I've no experience at all with crossfire. I was reading about the internal bridges and it seemed like they were too short to span the distance between the PCIe long slots on the GA-P35-DS3P. Does this mean that x1950 family cards cannot crossfire in that mobo?
Ok. Just found Prime95 v25.3. It changed the temps quite a bit
I ran the torture test blend for an hour and the peaks (apparently during Test3) got to
60 58 59 61c
with the fan running quiet. I put it through again with the fan on full voltage and it came in at
57 56 57 58c
So I...
I have one (Cooler Master TX2) on my q6600 and, after running it at stock for a couple weeks, started playing around with clocking it today. I did not hit a point of instability but maybe I got high enough to see how CM TX2 works. I haven't OC'ed anything since the Slot 1 days so I may be up...
Ok. I'll scratch the mixed mfr options. Thanks for that tip.
Just read something that x1650 pro is bad for crossfire. Picture less clear than when I started :(
Current components:
I have a GA-p35-ds3p motherboard and Q6600. PSU is a 500W Ultra. I have a PCI GeForce fx5500 so two monitors are dark :( Time to fix that.
Usage/Gaming:
I mostly care about having snappy windows performance. I don't even own a 3d game but I don't want to spend money...
I use three monitors so am planning to get two NVidia PCIe boards and span my desktop across all three. I have not been playing any games and do not expect to do much in the future (and in any case I would not be looking to have a game's display span monitors). I don't even run my monitors at...
So you're saying that you have no knowledge of any specific motherboards and no knowledge of any specific cards? Since I have not selected a mother board nor have I selected a card I guess checking with the manufacturer could take quite a bit of legwork :)
