Fair enough but how do you reduce it without sight!!! Baldie, also try another slot if my first suggestion doesn't work

greywolf2 Have you checked your resolution settings? Depending on your monitor (or in my case TV --- 1080pi) I can run to 1920x1080 Problem is he isn't getting any graphics at all

First simple thing to try is taking the card out, and reseating it into it's slot. Quickly try that, and give me a shout

Gorilla>XI< Surf and turf everyday if I could WOW Gorilla, you could feed a family of four with that!

Congrats whore bag!!!

Welcome to the forums

Yep got 2 sli'd in my machine. Awesome, and extremely quiet

CHKN Cavey Personally if money is an issue go for AMD.. You get more for your money. Simple. I disagree with CHKN, in this day and age you don't need to know anything about liquid cooling to buy and install one. I just bought the Corsair H70, it is a completely seeled unit. When it comes, simply take it out the box, screw the fans and radiator to the case. Plug in the fan power leads, and screw down the heat exchange onto the processor. 20 mintue job. Cost is about $135, but you can get it cheaper in the States. You would need a big case, but if your case is small then get it's smaller brother the H50. u dont disagree with me, and i dont disagree with you. fact is and u cant deny, a good heatsink+fan is better than your 'cheap' cooling system. i dont say its bad, or hard to install, but its more expensive and not as much effective. or u have to get a real liquid system, and thats not the same price and not easy to install. a noctua keep the cpu cooler than a h70 and it also spread air of the whole case better than a cooling system, so it cool down other parts too. the only way to get that efficiency is to get everything under liquid system, but that means it will cost a lot. u'll have to get a liquid system for the video card too I do disagree with you, because you quoted, "I think liquid cooling can be good only if u know exactly what ur doing and u have the right parts, meaning it can cost a lot. Of course there is cheap liquid solutions, but honestly its nothing but a cheap solution" This is simply untrue... As the Corsair H70 is a self contained system, which needs zero maintenance, and is easy to install. It is also cheap, being a tiny bit more expensive than the Noctua. So it is a cheap, easy to install liquid cooling system, which apart from your one image is actually equal to the Noctua, when you read all the forums. The other thing is, it also has 2 fans with a push/pull system, and moves the air around to cool other parts (just like the Noctua). However it wouldn't matter as you always get other fans to pull in and push out air anyway (or you would be a fool not to). Finally the other reason why I personally think the H70 is better is because most people don't want 400 tonnes sitting on their processor!!! Also the power consumpsion of the Noctua is greater than the H70 which means is the long run it is more expensive. Also due to the size you will need to make sure the case is big enough, if not you will need to put some more money aside to buy a new case. Personally if you want to get an air cooled system the new Coolermaster V10 is awesome, and cools the memory dimms as well. This is exactly why I disagree with you, because your statement is unfounded.

snaFU73 - Voice Chat in Black Ops???? "I can only hear Dead People." Why is it you can only voice chat with people that are the same same state of being as yourself? I mean, when you are running around shooting, you can only hear and talk to those not dead. Then when your dead, you can only talk and hear those that are also dead. Alot of conversations are being cut off due to getting shot mid sentence. Also, I have REALLY wanted to make fun of those that have felt the wrong end of my Tomahawk, but the dead cannot hear me. Any explination? To be honest, that makes total sense. If you're dead then you can't talk to the living!!! I think that makes it more realistic, especially when it comes to tournaments. Though thanks for posting, as I didn't know this

My PC has finally died. So just posting from my wife's laptop to say I will not be on a lot for a while. Best get shopping now!!!

Sweatnbullets I cannot either, and comcast blocks xi e mail so Im an idiot too Pm me or hit me up on xfire.. P.S. did you read my post before yours!!!

I only just noticed.... But when you go to reply to a post, and type away... Then half way through you decide not to post... You can click cancel. However it turns out that it posts whatever you type anyway!!! Over to you big boy!

Actually SOB, I'll go a little further, so you understand what an IP Address is and what it's used for. A good friend and tutor once told me that the simplest way to look at it, is to relate it to Royal Mail, or any postal service (keep with me, it will make sence!!!). So in order that a letter can be sent by a friend of yours, and reach you at your home, your house (along with everyone else) has a unique postal address. The postal service, start from the bottom of the address and work upwards. So your Post Code narrows it down to an area with a county, then a road, and finally a house number or name. If there were 2 houses with the same address, the postal service would struggle to deliver the letter, and sometimes the other property would receive your mail. Well the same principle applies with computers. Every computer (or network device) that wants to send and receive information, must have a unique IP Address. An IP Address just looks different, for example 192.102.84.25. Also it works in the opposite direction. So the post code would relate to the 192, then town/city would 102, road = 84 and finally your house would be 25. So when your machine wanted to communicate with xfire, xfire came back basically saying, "I'm confused, should I be talking to you or the other pc in the house?" This is how PC's/networks communicate (send and receive information) with each other. Though this is explaining it in the most basic fashion. I hope it helps.

If you still have the problem, you can force both machines to get another IP Address. Simply click on Start, then run (or if windows 7, Start, then in the search window).... Type "cmd" (without quotes). You will get a black command window appear. Simply type "ipconfig /release" (again without quotes). Once it returns to a new line, then type "ipconfig /renew". Once finished, this will have released the ip address presently assigned to your computer, and requested a new one. Do this on your other machine aswell.

You sure that isn't Boilerdon after drinking a bottle of Jim Beam

A link to the XI Ladders website is at the top of this website, next to My>XI<. This is only visible to clan members when logged into this site. We were having some difficulties with the registration activation via email notification, as it wasn't sending to some members upon XI Ladder registration. To smooth this out, we turned the email activation off. However this would open us up to spam bots creating accounts. As this is a nice new feature, for clan members only, we have hidden the registration page. Should you want to register, please PM Rugger or myself, and we will send you the link. Under no circumstances should it be passed out to non members, as it's a perk of being a member, and any such accounts found will simply be deleted. Should you run into any difficulties, please do not hesitate to PM Rugger or myself. I hope this clears up any questions.
