Your PC ATM

I heared that ATI Tool shows the voltage the card draws FROM the 12v line not what voltage is actually on there. I checked with HWMonitor and in the BIOS and they all show 12.12v which is normal, right?

You don't "draw" voltage, you draw current. It's like opening the tap: line pressure (voltage) stays equal, you draw content (current).

That ATI Tool is borked. Cause in my experience the BIOS never lies.

I wouldn't put to much stock in what the BIOS says mine lies all the time tries telling me mines only 11.98V but hwm and everest and sisoft and AMD Overdrive all say 12.10 even OCCT says it doesn't dip below 12V when being hard pressed

 

[Velvet Wafer]

as said, people.... get out your multimeter/voltagemeter, and start measuring! thanks to mine, i always know the REAL 12v and 5v voltages

 

[Athlonite]

yup multi meters are an always must have if you want to be accurate

 

[eidairaman1]

aslong as shooting the proper voltage, and never shooting continuity with power applied

Kenny, how u like that G500, ima get me one tomorrow

I think my modem is going bad. Internet access is cutting out every few minutes. The Comcast people won't be able to come and look at it until Monday but I think I'm going to try to buy a new retail modem tomorrow. So, instead of fighting with the neternet, I'm playing a little Red Dead. Also, I don't have any way to hear the PS3 when it's hooked up like this, so instead of listening it to the horrible monitor speakers, I'm just listening to muskiks on my computer.

But, right now the internet is up so I'm watching The Book of Eli while browsing the webs.

its the storms we've been having... mine (comcast) was acting up for a while too, but its all fine now

Nah I'm pretty certain that it's my modem. I called customer service and the guy's diagnostics showed that there was nothing wrong with the signal coming in, so there's either something wrong with the modem itself or the cable line. (plus it hasn't stormed in months).

Try a traceroute to google

Run-->CMD-->Type: tracert www.google.com (space in between "tracert and www.google.com")

If you get bad pings in the 1st or 2nd pass, it's your problem. Anything after that, it's a different problem.

I love it. You cant go wrong with it, esspecially if you have a, little bigger then normal, hands like me. Fits me like a glove

Its accurate and always make me land on top in Modern Warfare 2

hey crazy kenny whats the LG LCD like i was lookin at getting one but I'm finding it hard to find a good technical review of it

 

[Crazykenny]

Very vivid colours I'd say. Good contrast and a resolution of 1680x1050. DVI and VGA options available, although HDMI is not included.

 

[Athlonite]

that's not bad then DVI's fine would like HDMI but here in NZ retailers still like to overcharge for it mostly around a 100 bucks more for a same size / make LCD with HDMI which i thinks sucks and shouldn't be allowed but meh what can you do except bitch and moan

Here's the results:

The thing is, access will be fine and dandy like it should be for 30 min, an hour, whatever and then it'll just drop off (it was down for about an hour this morning).

which modem/router do you own

 

[Soylent Joe]

which modem/router do you own

An Arris TM602G/CT cable modem with a Linksys WRT160Nv3 flashed to DD-WRT firmware.

 

[Athlonite]

are you able to use the modem without the router in the middle just make sure it's not the router at fault

ensure your not folding/crunching or using a Torrent Program, those tend to use a considerable amt of bandwidth and cause higher than normal ping levels. That is what happened to me when my roommate was using a torrent program and I was trying to game.

 

[CDdude55]

I have a XFX 5770 in my hands as of now.(may get a second one later)

About to install it into my system!!, not sure what i will do with my current 4870 512MB card.

 

[Athlonite]

@ cddude55 sell it and buy another 5770 and CF them

I currently have the router bypassed and it's still messing up. Boinc and downloading stuff is all closed out.

then a new modem it is then or try re-flashing the ddrt firmware into it again just to make sure its not the software screwing up
