My 6800xt was hitting 2500 stock out of the box at Christmas. Cut the voltage and kept the revs to 2300 as it was hitting 90c plus. Seems recent driver is not good.

So I am reading a lot of articles about a de-lidded Kaby lake and a 25 degree improvement in temps with a better TIM. Do we believe that Intel is deliberately using by the sounds of it a sub par TIM to shave a cent of the finished product cost which is near the top end of the price spectrum ...

I am a bit out of touch and going to build a new Gaming machine. This looks balanced to me but If any one sees anything wrong with this spec I would like to hear. I would like to go 64 bit XP pro- Would this limit available games. Might do a bit of OC as well. Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L, P45...

Seems the board I have has a pci express slot but on x4. This board has both agp x8 and PCi express on it. I run a 7800gs AGP at present but want to put in a new card. A 9800gt looks a good price and probably a good balance for my Core 2 Dual core 7200 (2.5 3 mb) which I havent bothered to oc...

If you have the above board still in use your bios battery may be on the way out. Me and a mate built identical rigs at the same time a few years ago and the bios battery on both packed in this week. Obvious symtom is clock loses time every time you switch off pc.No big deal to replace. the...

I have ordered a Saphire x800 GTO for my rig. The old 9600 is showing its age. Yes I know the x800gto is hardly bleeding edge but it seems a good price preformance buy and I didnt think its worth going to a 7800gs on AGP. so my first question is should I have gone for the 7800gs...

Hope some one can help with this. I have a dual boot win 2000 setup. I have two hard drives with a primary partion on each . I have an install of 2000pro on each, one for work stuff and one for games. The work version has screwed up and I am getting the blue screen of death when I try to...

My ping rate has gone thru the roof this week-cant play far cry practically anywhere. Has the the X class Flare and Cme (coronal mass ejection) caused any problems on the net or is it just the dark evening with nothing to do :confused: Gregorvich aka mortician

Have we lost the run of our selves :confused: I can buy a copy of Doom 3 for 50 euro but by all accounts if I dont have a bleeding edge Video card I will not be able to play it anywhere near its potential. I have even seen a version of the 6800 ultra on Komplett.ie that is retailing at 910...

I built my system a year ago and as always in the situations a compromise had to be made on components- I bought a Sapphire 9600 ultimate ed as a 9800 was too pricey then. My box as you can see is resonable well speced and my Xp2500 runs very happy at 3200 (50c temp at full throttle with...

My Monitor osd says the refresh rate is 59htz but I have it set in win 2000 for 85 and ditto the same in the Catalyst contol centre. All the correct drivers are installed I think. Put on the latest Saphire ones last week. Uninstalled the old first. Do I belive windows/ATI or the Monitor...
