Damn

When it comes to the internal combustion engine some of you guys are funny

Who here thinks that a "power band" is actually a device that improves power in a two stroke engine?

Also, i bet some think that storing a battery on concrete drains it.

:o K&N filters suck? :o Every one uses K&N air filters, they are great. Been using them on my cars for 25 years. But for regular old daily drivers, factory airfilters work just fine. Running 15-50 weight oil in a 3.1L v6 :o Cold knock start up in cold weather, seen it thousands of time. Yeah...

Hi everyone. I'm going to post what... probably isn't a terribly unknown subject to some of you folks on this board... car maintenance! Now, I know a limited amount of basic car care, IE, I know how to change my oil and oil filter, I can change my battery, replace my air filter, fill up my automati...

I actually just watched a few episodes on IMDb this weekend.
Looks pretty cool.

They are coming out with a new movie as well.

Sorry i couldnt remember.

sirheck

Are you guys talking about this one?

I kinda think my psu is a bottleneck**shrugs**? It doesn't work that way. If a PSU is not supplying enough power to the system, then it would be unstable. Lots of blue screens, etc. You're simply fine as it is, your CPU is most likely the bottleneck. I have gotten and known others who have gotten h...

I kinda think my psu is a bottleneck**shrugs**? How's that? :-? It is probably at its limit for the gtx. It is about 3 years old so. :-? It is an antec truepower 2.0 550watt. Judging by the 3dmark 05 and 06 scores the gtx is only hitting around 500 to 800 points better than the gts did.

I just upgraded from a 640mb gts. Strange thing is the gtx scores about 500 more points in 3dmark05 and 06 :-? I kinda think my psu is a bottleneck**shrugs**? So what was the performance boost of a GTX over GTS in your real gameplay experience? I havent noticed any gains. The gts played everything ...

Amd x2 4400 with an 88gtx and 4 sticks of 512 ram.
I am on a 20.1 inch sceptre monitor at 16x10.

EDIT BY MOD - Captain Ned - roont is right; this one's over the line as well.

Ah i like my H/K

sirheck

Sell that sucker and get something new.

It doesnt have the 4.0l does it?

sirheck

Yes go into the bios and you should be able to set your mem timings fine.

And you should be fine with your psu inverted.

sirheck

It should not be necessary to uninstall your Athlon64 processor driver in WindowsXP.

I did this on my first upgrade but didnt on my second one.

So yes i agree it may or may not be neccesary

sirheck

It should be pretty easy. I have done it on my asus sli deluxe mobo. first update the bios and uninstall the a64 drivers. then reboot. then download the x2 drivers from amd,s website. then swap cpu,s and you should be fine. As for which cpu i would not get an fx60. If you have had good luck oc,ing y...

sirheck

i have 2 68gt,s and an 8800gts.

The good thing is you will get better gaming and less power requirments and a little cooler temps.

Oh 94c is nothin mine ran at 115c (load) for a month or so before i
noticed it.

Does anyone here have any experience with cold air intake upgrades? I think a good kit can get you around 10 HP, but what does it do to the fuel economy? The car in question is a 99' Acura Integra LS.

its not just about the filter but also the intake tube design.

Its a measurable noticable difference, however depending on your games your CPU might be your bottleneck at that point. I want to be able to run current games on high, and new games at medium for at least 6 months. Will it be safe to assume I can do that with a 7600GT? yes you should be fine with t...

I have a Smartpower and maybe that's what's been causing some stability problems? Somtimes my machine won't go past the BIOS screen.. and even when I enter the bios the screen goes blank after a few seconds. Waiting a little while and giving it another shot, it works again. What gives? :roll: it mi...
