Downgrade GC

Hiwatari — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 12:16:26 +0800

Hi,

Just now my mom complained about the recent TNB bill
usually the bill ranges from RM150-180/month
current is RM290

Upgraded my rig last month so i suspect the rig might have contributed as well as all other home appliances were used just as regularly

My rig's spec:
Athlon II X3 440
Biostar A770E3
KVR1333 2GB x2
Palit GTX260+
SATA2 hdd x2
Huntkey Greenstar PSU
no floppy/optical drive

All running at stock speed n no core unlocking
frequent usage for gaming/HD playback/typing/surfing

My question is whether it is worth it to downgrade the gc alone to reduce the power consumption of the rig?
previously used 7950GX2 which requires only 1 PCI-E power instead of 2 for GTX260
currently aiming for 5750/5770

Thanks

CPU usage unbalanced

Hiwatari — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:06:35 +0800

Hi

noticed my CPU usage is not 'really' 100% when I'm playing HD videos
only 1 core is fully utilised while the other 1 barely reach 10%
is it normal for WMP to utilise only 1 core?
if not, what should i do to fix it?
currently the speed of sound is 'faster' than the speed of light on my lappy
tengok SNSD oso not syiok

CPU is Turion x2 2.20GHz
OS is XP SP3

Thanks

RAM usage for Vista

Hiwatari — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:40:56 +0800

Hi,

Purchased Acer Aspire 4535 about 2 months ago
Only equipped with 1GB of RAM which doesn't run well on Vista

Whenever I check the Task Manager, the free physical memory is always 0
So I realize I need to upgrade the RAM...bought another 1GB

To my surprise...Task Manager still showing 0 free physical memory
1st I thought the new RAM is not detected, but Task Manager clearly shows that the total physical memory is 1789MB(refer attachment)

But in Resource Monitor and Windows Sidebar only show 40% of RAM usage
So why free physical memory is 0?

Hope some1 can clarify

Thanks

7950gx2

Hiwatari — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 21:01:58 +0800

Hi,

Recently purchased a used 7950gx2
seller mentioned it's nVIDIA...not XFX, BFG bla3
received the card, but no psu to test it yet(seller said need 400W true power)
looks good at first, was checking on the card, n found sth fishy bout it
the lower card(the one which is slotted into the PCI-E slot)...the hsf sticker is orange instead of green as on the top card
was curious, so dismantle the card, and found out that the orange sticker is an Inno3D sticker

so the 1st q :
is Inno3D card actually an nVIDIA card w/ another sticker slapped on the hsf?means if peel off the sticker, u'll see the green nVIDIA's sticker...izzit?

then checking both cards again n found out that the BIOS version for both cards are different
top card : 5.71.22.24.06
bottom card : 5.71.22.24.05

now 2nd q :
can both cards work 2gether?if yes, do i need to flash the BIOS for either card with the 1 used by the other card?

Hope u guys can clarify me on these q

Thanks

flash BIOS

Hiwatari — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 01:29:14 +0800

hi
hope in the right section

i need to flash the BIOS of my mobo
but i need clarification regarding the following:

http://www.giga-byte.com.tw/Support/Mother...?ProductID=1860

went to the website to dl the BIOS...the prob is there are many version of BIOS there. found the version required(F10) but there are newer versions. in description, doesn't state that the newer version covers all the updates for the previous version. so if i flash w/ F12K, will i get the updates from F10 as well?

also, is it risky?how long will it take?do i hv 2 reformat my hdd after flashing the BIOS?

thanks
