Ugh. :pale:

Seems like a hassle. :-?

I don't remember Megi. Maybe a sock puppet?

I have a pile of those Promise/Maxtor cards somewhere. ;)

66 MB/sec. :)

Why does it still use so much power if the die is smaller and transistor count is lower?

:D I expected him to become hirsute today. :cooler:

What exactly does this mean? Win 7 and AHCI must be installed? None of the onboard ports will work?

That 1% may be on the low side. ;) Any operation that takes longer than 30 seconds can be improved upon, especially if it extends to minutes and hours. Yet some days we only surf the web or read e-mail which is barely utilizing the CPU.

The WD30EZRSDTL is a green drive, so I can't imagine it will be faster than 5400 RPM.

Thanks. There are so many coolers. :queen: Which is a nice one for O/C that will not block the RAM and is controlled by the motherboard? I don't care if it is noisy for the 1% of the time under heavy load, but it should be reasonably quiet otherwise.

CDT, which is close enough for NA viewers.

That depends on your definition of people. :monky: I'm still mostly using IE6.

Are high-speed frozen chickens a common problem in the real world? :D

Ah crud, that part about the components was supposed to be posted in the "When to build a new system thread." :(

The CPU of course.:cyclop:

This is what I am thinking about now. GA-X58A-UD5 i7 980X 12GB DDR3 1600 Is the stock cooler sufficient? Are there any concerns?

The offending x1600 Pro card looks somewhat like this one, but has only 256GB and is PCIe.

It is still intermittently slow in the evenings.

Urban legend?

Is this really something to be proud of? I wonder how the hard drives fare.

I assumed that everyone knew about Sappho. :dunno: Nobody else had 10 semesters of history as an undergard?

Finally the press release. I'll take two.

So that would mean DDR1600 for a decent OC.

I'm sure you would not overdo it so much on a 24" monitor. Considering it cost more than my first car, I'm irked about the software.

Sure, but I'm not familiar with the new multiplier system. Of course I'd like to keep the RAM in spec at 4GHz, and I don't want the multiplier too high if that reduces performance.

Insect damage? :puke-r:

Only the Sapphos X1600 doesn't work reliably at 1920x1200, though the 4350 did not work right until after I had installed the drivers for the 5450 and then switched the cards. I guess the drivers are similar. :rabbit: The 5450 is remarkably cool for having such a small heat sink. The 4350 was...

I'm assuming it is crazy expensive and/or unstable at high speeds. However, I still don't know what speed grade is needed for good perforamnce at a CPU speed of 4+GHz.

Thanks, but I gave up on that X1600 [-pro card and now have three video cards that work just fine. 8) I got more than my money's worth out of it over the past ~four years. It was the oldest part of my computer other than the case and a Firewire card.

I suppose that is too vague, but maybe a mild type of this. "Balance issues" also makes me think of Bipolar Beth. :smurf:

It does not work on either the 32-bit OS or 64-bit OS. I tried both the version on the disc (March 2010) and the latest version on the website. In any case it hangs forever after entering the target color space and pressing Proceed. Both the computer and monitor must powered off to restart...

I want the speed on a single drive each way, so maybe double?

I have balance issues.

The software just does not work. :frusty:

It must be getting some airflow. There are 2x80mm case fans in the rear and the open grill on the side (no fan), plus 2x80mm HD fans in the front, though the latter are only set to the middle speed. The PSU fans hardly move any air unless the CPU is at 100%.

Power drain from the UPS seems to be ~10W less at idle. So the old card was using more power doing nothing?

Wow, that must be good if your body can handle it. I've not been allowed to do that for some years, though I never wanted to anyway.

I did not install that Catalytic utility as I recall it was quite large. I tested the 5450 with the Furmark. The hairy doughnut thingie rotates slowly and spasmodically, no doubt due to the wimpy GPU. :) The temperature stabilized at about 54 °C in the extreme burning mode. At idle the GPU...

:eek3: I don't even get the receipts for my own car. That reminds me of when we moved house in 1963. The previous owner had manually measured the temperature in the swimming pool every day for 2-3 years and recorded it in a logbook. Then he handed over the logbook and thermometer to my...

How much did it cost to keep track of all that?

I can download the Furmark and test the 5450 card, but is there a risk of damage? Does the card have internal temperature control to reduce power if it overheats?

Argus is not good for my system. It immediately crashes and reboots. :(

I just picked it randomly for the single-slot width (a rarity nowadays) and lack of fan. There is a 512GB version as well.

Will it play video from 7D/5D II and D7000 OK?

:alien: There are numerous Radeon HD5450 cards. I want to know if there are any concerns about that specific card.

What about this card? I like that it is narrow and has no fan.

Yeah, it's always something... :erm:

I can't find any listed. :crap:
