Core and vga silencer Q's

ok, i've been mooching about a few oc'n forums and seem to have found i need some clarity.
i have a 9800 pro and was thinking of flashing the bios to an xt if it can handle the clocks [haven't tried yet], the thing i'm unsure of is wither an r350 core will work with the new bios?  i've read people recomend it as fine and others that it'll cause ghosting.
i'm not sure of the core right now anyway, i'm planning to check whan i apply some new thermal grease [it's a his ice-q board, wan't some top grade compound].
if it turns out to just be an r350 will i be left with oc'n as my only realistic option?
also, i'm planning to mod my brothers 9600.  i've seen new vga silencers with less bulk, are the fan's bigger/more efficient?  what's the stats of these models, need to push as much power out of the little card as i can.
cheers
NIB

so an r350 is possibly able to handle  a 9800xt bios, but may not work?
i was under the impression it was out of the question with r350's.
cheers

    I'm really sorry but the Vantec Iceberg and the Silencer DON'T go together.  
    There is about 1.5mm !!! gap between the MSI chipset cooler and the "head" of the Silencer where the fan is situated.
    I couldn't even put the smallers of fans between these 2.And i mean the smallest..You might even say i was lucky the Silencer fits!!!
    I have a 9800 Pro so i should know.
    And to all those who say it fits, either you don't know and are guessing, or i challenge you to post a PIC with one installed.
    And if that doesn't convince you, i will be forced to post a pic myself so you can show me your MAGIC.
    And all that jus to keep poor folks from buyiing stuff they can't use, just from misinformation.

  • Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer + Zalman CNPS7000 = Fit?

    I'm thinking about getting an Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer for my Hercules 9800 Pro, but I was wondering if the back piece really fits between the AGP card and the Zalman CNPS7000. Right now my gfx has the special stock cooling on, a.k.a Hercules-style with copper RAM-sinks and a copper heatsink for both the front and the back (back of the card, that is) of the GPU. It's a pretty tight fit to get my SATA cable through them.
    Will it fit?
    I'm also wondering if the VGA Silencer fits on my card? It does have non-stock cooling, but it's the same layout if you remove the heatsink and RAMsinks.

    How about the Zalman ZMHPOPH80blablabla thing. Does it fit? It'd be nice to have to zalman coolers

  • Vga silencer (ati) fit on msi neo2 939

    I am concerned about the clearance between the northbridge fan and my vga silencer (ati ver.1)  used currently on my ati 9800pro.  I have ordered the msi neo2 and think that it will barely fit but wondered if anyone else have noticed this.
    Thank you
    Kim

    I had a little problem installing mine. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what was going on. The H/L switch on the VGA Silenser was hitting one of the capasitors on the mobo and I couldn't push the card all the way in. I had to unbolt and reposition the switch. And like the others said there's not much room between the NB fan and the card, but it does fit. I think it would be chalanging trying to get to the AGP slot clip with that tight fit. Good luck!

  • Split DVI - I to 'DVI - D and VGA'  to connect beamer(vga)  and 24"(DVI)

    I want to buy the new core duo mac mini, the only thing i don't know is if i can connect 2 displays to the mac mini by splitting the signal. I want to display the same picture on both screens. Both screens run at a resolution of 1920x1200.
    Can i split the dvi-I signal to dvi-d and vga (useing this cable: http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=3342)?
    Does this also work with bootcamp windows xp on the mac mini?

  • Thermaltake crystal orb on K8N Neo chipset w/ VGA Silencer

    hi!
    does anyone have a thermaltake crystal orb (http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/chipset/a1178.htm) on the nforce 3 250gb chipset and a radeon with a Arctic VGA Silencer on it - does the orb fit ?
    I have one of these in another system i am thinking of using it to cool the nf3 chipset- the only problem being the fan on the VGA silencer comes pretty close to my current southbridge nf2 board -and by the looks of things its not in a very different location on the K8N Neo board.
    thanks!

How about using a little Arctic Silver 5 on it too?
    Yes, you will need to get at the back of the MB to remove the MSI NB heatsink. AS5 is always good for what ails!  

  • What is the difference between Azure RemoteApp Basic vs Standard Plans in terms of compute cores and memory?

    So our customer has asked us to compare compare Amazon Workspace and Azure RemoteApp offerings for them to choose from. While looking at Amazon Workspace, it clealy defines bundles with specific CPU cores, memory and user storage. However, Azure RemoteApp
    only specifies user storage and vaguely compares its basic vs. standard plans in terms of "task worker" vs. "information worker"
    I tried looking up its documentation but couldn't find specific CPU cores that are dedicated per user in basic vs. standard plans. I have following questions:
    Can anyone point me in the right direction or help understand how many CPU cores and memory are dedicated (or shared) per user in each plan?
    Our customer would most likely need a "custom" image for their custom apps. Is it possible for us to choose specific CPU cores and memory for the users to be able to run their apps in azure remoteapp?
    In case i am misunderstanding the basic difference between AWS workspace and Azure RemoteApp, i'd appreciate some help in understanding it as well.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    With Azure RemoteApp users see just the applications themselves, and the applications appear to be running on their local machine similar to other programs.  With Workspaces users connect to a full desktop and launch applications within that.
    1. Azure RemoteApp currently uses size A3 Virtual Machines, which have 4 vCPUs and 7GB RAM.  Under Basic each VM can have a maximum of 16 users using it whereas under Standard each VM is limited to 10 users.  The amount of CPU available
    to a user depends on what the current demands are on the CPU at that moment from other users and system processes that may be on the server.
    For example, say a user is logged on to a VM with 3 other users and the other users are idle (not consuming any CPU).  At that moment the user could use all 4 vCPUs if a program they are running needed to.  If a few moments later
    the other 3 users all needed lots of CPU as well, then the first user would only have approximately 1 vCPU for their use.  The process is dynamic and seeks to give each user their fair share of available CPU when there are multiple users demanding CPU.
    Under the Standard plan a user will receive approximately a minimum of .4 vCPU assuming that the VM has the maximum number of users logged on and that all users are using as much CPU as possible at a given moment.  Under the Basic plan the approximate
    minimum would be .25 vCPU.
    2. You cannot choose the specific number of cores and memory.  What you can do is choose the Azure RemoteApp billing plan, which affects the user density of each VM as described above.  If you need a lower density than Standard you
    may contact support.

  • How to connect my Mac Air 13" to my Philips display with DVI and VGA ports?

    How to connect my Mac Air 13" to my Philips display with DVI and VGA ports?

    Use a DVI to micro-DVI adapter if you're on an original MacBook Air, and a Mini DisplayPort adapter for a newer one.

  • Mini DisplayPort to DVI and VGA - Does it work or not?

    I have just received my new aluminium MacBook Pro, and I think it is awesome. I can even get over the fact that it lacks the full-size DVI connection like the old one has just because it is so nice and shiny. I do need it to work with both DVI and VGA displays though, so I know I will need to buy an adaptor.
    My question is: If I buy either the mini DisplayPort to DVI or the dual-DVI adaptor from the apple store, will either one of them work with a DVI-VGA cable? I have heard so far that the single-DVI adaptor does NOT support the VGA pass-through, but would like some confirmation. Even if it is cheaper to buy both the DVI and VGA adaptors I would prefer the dual-DVI adaptor as long as it can do VGA as well, because one adaptor is better than 2.

    As far as I know daisy chaining adapters will not work for the MiniDisplay port. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8300784#8300784
    You will need to buy both adapters, the MiniDisplay to DVI and a MiniDisplay to VGA. I would also suggest you voice your opinion at http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html and let them know how you feel about needing to purchase an adapter when one should be included with the computer purchase.

  • Mac Mini (Late 2014) 2 display HDMI and VGA

    Hi,
    I got my new mac mini and i have 2 display. One is with HDMI, other is VGA.
    I will use normal HDMI port and thunderbolt port with Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter from Apple to use them both, and i want to "Extend" my screen but the Apple guy on the store told me that "you only can duplicate the screen, can not extend it; both your HDMI and VGA monitors screen the same thing."
    Is it correct? Because i think he is not sure about what he said it doesn't make sense to me.
    Regards.

    I have no idea where what person is getting his information. I have used yur arrangement on my 2012 Mini which has one HDMI and one Thunderbolt port.
    You sense is better than that person's. You you can have extended display with HDMI and VGA via mini displayport (plugs into Thunderbolt port) to VGA adopter

  • VGA Silencer AT 3

    I'm dissapointed to say that the $40 VGA Silencer AT 3 does not fit on my MSI RX9800 Pro 128 MB. I had really high hopes of using it. The first thing I noticed when I received the package was the fact that it had a 3 pin connector instead of a two pin. I was overjoyed of the fact that I did not have to spend 30 minutes cutting off the plug. Then i removed my VGA Silencer Rev 3 to find out that the new one does not fit because there is an obejct in the way on the upper left corner.

    Try this instead.

    didnt realise they did so many models of it myself.

  • 4 cores or 8 cores and which video card to choose

    My father and I are presented with a dilemma. Should we get 8 core model or the 4 core model at several hundred dollars cheaper?
    I have never actually bought for myself a computer, and I want to make this one last. At the moment, 8 cores is completely top of the line, and assuming I choose such a model, I will probably have an exceptionally well computer that will last be many, many years.
    I am most likely going to at all times be running Windows and Leopard side by side using Parallels and have a game running in Windows and developing, browsing, chatting, watching movies, ventrilo, etc. in the other space.
    For this reason, would it be wise to purchase the 8 core model? It is considerably cheaper to add the extra quad core with Apple as it is nearly half the price of one found on newegg or a dell configuration. I really want this computer to last and use it for a long time and play the most top of the line games with my friends such as Age of Conan, Crysis, etc. Also, I will have a 24 inch monitor that I will also need my computer to power.
    My current computer cannot even run Age of Conan at the lowest quality settings. I figure if I want to be able to run this game at 1920x1200 resolution in Parallels while running applications on Leopard, shelling out the extra three or four hundred dollars would be worth it. Seeing as I will be using this computer for years, even though most applications do not use 8 cores now, they will then.
    I believe that the 4 core model of the Mac Pro does not allow for an additional xeon quad core, so if I did buy the single quad core model, I would not be able to add another quad core, thus limiting me. Also, even if there were, it would void my warranty.
    Also, I have heard of the 8800 GT causing some problems in the Mac Pro, typically in the first generation ones, however, I had seen cases of people noting problems in the January edition. I want to do a lot of gaming in this rig, and the 8800 is the de facto card of choice for most gamers, at a reasonable price. However, will it give me problems? I have heard of some people having 0 problems at all with this card. Will it give me those occasional blue and green lines through my monitor? Has Apple fully developed the drivers for this card? Will I have problems with it?
    Thanks for any help and I await your responses.

    Fromethius,
    you cannot assing CPUs to the VM in Parallels. In VMware you can select 1 or 2 virtual CPU for the guest OS, though that doesn't neccessarily translate 1:1 with your physical CPUs.
    As for games, neither VM nor Parallels with run most later games well; remember, shader support is only experimental right now, so your results will vary.
    I play games on Mac natively, but it depends on which ones you are after.
    The is no problem with the 8800 card. The issues talked about - which is valid - is it's subpar CORE performance. That hopefully will be addressed in a driver, but won't affect you.
    As for the system - get all you can afford. Don't wait for 'upgrades' - you'll never buy s system otherwise as something new is always on the way.
    I work with a lot of video so I have an 8 core 3.2 with 16GB or RAM - and would never want less. Does that mean you need that? Or someone else doesn't even need more? Not at all - you just need to see what you really mean to do. 4 cores and the 8800 should be just fine for you. IF you can afford the 8 core, in case you will do a lot of work at the same time, great. Otherwise, rather not skimp on memory. Anything under 4GB, IMHO, ain't good enough.
    Cheers,
    dan
