AFAIK the boards with the "fake" PWM fan headers do have a fully functional 4-pin header for the CPU (just like previous boards, though then only the CPU had a 4-pin and all others were proper 3-pin headers). The problem is none of the other 4-pin headers seem to control speeds properly w...
It would be wise to check the voltage swing of the fan header with the chosen resistors though; it may not behave as expected if it doesn't see a load similar to that of a typical fan. If the output needs to be loaded, then lower resistance (and higher wattage) resistors may be needed to simulate t...
Sounds to me like he's trying to do the reverse -- i.e., he has a motherboard fan output with voltage control, and wants to convert it to a PWM output. (My apologies to the OP if I've got it backwards.) You are correct :-). The reasons being: a) PWM-fans are not designed for voltage control, and ma...
I have one of those motherboard with "fake" PWM system fan outputs, ie. they are regular voltage controlled outputs with "PWM fan support". I thought I'd remedy this in a relatively clutterfree manner, so I bought a couple of these: 0-10V -> PWM converter I guess I have to divide...
Perhaps some kind of power saving feature? I don't really know what they are capable of doing these days, but perhaps test running a game or something whiile monitoring might be worth a shot?
Do you mean in games, or in general (ie, the resolution wouldn't go that far up) ? Because such a card should have no problem displaying that resolution, provided that an DP, HDMI or dual-link DVI cable can be/is used. And the cards can do scaling as well, so you can always game in a lower resolutio...
Seeing how they "may have dead pixels", I would never buy it. Especially since these monitors also are sold with a pixel guarantee for a premium. Ie, these didn't make it....
And I could never stand a monitor with even one dead pixel.
Alright. Beside from the fact that a SSD will make almost *any* system this side of 2005 feel much more responsive, there aren't so many benefits game wise aside from perhaps faster loading times. In the scenario when the system is low on RAM and the system starts swapping, you're still better off b...
"pretend" the GTX660 comes in a 1gig version. same game, same settings. card can't handle game for lack of vram and offloads to the HD ( typical 7200rpm drive ). you get spitting and sputtering because of this. In answer to this question; the stuttering most likely comes from the card hav...
Yeah. Open landscape games like, say, Skyrim, that stream content on the fly when you move around in the world, can benefit a lot from SSD. They are usually good at buffering stuff to system memory beforehand, but every now and then there is some content it needs to fetch from disk before it can be ...
I'm deciding between the Lumia 920 and a Galaxy S3 right now. Using a Galaxy S2 now, and just going to a beefier but similar phone just seems so boring, and I would love to try out WP8 as well. Anyone tried the different suits of the 920? I've read that all but black and cyan are slippery as hell, i...
There are two things I really miss on the Galaxy S2, that the good old HTC Desire before it had; one of them are the notification LED, and the other is the optical trackball.
Hows temperatures and such? You could try running something like Prime95 and stress test the machine, together with Open Hardware Monitor or HWMonitor, to monitor heat.
Also, maybe I missed it, but do you have any peripherals connected, like USB and such? Or any discrete cards in the machine?
The power supplies seems to be either 110-127V or 220-240V. You could always buy a voltage converter, just make sure it handles the wattage of you supply (depends on which version of the Xbox you got).
Simply put, I'd say it's just Intels custom RAID & AHCI driver package, with more features and generally a bit better performance than Windows default driver. I guess the app/service is required for some of those features. Perhaps there is a bad connection on the drive or motherboard or even a b...
I think most of their processors do nowadays, except the budget models.
Easiest way to find out, though, is to just google the model and you'll get Intel's own specs somewhere at the top. They're informative and easy to read.
Unless you're gaming on the HTPC, I'd go with option 2. You won't need anything powerful for accelerated video, and it will probably draw quite a lot less power, thus generate less heat and noise.
Or, if there's a SPDIF_Header on the motherboard, use that.
My guess is the most people don't. Either you have some kind of interest and knowledge, from which perspective you will probably always care that the image could be so much better. Or you don't, and you just take it for what it is...
In BIOS? And which processor model is it? The voltage sounds too much, but if the frequency comes up as higher in BIOS than the rated speed for your model, it is obviously Turbo Core'ing, and I don't know if that also raises voltage to accommodate the higher frequency. 57C is still toasty, but again...
http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=970%20Extreme4&o=BIOS Check "How to update" for "Instant flash". You should be able to do it from BIOS without the need to boot anything, if the info holds true for their UEFI BIOS as well. And if so, you only need a FAT32 formatted...
