Age of Conan: 9800gx2 or GTX280?

I read that article and it seemed a bit.. um.. disingenious. They said that they compared 4 cards GTX280 GTX260 9800gx2 9800gtx But then they only listed results for GTX280 - blue line GTX260 - sandy brown line 9800gtx - red line 9800gx2 .... ?????? No result listed...

Age of Conan: 9800gx2 or GTX280?

Every review that I have seen has placed the 9800gx2 above the gtx280. I am a gamer. I am using a X48 board and generally don't care to SLI. I have the 9800gx2 (which is SLI on one card) but I can and will upgrade to a single GTX-280 if there is a performance increase in Age of Conan...

X48-DQ6 / q9450 - OC temps: Too high?

Hey Folks... some updates. #1 - As noted on another thread, when I was re-packing up the box, I found a capacitor/diode laying in the bottom of the box. It looked like it had never been soldered on. And - after reading the various threads here about quad vs dual, knowing that my primary...

X48-DQ6 / q9450 - OC temps: Too high?

I went ahead and took the Zalman off, cleaned everything up, reseated it (just in case something had been incorrect before) As to the amount of AS5 (artic silver ) - Last time I used a bit much I think. That being said - core temps still seem to get up there (60 or so using real temp). My...

Where Are The Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 Motherboards?

Last night, I took the board back out, reset the heat sink and for the first time - put the computer vertical (it's been laying on it's side while I've been building it). Immediately, a diaode of some kind - fell off or got unstuck. For the life of me, I can't figure out where it goes -...

Where Are The Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 Motherboards?

Thanks all. I purchased 4x1gb sticks of ballistix 1066 (from frys) - That worked just great. System is up and running - OC'd from 2.66 to 3.0 (no issues so far). About the PSU - If my budget for a new PSU was in the $250 range, what would you suggest?

Where Are The Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 Motherboards?

Unfortunately, I don't have a second PSU/CPU. That being said: I tore the "new" mobo/cpu/ram out (left them all still attached) of my case - put my old mobo/cpu/ram back in - booted up without a problem. Old Rig info: I am using an 18month old 700w PSU by FSP (link to newegg)...

I purchased this board today with a q9450 and 2x2gb Patriot DDR2 1066 (pc6500) memory. Unfortunatly - I don't know whether the board is bad or the memory. Once everything is in - board powers up nice but it won't post. It just goes into a restart cycle almost immediately. I'm not even...
