    Best AMD64 air cooler....

    i installed an XP-90 on my 3700+ (@2.6Ghz) about three weeks ago, using AS5. Now that the paste has cured, idle temps went from 45^C to 30^C, and loaded temps went from 55^C to 38^C. a nice bonus is that the fins on the heatsink extend over my memory, so it gets cooled as well.

    6800GT & Arctic Silencer NV5rev3 - temps?

    (using AS5 on the gpu instead of the stock thermal pad) gpu before: idle - 55^C load - 78^C gpu after: idle - 55^C load - 63^C does that look right?

    Anyone with an MSI RX9800Pro TD128 - Please help!

    I need to rma this card, but it's got an Arctic Cooler on it, so I need to re-install the original heatsink/fan. The problem is that I can't locate the two original fasteners that secured the heatsink to the card. If you have this card, would you please let me know what type of fastener is stock...

    A64 OC Data

    I followed the A64 OC'ing guide and got these (unimpressive) results for an OC: HTT went only to 255 Cpu went to 2634 Memory (3 sticks) will only boot at 3-3-8, only up to 230MHz So for a final OC I'm at 2627 cpu, 219 HTT 1:1 memory. See sig for specs. Comments?

    NF3 + 6800 + 7x.xx drivers = game freezing issue

    I've been playing Q4 on the same settings and my frames are quite low, high teens to high twenties. One good way to test to see if you have the stuttering bug is try Q4 at a low video setting. If it still stutters, you've got the bug. If not, your settings are too high.

    NF3 + 6800 + 7x.xx drivers = game freezing issue

    Actually, Coolbits has issues as well. Powerstrip is also highly recommended. Rivatuner worked for me though, so :shrug:.

    NF3 + 6800 + 7x.xx drivers = game freezing issue

    I did not get that warning from Rivatuner. Try updating your version of Rivatuner. I think I may know what's causing your clock problem. You are attempting to force 2D and 3D clock speeds from Rivatuner (as I instructed), but the Nvidia drivers may also be resetting your clock speeds when you...

    NF3 + 6800 + 7x.xx drivers = game freezing issue

    Ok I have fixed my problem. I'm able to play any 3D games, high settings, no stuttering or freezing for hours on end. Here's what works for me: MSI bios 1.7 for Neo Platinum Nvidia 5.10 chipset drivers, no Gart DeathEvils' 6.53 chipset drivers, Gart only Nvidia 81.95 video drivers, 128MB...

    Thermalright XP-90 orientation

    this is how i have it set. seems to be fine. idle temp is ~38, haven't really loaded it yet, but the AS5 needs to cure anyhow.

    Thermalright XP-90 orientation

    What is the correct orientation for this heatsink? When the case is upright, should the pipes be coming out of the bottom, top, left side, or right side? edit: Actually, in my K8N Neo Platinum, there is no way to have a left to right or vice-verse orientation since the mounting holes are on...

    NF3 + 6800 + 7x.xx drivers = game freezing issue

    So I got the replacement board finally and sure enough, I still have the exact same problem. I'm currently using nvidia's 81.95 video crivers and 5.10 nf3 chipset drivers (5.11 has an ethernet bug), but have tried dozens of different drivers. None fix the problem. FW on, FW off, doesn't matter...

    Recommend a motherboard please

    I'm on my 2nd MSI K8N Neo Platinum (after rma) and I'm almost ready to throw it in the garbage. Ever since I upgraded my hard drive to a Maxtor 250GB Sata 16MB, and my video card to an eVGA 6800GT, I can't run any 3D apps for more than a few minutes. They all crash to desktop. I've read...

    Can someone please explain this to me (from the A64 OC database & OC guide thread)
