New cpu and motherboard+something is wrong

Hi!
I am thinking of bying a amd 64 3400+ or 64 3500+ with a nforce3 motherboard,
But what is the difference between 3500+ and 3400+? I read that the 3500+ is 2.2ghz and the 3400+ is 2.4ghz. But is it worth it? I mean will it do a lot difference in games.
btw. I think my comp is quite sloow, I cant run farcry att the highest details with out freezez and it wont run smooth. I only have agp 4x, is that the problem? And when I play farcry its some strange colors everywhere I have flashed my X800 PRO into a X800XT PE but it does not go over 65 celsius, So I dont think its because its to hot right?

I hope that is a joke, you should keep the Antec TP380 over anything Q-tech have (regardless of how many imaginary watts they print on the sticker).
The 3500+ is 2.2GHz in socket 939 (meaning dual channel DDR400) while the 3400+ is 2.4GHz in socket 754 (only one DDR400 channel).
They trade off clock speed for memroy bandwidth to reach the same preformance on average.
Themost cost effective CPU right now is probably the A64 3000+ or the 3200+ (2.0 and 2.2GHz respectively).
The 3400+ and 3500+ are a huge price hike for very little added preformance.
To play farcry your main problem right now is only 512MB of RAM, when using high settings far cry uses 1GB of RAM and you want as little of that as possible in your swap file.
The 2.53GHz P4 is good enough and the X800 card is excelent.
It will of course be a big improvement if you go for a new CPU which uses DDR400 (and replace the PC2100 with 1GB of DDR400) rather than just adding 512MB to the current system, but it's up to budget.

CPU and Motherboard upgrade for Premiere Elements 11

Hi all. Been perusing the Premiere Elements and Pro forums but still have a few questions.
I’m upgrading Premiere Elements from PrE9 to PrE11 and am upgrading some of my desktop’s hardware at the same time. I could use some advice about choosing a CPU, graphics card, and motherboard. The goal of this upgrade is to considerably speedup transcoding without breaking the bank. The budget’s a bit flexible but I’d like to keep it at or under $500 for the motherboard/CPU combo.
The computer will be used for editing and transcoding AVCHD videos. The videos are shot in either 1080i or 1080p using a Panasonic HDC-TM700.
I’m processing about 2-3 hours of video per week and my current system takes a long time to transcode. For example, it takes well over 3 hours to convert 1 hour of AVCHD video to wmv. An Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 with 3 GB of RAM was fine for the occasional video, but it’s too slow for what’s currently needing to be processed.
New CPU:
At this point I’m looking at the following processors:
i5 3570K
Ivy Bridge
No hyper threading
i7 2600K
Sandy Bridge
hyper threading
i7 3770K
Ivy Bridge
hyper threading
Questions:
) Does PrE11 make use of hyper threading?
) If PrE11 doesn’t use hyper threading is there much of anything to be gained by getting the i7? The i5 is about $90- $100 cheaper than the i7 CPUs and seems pretty quick.
New Motherboard:
I’ve had good luck overclocking Asus motherboards, so I’m leaning towards getting another one, but am open to alternatives.
The choice of board will depend mainly on Intel’s northbridge chip:
Ivy Bridge – Z77 chip
Sandy Bridge – Z68 chip
Question:
) Are there any other northbridge chip/CPU combos I should be looking at?
Current Graphics Card:
nVidia Geforce 8400 GS 512 MB DDR2
Drivers are up to date and downloaded from nVidia.
Question:
) Since PrE11 doesn’t use the graphics card’s GPU, will it be okay to continue using this card for the new build? I’m not a gamer and this card works just fine for the current build.
Additional hardware/software details:
PSU: Seasonic X660
HDD: Four 1TB 7200 rpm drives
Memory: 16 GB DDR3 RAM
OS: Win7 64 bit or Win8 64 bit (haven’t decided yet whether to go with Win 7 or 8)
Thanks in advance for your comments and help.

I have been going through the same process. Yes PE does support multiple threads and definatley go with the ivybridge i7 cpu. Asus is also the board I'm going with. They have made OCing much easier but be careful of high temps that leads to early failure of the cpu . Most of them let you have a maximum of 32 gig of ram and with memory so cheap check out upgrading to a higher grade memory. This can be overclocked as well. One of the ivy bridge cpus has 6 cores but cost $500 plus and requires a more expensive MB as well. too expensive for me though. I believe the built in graphics processor in the i7 k series the HD4000 is enough for PE. For about $650 I got an i7 at Microcenter for $229 and I think they just lowered the price to $200 an Asus MB at Newegg for $140 and 16gig ram for $70 also check out SSD drives in the 128 gig range are about $100 which you could use for you C: drive maybe take it up to 256 gig for more. They are getting pretty cheap
Good luck with your build.

CPU and motherboard upgrades for DV7-2278ca

Hi
I have a DV-2278ca laptop with Intel Core™2 Quad Q9100 2.26-GHz with 12-MB L2 cache and 1066-MHz FSB and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 discrete graphics subsystem and 1-GB of dedicated memory.
I want to upgrade them to something that uses second/third generation INTEL (I5/I7)
Is it possible? if yes what are my options?
Thanks!

I am going to be honest here. The chances of upgrading those components is very low and not very likely to work with that notebook case.
A second generation Core i5/i7 process is two generations away from the current processor which will require a motherboard upgrade. I'm certain you are aware of this since you mention upgrading the CPU and the motherboard. This is an issue since the case for the notebook was specifically matched to the motherboard it came with. It is possible that finding one that supports what you want and fits that case will be challenging. It can also add up in cost and risk. Risk being the components just don't work or a different feature of the notebook doesn't work any more.
I did do some research to find other posts, in this forum and outside this forum, where others have successfully changed those components. I found plenty on replacing it with the same motherboard, but none that were specifically upgrading it. Perhaps I did not use the right search terms. Notebooks are generally intended to be as they are configured with limited upgrades available for the hard drive and RAM.

Cpu and motherboard upgrade

I want to upgrade my cpu to a good one so I need a mother board and the cpu my budget is 150 or should I build my own pc I have a gpu in my pic at the moment any suggestions

hi,
firstly you need to be clear as to whether you want any future upgrades or not(namely a graphics card,in the case of which a power supply upgrade would also be needed)
assuming you only need a cpu and mobo upgrade i must say that 150$ is a little low for upgrading both...a decent cpu comes at that price...
for the cpu id recommend,firstly ,something from intel as they last longer than their amd counterparts...you could look at the following-
http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-6-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electron... you REALLY want something from amd this is it)
intel core i3-3210,4150(i'd go for this)
as for the mobo...if you want the intel cpu it has to be an lga 1150 socket type...at a lower price range,the
Intel DH87RL 4th Generation
mobo is quite good,the MSI B85M-G43 Motherboard is also worth a look(this one is my recommendation)
for an amd it has to be of the am3 socket type-the
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Motherboard is what id get
youll have to stretch to around 200 at the least
this is just an outline...anything else you need,just ask

Neo2: New bios, new CPU and new problems. Any ideas???

I wonder if any brainboxes here have any ideas what's going on here.
Recently I bought an Opteron 146 off ebay, as an upgrade to my existing A64 3200+. I have been running the 3200+ at 10x250 for about 1 year now with no crashes or problems whatsoever, but the idea of 1MB cache and maybe 2800MHz or more was too tempting to resist, so I went for the new Opteron.
I upgraded to Easybios 1.c3 to make sure the new CPU was properly supported.
But since installing the Opteron, I have had lots of problems. The CPU will boot and run at up to 2900MHz with an extra 10% voltage. But it is not Prime stable at that speed. At 2800MHz + 1.54v it will run 3dmark and SuperPI and things like that, but it just won't run Prime.
So I have tried to see at what speed it *will* Prime. I have dropped the FSB down and down and down and down.
Today I find it won't even run Prime at the stock 2,000MHz!!! Not even at 1.54v, let alone 1.4v stock.
So what's goiing on? Have I been sold a "duff" chip? Or maybe Easybios 1.c3 doesn't like my PQI Turbo TCCD ram? (That would seem strange. I ran a few loops of Memtest86 with my old CPU just after I upgraded the bios and all seemed fine up to 295MHz, which is as high as I ever went before.) Or maybe I have some other fault that's been hidden all along?
What do you guys suggest I do? I could flash back to an older bios version. Or I could swap the CPU out and put the old one back and do some more tests (BIG hassle as I will have to take the motherboard out again to do that!)
Any ideas / suggestions?
Cheers
Chip

I tried lower the memory speed (133 divider) and it made no difference. I even tried dropping the multiplier down to 8x and ran 8x200 = 1600MHz, with a 133 memory bus (i.e. 1064MHz on the memory). Even at these abismal speeds, it would not pass Prime for more than a few minutes. I tried 1.4v all the way up to 1.55v and it still wasn't stable even at those speeds.
Anyway, after lots of messing around, I found the CPU has a problem with the particular version of Prime95 I was using. I downloaded the latest version and I can at least get it stable running now - albeit at pathetic speeds.
I can get 2300MHz stable at 1.5v. Pretty abismal for an Opteron 146. The crook who sold it me swore it would do 2800MHz at 1.5v stable - in a Neo2!!! I think he lied.
I will see how high I can get it at 1.55v, but I don't hold out any great hope - its not only P95 that wasn't stable before - it would crash windows occassionally anyway, so it clearly not a great chip.
Thanks to everyone. If anyone has got any bright ideas as to how to squeeze any more performance out of this piece of junk, I would be keen to hear it.
This chip cost me £140 on ebay, and I won't be able to sell it for much because I - unlike the person who sold it me - am not prepared to lie about its performance.
Since my old A64 would do around 2650MHz with a worse cooler than what I have now, I think my latest "upgrade" has been a downgrade :-(

W701ds CPU and Motherboard temperature problem

Hello Lenovo Community,
I have a w701ds 4323 laptop with nvidia fx2800, an SSD drive and a second 500gb hdd.
I use this laptop for web development and image processing and i kept it on a cooling pad, The CPU and MB temperature has always been like between 70-80 °C, but now i've removed the cooling pad and it goes between 80-90.
This is not normal, so can you guys share your experiences with this.
This is supposed to be a powerful machine with i7 and 16gb RAM, but it doesn't seem so, so far i had the nvidia problem but i think i finally fixed it with disabling powermizer and i'm thinking about disabling the overheat slowdown because it just freezes from time to time.
I'm running windows 7 64 and a linux mint which i barely use. The power settings are for maximum performans, the fans are set to active with no power saving and the bios options for power saving are all disabled.
Please advise.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have W701 built 10/2010 with i7 920XM and 16GB RAM. SSD and 500GB hard drive like yours. I'm also running 128GB SSD in the Ultrabay in place of DVD drive. All USB ports in use, including the eSATA port. When set to highest performance, I often pegged the meter on this machine during Photoshop usage. I was finding temps reaching 85F to 90F frequently (no cooling pad). I chose to open the laptop up and inspect the cooling system. After 3 years, alot of dust and junk had accumulated on both fans (slowing them down) and other various parts of the cooling ducts, etc. Cleaned all that crap out, made it look like new inside.
Running same routines as before, sustained temps above 80F are very rare. In Thinkpad default mode plugged in, average temp is mid-50's. Battery save mode, the sucker idles in the high-40's now. The Nvidia 2800 card also runs about 5F cooler than before.

Upgraded CPU and motherboard

How do I make arch get back in touch with the install? Do I need to delete a couple files? Rerun mkinitcpio? I can chroot back into it, just need to know what to do. Thanks.

I'm sorry, I meant to get back to you guys on this, but couldn't. Arch is up, baybe.
There wasn't really a problem, actually. You think kernel panic is a problem, and it is, but in this case it was something I caused before I even switched the motherboard and CPU.
I can't remember what it was because I had not been using arch for some time. I can say I do know I left it with a kernel panic, before, and just never bothered fixing it..and then...
...on top of that the image configuration file had specified modules for the old motherboard. So, I just updated with pacman, and set the configuration to default, re-ran mkinitcpio and voila. (Sorry, I nearly forgot to mention it was necessary to regenerate the xorg.conf) So you see, had I not been monkeying around with it so much before, it would have just worked. LOL.
But now that I have your attention, I'm wondering why the system seems noticeably less responsive than a much slower VIA motherboard that I had been using. The new one is a K8T800 with an Opteron 144 in dual channel with 1gb of RAM and a 6600GT 128-bit 128mb AGP card. It replaced an Nforce2. The more responsive system is an AMD 1700+ with 512mb of RAM in single-channel with a Dell OEM MX4000 64-bit video card using 64mb of RAM. It seems like the hesitation is DMA related, as the Hdd always reads while the application waits. Any thoughts at all, including why rain has to be so cold, are entirely welcome.
Additionally, glxgears gives FPS about half what it should be.

Installed Windows on Mac with Boot Camp and did something HORRIBLY WRONG

Please please PLEASE tell me someone can help me!!
I tried installing Windows XP Pro on my MacBook today, I tried following the instructions but none of the windows popped up like they showed in the instructions. When the Windows Setup (blue screen) popped up, I selected Partition 3: BOOTCAMP to install it on. Then everything installed fine, but I can NOT get out of Windows now at all. I've tried restarting it, logging off, turning it off and back on, and holding the option button and NOTHING is working. Nothing that was on my Mac is in the Windows, and I have no idea at all what to do.
Please, tell me someone can help me undo this!! Thank you so much!

THANK YOU SO MUCH
I put in disk 2 as a last resort and tried rebooting it again, AND IT WORKED!!!
I'm taking windows off right away, i am NOT risking that again!!
Or not mess with it at all, either way THANK YOU!!!

Can i take out the motherboard and CPU and replace it with a newer one?

I was wondering if i could take out the CPU and Motherboard of an early 2011 13" macbook pro with a 2.3GHz dual core i5, and replace it with a 2012 2.9GHz 13" dual core i7? I don't care about the costs but i just want to know if it's possible? I've upgraded my computer to the max so far, but i need some more processing power and i think the new ivy bridge processors will do me some good. Thanks for any replies

NOPE.
I'm about 99.9% sure it won't fit.
Plus the rest of the stuff won't plug or won't be compatible.

On Windows 7 64-bit, whenever I try to sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 I get a bunch of clicking sounds, and then "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
I installed the 2013 update 4 just recently (3/23)
I was getting this error back in February

Hi HuggyPaul,
Thank you for posting in MSND forum.
>>whenever I try to sign into Visual Studio Community 2013 I get a bunch of clicking sounds, and then "Something went wrong and we can't sign you in right now. Please try again later."
Based on your issue, I suggest you could try to use an another microsoft live-in user account to sign in the Visual Studio Community 2013 to check if you can sign in the VS2013 Community with update 4.
Or you could try to use same user account to sing same version of VS2013 Communty with Update 4 on other machien and the check if you can sign in this VS 2013 Community with update 4.
(1)If you could sign in the VS2013 Community update4 by the another user account on your machien, I think that the issue maybe related to your user account.
(2)If you still could not sign in VS 2013 Community update 4, maybe you will need to repair or re-install this VS2013 Community with update 4.
In addition, please tell me what browser you use on your machine.
If your machien just insatall other browser such as chrome, please try to install the IE and then check this issue again.
From this error message, i find a similar thread about your issue, maybe it can help you.

I have been using office home and student fine until now when it will not open, at first it would say it was unable to open with error message 40 now it is error message number 2, I have no idea how to open it.
help please?

Hi,
Is the complete error message "Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start. (40)" and “Sorry, something went wrong and Word was unable to start. (2)”?
I agree with Sunil Shrikant Vyasasamudra. First you can repair Office from Control Panel > Programs and Features, maybe Office installation is corrupt.
If it doesn’t work, you can try “Fix it” tool in the KB below.

If there is anything else I can do for you on this matter, don't hesitate to tell me.
