I just bought one 2GB stick of RAM (KVR1333D3N9/2G) to test with, i tried with the same settings, 1333Mhz 9-9-9-24 with the same result as the Corsair memory =( I have now tried a different memory, HDD, disconnect the DVD and now i really don't know what to do. I tried the 10-10-10-25 + upping the V...

Hi! I'm back again after a been away for a while. I have now lowered the speed of my memory to 800Mhz. I turned the memory clock down to x4.00 and the system is much more stable, i did not alter any of the timings. I ran Prime95 (with the same settings as before) and ran error free for 4 hours befor...

Hi again!! Now i have been running Prime95, well trying to run would be more accurate =) I ran the torture test with the deffault settings (do i need to change anything maybe?) and heres the result 1 run - System halt in test 3 2 run - System halt in test 1 3 run - System halt in test 4 4 run - Syst...

May I was a bit unclear I sure will test to loosen the timings of my RAM to what you suggested! It just that i haven't had the time to do it yet since this testing takes a lot of time. Sometimes my system can run clean for 4-8 hours before a system halt and when it happends i'll have to reset the ch...

I went to asktheramguy, Corsair tech support and asked them to check my settings for the RAM which were fine. He also recommended to up the volt for the RAM so i tried the suggested number but the random halts are still present. Btw i have gotten help decipher the minidumps from the BSOD and those a...

Now i have been running Memtest86+ for 25h without any errors and i disabled the Cool n' quiet function to see of that was the troublemaker, but i still get the random halts. I ran Ubuntu from a CD for 3-4 hours wihtout any problems, will have to try that for a longer period. Tomorrow i will run the...

Hi all and thanks for youre replies, have been away for the weekend but now i'm back for some more trial and error. This can now be added to the Tried so far list. - Bank 1 and 3 - Single channel mode with Ganged mode - Tested the RAM sticks on by one in singel channel mode and in both ganged/ungang...

Hi all! ## General description ## I just bought some new hardware and it is giving me a problem that i don't know what to do with. After the assembly and installation of a OS the computer hangs/freezez from time to time. I haven't found a single action that is causing this it is totally random, i co...

Hi!

Thank you very much for the very informative answer. Just the info i was looking for.

The order has been placed and i'm looking forward to build the computer and test your suggestions.

Thanks again!

Hi people! I'm getting close to finalizing my new build. This computer will mostly be used for gaming and general tasks like surfing etc. While performance is important i would also like to make this system reasonably quiet. I have been out of the loop for to long and hoping that you could give me s...

Thx for the replies!

Now i can lean back and keep on playin WoW =D

Hi all.. I just bought a GF 7600GS that are passively cooled from Gigabyte and was just wondering what is concidered hot and cool operating temps for a card like this... When i have played WoW for 1-2 hours with max on all graphics settings it reads ~75 degrees C...Is that an accepteable temp or is ...

k, thx

Just curios, why sell the NewCastle and keep the ClawHammer?

k, thanks a lot you have been most helpful..

Have you done any measuring of your own on your DFI board? And what BIOS did you use and did you find that the sensors under- or overreported the temp?

The HD was brand new from dealer..Can't understand why i can't install it?? I just thought that i've read somewhere that the NF3 chipset was called NB :oops: gonna have to look that up.. I know that they are working on the temp readings when i first installed the Smartg whit shippping BIOS all temps...

Got a couple of questions for you people with this mobo, i think Edward NG have the same mobo as i have.. First, when i'm about to install Nvidia Forceware Network Access Mngr, after installing the chipset drivers about half way through the install i get this error message: Error 1609. An error occu...

I don't know how other NF3 boards handle the NB heat but this DFI board gets HOT..I haven't done any OC everything is running at stock speed and after 1 hour of just surfing, playing mp3's etc, just everyday stuff, the NB HS is so hot i can't keep my finger on for more than a few seconds.. I can't u...

Ok, now it's on its way..Even if i have to cut away a couple of rows of fins it must be much better than the stock HS..That is not a good HS..I think i'll try the plier and bending aproach first and if that doesn't work out for me i'll have to borrow a Dremel..

Thx for your replies people.

Ok, sounds good..I think i'll go with that HS since it has a really low price and from what i understand does a good job of transfering heat.. How did you cut those fin rows off, some kind of metalsaw? If it's possible could you post a pic how it looks? I don't have a video card that big right now b...

Hi My HS on the NB i running so hot you can't barely touch it so i'm gonna change it to some aftermarket HS..Any good suggestions? I would like it to be fanless and if possible still have room for bigger videocard like the 6800 etc..I've been looking at the ZM-NB47J, don't know if that will clear an...

Hi everybody. I'm waiting for my XP-90 cooling for my A64 3200+ and the fan that i ordered to use with it is out f stock and will be for quite some time and i am now considering a PAPST 3412NGL. Can somebody with more experience than me on the fan subject tell me if this is a good fan in terms of co...

Hi Jordan

Maybe the XP-90 should do the trick?

116Lx96Wx75H mm with a PAPST 92mm 3412NGL

The Zalman isn't that much smaller so i'll guess that they both are out of the question?

Hi people I have finally decided my new system setup the only thing i haven't really decided yet is the cooling solution for the CPU. It stands between these two: Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu and Thermalright XP-120 with a PAPST from the recommended list My system is gonna look like this Antec SLK3700BQE D...

I saw that i have forgotten to list the name of the ASUS mobo i was considering :? Sry i was tired when o wrote the post. Anyway the boards i am looking at are MSI K8N Neo Platinum and Asus K8N-E Deluxe.. Straker, those problems with memory could those be solved by BIOS updates in the future or are ...

Hi everybody. After doing som reading up on A64 socket 754 i have come up with this new system and would be glad for any type of comments or other recommendation. Antec SLK3700BQE Athlon 3000+ 1024 MB Kingstone value ram (I'm not gonna overclock) CNPS7000A/B-Alcu with Arctic Silver 5 NEC ND-3500A DV...

Did a quick search and found a lot of interesting reading about A64..Seems to have a nice performance vs cooling..Gonna spend some time doing some reding up on the AMD mobos and so forth.. Anybody have some good pointers to a good mobo in the pricerange and with similair features as the Asus P4800C-...

[quote="HammerSandwich"] Do you already have the HD? If not, buy an 0812C - that 8mb buffer helps.[/quote] Yes, it currently sits in my system and is pretty new and i'm a bit short on money for now but i will add a few more disks later on, SATA 8MB cache.. I think i will go with the value line of Ki...

How about Kingston value RAM line? Are they any good? I've been lookin at the Crusial Ballistix since they seems to be a popular brand..I was thinking of going with 2x512 but couldn't find any dual kits..Is it safe to buy 2 singel modules and run them in dual mode or is there a high risk for incompa...

Hi. Thx for answering..I will go with the Asus board and when i looked at the pricing for 2x512 RAM it was actually cheaper then going with 4x256 so i going to wait until i have the money and go with 2x512 instead.. By the way anybody know of any problem with Twinmos memory? It looks like the brand ...

Hi everybody. I'm about to buy me a new mobo and it stands between these two: Asus P4C800-E Deluxe This board seems to have good performance and being stable. It seems to work good with most of the different memories out there and overall get good score in hardware reviws. and Aopen AX4SPE Max II Th...
