    Memory failure - Memtest - please help

    Corsair don't do the memory I had any more, but they've sent me something similar, which is good enough.

    I had no idea about that. Does that apply worldwide? That would be perfect.

    Memory failure - Memtest - please help

    Thanks again for the help. I have (eventually) found the bad DIMM. I passed a couple of passes the first time I tried it, but after two DIMMs lasted 8 passes, I tried it overnight, and it failed in less than 2 minutes. So I ran the other 2 together for 8 passes, over 16 hours, no errors. Memtest...

    Memory failure - Memtest - please help

    Thanks for the reply. I haven't got that far yet, but it shouldn't be a slot, as I use the 3 slots usually with my 3 * 2GB, with no issues. I've just finished testing a 2nd DIMM, for nearly 9 hours, 8 passes. Will do the last one overnight. If that works, maybe I'll do a pair, or I'll try one...

    Memory failure - Memtest - please help

    I set the timings to 9-9-9-24, inserted the 3 * 4GB sticks and ran memtest. Memtest failed in under 2 minutes.

    This is the only time I've had to deal with memory failure, so I don't know what I'm doing :) I built my PC close to 10 years ago: i7 930 Asus p6x58d-e https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P6X58DE/ 6 GB Corsair XMS 3 DDR3 TR3X6G1600C9 - 3 lots of 2 GB - timing 9-9-9-24 1.65V A few years after I...

    SSD and Marvell sata 3 issues - possible move to sata 2

    Thanks. I will start loading everything, and see how I get on with sata3 (6gbs). Probably back to sata2 in a few days.

    SSD and Marvell sata 3 issues - possible move to sata 2

    Great, thanks. If doing that, would I leave the MB set to AHCI? I don't yet know what the RST driver is. I'm not running a raid set-up, just one SSD. My intel connections are just sata 2.

    SSD and Marvell sata 3 issues - possible move to sata 2

    Happy new year all I have an Asus P6x58D-E and a new Crucial M4 128gb SSD. I have updated my MD bios to the latest 0701, my M4 has the latest version 0009 firmware, and I'm currently trying the Marvell 1.0.0.1045 driver for my Sata 3 connections. When this fails (I have low confidence right...

    Crucial’s M4 SSD is inherently faulty - AVOID

    Really? I rely on my PC, but I don't back up my OS. I back up important data all the time, but if my OS drive crashed it would be a pain I'd rather avoid. But having had a PC since 1994, and having never had a single drive failed (I realise I'm going to now), I am probably a little complacent...

    6950 flashed to 6970

    Yep, that sounds just like investors. Down the pub after work... Investor 1 - Good day today, made a packet on the shift in oil price Investor 2 - Yeah I didn't get in on that, I've been concentrating my investments in AMD recently, and while my sentiment is that it's great that geeks have got...

    An easy one: What's the best VC for a 520W PSU?

    I'd get the 6950 and flash it to be a 6970. Even if you didn't do that, it's a good choice. Flashed it has similar performance to a 570, but is a lot cheaper (at least it is in the UK). But that's only if you could do with the improved performance. If your current card is good enough, then wait...

    greater than 100% scaling? really?

    Don't be rude Seero, I've spent some time explaining to you the flaw with your equation. I haven't tried to keep the number under 2, I've told you how it is worked out (ie, why it's not simply 133% x 133% x 133%). If 2 cards are scaling above 100% (allowing for errors) that's because of...

    greater than 100% scaling? really?

    Yes I agree, but picking a spike on one graph and showing it against a graph from a different setup run at a different time is not an example of >2x scaling. That's two different things. Margin for error is one thing, a spike on one graph against a different graph run at a different time is...

    greater than 100% scaling? really?

    You can't take 1 split second in time in two different runs to compare a single card vs crossfire. Overall, the crossfire does not perform twice as well as a single card.

    Decided to return XFX 6950 unopened

    Don't worry about it Wolf. You get people claming the strangest things on these forums, and when you said you were sending it back it's bait to all fanboys from whichever side. That poor card has had a journey, I just hope it works without trouble when you get it.

    greater than 100% scaling? really?

    No, the maths doesn't work like that (ie, you have the wrong equation). If each individual factor were to have equal effect on total performance, doubling the performance of each factor does not increase overall performance by a third. It would be a fifth for the first factor, a quater for the...

    greater than 100% scaling? really?

    No, we can't. As I said already, increasing the performance of 1 of those functions by 33% doesn't increase the performance of the whole unit by 33%, unless it is basically responsible for all of the time. For example, i/o takes a milisecond, memory use takes a milisecond, GPU takes an hour...

    i7 at 4.1 : what video card(s) should I pair with it?

    Well most of us choose to save a bit of money, but he's asking about top performance. You don't have to have high AA for a great gaming experience, but surely it improves the experience a little, otherwise what's the point in it?

    Gtx 580 vs?

    Lads, lads, we've all had a drink, let's not ruin the evening. Excellent chioce of cards, they should give you some great performance. I didn't make it through the whole thread, but as you'll know, your PSU is an issue. Can you get hold of any equipment to test the load on your system as you...

    i7 at 4.1 : what video card(s) should I pair with it?

    Why wouldn't he crank the AA to x32 (nvidia only)? If you're going to build something that fast, surely that's the point.

    i7 at 4.1 : what video card(s) should I pair with it?

    For most game I think you're right (that it's your GC that will bottleneck), but there will be some games (like flight sims) that will push your cpu more than the average, and bottleneck sooner. 570, 580 and 6970 are all good choices, but if you won't miss the cash there's no reason for you not...

    greater than 100% scaling? really?

    Yes we all know that. Ok, theoretically you could have a situation where a game just wouldnt run with 1 card, but it would with 2, so your limit is suddenly infinity (a bit more than 8). But with cards that are capable of running a game properly on their own, I'm not sure off the top of my head...

    greater than 100% scaling? really?

    We're all against you Seero :) I totally understand that a theoretical limit can be far from reality, so no problem with your maths there, but I don't think multiplying different factors has anything to do with the theoretical limit. If there are, as in your example, 3 functions for a graphics...

    Driving Dual-Monitors @ 1680x1050

    I'm dual monitor with a GT6600 (stand back), and it's as happy as larry, it's just the multi-tasking of running the game and web at the same time that I figured would be a push with his memory. I find myself in an extremely unusual situation. I actually agree with happy.

    Driving Dual-Monitors @ 1680x1050

    Well although your PC can run 2 monitors no problem, it's not a quick PC, and I'd have thought you'd struggle to get good game settings whilst browsing the web on another page. I think you'd be better just alt-tabbing out of game to read the walkthrough every now and then. What hardware are you...

    Driving Dual-Monitors @ 1680x1050

    I ran dual monitors with a similar system to you (same MB & Zalman, older GC and CPU), and it was fine, but what do you mean by game on one and web-page on the other - you want to surf while you game? Are you talking about a turn based strategy game or something?

    problem with nvidia 8800gts

    Yes, borrow one. You must know someone that you can just borrow a monitor from. It sounds like something has broken, so you need to try everything. You could take your PC or monitor to someone's house to test.

    GTX 580 Soft Launched ? - Out of Stock at all Major E-tailors...

    There is very low availability of the 580 in the UK. Some sights state how many they have in stock, and you can track the number until they're out of stock, and it's a fair time before they get any more. It may be that nvidia tried to make enough, but they have been more popular than expected...

    GTX570 SLI vs HD6970 CF @ 1920x1200

    No, that's not what I said at all. I said that there's more chance of the 6970 performance (speed) improving with new drivers, simply because it's a bigger change from the 5xxx series. As things stand now dual 6970 already beats dual 570.

    Should I Send The XFX HD 6950 Back?

    Hi Wolf, welcome. The 570 is a bit more expensive and a bit better than the 6950, both are good cards. At 1080p both will do well. But... since you've got some catching up to do, there are tons of great games for you to play that any modern card will take in their stride. I'd recommend checking...

    GTX570 SLI vs HD6970 CF @ 1920x1200

    I'm using an Eizo Coloredge, but you can go eyefinity with different brands either side of it.

    GTX570 SLI vs HD6970 CF @ 1920x1200

    I'd go 6970 in this instance. Same price is a bonus, CF scaling seems a little better than SLI this round, and with the 6xxx series being newer (and bizzarely slow in some cases) there's more chance of improved performance from new drivers.

    89c too hot for 6970?

    Run a test, then slide your power control back to default and run again. The reviews I read suggested that there was little to gain increasing the slider at standard clocks.

    gtx570vs6970vs6950vs5870 all overclocked review> gtx570 wins

    So the gtx580 is about the same (a tie) as a card costing $140 less. And the gtx570 beats another card that's cheaper. But the 6970 clearly beats the 570 (at the res you're talking about). What? Don't miss a beat - it's really tricky getting that third screen to work properly on a gtx card.
