Hi, I was just wondering if it was possible to take this code and make it to where it sums using the Fibonacci sequence.

Quote:

cin >> n;

sum = 0;
ii = 0; // Loop control variable
while (ii <= n)
{
sum = sum + ii;
ii++;
} // While loop

Rig Not Starting. Bad PSU or Mobo?

unibrow1990 — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:14:54 GMT

Cleaned my rig yesterday, put everything back together and now it's not working. :banghead:

What has me mystified is the manner in which it isn't working. When you hit the power button it will power on, as in the lights will come on and all of the fans will spin up then after a brief period, anywhere from less than a second to almost a full minute in one case, it will power itself off again and not turn back on till you unplug the PSU and let it drain. This had me thinking that the PSU is bad. However even when the PSU stays on long enough the Mobo makes no attempt to post at all. The debug LED doesn't light up, and doing thing like removing the RAm and starting it cause no post codes. I have double, triple and quadruple check that everything is hooked up correctly and it is good.

So does anyone have any ideas?

Evercool Intros Armor Hard Drive Cooler

btarunr — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:59:29 GMT

PC cooling products specialist Evercool introduced its Armor case-mounted HDD cooler. The cooler acts as a drive-cage, converting 5.25" drive bays into 3.5" bays, and directs air onto three 3.5" hard drives, while occupying two 5.25" bays. It comes with a metal front bezel with perforated metal for the intake. Bezel colors include black and silver. Internally, the drive cage is made entirely of steel. Air is blown onto the drives by a 2 ball-bearing 80mm fan running at 1200 RPM. The perforated front air intake is detachable without dissembling the cage, it lets you clean the dust-filter and the fan. Its pricing and availability are not known.

ASUS Shatters Conventions with High Performance Eee PC 1201N Multimedia Netbook

btarunr — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:26:55 GMT

Multimedia-minded consumers who prize the portability of netbooks but lament the typical lack of processing muscle now have a reason to rejoice. ASUS has launched the Eee PC 1201N, a multimedia netbook sporting an Intel Atom 330 dual core processor and an NVIDIA ION graphics processor that delivers a level of performance never before seen on netbooks. The stylish Eee PC 1201N also offers exceptional typing comfort through a full-sized ergonomic chiclet keyboard, and comes with a total of 750GB hybrid storage to house and host massive multimedia collections.

The Eee PC 1201N marks a radical departure from other netbooks that usually feature single core Atom processors. With its Intel Atom 330 dual core processor, NVIDIA ION graphics, and two-DIMM, dual-channel DDR memory architecture, the Eee PC 1201N will set new netbook performance benchmarks. More importantly, this combination shatters today's netbook conventions by delivering a rich multimedia experience.

A New World of Multimedia Possibilities
The Eee PC 1201N features the award-winning NVIDIA ION graphics processor which provides a superior multimedia experience including support for HD video and PC games. NVIDIA CUDA technology further boosts the Eee PC 1201N's ability to work with visual content, accelerating processor-intensive tasks such as video editing and conversion.

The Eee PC 1201N also comes preinstalled with ArcSoft SimHD, which upscales standard definition video content to high definition. SimHD, a plug-in for ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater, dramatically enhances the quality of images and supports a wide range of file formats. Users can enjoy a smooth HD video experience on the unit's 12.1" high definition screen, or have the option of enjoying full 1080p HD video with true-fidelity 7.1 audio on HDTVs via the built-in HDMI port.

Rene Haas, general manager for notebook GPUs at NVIDIA said, "The ASUS Eee PC 1201N delivers exceptional performance for a netbook. This ION-powered Eee PC is ideal for anyone who wants a netbook with the ability to watch HD video, share and edit photos, play casual games, and convert video to a portable media player. With the upcoming Flash Player 10.1 from Adobe, it will soon handle streaming HD video as well as a high-end desktop PC."

Massive Storage for Massive Multimedia Collections.
The Eee PC 1201N is fully equipped to handle the large amounts of memory that digital media consumes. Boasting a 250GB HDD and 500GB of online ASUS WebStorage—a total of 750GB—the Eee PC 1201N provides ample storage for users' movies, music and photos. ASUS WebStorage not only makes it easy for users to share their media with friends and family, it grants them access to free games, desktop wallpapers, and software via a simple drag and drop interface.

Overclocked my Phenom II 940, stock cooler

Belac Ile — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:40:52 GMT

I just overclocked my Denab 940 with the stock cooler. It seems to be perfectly stable.
System:
Xclio Wind Tunnel tower
Gigabyte MA790GP-DS4H
AMD Phenom II 940 Denab Black Edition
G-Skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ [2x2GB DDR2 800]
XFX Nvidia Geforce 9800GT DDR3 512MB
1TB HD Kubuntu
0.64TB Windows 7 Prof.

Nominal frequency is 3000MHz
I Overclocked it to 3405MHz

To do this I upped the voltage by 0.05v so now its at 1.40v, and set the FSB to 227. I left everything else on auto. Auto sets the Multiplier to x15.

I changed the fan to run at 100% full time, and my window is open(20 Celsius outside) plus the case has many fans.. all of these factors culminate to a constant 38 degrees Idle and 58 degrees with prime95.

Now I dont think that this will damage anything but I would like to get it higher.. and I don't want to back it down when summer comes back. So I was wondering what CPU cooler you guys would suggest. Also if there is any difference in performance from changing the FSB instead of the Multiplier and how this could effect gameplay.

I should also note that my Ram voltage is increased and the latency decreased
also I have overclocked my 9800GT GPU up from 670MHz to 710MHz, and the memory up to 1065MHz

Any advice is much appreciated.

MW2 on PC makes up just 3% of sales

Sir_Real — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:25:31 GMT

After reading a cupple of articals on sites i see the console versions of MW2 are out selling the PC version by a ratio of 97:1

Dispite this the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 has outsold the PC version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare in its first week !

IW official says:

Quote:

PC is the smallest percentage in terms of how much sold on each platform but that hardly means anything other than the PC is just the smallest market.” So the company doesn't really need to properly support the game for the PC anyway.
