    2900XT Heatsink Failure- dead card

    Hello. I have in my posession an HIS 2900xt 512MB. Since May of 2007 it has been my primary video card. However, the other day the card failed for an unknown reason. My system is relatively dust free and all system temps register within very tolerable parameters. Anyone with a 2900 gpu who...

    OK to re-use an old WC radiator?

    If you have these materials, this is a good way to clean it, as I had a 2x120 i flushed using these methods and it cleans your pump too. Take two buckets, preferably 5 gal, and almost fill one. Mix in some radiator flush (I know it needs heat to completely work but its probably better than...

    Carbon Fiber tow for grabs

    As far as I know there is a 2lb spool of Thornel T 300 12k. The other spool weighs a little less and has no markings, but is still in shrinkwrap around spool. If you want some pictures I will post some if requested.

    Carbon Fiber tow for grabs

    This item may be a little strange to post here, but I am doing it anyways. I have two spools of carbon fiber thread. The first is a 2lb spool if 12k thread. It is in shrinkwrap and has not been opened or tampered with. The other spool is in the same condition but is (I think) 6k or 8k...

    Overclocking GA-EP35-DS3L

    Flashed to F5c. Voltages seem to stick, but still I am unable to get ANY fsb change to stick. The only way to do that, like i said was to change the multiplier but no other fsb speed change sticks, it just reverts back to 267MHz. It is late and this board is frustrating lol, hope asus will...

    Overclocking GA-EP35-DS3L

    It's interesting to see people say that the ep35-ds3l overclocks at all. My beloved p5b is not in computer heaven and was replaced by this, and I cannot for the life of me get this board to show any overclock at all. I can set a speed and save it in the bios but it always reverts back to the...

    Are your wires hanging out????

    Got my Antec 900 which looks pretty spiffy. I got my inspiration from the xtremesystems site ( i thought i had posted mine there but i dont even have an account there lol). Drilling behind the mobo tray is an awesome idea, it worked for me. I also routed all of the power supply wires straight...

    3DMark06 Score Post Them Here

    Saw this thread and figured what the heck, I haven't run 3dmark06 in 6 or so months. Using my same system as I have not really sought the need to upgrade, I got a modest 11,773 at 1280x1024 with my 2900xt (using catalyst 8.2 I think) oc'ed to 815MHz core and 900MHz memory. If I cleaned up...

    Antec 900 - Modular or Not?

    I don't have a modular power supply in my 900, I just have a regular wire orientation type unit. Longer cables do help in the tidying up of the inside, as there is enough clearance either behind the motherboard or between the case door and inner wall to run all wires. With a little elbow...

    Is 73 C too hot for an overclocked E6750?

    A more sufficient heatsink is a crucial component to any oc'ed system, but I dont mean to beat the dead horse by saying that. The Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme is the best cooler I have had experience with, use whatever fan of your choosing that pushes plenty of air (i have a panaflo on mine)...

    Want to run Crysis w Very High Settings what will it take

    I am running crysis in two different environments: vista 32bit and xp 64bit, both using catalyst 7.10 with a 2900xt (i can only overclock the gpu in xp64 and my speeds are 850MHz core and 900MHz memory). My settings in vista are all high except texture detail and one other thing i cant...

    anyone know how to use superold pc?

    Nice find! I still enjoy coming accross such things as that, like a p3 freaking tualatin 1.4GHz with ddr. Anyways, the best thing to probably do is full format the hdd and install your choice of os. ME is garbage anyways lol. Good luck getting it running.

    Can the HD2900XT Perform on Par with 8800GTX?

    It just all depends on the application. Even though it may rise above or fall below the 8800gts 640, the value is great- just look at what a few driver revisions have done performance wise, almost beasting the gtx in some cases. I love mine despite the bulk and heat because it is simply a...

    Problem : 7800 GTX reporting 8x lanes

    I had this problem with me 7900gt once. Here are a few things you need to check: Install or Reinstall chipset drivers (Intel INF thingy if you have an intel chipset). What version of nvidia's drivers are you running on your respective os? If chipset drivers nor geforce drivers work, poke...
