    Logitech G5 or G9?

    I like the KB, and really, do you need a G9? I had an mx310 before I got my G9 and it was good enough for CAL level CS. What do you plan on using your mouse for mostly? Unless you are a CAL i gamer who games to put food on the table I bet you'll find that the mouse you already have does...

    Logitech G5 or G9?

    Well, I have a G9 but I've never tried the G5 so I can't say much to compare them. The G9 is a damn sweet mouse with lots of awesome features and only one bad point. Ergonomics. The G9 will not fit everyone's hands so try before you buy. Also, what will you be using the mouse for mostly? I...

    Ideas? P5KC hates my OCZ reaper 8500's

    My motherboard came with bios v0701, I reflashed it to 0701, then to 0605, then back to 0701. I even cleared the cmos for over 10 min and nothing. I have since RMA'd the ram and the new stuff does the same thing, yet works perfect on another board(1200MHz stock voltage). I have looked at the...

    Ideas? P5KC hates my OCZ reaper 8500's

    Good info on core temps, will do that tonight. About the memory I contacted OCZ and they advised RMA'ing the ram. I'm curious though, can you not purchase OCZ reapers in the UK? They are not cheap here at $210cdn (about 105 GBP) before tax so I don't see why you would be willing to trust a...

    Ideas? P5KC hates my OCZ reaper 8500's

    Tatty One, I live in Canada, but that would mean being sans home PC while the ram crosses the ocean :( . Freeboy, TAT states my cpu idles around 22 (I heard I need to add 15c for the P35 chipset though) and at load its around 42c with my Scythe ninja +rev. B HS. My case is a server tower...

    Sorry if I wasn't clear, by 667 I meant an actual speed of 333Mhz or PC-5300.

    Ideas? P5KC hates my OCZ reaper 8500's

    I have done that, everything from 667 to 1066 and voltages from 1.8v all the way up to 2.35v (2.4v voids my warranty so I won't say that I tried that even though my bios does not provide 2.35v...) it only boots semi-reliably when set to 667.

    Ideas? P5KC hates my OCZ reaper 8500's

    So I purchased my new system components last friday: P5KC e6750 2G OCZ Reaper 8500 pn:2RPR10662GK XFX 8800 GTS 320 THERMALTAKE PUREPOWER RX 550W Needless to say I was excited to see what I could get out of this setup. However it seems the answer is close to SFA as there are issues...

    Ordered a Sapphire X850XT AGP but received X850 PRO!?!?

    Nice. It can almost be seen as a bonus to not have the stock fan too. It's a leaf blower and should be replaced ASAP anyways. Then do the VGPU, VDD, and VDDQ voltmods :)

    Ordered a Sapphire X850XT AGP but received X850 PRO!?!?

    Riiight, Actually I just make calculated upgrades when it's needed, and right now getting an x8xx card sounds like a strange plan. If I had to buy now I'd still wait for cheap DX10 cards to come out. Here's a gander at my upgrade path: CPU OLD K62 450 @500MHz Next Duron 800@1000MHz Next XP...

    Keyboard Lag when ATItool Running

    Well, I ended up switching back to .24 and all is good again.

    Ordered a Sapphire X850XT AGP but received X850 PRO!?!?

    Damn, and I thought I was behind the times with my system. I've had an ati x850xt for a little over a year now running at 560/600 stable with the stock cooler and now I'm going to voltmod it to see if I can squeeze every last drop out before I upgrade again.

    Keyboard Lag when ATItool Running

    Same thing here, I get keyboard lag in BF2. I just installed .25 beta lastnight and it was fine untill I tried to play BF2 today. I was running .24 for AGES before with no problems. I'll try to load the profile and shut it down and see what that does, but I'd prefer to keep ATItool running...
