems that the stress was tooo much for it to bear.
Mine went out...
I had 4850 CF on HX520W for about a month but there were issues the PSU got quite hot while gaming or benching and i could smell something burning from the PSu a rubber like smell.
Same thing happened to me with the GTX275 but it turned out the GTX275 had a fail rate so i RMA'd it and the second one had a problem with the heatsink not set on rite. So around the 3rd and last RMA i got the GTX275 that works ok almost.
Oh i did not know that. Since my Silverstone OP1200 is out of town i have to use this as a replacement for a few weeks. Oddly enough i have problems running stock Palit GTx 275 if you are rite 18.75A or 225W of 12V power should not be a problem even for a Seventeam 500W PSU that only has a...
We are in the same boat i have a 650w Cooler master extreme power which also has 36A so i had to underclock the card quite a bit. But its still ok for the time being.
Also BTW if i dont under clock my card my screen goes blank when ever i start a benchmark...
I have a Cooler master extreme power Plus 650W SMPS and have just attached a HDD and a PCI WiFi card to it. The system has a Athlon 4400+ and a basic micro ATX m/b. I bought a GTX 275 and gave it a try even when the min was rated at 40A SMPS for the card and mine had 36A.
To take a safer...
I say go for it i kinda downgraded from a 2x 4850 to a GTX 275 and the first card i got was a DOA had to RMA it... Waiting for the replacement have to say the 4890 really really impressed me a lot with its OC headroom. In India the GTX 275 costs around Rs.18k "$355" and 4890 around Rs.19k...

IBM did help AMD a bit you cant call it a puss maybe a mole....
What AMD really need to do is to position 6 core Phenom against 4 core i7's "After all PhII's are smaller than i7's". As for the Advanced Vector Extensions i know they work at 256 bit wide vector FP's AMD could do a 2 x 128 bit...
In someway's the larrabee part will have 12-24 cores / shaders.. But each of those is not equal to either nvidia's or ATI's.
Different architecture adds\subtracts different meaning to how and what these core's/ Shaders do impacting on speed and performance.
I will go as far as saying that...
I bought a Palit GTX 275 today and as soon as i replaced my single 4850 "Other one was taken by my brother" and hooked up the power wires and tried to switch on the pc the fans inside rotate just a bit and stop as if the smps has shut itself down to protect itself due to short circuit. I tried...
I have read reviews which state blife at 2hrs but that is due to the discreet 3410 sucking battery out of the battery...
The starting line dv2 does not have a 3410 maybe it will have a better blife because of that..
I have read several reviews of the dv2 but everyone of them had 3410. I wanted to see a review which focuses more on the battery and on board graphics.
Anyone seen such a review??
As many have said the e5200 is gr8 for OC but 7750 is also not that bad.
If you only need speed the e5200 will top the 7750 out but the e5200 will get very hot in the process. Also the 7750 in comparison with the 2140 seemed cooler at the same speed.
So i recommend 7750 overall and e5200...
Raon Digital Everun Note kills the VAIO P without even breaking into a sweat.
I tried both of these at a Croma outlet. I was very very presently surprised with the Raon. The Everun Note seemed almost similar in former factor and it seemed a bit smaller than the VAIO P "YES SMALLER".
I...
Guess that you and jlazzaro are right have to upgrade the internet wifi network and merge it with the LAN network. So called the local store has WPC54GS in stock and WPC54G soon to be. Sadly its about $59 per piece "Must be import tax or something" will wait for the WPC54G price and will buy...
Its a old ME102 i know that there will be a hit because its written on the manual. I know this is very old but i like it a lot and if possible i want it to be useful for as long as possible.
The thing is hooked to a old P3 and gives the internet through out the whole house "This creates the...
Dont get it... The reason why i bought a super G router is that the N standard is a not final and its a DRAFT. The horror is that if i buy a expensive Draft N router it may not even talk to a N Final card/ router!!!
There is a odd problem with my router. According to the logs my HP printer used the wifi router the whole night and i know for a fact that my printer was off and there is no way in hell that it could connect to my router.
The reason why i want MAC filtering is that in India its not legal to...
My my actually this silicon is not from Mordor its from Msrdsr "Lost in Middle-earth" which is better silicon and much better than Saruman's Uru-k-hai.
So much is the difference between the two silicons they have different ID's 940 and 945....!! :->
I should have elaborated when i dual booted Vista's Aero GUI made the macbook hot as hell and due to that the screen started to show weird colors.
The second problem was when ever i started a game HL2 in my case the screen would go dark in matter of min's. In Mac osx i had no games that i...
Running dual boot on a new macbook 08 i got all sorts of issues mainly freezes and odd color problems not to mention the noise of the fan...
Also there was a problem with the track pad "It went mad sometimes and did not work at all other times"
