Youd like the Corsair, its very light, doesnt create much noise at all, and the cords are all sleeved and it looks great in my raidmax scorpio windowed case. It has two pcie power ports for extra power as well. I hope this msi card lasts a long time... it doesnt overheat at all, Ive played...

hey I have that psu, its wonderfully stable! I have a q6600/ msi 8800gts 640mb oc (112sp)/ 4 tornado fans, and Corsair VX550W PSU. I just got the msi video card and I was wondering how good of a rep does msi have? Are they as good as evgas sc version? Here is the card I have got...

Thanks for all your help guys...ive gotten my cpu fsb up to 355 pretty stably (Q6600) and have the memory running at 667 as well. I was wondering about the new revision of the board; what changes are there if any and when did this new revision first come out? Thanks for all the help!

Thanks! I'll just mess around with the fsb settings now and report what I find. The obscure settings dont seem to have much, if any, effect for me

btw, for pci delay transaction, the audigy 2 zs is the only pci card I use (well I have a pci slot fan right above it, but it doesnt plug into the pci bus... it plugs directly into the psu.) I didnt know this setting affected audidy 2 zs sound cards, but since I havent had an issue, I was...

ok, so me with a pcie card, should I have the pcie setting at sync, 100, or auto? I got a bit confused since you mentioned sync in the first line... perhaps that was for something else? Some other quick questions: What is PCI Delay Transaction and what is its function? I have a...

You were right about 1T being unstable... 3DMark06 failed @ cpu test, although graphics tests run fine. Saw no difference with pcie set at 100 and agp set at 33/66 over both set at auto (actually auto was 10 pts higher... not significant) so I will leave that as is. So far these are the only...

Ok been reading up on the 1T/2T command rate issue, and it seems as though a setting of 1T increases benchmark performance quite a bit... my question is, would it make up for my Samsung DDR2-667 running at 533? If it makes the timings tighter, it might well make it perform like faster memory!

Sorry for all the questions lol. Just trying to figure out what all this stuff does. Whats the difference between command rate 2T and 1T. I have it at 2T right now. Is 2T the default for DDR2-533?

Gotchya. So with fsb at 266MHz (stock), if pci-e is kept at sync, then it will be 133 and if I start increasing the cpu fsb to oc, the pci-e bus will increase as well? Just reading up on this in a few places, and they do recommend locking it at 100 to maintain stability, my question was, when...

Thanks, Im off to try these settings now! Oh, about the pcie setting, I see 100 and I see a sync setting as well. is it preferable to have it set at 100 over sync?

is pci-e 100 the same as auto? I have two monitors hooked up and for some reason my other monitor cant be detected until I get into windows. Im wondering if my pcie auto setting has anything to do with that, although it didnt happen with my other pcie card or any other video card Ive used on...

I meant manual/266* to get normal Q6600 speeds

Thanks! So all I should do is set fsb to auto/266, flexibility off, ddr2-533 and the agp voltage. Thanks for the help!
