    Is any memory tested for AMD?

    Looked into this very recently. If you go to AMD overdrive website and click "system requirements" you will find ~10 models which support BEMP, or black edition memory profiles. These rams have been tested for AMD comptability. What's the catch? They carry a hefty price tag over non-BEMP...

    Want to Buy GTA area only, need Microsoft Office 2007 BE and Windows 7

    You can try Bewawa.com since you're in a rush. I ordered a DVD drive from them and they did same-day delivery for free in the GTA area.

    The official SMP client help thread: Post your problems here!

    My questions are pretty broad: Am I good to go? Do I need to do anything special when it hits 12PDT? Also, my 5770 is coming tomorrow and obviously I need to shut this down to install it. Are there any consequences doing so? Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    Whats wrong with my Vertex 60GB?

    After: Cable swap Different Port Fresh install ACHI enabled MSFT ACHI drivers TweakSSD - auto-tweaked Very similar performance. Next try, maybe a forced tony-trim, or a few more hours of idle to kickstart trim. Those 0.3ms access times are really bugging me.

    Whats wrong with my Vertex 60GB?

    I thought I had a problem with 4k reads being pretty low. Benches I've seen have 4k read around 20-30mb/s. I am performing well in the write category though. Thanks for the input guys. With all the hype surrounding SSD's, I thought the difference would be night and day. So far, I'm not that...

    Whats wrong with my Vertex 60GB?

    ACHI really makes a difference in this? I'm not doubting you, but IIRC ACHI is only responsible for NCQ and hot swap - both should not affect performance for SSDs. Unfortunately, I can only remotely log in right now so I can't access BIOS, but I'll try it when I'm physically at the computer...

    Whats wrong with my Vertex 60GB?

    Fresh install of win7. Ran "SSD Tweak" program to disable prefetch, superfetch, defrag. Disabled write caching. Installed AMD Chipset Drivers. <--- Maybe this?? IDE Mode - NOT ACHI <-- Possibility? Hardware: AMD X2 550BE@ X4 - 3200mhz CPU-NB @ 2400mhz. 8GB DDR2-800 @ 4-4-4-8 OCZ Vertex...

    60GB Vertex $160 after MIR

    Does this mean we'll be seeing more aggressive pricing of SSDs from NCIX in next week's sale?? :biggrin:

    OCZ Vertex 60GB or OCZ Agility 60GB?

    The cheapest price for an Agility was 139 after a 40 dollar rebate last week. It was sold on Newegg as a shellshocker. The sale didn't last very long though and I missed out. At that pricepoint, going with the Agility is a no-brainer.

    The rad is a MCR320. A 480 should fit, but you will need to dremel out a hole for the remaining 120mm fan slot. You will also need to sacrifice two 5.25" bays, or one at the very least if you only Pull or Push.

    Purchasing from Sidewinder Computers - Duties, Taxes, Hidden Fees?

    I never heard from Gary from Sidewinder, thus I ordered from Petras. Actually, I was quite disappointed when I called Sidewinder. While I'm sure he was busy, Gary picked up the phone, and said he wasn't open today. I asked if he could spare a minute to answer my question (see OP), but he said no...

    Purchasing from Sidewinder Computers - Duties, Taxes, Hidden Fees?

    Update: I ended up ordering from Petras because Sidewinder never replied to my email. Petras will ship to Canada under one condition - you pay using Paypal. It wasn't a big deal for me since it was essentially paying with credit card. They replied quickly to all my emails within 24 hours...

    Corsair Obsidian 800D Owners Photo Gallery!

    Watercooling parts came in today!! OMFG Bitspower true silver barbs + Masterkleer 7/16" tubing DO NOT MIX. They were an absolute pain to get on, even with the hot water trick. Ended up cutting my finger severely with a pair of scissors trying to get the tubing off the barbs. Nonetheless, no...

    Corsair Obsidian 800D Owners Photo Gallery!

    Whew... just finished transfering hardware to this case. By far, much much easier to work with than the P180. There are a few flaws though: 1. It doesn't fit a PC&P 750w Silencer properly. You will need to take off some plastic surrounding the power plug to get it to fit. I just left it so...

    can anyone comment on load temperatures vs your previous case? on other forums, everyone has been disappointed with the air cooling of the case, especially in the gfx card region.

    AMD 550 unlocked to B50 X4 OC @ 3.7GHz 1.415v

    No problem. Mine is an unlocked 550BE as well. The most important thing in overclocking is proceeding in a step-by-step fashion, changing only one parameter at one time and testing again. If you look at my spreadsheet, in every line, I only make a bump in one voltage before proceeding to the...

    AMD 550 unlocked to B50 X4 OC @ 3.7GHz 1.415v

    If it is stable, that is a golden chip that you have. I needed 1.47v to hit 3.7ghz. Take a look at this spreadsheet. Every chip is different, so your settings will not match mine specifically. X2 550BE Ver2 In terms of temperatures, using HWMonitor, you should see a TMPIN0 or TMPIN1...
