AMD RYZEN Builders Thread

All done in uefi - Ryzen master was far too overwhelming, I didn't want to touch it.

AMD RYZEN Builders Thread

I guess I think that because the clocks or volts do not change, I am on constant 4.35ghz, load or idle. Just to add on this, if I load up the profile defaults in the UEFI, save and boot up to Windows and run some tests - single core cinebench the cpu voltages leap to about 1.46v, if I run...

SLI and the Scam behind it

One thing to be aware of when you buy an sli set-up and just one card. Make sure that you purchase and identical card with an identical revision. I orginally purchased 2x XFX 6800GT for my rig, one blew up - RMA - replacement arrived, installed, Sli reported that two cards of teh same make...

DFI Lanparty Sli-DR - Won't post with Winchester

Hi, Pressed delete, nothing, pressed TAB to show the sceen behind the DFI, nothing. It's almost like it wants to post but freezes somewhere between detecting the CPU and the RAM. I would say it's the CPU, but I have now tried 2x A64 winchesters and an FX55. Looking on the DFI...

DFI Lanparty Sli-DR - Won't post with Winchester

Thanks for the tip, tried overriding using the on board power switch but that did the same thing. recognised the VGA card on start up moved to the DFI screen (that hides the post info) and locks up. Even if I do that and reset, same thing happens. Weird I know. If I can't sort it out...

DFI Lanparty Sli-DR - Won't post with Winchester

I use 2x molex individually connected to each card. I thought the same thing but that theory went out the window when I tested using just one card in single VGA mode. Any other suggestions? I really need help on this so the more information we can ad to the list the better chance I have of...

SLI and the Scam behind it

I am not one for the ATI Versus Nvidia war of words. However ATI users bashed the FX series Nvidia cards and I have to agree with just cause. I also agree that Sli being for Nvidia cards only is a gamble we are all taking where we hope that nvidia will contiue to keep up the performance...

SLI and the Scam behind it

Sli is not all about bragging rights or like an extension to ones manhood. Sli is driver supported not game support, if it's directx9 then it will support Sli in some way shape or form, the level of improvement varies on the depth of directX9 in a game, HL2 for example is less reliant on...

SLI and the Scam behind it

Guys, Guys, Guys, I have just upgraded to Sli and there have been teething issues (2 blown MOBO's and 1 blown 6800GT). Now we are getting a better understanding of all this, reliability will improve with BIOS/DRIVER updates. I was lucky enough to be able to sell my 'old' system parts on...
