    talk about shoddy drivers..

    Thought I was going mad until i read here about crossfire not working with some Dell displays. I've just wasted a whole day trying to fix my display, which now turns off when I try to run any game or run the d3d tests in dxdiag. In other words Crossfire doesn't work on my setup with CCC6.6...

    Swiftech H20-220 Apex "Ultra" ????????

    The rad as pictured in the diagram above is the correct way up. You want to have the outlet at the highest physical point on the radiator (either like the diagram shows or with the rad lying on it's thin side) in order to avoid any air from becomming trapped in the radiator over time. The...

    Would someone with Crossfire working please, please help me?

    The only games I've experimented with CrossFire on/off in order to look for performance differences are F.E.A.R. and X3: Reunion. Both ran markedly improved with CrossFire on according to FRAPS. For everything else I play I've left it on and 'trusted' that it's doing it's job. I haven't...

    water cooling in a lian li v1000+

    The mounting options (as I saw them) were: a) Cut the top of the case and mount it there... kinda half internal half external mounting. Decided against this because the radiator would not be self bleeding and would be influenced by the heat from inside the case. b) Mount it fully...

    Would someone with Crossfire working please, please help me?

    1+2) see sig. 3) Crossfire master in slot closest to processor (slot 1) 4) The crossfire dongle connection between the two cards is on the diagonal (the two choides are diagonal or symmetrical, if you see what I mean. I don't know if it makes any difference) 5) Radeon X1900 CrossFire Edition...

    A8R32-MVP what is it

    Gave me an increase in 3dMark06 of about 30 points to an overall score of 10005. No noticeable difference in any of the games I play, but certainly no decrease in performance.

    BF2 - correct version?

    Recently bought BF2. Had some problems installing it due to not having 3gb of free space on my C partition, despite installing it to a different partition on the same drive. Eventually it did install and seems to play fine even though I had error prompts when installing. The thing is, after...

    BF2 causes reboots at 220+ FSB

    BF2 is stable for me with FX60 oc'd to 3ghz. Crossfire oc'd to 690/800.

    A8R32-MVP what is it

    For me now, it's that whenever I make a change related to overclocking in the bios, I have to save & exit and then power down before the settings will take. If I don't power down then the machine just sits there trying to post but not getting anywhere. TooNice: Have you updated the Sil...

    A battlefield2 thread

    Can anyone tell me how to confirm the version number because although I've patched to 1.3, the game says 1.1.2878-710.0 on the loading screen. Is this normal or did I stuff up the installation somehow? Sorry for the stupid question - just got the game so I'm not familiar with how it works.

    That's not cool. :( What's going on with their quality control? :confused:

    A8R32-MVP what is it

    Yeah same thing happened to me with the X1900 Crossfire board I had to RMA. First they sent a brand new X1900 XTX as a replacement - god knows how that happened but anyway was no good to me for running crossfire. Sent that one back too and received a B-Grade Crossfire board in exchange. It...

    A8R32-MVP what is it

    Well since it's another slow news day... I nearly killed my board last night :eek: Yup. Had been drinking a bit. Well quite a lot really hehe. Went to shut down before bed but accidentally hit restart instead of shut down. Nevermind, I thought, I'll just hold in the power button when...

    New Ear phones???

    Budget? If you're looking at the upper end then I can recommend UE Super.Fi 5Pro's. They go for around £170. Have an excellent soundstage, like the Shure's they're very transparent and they don't suffer with noise from the cord being rubbed that's been mentioned. They come with 5 different...

    Prime stable not game stable?

    Same was true for me. Was Prime stable but games like Quake were crashing out. Bumped up the vcore by one notch and everything ran perfectly.

    Best way to overclock an FX60

    Mine's running @ 3GHZ with 250x12 and 1.375V(+100MV). That's on water. It might go higher but although I was going to try, I haven't got round to it yet (too busy gaming :p) I posted all my settings here. I'm pretty much a noob as far as cpu overclocking goes as this is the first chip...

    Arctic Silver 5 & removal

    I use it and think it's great, albeit a bit pricey. A few drops from the first bottle liquifies the old TIM which then wipes off as easily as anything. A couple from the next bottle is then supposed to prepare the cleaned surface for a new TIM and also prevents flash corrosion. Might be a bit...
