well, I did tell him he had to clean the filters when he vacums, and the inside of the computer about once a year. But it had only been 10months and his computer had way to much dust already, I just need to seal that case somehow
About 10 months ago I built a budget PC for my friend, and I used a Corsair 300r.
The case comes with an intake 120mm at the front and an exhaust 120mm at the back. I added another 120mm intake at the front, plus another 120mm exhaust at the top.
Couple days ago I went to his place to fix...
Step1) I already know the multiplier / voltage I want, I found out in the Asus Suite
Step2) This is exactly what I'm asking in this thread. How can I make automated functions to get me the voltage I want..?
Step3) Damn dude.. I have no idea what C3 and C6 are..?
no, regular = 0%, and by default it's set to auto, which selects the regular.
And yeah I could probably get the O/C I want using the oldschool manual voltage, but my computer uses around +110watts when just running a prime95 run. It's powered on 24/7 so using offset mode would save me a good amount
Well put this simply here is my setup :
CPU : 3770k
Mobo: Asus z77 sabertooth
Cooler : noctua nh-d14
Case : CM Haf-X
I did a simple overclock in offset mode using a 45multiplier.
Result: The CPU runs at around 74-79degrees celcius under prime95 load. CPU-Z reports a vCore of 1.36-1.37v. Which...
Regardless of what O/C I have, core3 is always much hotter than the rest. Also 4.7 is very healthy right now with a 1.29vcore.
Also the load temps on the screenshot are load temps from IntelBurntest which brings the CPU much hotter than any game I run. Planetside2/Crysis3 and others get me...
I have already made research about the subject and found people saying a 10degrees difference doesn't matter, but the thing is for me core#3 on idle runs 12-20degrees more than the coldest core.
During load the difference is much less, but it is still core#3 that runs from 4 to 12 degrees...
So a co-worker of mine came to me today and told me he wanted a simple desktop computer mostly use for web browsing. He want a fast machine that does just that.
I asked him if he was going to watch/store music and/or videos? He said not.
So I told him he should get a computer with a SSD drive...
My computer has 3 monitors in NVIDIA surround configuration. I also have very special sound settings with my creative X-FI card that I want to use when gaming.
Long story short, I also have my television pluged in my system (pluged with HDMI and has to be disabled for NVIDIA Surround to work)...
I got this CORSAIR Professional Series HX1050 1050W PSU, to power up my new rig.. basically Intel 3770k IVY with dual GTX 670 sli.
Whenever my computer is under heavy GPU load, the PSU starts doing some weird sound. And it's really just under HEAVY GPU load.
Video convertion / Prime 95= no...
I understand that..
But with my Bloomfield i7 930, when I was overclocking it, in the post screen it would show the right clock.. i7 930 @ 3.9ghz
Guess they changed that microcode...
Ok heres what I did..
Unchecked the box completly.. rebooted. Now the option is back from 1 to 8. And CPU-ID shows 4 cores
Now should I put 8 cores.. ? isn't the 3770k a 4cores cpu..?
edit: yea switched the option to 8 cores, and CPU-ID shows I have 4 cores.. I'm so confused
Wow that's weird, I switched it back to default value : 1.
Rebooted.. and now I'm at 1 core.. but I can't change the option anymore!
http://i.imgur.com/SvleW.png
CPU-Z shows 1 core, and Real Temp only reports temp from one core
1. I used an overclock ratio/voltage I've seen online witha similar CPU. I thought I'd use the settings and keep in eye on my temp right just to see. After seeing my temps were still 30ish.. I kept them..
2. I understand some program dont recognize overclock but the POST Screen should.. no?

Well I received my new parts yesterday and took the entire day assembling and installing windows.

Ok firstly I'll admit I was lazy and did an error, when I installed my new HDD I didn't unplug de powercord.
Mobo : GA-X58A-UDR3
CPU : i7 930
HDD: Crucial C300 SSD

1x Seagate 500mb
This morning I tried installing a 3rd Seagate drive (2TB)
When I...
Had no idea what CHDK was
So far from what I read, it's a small software you install on your SD card that .. adds feature to your camera?
In what kind of situation do you feel CHDK helps you? Is it a really significant improvement?
I'm looking to buy a Canon SX30. Now I know this device doesn't require more than a class6 SD Card, but a quick look at newegg showed me that Class10 cards are exactly the same price.
So I'm thinking Class10 is probably better but... will it be compatible with the device?
Also would Class10...
well firstly, initially I was using just one of those cables for something else. And I had exactly the same problem. The first one I had happens to be another brand to.
And I'm not going to throw away all these extensions and buy other stuff just because I can't boot when they're connected.. :|
yea I use 2x (cables) 16' and 3x16' to get to the TV which is more than 30'. This is exactly why I use active extension and not regular extensions. Plus my problem isn't related to signal lost, my peripheral are working just fine. My problem is computer boot.. :)

So I bought a bunch of these to use a racing/wheel, headset on my HDTV. Everything works perfectly.
I only have this one annoying issue : If any of these cable are pluged in, when I reboot my computer, it won't post it'll hang on the...
With my new GTX480 videocard came a HDMI output, which I decided to output on my TV using a 30foot or so cable. This works great, the only problem is getting up to the computer every time I need to start a new movie or whatsoever. (I just bought a G27 wheel and playseat race simulator I want to...
With the revolution of SSD and the latest performance of my E6750 / 8800gtx on the latest games convinced me it was time for an upgrade.
So here's my situation:
-Good budget
-Looking for a very fast computer for gaming
-Looking for a very stable machine
-NOT looking to overclock anything
I...
I've been trying to figure this out for to long, please help :)

A friend of mine called and he said after yesterday's thunderstorm there was a powersurge and that his computer was shutdown when he came back home (he keeps it online).
Now it says :
"Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press any key"
I...
So yeah I just upgraded my monitor and selling my old one. It's a NEC/Mitsubishi 991SB, 19inch CRT Monitor. Someone emailed me and he is interested in it, he asked me if it's compatible with Macintosh? I'm like... ..ehh.. NO CLUE!? .. I know nothing at all about macintosh :(
Hopefully...
I remember NVIDIA use to do some pretty nice 3D screensaver.. I had the orb one. And today I went on their website (nzone.com) thinking they've probably released new screensavers.. but it doesn't seem so.
I have a 8800GTX, and I'd like a screensaver that make use of it in some way.. something...
ok, so let's say I don't care that the drive letter is D.
Let's say all I want to do is format my old drive and erase the old window installation, how do I do?
1. Pluged the new HD in Sata1, placed the old HD in Sata2
2. Rebooted computer and booted on WinXP CD
3. Installed WinXP on my new HD, and didnt touch the old HD with the old windows.
thats pretty much it
wow! You mean I'm forced to format again just for that, there has to be another solution
why does windows prevent you from deleting / formating ANOTHER intsallation of windows that's not even being used anyway? whats the reasoning behind that
Well long story short, I just bought a new HD, on which I installed a fresh WinXP. And even if this new HD is pluged in the SATA1 plug, and has his priority set to first in the boot.. windows sees it as D: (I'd want it to be C: )
I decided to clear all my old hard drive and format it, but...
it has already been 2 days since I installed vista, and when I go in System in control panel.. it says
"3 day(s) until automatic activation. Activate windows now"
Why is it still at 3 days? did something bug hehe
im doing something illegal? lol I paid for my license
but hey should I just call again and tell em.. well you know I bought an OEM Vista on eBay and I just decided to change my computer and that's it?
so over 30minutes later, they told I have to contanct my computer manufacturer and that THEY should be taking care of this issue.
OR
I could call with a microsoft technician (which is something like 65$ to speak to or something like that) and MAYBE he could resolve that.
Thing is I...
