General hardware discussion

I tried this morning to download a bios for my P35 Blood Iron but it gives me error:HTTP Status 500 http://www.dfi.com.tw/DFI-Lanparty/

What can you expect from a 170 Dollar 16Gb. Kit ? 2600 Mhz CL11 @ 1.65 Vdimm Aircooled 2666Mhz CL11 @ 1.75 Vdimm Aircooled Max. 1m Pi 2730Mhz @ 1.75 Vdimm Aircooled Max. CPU-Z

Setting it up at the moment 32 Threads :woot: Now I need to come back home to pick up 128 GB of memory and 16 more SSD :nana:

i tested these new drivers with gtx 460,560++++ on win7 64,vista+xp and they have really good performance in benches. now the big but: i could not get over 1000mhz on neither of these cards. take care:gpu-z says yes but nvidia inspector shows no change above 1000mhz and the score proofs. maybe someone can confirm this. or me is fool. thanks in advance

Having issues booting together... isn't a joke, I really have chip in hand, tried 4 different bios versions with no luck. going to call ASUS tomorrow but hoping for a possible fix now. Asus states board will work with next gen cpu... Really excited to get this going. Let me know Thanks

I've finally managed to get one of my hyper kits to work in 32m with SB. Problem is, 1066MHz 7-7-6-20 2T (cas write 7) is waaay slower than 1110 8-9-6-20 1T (cas write 6), bbse. Second loop at 5GHz is around 18.5xx compared to 18.2xx with bbse. With hypers I need to use 2T, but otherwise tight subtimings just like bbse. Is the difference really this big with 2T vs 1T? Something feels wrong, I was so happy to run hypers again only to see a disappointing result

ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS in our hands... but I`m sorry, it is not for overclocking, because CPU ratio is locked and very low for good results in 3DMark CPU tests. With 2x E5-2620 on 2 GHz in 3DMark11 was only around 75xx marks for CPU tests. BCLK strap not working, BCLK overclocking - 101-102 MHz and no more... But it is really good motherboard for workstation Source: OCLab.ru

Anyone with revodrives around here? I have a Revodrive 3 X2 480GB (Intel NAND) currently and I'm trying to figure out why the performance is limited to 133MB/s or less for General Usage. That is roughly the same score I got with my old Revo: Revodrive X2 100GB 130MB/s: http://hwbot.org/submission/2231703_i.m.o.g._pcmark_2005_fx_8120_30876_marks Revodrive X2 100GB 116MB/s: http://hwbot.org/submission/2234747_i.m.o.g._pcmark_2005_fx_6100_19829_marks This review has results of Revodrive 3 X2 240GB (Micron NAND) - 132MB/s: http://www.funkykit.com/about-us/8962-review-ocz-revodrive-3-x2-240gb-pcie-ssd.html?start=4 I see other people running Revodrives with be…

I made a SLI in 8800GTS + 8800GTX. Which category do I upload? Because it's actually a GTS SLI. http://hwbot.org/submission/2272510

Hey guys,today I got a 3870x2 but it doesnt work. All I get is a black screen and the GPU fan is at 100% all the time. My power supply is Corsair CX500(yes a bit on the edge but I tried with a separate 400w PSU just for the GPU and it doesnt work either). I noticed the D25 LED keeps flashing like: twice then a bit pause,repeat. As far as I have read,the LED indicates overheating but it definately doesn't overheat,I changed the paste and its very well cooled. My CPU is Athlon X3 445 and mobo ASUS M4N68T-M V2. Any ideas guys? I hope I havent wasted 50 bucks on a brick...

As a day old newbie on this site, thanks to whomever gave this submission a "like" http://hwbot.org/submission/2257353_japrestef_3dmark03_geforce_7950_gt_agp_20235_marks and let me suggest this thread as a possible "Best mb flash unlocks before OC'g" discussion venue (or if one exists the mod can move this there) because I am looking for what should be my next project(s) after the 2 I describe here. I am quite proud to have done the above submission on just the 250W original oem PSU and all stock cooling in this 10 year old hyper-threading XP rig based off a Compaq retail S5400NX computer that I mb bios flash unlocked to a ASUS P4G800-V so tha…

Recently ive been doing some testing with the new Extreme6 X79 board from Asrock, so i thought i may as well post a quick review about it. To start with, the Extreme6 is a typical Asrock motherboard in the way that it offers a lot of features. 8xSATA, internal USB3.0, E-Sata .. you name it, asrock got it. The board also features start/reset buttons, and a handy HEX display. As this is the first Asrock board ive ever tried, it's VRM solution surprised me. Asrock hasn't an image of being super OC-friendly, but the Extreme6 actually offers a nice 12-phase VRM build around the same Chil controller found on the Rampage 4 Extreme and Radeon 7970. Then…

I think we are know it ABIT NF-7 series the one of the most best board on NF2..yesterday I get some Abit NF7 motherboard from my friend " DATA X Yogajakarta Indonesia " and he have some modified on motherboard and bios..I want to test it on this weekend.. ok now lest see some bios...he he he

I tried to bench different cards yesterday but had some problems during the driver installation. The screen turns black (which is normal) but instead of continuing with the installation I can only see a flashing "_". When restarting the system the "_" appears again after the windows loading screen. This happened with different cards and different drivers. So I'm sure it's a software problem.
