Out of curiosty, why do you have to cut power to the mobo? My mobo has a jumper that you can switch in order to clear the cmos. j/w..... -Alex "Dion L Heap" wrote in message ... "dryOtto" wrote in...

hi all i'm looking for modded bios for fix agp, pci, for my asus k8v se deluxe, do someone khows if it exist? thank's all bye

Please help me decide between these two boards. They have similar features, similar performance and both get good = reviews and seem to overclock well. The Asus has Gigabit Ethernet but I am not sure that I need it for a = home system. The Abit is cheaper. Please comment.

As I just found out by the noise of the heatsink bashing into my Geforce FX - be careful of the clips holding the heatsink onto the northbridge - they are a bit crap ;-) Alex

Hi, I'm thinking about buying a Zalman ZM80C HP heatpipe/heatsink for my Geforce 4200, but I'm unsure if it will fit, since the DIMM placement on my Asus A7V333 motherboard placement seems dubious. Does anyone have experience of such a combination? Alternatively, can you recommend another quiet...

What is the best bios for this board for o/c'ing? I used to have 19, went to the latest (23) and can't run at 2.2 ghz any more :-( before I go back to 19, is there a superior one to use? What's peoples experiences with the Tictac ones? Any other recommendations? Cheers. Alex.

OK, the problem I'm having is this... My temps are slowly climbing up on my P4 Prescott using a Thermalright XP-120. I've cleaned and recleaned the cpu and heatsink and applied Arctic Silver 5. When I first did this I had temps around 48C under load. Then they started to climb. When I removed the...

Does someone know how can convert a D865 to a D876 MB???

my computer keeps switching off no warning all of a sudden it just switches off its not the video card, or the power supply, i have overclocked my video card (XFX nvidia Geforce 7800GT) and i have overclocked my processor by 8% (Intel Pentium D 830) but that doesnt seem to be the problem because...

Just what is the difference between Retail and OEM processors, and why are the OEM packaged chips cheaper? Alfie

Monitor Powering down when i run a game. Why need some help. Drove me NUTTS. And still dont know why it stoped. I think it was when i pluged the VGA cable into the other Vga connector on my monitor. As this was after i did a full format and reinstall of XP Pro. Was time for one anyways :) I tried...

I have several Slot 1 processors, mostly PII but also a few celeron & a couple PIII. I have no idea if I'm overclocking, underclocking or what as I am unable to determine the intended speed of each. I assume it's written on the processor someplace, but where? Thanks for any...

Hi Folks, My Athlon Thunderbird socket A is running at around 1GHz on an A7V266. I'd like to get a new heatsink and quiet cpu fan for it (the old one is gummed up and noisy as hell). Anyone have any suggestions? Don't want to spend a mint, of course. Thanks a ton. Best, Allie

Hi all, I have the following setup: M/b: Asus P5B deluxe, 1066MHz FSB CPU: Intel QX6700 RAM: 2 x Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 (2Gb) PSU: Tagan TG580-U15 580W Video: 2 x Asus GeForce 7300GS (running three LCD's) Cooling: Scythe Ninja Plus (B), actively cooled with a 1200rpm 120mm fan. 1200rpm...

I have been reading negative reports on Kingston HyperX KHX3200K2 CAS 2-2-2-6-1 in comp.sys.intel newsgroup. I don't intend to overclock this (Intel 875PBZ board) but do want to use the above memory timings. Anybody here have experience with these modules? -- Aloke

Hello, I'm running a pair of 2.4GHz (533 FSB) Xeons in a X5DAE board quite happily. I can get my hands on a pair of used 3.2GHz (800MHz FSB, 1MB L2) processors for next to nothing - I wonder if it's worth it though. I should be able to plug the CPUs in, but if the new ones are locked to a 4x...

....so i decided to replace my p4 stock hsu with a p4 spark 6000 rpm one. trying to get that damned hsu off, i managed to pull the entire hs out w/the chip attached, WITHOUT lifting the zif arm. i was like holy ****, figured id need to order a new one. replaced the hsu, fired it up, looked for...
