hmmm to my knowledge you should have the big 120 mm fan on the psu facing down (theres enough space to draw air through the bottom. im just trying to think where your cpu is getting air from. maybe reverse the fan at the top and see what happens?

or try doing a repair installation if you're not that into the macabre

with that bra there would, for once, actually be a point to finishing a rubiks cube.

try booting in safe mode with networking and see if it still freezes

also try flashing the bios. my board did not want to run 1066 till i flashed the bios

He-Man FTW!!!!

I mean i played cluedo and monopoly as a kid, but you dont see me smacking my neighbour in the head with a candlestick in his library because he stands in the way of me buying up the whole street!

yes bottlenecking is quite a pain in the genitals. im having a bit of probs with it. because i cant find the longer crossfire bridges that came with my board (yes, i lost them alright!) i have to run both my cards in 8x pci-x mode. im trying to find a workaround but it does prove to be a rather larg...

the access times on the 74gb version is faster that the 150 gb one. maybe two of them in raid 0? toms hardware had a good hard drive shootout a while back.check the chart things out otherwise

im running 2x3850's on a 500 watt power supply so i rate its not that. has it ever been working? did he do something to make it start freezing? try changing memory, g card and if you can processor.

not the best solution but a temporary one i hope for your sake

Does that mean EAX doesnt work in vista? or doesnt it work at all

yeah the ati cards run that hdmi thing that adds an extra audio device. otherwise just get a second card. youre saying you dont want to spend money on something you dont need (sound) but this thread exists purely because you dont have sound. i say you need it. 200 bucks for an audigy value. come on,...

Stick with AMD!

i know your mom says dont listen to me but save 1000 bucks and get an MSI k9a2 platinum board. its great! 790 fx chipset. 4 pci express ports (thats quad crossfire) and its much cheaper than the closest competition for no reason.

ive got as Antec 500 watt and its pretty sweet. you'd probably want to go for something bigger but the modular thing is definately something to go for! it'll cost extra but its rad. not more cluttered crows nest to work with!

shh they're coming

Ive got a samsung 940 mw and its fantastic. no problems whatsoever

sounds like a "fell off the back of a truck" kinda deal

250 MB/s vs 500MB/s (theoretical data speeds of course)

they are backwards compatible but you'll probably find itll bottleneck your system

i know they update the ccc too

im busy downloading now. hope it does something for 3850

high 5!

No problems dude. if you want some photos of the case in action and the points of advice let me know. its no sweat.

Id also like to know the answers to those PSU questions cos i have no idea what they are talking about

Im sure you'll need it soon enough. but like with the 3850 it took 6 months for 1gb model to surface. can you want that long for sweetass graphics?

thats slave money!
