  1. Those are, wow, those are pretty nice! I'd offer to buy them off ya, but I'm on 120v and those are 240v. Was able to pickup my HDD's at the local post office today, so that's kinda nice. I have them in hand, ready to go for my build this week finally.
  2. Are those pure sine models or simulated sine? Either way, nice find for free! Check the batteries of course. If they're bad, a LOT of units are capable of being wired up to a car battery too, depending on the unit of course. Needs to be a bigger unit to be able to handle it without overheating, probably would recommend active cooling anyway if modding. And, of course, goes without saying, use sealed batteries if you mod, so either Lithium or AGM. My most recent purchase, I derped and forgot to delete an old address out of ebay, so dunno where it is. But 2 of these:
  3. Same card I have, and over $300 less than I paid for mine in April. Not a bad deal. If that's MC, looks like they also have the 6950XT's, Sapphire Nitro or Powercolor Red Devil are both actually pretty fairly priced at $919. Sapphire Nitro or Powercolor Red Devil both automatically usually get my vote just because, well.....

    Missing the background, and you've got to turn Cool N Quiet off in BIOS, and make sure Windows is set to High Performance in the power settings. Since I know its a fresh install since I helped you figure out the install problems you were having, its probably set to "Balanced" power settings still (default). Like Bones said earlier, its showing your CPU is running at 800MHz, which isn't right (because Cool N Quiet).
  5. Have you tried the 22.10.1's available for the 7970 yet? My single 7970 is still on official drivers, I forget what the latest "official" ones were. But I did try the NimeZ drivers before and they were absolutely fantastic on my 6970. Brought a whole new life to the system.

  6. Alright so for me this one's kind of tough because I absolutely love ALL of my old boards. Ironically enough, I don't have much interesting things to say about the later ones that I own......but...... My favorite that I still own would absolutely HAVE to be the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe. I do NOT have this one in use though because it doesn't accept AMD / ATI GPU's in the top PCIe slot. -_- My next favorite that I actually own (and is actually in use) would be my 990FX Sabertooth. It's nowhere near as special to me as the above board, its also nowhere near as good as the above board for overclocking. BUT, its still a really good board and does overclock absolutely fantastically. Tops out around 320 FSB (whereas my A8N32 has done upwards of like 368-372?). And finally, the best motherboard I've owned that I want to get back again would be the unicorn. The one and only, Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe. (Abit / DFI / Sapphire also made these boards). The thing about this board is obviously the ATI Crossfire chipset when 99% of the boards for Socket 939 were NForce. I want another one sooooo badly (any 32 laned CFX 939 board), and I've only found one listing in the last few months of searching, and it just so happened to pop up when I was broke. Go figure. Yeah, its not obvious that I have a fondness for Socket 939 or anything is it? This board was also a really good overclocker when I had one years and years and years ago, nearly as good as the NForce boards. But that 32 laned crossfire action......
  7. No driver issues for me, and I have one of every AMD / ATI card ever made on their single GPU high end. My 6900XT had some issues, but that was sent out for RMA because it wasn't the drivers. I'm not too fond of XFX myself, but if that's the card you want, I wouldn't hesitate. Keep in mind their RTX performance this generation isn't as good as the 3000 series from Nvidia, but otherwise they're a fantastic card.

    Glad you got the Venice ran and submitted. That screenie looked good to me, and @Avacadosaid he'd fight for it to be recognized if questioned, so good enough. To the quoted: You don't need to worry about HDD. Just select IDE or AHCI, and call it a day. Maybe put in the capacity if you want. It's irrelevant to the benchmark in question. RAM speed is 200 and PC3200. They're asking for the MHz value, not the DDR value. I have seen people put the DDR speed in runs at times (so 400), but I don't think TECHNICALLY that would be correct as DDR400 is running at 200MHz. And it specifies MHz next to it.
  9. That works too! I got to thinking too, my idea would get complicated. My idea v2 lol........I think just organizing the "re-order rigs" section so that the top 3 ARE your sig rigs and that's its own separate area to organize in would probably work the easiest long term, and just doing away entirely with the buttons to show / hide in sig. That way users can just drag them out of their sig in the reorder part. If that separated section is empty, you've hidden all rigs from sig. If there's only 1 rig up there, then you're only displaying 1. And then in your list of rigs, they'd all show up in that same order. If that makes sense. So rigs 1-3 are automatically "sig rigs", but if 1-3 (or 2-3 or whatever) is empty, the ones in spaces 4+ just move up a spot in the list in settings to compensate. I wouldn't THINK that would be too terribly difficult to code since the breaks, borders, fonts and everything are all already there. It'd just be a matter of getting the "settings" page (before the reorder) to cooperate nicely if the "sig rigs" section isn't fully populated. Kinda like this, and you could edit the titling to reflect it with the same fonts as the "Drag and drop your rigs to sort...." so that its more clear than my poor MS Paint job..... This would do away with the buttons in the settings page entirely, and the confusion. As is, what you've done definitely helps a TON to realize which ones are shown and which ones are not though. Just trying to help streamline the whole process with ideas is all. I'm sure you've probably already got something better in the works anyway.
  10. It'd be really nice if R* would fix the Ultrawide bug. Or even better any of the bugs in general that completely break the gameplay. -_- I'd be interested to try FSR out on it at native res using 110% maxed out settings. I'll bet its better looking than preset "Ultra". Idk what other titles support it yet. I know I'm using FSR on Cyberpunk, but I think that's still FSR 1.0 since the mod didn't work for me for some reason.....and FSR 1.0 doesn't really look that great. I'd honestly rather use RSR. EDIT: I know, I know, not exactly FSR 2.1 related. I love that AMD is getting better about this tech. It's helpful even for those on high end setups, and I can only imagine how helpful it is on midrange and lower cards. I'm back on my 5700XT right now, and things like FSR and RSR are literal game changers at my resolution. I'd just like to see more implementation of it on games that actually work right out of the box.
  11. I completely had forgotten about those buttons, so that was totally my bad. Maybe make the change so the top 3 are automatically shown in the signature and a button (only on those 3) to HIDE from signature (like they all have now)? Instead of having the button on ALL the rigs? And maybe some sort of a separation line between those 3 and the rest of the rigs? Nothing sharp or drastic, just a page break line like what already separates a post from a signature on the forums for example. Just an idea, I dunno how difficult it'd be to implement. It works GREAT now that I figured out my mistake.
  12. AHA!!! Good catch! I kinda feel silly now. All fixed on my end now.

    You're lucky I somehow killed my Toledo x2. Temp sensors say 105*C at like 1.10v on it underclocked. Slapped my Manchester into the rig, everything's fine. Definitely not the mount. *shrugs Just sucks, that was a 3.1GHz Prime95 STABLE ON AIR chip. -_- I feel ya on the medical problems. Been fighting with a bummed leg myself lately. Getting older sucks. I hope you feel better.
  14. Maybe its just because I have so many? o.0 I'm not complaining mind you, I appreciate the fact I can at the very least change the main one. It's still a welcome improvement regardless.
  15. Neither fixed it for me. Still not showing in correct order in signature, but its ordered correctly under my rigs in settings. I can at least change the primary one, so that's a huge improvement all on its own regardless. :)
  16. It's kinda working, kinda not on my end. Might just be because I made the changes and expected them immediately. Will check back tomorrow (later today). I ordered mine: AMDwhee, AMDerp, and then ThunderK7 as my third. Currently I'm seeing Phenomenon as my third still, but the other 2 are right, and if I go to rig creator they're set right too. It is REALLY nice being able to set my primary rig as the primary one you see in my sig now though. Much appreciated! EDIT: Yeah tried changing again to having AMDerp as primary, then Tole-hoe, then ThunderK7....just to see how the system works, if it does immediately. Main rig changed properly to AMDerp. Secondary still shows AMDwhee and third still shows Phenomenon, which both shouldn't be displayed at all. So again, will check back in the morning.
  17. It's actually JUST starting to cool off enough now, I could put my 290x back to work again if I needed to. I think we're kinda waiting for the hwbot team competition to be over with first though. I know I've been busy with that and some other projects before I can worry about getting folding going again.

    As far as I could tell, the GTX 460 SLI run was correct, but was overpowered by Flux's run. And your GTX 1080Ti run was overpowered by RTX 2080 cards, so as far as I could tell you're good. Idk if those were the only errors on the iGPU run though, but as far as I can tell it should be 100% correct now.

    I can guide you through making the submissions correct mate. So long as I wasn't put in the time out corner myself.....

    /img/logo.png pioneerisloud`s Cinebench - R11.5 score: 1.33 cb with a Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (Manchester) HWBOT.ORG The Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (Manchester) @ 2700MHzscores getScoreFormatted in the Cinebench - R11.5 benchmark... There you go @Avacado. I told you I wasn't gonna settle on a stock run. @Fluxmaven watched the whole run too, it was legit, so don't put ME in the corner either for it. Ask anybody that knows Socket 939. 2.70GHz on a Manchester core x2 is a good run. My 3.1GHz stable Toledo apparently has died sometime, I'll call it a pre-death. But 2.7 on a Manny, with..........DDR-540....... I'm impressed enough with that run for what the CPU was. Now, I'm eyeballing an Opteron 175 like SERIOUSLY bad for $40. Should be a 3GHz+ chip based on the stepping and date codes....... Kind of want. Then I could properly use this really good board again. Sigh, ebay is taking me over again and I don't have the spare $40.
  21. I'll repeat my same comment from YT...... "Pls pls pls be playable with a 6900XT at 4k. At least give us FSR capabilities that make it so."
  22. Ahhh yes, the Tide Pod generation is building computers now.
  23. Interesting problem, and interesting solution I suppose. What's wrong with busting out a paper towel and rubbing alcohol again (or a Q tip)?
  24. Have you been peeking on what I'm getting ready to write up for my reviews?
