    Some X850 clocking Qs

    Big. Wayne, On your last comment very true it does, but not as much as the stock cooler on my CPU did, it could wake the dead. That was replaced ith an Artic Freezer Pro 7. Regarding your GPU, I think the Silencer has helped I couldn't go above 550 (I think) either on the stock cooler. You...

    Some X850 clocking Qs

    I know I found the same with my X850XT now use ATiTray and set the fan speeds to sensible setting and it now runs at 65c under load, still warmer than I would like ideally but well within the card's tolerances. I also have a Artic Silencer fitted to the card this brought temp down from 72c under...

    Hi which is the best memory to have

    Thanks for the replies. As I presently run at 560/621 stable this confirms Cyber-Mav assertion. However, I have 2 further related queries: a) any suggestions on how I could possibly increase the speed of my GPU? b) my 3dMark05 score is, at best, just over 5000 and usually around 4300. I...

    Were ATI X1800 Users Ripped Off?

    Very true I have a 17" CRT Monitor and I feel that it pays to be behind the times in some ways. I have recently bought a PowerColor X850XT for £150 it was a "this week only" special price and I was being told it was a poor purchase because it was "last year's technology" but at the resolution I...

    Understanding and using Speedfan

    Flashing Bios... oh dear I tried that when I first got a PC in 2001 had to get my mobo replaced! I can feel the sweat running down my neck. I just guess I will have to do it right this time. I have already downloaded the relevent bios a month or so ago. But as you can tell I have not plucked up...

    Understanding and using Speedfan

    Hi, I have recently downloaded this program in order to monitor temps etc. but I must admit I have quickly become confused. As you can see from my screenshot it is clear that my motherboard a MSI MS-7046 v1.X isn't the most sophisticated and some of the readings (-48C and 128C suggest the...

    Which "silent" cooler should I go for?

    I have just ordered an Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. The article in Custom PC was very convincing plus this week I have just fitted an Artic Silencer to my X850XT and I am happy with both its cooling performance and its lack of noise. However, I was also very, very impressed by the testimonials...

    Which "silent" cooler should I go for?

    Hi, As the title I am looking to replace the standard cooler on a P4 3.4GHz Prescott which drives me crazy! I would like something that produces a much reduced sound. Not interested in water cooling. I have been looking at the Thermaltake Big Typhoon but I think it will be to big for my case The...
