oh you serious? hmm thats a bummer oh well back ot analog lol

Hey,

I have the asus rampage 2 extreme mobo and im currently using the creative supremefx x-fi sound card that came with it. However with the sound card i am unable to config the channels so its constantly at 2 channel. i have installed the newest drivers and still no luck. Is there any fix to this, (also there are no optins in the crap software which allow me to change the channels)

thank you

Hey,

I am running my i7 920 at 4 ghz (200 x 20) however when benchmarking it using 3dmark06 and 3dmark vantage I found I had to raise the voltage to 1.465 to make it stable and pass the tests. I temp is still alright at 43 degrees idle and 48-52 load however what voltage should I be running at, because I am not sure if my voltage is too high?

thanks

thanks for your replies, i will indeed get the 295 gtx :D

I am getting a new graphics card however not sure which one to get, either asus 4870x2 or asus 295GTX. I am swinging more toward the ati one since I will be able to clean out the heat sink easily by just pulling off the plastic heat sink cover and vacuuming. Also the ati supports directx10.1 which will hopefully be relewased soon and make abigger difference than dx10 does.

However im not too good with computers so could someone please help me choosing between the two gpus? thank you :D

I have found out i can get a 120mm radiator from thermochill and place that on the rear of the case where the exhuast is. However will one radiator be enough to make it worth getting a liquid cooling set or should i just get a good air cooled fan, hoping to get the core i7 to about 4Ghz and ive read that its possible on air cooled however gets close to 90 degrees on load :O

so is it worth getting a liquid cooling system if im just going to have 1 120mm raditor or should i just get the new zalman CNS9900 or TRUE 120?

Only the cpu

Hey I am going to do a major upgrade with my computer im taking everything out except the hard drives and keeping my Zalman GT1000 case and going to get an Asus Rampage II Extreme, Core i7 920, 6 GB of DDR3 triple channel (3x2GB) and a 295GTX and either Corsair TX-850 or zalman ZM850-HP psu. However the problem I am having is deciding which cooling to get cause im either thinking of getting air cooler ( the new Zalman CNPS9900LED) or liquid cooling. I would much prefer liquid cooling however not sure which one would work best with my case (cause I would prefer the radiator to mounted on the exhaust fan) however not sure which liquid cooling system would be the best, and considering how much I am paying already for the upgrade (around 4k) I don't mind how much the liquid will cost as long as its not over $500.

If anyone has ideas on which liquid cooling to get that would be very helpful. Thank you!
