*** Official 8800GTS 512MB (G92) O/C Thread ***

I got the eVGA 8800GTS 512 (670/972 stock). Sorry guys, I did not run the benchmark you asked for... However, I was able to run the Crysis GPU_Bench (64bit) in Vista x64. I used all medium settings at 1920x1200 with no AA. On loop 2 I got 44.91FPS and on loop 3 I got 44.96FPS average. The rest...

Intel mobo as a gaming board.

Hello, I just built four new computers for our Christmas LAN party this year. Three of them have the DP35DP, one has the DX38BT. All of them have Seagate hard drives and PC Power & Cooling 610 watt Silencers in an Antec SOLO case. Two are running 8800GTS video cards, and two are running...

How's the audio quality on Intel DP35DP?

Here is my review (from NewEgg): Pros: ***Almost*** legacy-free. Rock stable, ample USB ports, 2 fire-wire (1 rear port, 1 header)... Cons: Still has some unwanted junk: IDE port, serial header, and PCI slots... Other Thoughts: I wish Intel made a true legacy-free board. I am running...

How's the audio quality on Intel DP35DP?

Hello, I just built four computer systems for our Christmas LAN party, three with the DP35DP and one with the DX38BT. All systems are using the built-in audio and Vista Ultimate x64. I have played games and listened to music on all four systems, and the sound is top notch, I could find...

*** NVIDIA 8800GT OVERCLOCK ***

I was able to get my eVGA 8800GT Superclocked up to 712/2080. I had the fan on at 100%, not sure if it was the core or the memory that caused it to crash at 720/2100... If I want to test my 3dMark06, should I get the free download, or get the upgrade at $19.95 ?

the perfect LEGACY-FREE motherboard

I have built approximately 50 computers in the last two years (for friends/family/work). Not a single one uses any legacy connections. They all have SATA hard drives and CD/DVD drives and USB keyboards and mice. I have not used a floppy for about ten years. However, I did rip two movies via 1394...

Where's 32mb catch on the segate .11 come in handy?

My system is up and running and really the RAID0 with the 7200.11 does not make a dramatic difference. For example, loading Crysis takes about 40 seconds on my 7200.10 (no RAID), versus this with RAID0 loads in about 33 seconds...

Corsair DDR3

Is there any way I can make it permanent without hacking the BIOS? I hate messing with things and I rarely overclock... However, my 8800GTS overclocks so well that I think I will risk modifying the BIOS. It runs 650/950 without breaking a sweat and stays cool at 60% fan (65°C)...

Corsair DDR3

I have my system up and running, and the TWIN3X2048-1333C9DHX is indeed running at 9-9-9-24 on my DX38BT motherboard. So far so good! Now what to do with my 8800GT? It overheats after about 3 minutes of Crysis at stock fan speeds... I wish they would have just stuck with the cooler that is on...

the perfect LEGACY-FREE motherboard

Actually, with the right keyboard, there is! My favorite keyboard ever was the Microsoft Natural Ergo with the USB hub built in... Why did they quit making that board? All they needed to do is make a black version and I would be good to go. Now I use the 4000, which is ok, but could be...

Intel DX38BT "BoneTrail" motherboard officially posted

The P5E3 is a great board as well. For me though it is not worth the extra money, since I would not be using any of the extra features. It has dual NICs, WIFI, and a few more slots/legacy connections... As far as the brandname goes, I think Asus is fine too. However, I have found over the years...

Intel DX38BT "BoneTrail" motherboard officially posted

Hello again! I have my system working well and I am enjoying the performance. I have to crank up the fan on my 8800GT to keep it from crashing (70% instead of auto). With all settings on medium and no AA and 1920x1200 resolution, I am getting 42FPS per the built in benchmark_GPU (bin64). My...

Intel DX38BT "BoneTrail" motherboard officially posted

Those are just a few reasons why I bough it in the first place! Other "legacy" items that are gone include the floppy port and PS/2 key/mouse ports. Now if Intel only made one like this without the PCI ports and IDE port I would be all set... I LOVE THIS BOARD [so far] But I am having...

Intel DX38BT "BoneTrail" motherboard officially posted

Well you all! I finally got the RAM for my DX38BT and proceeded to install Vista x64... I setup the RAID0, works great! Installed Vista and all the updates, also updated the BIOS to from 1249 to 1308. Then I tried a little over-clocking (I have very little recent experience). I set the...
