Thanks for the suggestions! :) I think i'm at the most up to date BIOS for the MOBO, had to be for this particular processor. I'll give them a try at the weekend and see how I get on. Ta!! :)

I think i'm going a bit mad but my E8400 was quite happily overclocked at 4.05Ghz without any problems, however no it won't go past stock. And I don't mean it crashes or is unstable. All the settings in the BIOS are still set to as thet were for the overclock and the speed set at 4.05Ghz (450...

Dammit!! UT3 is still crashing with these for me! :( Kinda hoped they'd fix it after 181.20!

On (another) side note, what cards would these be? :)

I think what the others are saying is true, you'd notice a huge diff with a new card but not so much with the new CPU. I just (very) recently went from exactly the same as you (E2140@3Ghz) to an E8400 (Oc'd to 4.05Ghz) however GPU wise i'm running an 8800gt (oc'd to 740/940/1800). More CPU...

+1 for the UT3 problem, it seemed alright at first but now it's just crashing all the time! The card's not overclocked or anything all settings are default, absolutely no idea what's going on!! :( It's crashing when trying to load a DM map, sometimes it gets in game but then crashes seconds later.

Thanks!! :) Thinking at this price I could pick one up and a PSU and get a new processor/RAM in a couple of months! Now, what processor to choose!! ;)

I know you're all prob sick of these questions but i'm seriously tempted by one of these but i'm unsure if something in my system will hold it back, I have as follows: [email protected] OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 BFG 8800gt Gigabyte P35C DS3R Corsair...

Thanks for the quick replies, i'll get that done and post my results! :) Thanks again!

I think it may be the other way round, I may have put on too much! Also I don't think it was distributed very evenly, if it's likely to be causing higher temps than should be I'll try reapplying it at some point in the week. Thanks for the fan recommendation!

Morning all! I've just switched my system into an NZXT Hush and while it's really quiet the cooling's not especially fantastic, should I replace the two 120mm fans that come with, was thinking about a couple of Noctua NF-P12's? Also i've just put a Thermalright HR-03-GT on my 8800GT (with...

I tried but maybe i'm doing it wrong. Where would I do that in rivatuner?

I've not got the necessary cables to do that. I've got a monitor I use as normal but I also had the HDTV set up as an extended desktop (ATI) or now dual-view (nVidia) and bought a component cable specifically for this purpose (not cheap). I don't know how it was possible with ATI and now...

This has got me tearing my hair out!! Got the new 8800gt (Yay :) ) and it works beautifully!! However, i'm having trouble setting up my HDTV to work with it. I had it all set up perfectly on my old ATI x1650 pro with my TV set at 1920x1080 @ 30hz refresh rate. If it's set to 60Hz at this res...

Oh about the OC2's they may be in as well I've just been told but they've not been checked in yet. So they may be here too! :)

Booya!! Had the BFG OC2 preordered but now that the OC is in decided just to change it and OC it myself. Should be here by Thursday at the latest!! Bout time, oh btw there's only about 20+ left so be quick if you're thinking bout it!! :)

Cheers!! :) And good luck to you if you're problems are still ongoing! I'll check in again tomorrow!!!

Wow looks like you had a pretty hard time with it!!!!! Yeah i'm gonna leave returnin it until i'm absolutely certain it's the mobo at fault. I think that maybe the system set up that came with the PC is specifically for the hardware it came with (well, mobo and cpu at least) so i'm gonna give...

Yeah a link would be great vantorsen thanks! I've searched all over the place and seems a restart issue is quite common with these boards although it tends not to get past the POST screen on the forum posts i've read. It's looking like an RMA is likely! :( @BillytheImpaler I thought that at...

Evening all, I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem I'm havin with some new parts and I'm tryin to establish whether or not the motherboard's at fault. It's the Gigabyte GA_P35C_DSR3 (rev 1.1) and I've heard about lots of problems that you may have with this board. At first it wouldn't go...
