Hey guys - I'm not so hot on the very top end of hardware at the moment and could do with a little advice: Recent upgrade!: BFG GTX 295 AMD Penom II X4 940 AM2+ (Bought for a free overclock up to 3.42ghz - very stable with no extra power) And a clean and crisp install of vista 64 ult. In 3d...

Yeah i read that- pretty good about bloody time! Hopefully they will also standardise that to be the data interface also!

Getting any hard drive errors in event viewer? You can check SMART error counters of all hard drives in speedfan (see sig) Um are you still using a maxtor and a samsung in a raid??, should always match the hdd's exactly for maximum stability.

Aha i remember that being an very steep learning curve - i think i used like every potion I had to get through that - are you doing the enhanced version then?

Eeep sounds like a bad flash - i always avoid windows based flashing utils for this very reason. If it really is as dead as you say contact the manufacturer - they may offer some sort of service to replace / reflash the actual chip. Always back up your files before sending it in for a service...

Ive been looking into them too mate, i think it is easily the best option if your really trying to push the limit of system speeds but probably not worth it unless you are already at the top of the hardware limits in the rest of your PC.

How did you seat the Heatsink, did you use arctic silver or just the stuff that came on it from the store? Download and install Speedfan (see sig) and tell us what sort of temps you are seeing. That PSU may be a little under powered for that setup also, got any spares you can test it on?

Well I can't speak for the super high end PJ's but I know mine (an optoma 720p HD which manages a 92'' screen very nicely - and is rated up to 110'') Looking at the manual in my hand in the compatibility table the highest resolution it can handle that is also rated at 85hz is 1280x1024 - but...

Yeah i'd doubt it too, but you never know - one of my clients got an asus sli board in a fairly low budget tower (around the 600 mark if i remember correctly)

I'm afraid I know little to nothing about intel as have always been an AMD man - maybe one of the other chaps here can shed light on this intel build? PS - i think these are some lucky kids :D All i had when i was a kid was a spectrum 128k (this is when the console age had hit the sega mega...

In my mind this is one of two possible things - There is a setting wrong probably between digital & analogue outputs being set as default - check that in control panel - sounds (i could be more specific if you let me know the OS you are using) Or the headphone socket was damaged when you...

My sentiments exactly, even some of the best games i'll never play more than once. the very few exceptions to this have been: FFVII FFVIII FFIX Morrowind Witcher doesnt do enough for me to want to start over again, don't get me wrong i think it was a good game, just not that good.

See if your router has a bandwidth monitor built in, mine does, i can quickly check what people are doing before i start a big DL

Hmm that is a very strange issue then, have you found literature that supports that conclusion? Glad you have solved it however!

Two little suggestions that i'd personally love to see for HWF 1. An RSS feed showing maybe the newest 5 posts so I can add it to my igoogle 2. Probably unlikely to happen but i'd love a mobile version of the site without adds & scripts that my blackberry could access easier and quicker...
