I guess that means I'm not the only one with a massive temp difference between cores. Even my de-IHS'ed X2 4400+ has a >5c difference between cores at load, at idle it can reach 10c. :shadedshu

Am I the only one who noticed a missing choke? :confused:

But then it would just kill itself when you finish a game. Hopefully that wasn't in too bad taste.:laugh:

One X1950 pro died, the other one is still going strong.

But an Audigy 4 is pretty much an Audigy 2 ZS. And this card is seriously gimped compared to its predecessor, which is nothing new for Creative.:laugh:

X-FI chip supports EAX 5, all versions up to that can be done purely in software.

I see nothing but solid caps, so it seems like they fixed that problem.

Wow, that program just completely locks up my system. Probably because my mobo is barely even half-working, but still.

I've used kits like this, they seem to be made by some OEM and branded with different companies and honestly, they suck. All the tools are really low quality and wouldn't last for long with more than occasional use. It's good if you're just starting out and have no tools at all, but you won't be...

What do you mean xtx cooler? It looks like a passive cooler under that mesh.

Is this a joke or are you really that stupid/ignorant? :wtf: Sure they are identical in specs, but the BIOS and drivers are different, due to what bta said. And opengl is is no way worse than d3d, in fact it's better because the API is completely open, so it's much, much cheaper to develop...

It's not supposed to be a video card, it's pretty much just an HD4850 optimized for GPGPU applications. You're probably thinking of the FireGL line, those are workstation video cards.

Just a safety precaution I think, no chance to crack the core this way if you screw up with mounting a cooler. I remember the socket A days when people kept cracking their CPUs, I actually cracked 2 2400+s, but they still worked after that. But then again, sith the new mounting bracket, I don't...

After my DFI board died with the X2 installed, I wanted to see if the CPU was still alive, so I put it in my asus a8r-mvp. Problem was, the cooler retention bracket was already modded for an IHS-less CPU (my old Venice 3500+), I didn't want to take out both boards and swap the brackets, so I...

Well at least their IMC doesn't have the cold bug that the A64 IMC's have.:laugh:
