Hi Justintime, This was the result https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=158CFCC1FED03042&id=158CFCC1FED03042%211758 Seems to show max read of 330721 and max write of 370255 - seems to me like SATA 3G territory?

Hi I made my first venture into the world of SSD but I'm having some issues. Let me first explain my setup. I have an AsRock 890fx Deluxe 4 motherboard. This board has 6x ports connected to AMD SB850. In addition it has 2x ports connected to a Marvell SE9120. At the moment I have...

Hi guys I think I'm having some problems with my new Asrock 890FX Deluxe4 motherboard. I know my hard disks aren't sata 3, but I was expecting better rates than what I'm getting. I'm using all the latest drivers provided by asrock for each controller in these tests. Please see this...

I'm thinking of upgrading some parts in my PC to the spec below, I want to do this before my old parts become unsellable. My budget is about £350 to get this upgrade. My main uses for the PC, Video editing, Photoshop, VMware and gaming. I want to keep all existing parts (in my sig) except for...

I got an Inno3d GTX 470 graphics card as an xmas present, but I'm having a bit of bother with it. The main issue is this: Approx 1 in 10 times of starting up the PC, the graphics card fan doesn't start. If you just leave it, the graphics card overheats and eventually you lose video, a...

Hi Folks, been a while since I built the PC below. I'm now considering upgrading. <current pc spec> MSI Geforce 260 GTX 896MB / Intel Core2 Q6600 @ 3.4Ghz cooled by Zalman CNPS9900-LED / Asus P5Q SE/R Motherboard / 8GB Corsair DDR2 800 / 2 Samsung F1 1tb 32mb cache drive in raid 0 /3X...

Hi, ex Dell employee here. I used to get asked this kind of question a lot. The best answer i can give is NO. You have to be careful as some of these can only use half height cards. The 330 comes in both the Smith and Neo chasis(neo is the smaller of the two) Neo only has a 260watt psu, the...

Hi I asked me fiancee for a new motherboard for xmas, asked her to get the P5q Pro. I planned on using it for overclocking a q6600. Unfortnetly I think she's got me the wrong board and bought this one instead.(spec here...

My monitor is a NEC MultiSync WGX2 20" - I like to play at the monitors native resolution 1680x1050 where possible.

I've not been keeping up with new hardware latley. I'm looking for a graphics card in high-mid-range segment. My current machine is: Leadtek 8800 GTS 640MB AMD X2 6000 + Arctic freezer EVGA nforce 590 SLI 4GB Corsair DDR 800 2 Samsung F1 1tb 32mb cache drive in raid 0 Liteon DVD...

I work for dell technical support (poor me) We send replacment monitors out by courier. the courier will never ask to see the old monitor working. If you phone up dell technical support for a monitor problem just say this: There is No video on my monitor. Monitor led is solid amber...

Jokester you were right, those 84.20's work much better thanks. 84.20's are a beta driver though, I dont understand how they managed to break it with the release of the 84.20s Oh well, at least its fine now and I can get on with some gaming. Cheers.

Yes, SLI is enabled in the drivers, but when i do the "show gpu load balancing" in the control pannel and start the game I cannot see the bars! Its strange, because they appear on any other game i try. I have the latest 84.21's

Just a question about SLI really. I have 2 leadtek 7800gtx cards @ 450/1250 I noticed that when I check the temp display in the drivers for gpu 1 it always seems to be a good bit hotter than gpu 2. After a few hours on oblivion tonight I saw my gpu 1 was 72c and yet gpu 2 was only 56c - both...

Maybe its that the v1000 is a "nice" case, not really much to say about it, doesn't try to look "cool" or "awesome", just kind of plain. Its a great case, I just got the plus version myself, and aside from the problems i had with the hard disk cages its good. Maybe your itching for a full on...

Upgrade the PC! Don't forget you'll be paying £50 per game for the x-box. Also when the ps2 comes out prices are bound to fall. A PC is also so much more useful, and upgradable machine.

So basicly any non-modular psu will be fine? I think I'll be going for the Tagan TG580-U22 580W ATX2.01 2Force SLi Compliant Silent PSU (CA-006-TG) (£70.44 Including VAT at 17.5%) Hopefully that will squeeze enough juice for me. Reason I have so much storage is because Is just...

Thanks I was going to do this, but its not really ideal, I also plan to mod the case with a window so I would like it to look nice and tidy inside LOL. I'm just going for a new PSU. Thinking of Tagan TG580-U22 580W ATX2.01 2Force SLi Compliant Silent PSU (CA-006-TG) (£70.44 Including...

Hi there I got this case today, I was hoping to be able to use my hiper type r 580watt but there is just no way it will fit with all the hard disk brackets inside (and removing one of the brackets is not an option, i have 6 hdds) I was hoping to get a reccomendation of a good PSU to suite...
