    OC noob, 3500 venice and asus a8v-vm

    It sounds like you've used adaptive overclocking instead of the manual method which is also possible with the A8V series. Adaptive overclocking raises the clock speed whenever the system demands it, therefore you'll not notice higher clockspeeds when your comp is idle. If you're planning...

    A brief nVidia update...

    I've found some pictures which might possibly be from the next G80 cards; It clearly has the watercooling connectors which it was rumoured to have.

    overclocking 7600gt

    Coolbits can be enabled by just double clicking on the icon itself, it should prompt you if you want to add Coolbits.reg to the registry or not. When done, just open up Nvidia's control panel and you'll see a new item visible callen "clock frequency settings" You must accept or decline :D...

    Buliding My First Computer - Component Check

    You might want to look into adding some fans, I saw the Ultra Wizard case has 80mm fan and 120mm fan ports. But there's no mentioning of fans actually being included, you need those to vent the hot air out of the case. The game COD2 is a more demanding game than FEAR you know, COD2 is best...

    prey

    Maybe the games need bugfixes to improve such problems, the latest 1.4 patch for Battlefield 2 for instance reduced the framerate, they were higher with the old 1.3 patch. F.E.A.R's engine is quite a system hog, maybe upgrading the amount of RAM in your system might help that issue edijs, you...

    XP Tutorial...

    It's a matter of personal opionion, when playing games online simply calling someone a n00b will most likely result in players getting angry. You see it all around, I didn't find it offensive either, but using "beginner" instead of "n00b" when trying to attrackt other HWF users to look at...

    16: ratio in games

    Unless the games support 16:9 ratio resolutions, depending on the type of monitor and your GFX card's settings the screen will either be streched or scaled down to the chosen resolution giving you black borders around or on the side of the screen. The most populair games don't always support...

    XP Tutorial...

    Maybe you shouldn't use such vocabulary, it might offend people. But it might just be a joke from you just as well since you've thrown a smiley in there too.... The guide is pretty good but XP offers a pretty easy installation method. Part 2 of the quide about possible bios settings is the...

    overclocking 7600gt

    As long as the temperature doesn't get too hot you should be ok, sometimes the "detect optimal frequencies" option results in different clock values and shouldn't always be relied upon. You can play a game with those settings and if there aren't any artifacts you can keep playing at those...

    PS2 Game?

    Yeah, I totally forgot Resident Evil 4 falls into fps games nowadays. It's not really 3rd person but neither 1st person, so would you call this 2nd person view then? Anyway, Resident Evil 4 plays like any other first person shooter and you should definetly get this if you're into horror /...

    Anaglyph (3D) Gaming for nVidia users

    That's pretty cool, I always wondered what "Consumer 3D stereo" was when downloading new drivers from Nvidia's website, thanks for enlightening me. I can't wait for my girlfriend to come into this room finding me behind the computer with a pair of anaglyph glasses on, just the mere though of...

    A brief nVidia update...

    Just when you think you've got a killer card installed and payed hard cash for it, Nvidia spits out another core and your little puppy/puppies is/are outdated. The G80's specs are indeed unusual; * Unified Shader Architecture * Support FP16 HDR+MSAA * Support GDDR4 memories * Close...

    Daytona GF FX 5500 temp?

    I believe only the 6 series and up from Nvidia have temperature sensors built into the card. But I could be wrong, maybe Daytona released that card with temp sensors after all.... Anyway,speedfan is a good free tool to monitor and adjust available fans. If you would be able to monitor the...

    Help!

    Hey Arj, it seems all versions of the VT8237 chipset were designed for SATA Type I. So if you are using a SATA Type II drive with the VT8237 you will have to follow the manufacturers jumper settings to lock the data rate to 150mb/sec in order for the drive to be recognized. Here's a link to...

    PS2 Game?

    Racing Games; Need for Speed Most Wanted is the latest installment for the NFS series. A nice game, targeted for those "The Fast and The Furious" fans. If you're more into the serious racing games you should definetly go for Gran Turismo 4, which lasts really long since there's literally...

    What will this run?

    The X1300 isn't really futureproof, any gfx hardware you buy now is maximum DirectX 9.0, the next in line DirectX 10 level hardware will be released around / just before Microsoft will release it's next os Vista. But it outperforms Nvidia's 6600GT in most benchmarks Uncomplicating the...
