The Official PC building thread -3rd Edition

i didnt see, was it?

was that the cheapest?

when i checked it, it was removed.

and i told you...OcUK price gouging, i have alreasy gone on a rant about this, and alot of peopel agree with me on their forums, the employees didnt reply

 

There aren't any there yet, but knowing OcUK, their initial price will be extortionate.

Heh, are you surprised nobody's replied yet?

 

yeah, unfortunately, and then there will thos people who just hav the fattest wallets, and their fingers itch to "play" with a couple in xfireX, who already haev the rampage extreme, and 2000MHz DDR3 ETC who give the money to get to play a week or two before the masses do. but by then the X2 is a boring product for them hehe.


thats my dream one day, with a wife getting pissed off on the side. HAHA

 

It would be nice - you'd never have to worry about faulty hardware either, as you could just buy more..

 

aye, ohh the money life...wel this is what the UNI is for, if it dont get me money when i get out, i wont recomend it to my kids LOL

 

What do you plan on doing?

 

Electronic and electrical engineering, but in the second year i cant branch into a specialist subject and im sure i will take semi-conductor engineering, aka mofsets, chips, silicone, etc.

 

Ah, the same course I did. Note: Learn the maths.

 

aye, btu maths has never been a problem with me, its my strongest field.

 

finally got my ram to run at 1066MHz using the CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500). NOT the Patriot of course lol.going to let it run a day or so at 1066 then OC the CPU. 3.4MHz shouldn't be a problem.

 

Mine too, but I still couldn't manage it. Hopefully you'll do better.

 

system temps are stable at 32C and the CPU is 32C also

 

Anyone here play Alone in the dark on PC? Because I just tried to play on my 360 and it's HORRIBLE.

OMG, the camera is so bad. Trying to maneuver this guy is like a drunken retarded monkey going up a set of stairs on a unicycle that has no wheels.

 

Here I am again !! New problem ! I'M really dreading what your going to tell me..OK, my DVD RW IS WORKING GREAT..But now my Computer cuts off every 5 to 10 mins, sometimes it reboots sometimes it cuts right off. Now like an ASS I did hook up the power line to the DVD RW while the Comp was on, it arced and cut off the Comp. Now I've got this problem all the time..Does this sound like I may have weakened the PSU

 

Either that, or you caused a fault in the power connector so it's always arc'ing / shorting and tripping the PSU out. I'd replace the PSU just to be safe.

 

try a differnt PSU to see if that solves it. if not replace the mobo northbridget SB and mofset TIM with MX-2 or OCZ freeze or TX-2

 

well now my sorry azz work has newegg blocked. along with SMS meritline ect... all the good sites..

ive been on the phone with gigabyte and intel today. getting to the bottom of my heat issues....it has been confirmed by both parties. the ga-p35-ds3r isnt stable/compatable for the 45nm cpus, with the current set of bios(F11). however the beta F12 bios that has been under construction for 8 month hasnt gotten all its bugs out yet to fix the heat issues with this board... gigabyte did saw however their other P35boards have no problems with the 45nm cpu's and that i should try the P45 chipset boards....

then intel did tell me they would rma my cpu again if i had the heat problems on anothe brand name board. and they wouldsend me the new E0 stepping E8400. they dont guarentee that will help with the heat issue on my board....

so in short.. this dummy was correct in what i have been thinking the last month or so about my board....you all are some good teachers..(well allmost all i still cant spell) ~

 

The P35-DS3R, EP35-DS3R or both?
Oh, and sorry about that!

 

we didnt discuss the GA-EP35-DS3R only my board the P35-DS3R. but seeing the EP35-DS3R is newer it might be fine..bigwill has the EP35C-DS3R and when i had it on his board my temps wasnt this high,then again it wasnt on there that long to see truely.


EDIT:
i do know on the EP35C-DS3R it is stamped 45nm compatible(something like that)
and on my board i dont think it has that stamped on it.

 

Robert have you considered a Asus Rampage? no heat problems with it

also download this, its very helpful
