Well, you should check what temps your chipset is running at. Ive been told that as long as its below about 50 degrees and the system is stable, you should be ok.

ATI Tool can record temp info, which is represented in a graph. Not sure what the time period is, but youll get the idea.

Still considering wether to get it or not. Agreed EVILer, too many games coming out, not enough cash. Looking for a decent multiplayer to invest in tho

Just another thing that i heard recently that im a bit unclear on. Someone told me that according to international laws, local bandwidth is supposed to be uncapped/free and that Telkom found some loop hole to dodge this? Is this true or not?

LOL!! Thats Telkom for you.

I just want to say: I HATE TELKOM... TELKOM MUST DIE... THEIR SUPPORT STAFF ARE A BUNCH OF MONGLOIDS. What i dont understand is that Telkom make OODLES of profit each year and their top management get paid almost more than our countries top government officials. How can the exchanges not be water ti...

Talked to a guy at top cd just now. Crysis is expected on the 20th. www.btgames.co.za is expecting it on the 16th (check under new release schedule). Also got it ordered, but no mouse pad? :? :evil: <- evil santa 0wnz j00! :P The only major difference in dx10 compared to dx9 that i could recognise ...

I wouldnt go for the 2900 XT, the 8800s outperform them hands down afaik. I got a 8800GTS 640mb and im very happy with it.

Atm my DRAM : FSB ratio is 4 : 3 respectively and my bandwidth reading in everest says my ram is at 14379mb/s and my fsb is at 10784mb/s.

Does this mean my fsb is actually bottlenecking??? Or am i getting it wrong??

I read the instructions again. Apparently it takes 200 hours for the particles to settle in the gaps. But you cant just leave your system on for 200 hours straight, it needs to cool down to room temp every now and then to be effective. I just re applied my paste and now im running about 4 degrees lo...

Im loving my q6600.

Damn..

Ok thanks.

This is the Jericho demo your talking about right??

No, i havent had any problems using the demo.

Where can i get Team Fortress 2 from?? I have a copy of HL2 game of the year edition aswell as episode 1, or do i HAVE to get the orange box title? :/

I recently got myself some arctic silver 5 (used the thermalpaste that came with my ultra 120 extreme before), saw about a 2 degree drop in temps. I read somewhere that it takes some time to become more conductive? Has anyone thats used arctic 5 seen more of a drop later on??

No prob fiber-optics. DJT, not from ethereal, from shadowfire.

I didnt sense the humour in it either, but its all good, no hard feelings. You guys must have a good night.

Laters

whoa, quite an ego trip your on there djt. whatever works for you.

Thanks Rob, appreciate it.

LOL

His reply was cocky and i was just asking a question, no hard feelings. The word blinked out was sh.t <-- i wasnt really going on that heavily.

Thanks for the wiki post thEnaileDonE, i should have thought of that.

Respect to all the 1337 1000+ regulars... you rock.

Yeah, thanks for the cocky reply. Your the **** kiddo.

Anyone else?

Can anyone explain the difference between a large FFT and a small FFT test in prime95?

ok. well to be more specific, if i press down moderately hard with my fingers onto the copper, it takes about 3 seconds for it to start burning..

My ASUS Striker Extreme motherboard temperature, according to Everest and PCProbe, reaches around 46 degrees. I was wondering if this is too hot? When i touch the North Bridge and South Bridge copper cooling it burns my fingers almost instantaneously. I know some programs like PCProbe report the inc...

Ahh i got it sorted!! Flashed the bios again, and voila!! dunno if i accidentally selected the newer bios or what, but its all good. Thanks for your post Rob!! Dunno why ASUS releases a newer bios that is even ****** than the old one. Heard they had some troubles with their updating utility aswell. ...

even if i set the fsb to 1286 i get the same problem, seems very sensitive to the 1280 boundry...
