Well while it lives I expect it to have decent performance at least... That's why I try to understand if it the performance are in line or not...

It lives, AGAIN! woooooooho :D I used the hot gun, I really don't like the oven method. I warmed the card at 80°C for 2 minutes and then 2 minutes at 250 and 1 minute at 300, I just heated the top part of the card, since the problem was propably on the gpu I focused on it but still gave a heat up to …

I did try to reflash the bios, after that on desktop I had no issues, but as soon I started Shadows of Tomb Raider, the screen turned black after a brief moment and then huge rectangle appeared on the screen half black and half white, then garbage and in the end the screen has gone black again and …
Gainward gtx 770 driver error
Posted on 2022-05-21, 10:29
Hello, I bought for 30 bucks a gtx 770 which the seller claimed to give error when the driver were installed. I've tested it on my x58 build and it gives the same problem (code error 43). Unlucky such error hasn't any clear solution. The card itself seems to be in good condition, there are still the …

That would be interesting, I'm trying to update the microcodes but mmtool claims that they are not valid since the file size is different... any suggestion? About the cpu i'm actually undecided between E7600 and E5800, the first supports the sse4.1 but it has a lower speed and according to your …

Ohhh my Ph.D is coming in handy here! Viscosity is going to matter a lot here. The thinnest possible layer of TIM is generally going to be preferable to a thicker, but more conductive one. Then there's mounting pressure and the flatness of the surfaces and everything else going on. That's an …

As for the TIM, it seems the MX-5 is pretty much 95% similar to the Kryonaut in terms of thermal transfer and I have already got some ;) Well if we consider the thermal conductivity I wouldn't say so.

Posted on 2022-05-04, 17:18
I think the problems of the P5A rev 1.05 and 1.06 are because of asus and not the chipset. Unlucky I'm not aware of any other Aladdin V motherboard with such revision of the chipset so hardly we will know the truth.

To my experience the best way to leave a negative feedback (that can't be removed) it is the following: "Item didn't function as described/dead on arrival; seller didn't communicate or help"

I’d never run the risk of my Voodoo 5 overheating, they are just too hard to come by without spending a fortune these days. I feel lucky to have “only” spent £100 on mine two years ago (and listed as not working/parts at that price). Found two copper coolers (heavy) and some decent 5v fans for mine …

Personally I had very few bad experiences on eBay. My first and therefore most shocking one was when I bought a Voodoo 2 12mb, the picture was low quality, but the auction price didn't end that high, something like €30. When I got the card I noticed that it had bent chip legs and one was fully …

Uhm thank you, i'm quite perplexed since the faq mentions the so called stability issue, but the problem is somewhat different here, the motherboard doesn't boot without a pci card installed. Obviously the advanced feature (sba, fastwrite) are disabled, agp is 2x and agp texture size is at the 64mb …
