Re: Ultimate Socket 754 AMD System

Oh mine is already on the way, but i've payed more than that. You don't get good deals from ebay over to Portugal without high shipping costs. Or even worse, the seller won't send to any other country that not his own. Note: Never mind!! You were talking about the CPU right? Fail on me. I plan to …

Re: Ultimate Socket 754 AMD System

I'll have to remember that. I used to just use rubbing alcohol. Arctic Silver actually dis-suggests using automotive cleaners/solvents to clean CPUs and heatsinks, their argument is that if it has any sort of oil base (which many do) it can adversely affect adhesion of TIM<-> devices and cause poor …

Re: Ultimate Socket 754 AMD System

High proof alcohol should dissolve/evaporate fairly quickly ("quickly" is certainly relative though - I guess if you want instant evaporation that's another story :lol:). That said, good TIM (like AS5) shouldn't need chemicals to remove (I just use a shop rag and an eraser and can get good results). …

Re: Ultimate Socket 754 AMD System

Alright. I just got my 6800 Ultra agp, and this is what it displays: Now i just want to kill someone! It's a pretty sure bet that it's a dead GPU Jim. Are you sure you have both the power plugs connected securely, and a decent power supply? these cards need at least a PSU with I would say at least …

It's a pretty sure bet that it's a dead GPU Jim. http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/oo27/STC_24/StarTrekTheOriginalSeriesHesDeadJim.gif Really looks to be the case. Sorry to see that rick6! :depressed: Out of curiosity (before we entirely write this card off for recycling): does it do this on both …

Re: Ultimate Socket 754 AMD System

Yes i have a decent power supply, dual rail, but still those 25 amps are really only required when the card is being stressed out with benchmarks or games. For testing the video card running my computer bios i shouldn't get artifacts, even if the power supply isn't strong enough. The card would beep …

Re: Ultimate Socket 754 AMD System

Really looks to be the case. Sorry to see that rick6! :depressed: Out of curiosity (before we entirely write this card off for recycling): does it do this on both video outputs? (or all three, if it has a TV output as well) And is this connected via DVI or VGA? Does switching from DVI to VGA change …
