Asus probe shows 42C at idle and 52C under load. Im quite sure thats well within safe limits for my processor. I think I have a good case cooling system, and if the CPU temp was too high I think I would have noticed some abnormalities by now.
It would have been nice to have a higher voltage...
There is some very good data recovery software out there for a small price. Im almost 100% sure you will be able to recover your data, from what your system considers an unformatted drive. I seem to remember ontrack being a good piece of software.....
I think playing games would get a bit irritating with the edges of the monitors separating screens. If it were possible to remove the screen edges I would consider this a a good gaming solution.
Neglecting the problem above, I think 3 spanning monitors would be far more immersive in a game...
I think the general concencus of this technology is that is is far too young. If I were you I would wait a few years to buy a card, because at the moment its pretty pointless.
Ok my computer is stable at 2.5GHz under load. Any further increce in FSB creates minor instability, however this could be fixed if my mobo allowed me to set my V-core higher than 1.55v.
Do you think I should bother trying to flash my bios, or is my processor decent enough for the 7900GT?
I have dual CRT monitors and they take up most of my desk space. Im sure I will change to LCD when I get some extra money. But I agree it feels a bit odd when you only have one monitor to use.
Yep but not by much only from 1.8GHz to 1.98GHZ. I was thinking of overclocking it a bit more, but never really got there. I only have a retail heatsink and fan, but Im sure I could overclock it by another 0.20-0.30GHz.
I have a AMD 64 3000+ and an nvidea 6600GT, and have been considering upgrading my graphics card to one of the 7900GT cards. Would I be better off upgrading my CPU before doing this, as it is also quite out of date and I think it would hold my graphics card back a lot if I upgraded.
I cant believe a system would ever consume 700W, mabe a huge server or a supercomputer but for a PC I think this is an exaggeration.
What would a system need to consume 700W ??!
Ive read a few posts with people wanting to swap controller boards to get thier data back. I have a few questions about doing this:
What is the sucess rate?
What are the main complications when attempting to do so?
Can you buy a controller board direct from a manufacturer?
Where can you...
