Buzzing/Rattling from case.

Excellent idea - seems to have worked to cure the rattling. Might it be a loose screw that's causing the problem?

Buzzing/Rattling from case.

I've been noticing for a while that there a slight buzzing from within my case. It goes anywhere from a medium to a low pitch, and sometimes ends up making more more of a whirring now. Now, at first I figured it was my case rattling, but it's a great case and any little tinkering of...

BFG 6800 OC Performance

We'll see what happens with my RMA. I can't really afford to upgrade right now, and i'd like to see how CPUs/Mobo's are in the fall in terms of selection and pricing. I am however going to upgrade my ram to some high quality dual channel. I'm currently running 1gb Hynix DDR 400 Dual Channel...

Best RAM for current machine

I'm trying to price out options right now between upgrading cpu/mobo or upgrading to a good quality RAM. One thing that has my curiousity however is what kind of RAM would be the best for me to get, should I go that route?

Best RAM for current machine

My system is currently listed in my sig, and I have been running Hynix 2x512 DDR 400 Dual Channel for a year now, and the few times I have run memtest I have encountered zero errors. However, I am at the point where I am thinking of upgrade to an Athlon64 but many people tell me I should wait a...

BFG 6800 OC Performance

I finally called BFG Tech and told them my problem. The tech was a bit frustrated that I wouldn't accept that any of my other components were the bottleneck due to the fact they all run fine and are up-to-date with drivers. I get better performance with a 9800 Pro than a 6800 OC...

BFG 6800 OC Performance

Everything is set to 8x, Fast-writes Off. However, in that image I posted the OS was set to 2x, so I was just curious as to whether or not that was the problem. I don't think anything in my machine in the bottleneck seeing as I had a full diagnostic test done when my computer was damaged, and...

http://members.shaw.ca/rcrmb/pics/agprate.gif This is what my AGP settings look like. I noticed the OS is at 2x. Is there anyway I can change this? I am using the VXG 71.20b drivers.

One thing I forgot to mention was last month I had a full hardware diagnostic burn-in done on my machine after it was damaged in a shipping incident and everything was running on par, however this was before I bought the 6800nu. Perhaps this may put things in a better light.

The CPU runs at about 46C under load such as playing games. I was referring to the temperature for my 6800nu. :) I also ran Prime95 for 15 hours without a hitch.

Molex is connected, yes. :) Sound Card is an Audigy 2 ZS with the latest Driver Update (Jul 04) Other than what's listed in my sig for Hardware, I have a WD 120 gig 8mb buffer HD and a WD 40gig, both 7200 RPM. I have Prime95 going right now - i'll run it over night.
