A friend of mine did this, you are not the first. Too many monitor inputs! Check the OC settings are still there since the bat was removed (unless you didn't move the jumper).

Primarily games. I had the E overclocked for a while until this summer just gone, when i could not bear the heat in my room, plus issues with my old GFX card warranted returning to stock, so it went back to stock and has stayed since. I will likely eventually OC the Q but my initial...

Yeah mine's the rev 3.3, but I see your point. Do you think the jump from an E to a Q 6600 would be noticable? You mentioned a 9550, also unofficially supported on my board. Worth looking at? Searching used CPUs now - thanks for advice so far.

Hi has anyone got a setup that includes the DS4 mainboard and a Q9400? Gigabyte website says the CPU is supported in BIOS F12, but not 'officially' supported. Anyone have any experience with these two components? I'm looking for an intermediate upgrade without changing MB/RAM and the...

I got the Gigabyte 1GB one after reading up on it on the interweb. Really impressed with the noise levels and temperatures - GB seem to have put some thought into this like most of their stuff. My old card used to heat up the mainboard something crazy.

Call it psychological trauma after 2 x failures and BFG going under. Anyhow, I've since replaced with a nvidia 460. :) Thanks everyone for the advice, knew it was a good idea to ask here.

That's a point - I would like an efficient, quiet card - even if it might compromise slightly on performance. Reviews tend to rate Sapphire's high-end cooler equipped cards, but then reviews in general tend to contradict each other on the noise subject. It's pretty difficult choosing a vendor...

Yeah you're right :) Guilty by association though!

I should probably add... Budget is ~200 PSU in use is 620w Corsair MB in use is Gigabyte 965P-DS4 Won't be using SLI/Xfire Won't be OC'ing 1920/1200

Haha, I was going to auction it for spares/repair. I'll look into the 460, but I've been left a bit anti-nvidia after my recent experience. Probably un-justified really!

I've done some research and my thoughs are that a good cost-effective upgrade from my double-dead 8800 GTX would be the Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5830 I know I could probably spend even less and still get significant improvements, but this card seems to be held in high regard. Anyone have any...

My recently RMA-replaced 8800GTX died a few weeks ago too, I got the same email. Damn it. ATI next month I think

Just RMA'd my 3.5yr old 8800 GTX OC today - died the other day! This news is a shame really - their warranty offerings have always given me that extra piece of mind about my £400+ investments over the years! Saying that, never had an Nv card last over 3 years...! Spending £££ on graphics...

I saw that on the MS site too. Unfortunately whoever originally installed the server did not fill this document in. :(

We have a SBS2003 system that was not installed by us. We need to add some more CALs but do not know which ones to purchase (per device or per user) because we can't find a way to determine what licensing 'mode' the SBS2003 system was originally installed in. Anyone know if it's even possible...

Now these are the threads I like to read when I get home from work. Excellent :D

Greenlight - thumbs up here! If you meet their criteria they are very good to go with, especially if your car is modified. Recommended.

Haha, touché!

I witnessed a minor accident due to a lane straddler as mentioned in post 16. Guy just pulled out in front of another guy proceeding to merge. Luckily it was low speed. It's becoming too common - so dangerous.

This probably isn't helpful, but so true! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5tTDKcXmlA I give up with people not knowing the rules! We're not trying to push in!! :)
