    Asus A8V Deluxe AMD 64 4000+ (1st time OC'ing)

    Oh, than I must be wrong, I have the CNPS 7700-ALCU for my CPU, the VF700-CU for my GPU. Doh, can't believe I mixxed those two up. 15% would be the maximum for me then, as 2400MHz x 115% comes to 2760MHz exactly. Upping the FSB more results in restart during windows loading screen. I could...

    Here's a link to the official Blizzard World of Warcraft site with video cards that are supported by Blizzard for World of Warcraft. As you can see ATI Radeon 9xxx series chips are indeed supported by the game, to be absolutely sure you should compare your computer to the game's requirements...

    Asus A8V Deluxe AMD 64 4000+ (1st time OC'ing)

    Do you consider my Zalman VF700-CU good enough / serious cooling? Leave Prime95 working for at least 24 hours? I changed my Vcore to 1.6 as you advised, I'll see what it does then......... So I should ignore the results from gaming and running disk defrag as mentioned in that "How To...

    Asus A8V Deluxe AMD 64 4000+ (1st time OC'ing)

    I've got a Zalman VF700-CU, which cools significantly better than the stock cooler so I should be ok. As said before, I only see the temperatures go up to 43 degrees when on load, the guide I mentioned before said I should run disk defrag in the background while playing 3d games at the same...

    Asus A8V Deluxe AMD 64 4000+ (1st time OC'ing)

    I need some advice with overclocking, I used the "How To Overclock - An Ongoing Tutorial" topic from this site as a guide. This is my first time overclocking my CPU manually. I had it at 10% before using the Auto OC feature of this mobo. But that only got me around 2640 Mhz before, I would like...

    Data DVD problem

    It looks like you are trying to use the windows method to burn your dvd, I believe windows only provides support for burning regular recordable cd's not for DVD's You should try a different program for that like Nero 6, or use the DVD-burning software that came with your computer or DVD...

    Need AC97 Sound Blaster Pro driver anyone know where to get it

    I think you are mixing up 2 different products, AC 97 is a Realtek sound chip found on lots of motherboards and a soundblaster pro is a creative soundcard installed into a pci slot, I could be mistaken though. But I'll give your the links. Creative has a nice auto detect feature which will...

    Graphics card running hot

    What program did you use to overclock your card? Temperatures should revert back to normal when you've set the speeds back to what they were, besides 52 degrees when playing games is pretty cool for a GPU stressed. My graphics card runs at 53 degrees idle, and goes well into the 60's when I...

    performance problems

    Did you try downloading the latest nForce2 drivers from Nvidia.com? Try running COD2 in DX 7, it might not look as good as DX9 but it will improve performance a lot. See the graphical options ingame, under rendering mode. As for other people saying you should get better fps with that system...

    performance problems

    Chipset explained, your motherboard has an nForce 2 chipset. Chipset drivers are indeed different from display drivers, they control various features of your motherboard, such as on-board sound, agp bus, raid support etc. I read the specifications of your motherboard and saw it supports a...

    The screen where you select your operating system is in DOS If your keyboard is connected through USB, and USB legacy support is disabled in the basic input/output system (BIOS) / or the BIOS does not provide USB legacy support, you won't be able to use it in DOS. You could either try...

    Screen distortion

    It could be your videocard is frying, do you have a spare card or a different monitor you could use to test; to rule out the possible causes? Maybe there's interference from a device near the monitor?

    performance problems

    What kind of motherboard does that hardware run on? The chipset drivers might need updating, I've had great benefit from updating my ASUS A8V Deluxe VIA chipset in the past, since it also included updated drivers for my agp bus. Try to be more precise and describe the exact type of components...

    Nvidia BIOS edited...... your thoughts?

    I decided before flashing I would buy a new card if I fried this, but I didn't have a spare PCI card to correct things in case I screwed up, thank god I didn't. I don't exactly know what type of core this card has, it's an XFX 6800GT 256MB AGP if that would help you to tell me it's got a...

    Nvidia BIOS edited...... your thoughts?

    I know about Coolbits and I've tried it before, RivaTuner also. Every single time I set higher clock speeds testing failed afterwards. This occured with both programs. What NiBiTor allowed me to do was modify the stock clock speeds set in the gpu bios and afterwards use Nvflash to load the...

    Nvidia BIOS edited...... your thoughts?

    Hi all, A long time ago in a galaxy far away.............. *euhrr -> edit* A long time ago I've posted here about overclocking my new 6800gt ( It was just in the shops when I bought it, so do the math and you'll figure out around what time that was) I asked everywhere for support...

    anyone tried hidden source

    Yes, I've tried "Hidden: Source" once... It was fun for a while, but there weren't that many servers to play on when I tried it a long time ago. The little servers that were available mostly contained players that already very familiar with the game. The "Hidden" can be seen since it looks...

    Help needed with 7800GT

    ASUS states there are 3 types of AMD 4000+ chips, 1 of them is supported by all bios versions, another one attains support from bios version 1007 and up, and the 3rd type gains support from bios version 1015.005 and higher. I used the AI oc utility built into my board's bios, I've looked up...
