I have a suspicion that the 6950 will be laser-cut quite soon to "repair" the 6970 situation. These early 6950'ies will be gold nuggets.

No artifacts @ 880/1325, haven't tried overclocking. I want...

I wonder if artifacts are due to different timings on the RAM chips (since they use different chips on the 6950'ies and 6970'ies and certain circumstances may "break" certain cards RAM?). And don't...

No, awdflash on a bootable USB stick with dos files. Slots 1+2 were unusable even before the flash (first flash on the board).

She gets a C1 error and a constant boot-loop when there's RAM in either slot 1 or 2 or both.

Question:

A friend of mine has a DFI Lanparty DK 790FXB M2RSH. She had a Phenom 9850BE and two OCZ Reaper PC2-8500C5 sticks in slots 1 and 3. Yesterday she sold her Phenom and bought a Phenom II...

+4 as well.

Funny, that's pretty much a description of the AMD TLB errata. The difference is that they went public and took some time to sort out a fix, yet AMD bombed for it's honesty. Intel on the other hand...

The main point of a software rasterizer/renderer has always been to allow developers to debug, optimize and cross check features for the DirectX/D3D API. I see nothing new here except they've...

I bought a PowerColor HD 4870 PCS+ 1GB yesterday to replace my 8800GT and it's a scorcher. Highly recommended. Already looking for info on RBEditing voltages (will replace the stock cooling goo with...

If that makes you happy then who am I to rock the boat? Seriously, their own 3rd party cooler IS extremely crappy and they most likely found it cheaper to use than the nVidia reference cooler. Why...

I sorted it out in the end.

I hosed my Maximus Formula (x38) the other day and had to buy the cheapest board I could find to get back up and it fell on the P5K SE. Damn cheap motherboard and tiny at that, but at least it works...

Hmm, after googling around a bit it seems E8200/E8400/E8500 all use a TjMax of 95c. That would mean your temps are shown 10 degrees higher than what they actually are. Seen posts about Real Temp...

That doesn't sound right at all. What's the TjMax for your CPU? What temps do you get when you use Real Temp? I noticed that some other CPU utils listed my temps as 10 degrees higher than they...

Well, it's getting to them and working with them that's the problem when you have a big ass heatsink as well as full heatpipe/sink-system on the chipset. If the push-pins had been easily accessible...

I moved from AMD to Intel recently, not having owned Intel since I had a celeron 900 (P3-era) and I'm very happy with the new system. Except for one thing! The bloody push-pin system.

I've got an...

I have to say, modern overclocking is very different from what is used to be. I have an E8200 running on my Maximus Formula 1.03 and the settings in BIOS to get a max stable O/C are just...

nm, seems to be something else!

I take it this technology just disappeared off the face of the earth. Pity, it could've increased the effective performance by ~80%+ in singlethreaded apps.

Result of my hardware hunting:

ASUS Maximus Formula x38 motherboard, 1004 bios
Intel E8200 2.66Ghz Wolfdale C2D
4Gb OCZ Reaper PC2-6400 C4

Ordering a new cooler (probably Scythe MINE) since...

I have one that is driving me mad. I can run Orthos an hour, I can finish a 3dmark06 etc. but when I do a simple Processor Arithmetic bench in Sandra it has never managed to finish a single test, it...

Checking the manual for my Zalman VF1000Cu there are 6 different "settings" where you install nipples depending on card. #6 is 8800-series (excluding 8800GT at least).

#5 was the one that worked...

Thanks, but I've just ordered the only place in my country that had E8200's in stock. It's cheap, and if it's not a good overclocker I'll replace it with something better next month. I've hunted for...

No such luck. The E8400 have been delayed until end of April (earliest). What's up with the extreme lack of Wolfdales? I've looked for E3110's as well, same thing. Placed 2 orders so far that I've...

Ordered Asus P5E and E8400 (E8400 not in stock as expected, arrives 25th of March). Done deal.
