Sacred Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Nice!! Game on!!! Company of Heroes here I come. They sent me a new board got it the other day. Things been ok. been getting some flaky video issues now though. Was not having video issues before I sent board back. I am thinking maybe I should have just gotten another board. Think I am going to wait for prices to gop down a some more on PCIE GPU and upgrade to that next. give wife this MB and GPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 What kind of issues? locks up, bsod, reboots, etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacred Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 What kind of issues? locks up, bsod, reboots, etc ? I was getting some video issues. artifacting mainly. I think that may have been that I had the card oc a bit. I was running the core at 424 instead of the usual default 400. and I had an additional vertex process enabled 4 is the default. I think the 6800 GT is 16 pipes and 6 vp. The GS is scaled down a bit to 12 pipes and 4 vp. maybe I shouldn't oc the video card anymore. I reset it to the defaults things seem better. If I shutdown system and cut power to power strip next I turn computer on the CMOS defaults get loaded like the cmos is not holding its charge and memory. gets annoying guess I just need to keep power strip on. There are a lot more OC options. Don't think I will play with those though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Yep, artifacting is a sure sign of a vidcard being pushed to far, or the fan on it failing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacred Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yep, artifacting is a sure sign of a vidcard being pushed to far, or the fan on it failing. I should stop tryhing to OC my system. It runs fine when I just leave it alone. not the fastest but not the slowest either. Maybe one of these days I will get around to building a new system give old to wife.

B.Ob. Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 OC'n can be fun, but usually only nets ya a couple frames per second extra. Assuming stock cooling. CPU OC'n have to watch for heat and instabilty. Video card OC'n, have to watch for heat/artifacts and instability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
