Willing and Able to OC lots of stuff
hey guys
as you can see from my sig i have a few tidbits of which im yet to tweak
most notable my new addition to my computer thats not written there yet - the BFG 6800GT Oc
now i also have 1gig of ram nowadays by the wya
now
a) overclockign the BFG (is it worth it, what will it achieve, are all pipelines avaiable etc?)
b) overlcocking memory - is there a point?
c) got the 2 hds in RAID-0 is there anyhting more i can tweak
d) general other tweaks i should do?
anyadvice would be awesoem, but dont say tweak this = please say what "this" is and does and if possible how to
thanks alot
catch
a) overclockign the BFG (is it worth it, what will it achieve, are all pipelines avaiable etc?)
BFG 6800GT can be clocked to over Ultra spec speed just by using the stock HSF.
http://www.mvktech.net has a lot of different BIOSes / tools availiable to be downloaded. Although I don't own BFG 6800GT, but I was able to clock my XFX 6800GT using stock HSF to 410/1110. You can replace the stock HSF with NV5 to achive much higher core/memory speed. Again, miles may vary.
b) overlcocking memory - is there a point?
Yes, there is a point. It really depends on what type of memory you are getting. When you OC memory, you will need to supply more voltage to the memory. You can search in this forum for more about different types of memory / different voltage requires.
There are 2 ways to increase the memory voltage over what limited BIOS setting can supply.
1) Memory voltage mod: Require soldering on the motherboard
2) OCZ DDR Booster: No soldering is required
c) got the 2 hds in RAID-0 is there anyhting more i can tweak
Yes, the striped block size. It depends on how many small/large files you access/work on day-to-day. Some people get benefits with smaller striped size, some benefits with larger striped size. You can start off with 16K striped size and work all the way up to 256K. However, keep this in mind, once you have set the striped size, if you want to change it, you will have to break the raid set, rebuild raid 0, format the HDD and reinstall OS. There is no easy way out to skip all these processes.
d) general other tweaks i should do?

My Macbook won't turn on and I have a lot of stuff id like to keep
Macbook won't turn on need information
If the green light flickers on your charger should you leave it plugged in or is that an indicator that the macbook is still not ready to turn on? Do I leave the charger in after I attempt to drain the battery? This has happened to me and I've left it unplugged for 2 days with no response when I try to turn it on.

I bought an airport express after being assured that I will be able to AirPrint from my IPad. I have set up airport utility on my Hp laptop and configured it properly with the express. But still I'm not able to detect the printer attached to the USB port of airport express, neither on my laptop nor on my IPad. Can someone tell me if and how it can be done?
Who assured you that an AirPort Express would allow you to use AirPrint from an iPad. They were incorrect.
AirPrint from iPads and other iOS devices is only supported on a select few wireless network printers that expressly advertise that feature. An AirPort Express will not add that feature to a printer that does not support AirPrint. Also, for printers that do support AirPrint a wireless access point is not required since the printer needs to support wireless networks connections internally.
The HP laptop should however be able to print to the printer connected to the AirPort Express. Try also installing the Bonjour Print Services for Windows. It will make printer discovery a lot easier when using Bonjour enable devices like an AirPort Express. -
Hi, I have a question about iCloud. I have an ipod 4th generation and im getting a 5th generation. i have lots of games such as subway surfers and temple run 2. I worked and played really hard on earning stuff and have also made in app purchases. Does iCloud save that kind of stuff?
See:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
However, not all in-app purchases will transfer to another device. For which ones ill not see:

For a while now my computer has been saying " Start up disk is nearly full", however I don't have a lot of stuff saved on the computer I moved a lot to a flash drive, and all the other stuff are songs and recently saved essays for school. I have and frequently empty my trash can. I have researched this before and i see a lot of things that say get a external hard drive, but before I go and purchase one I want to make sure there is no other, simpler way, to solve this problem. Help Please.
You need an external drive so you can free up disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

I have an Iphone 4s 16 gig and i have a lot of photos if i bought more icloud space would i be able to store more pictures
No, icloud can't be used as a storage location. You should always sync photos to a computer (via itunes or photo stream - but that wouldn't help you now, since only new photos are synced via photo stream to other devices and computers).
Note: an icloud backup does include photos in the camera roll, but if you later erase photos on the iphone to save space, those photos will no longer be available in the backup (assuming you continue backing up).
The bottom line is to always sync photos to a computer for archiving. It's the safest way. Many users have been burned using icloud backups, discovering that when restoring, they lost all their pictures. -
Hi. I am just about to move from the UK to Kuwait. Will I have any problems using my iPhone 4 and able to join a local carrier using this device please?
If your phone is locked to a particular carrier, you must contact them to request they unlock it. Once they've taken care of that and you've followed the instructions to complete the unlock process, you will be able to use the phone elsewhere.

How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now and I only purchased my new iMac in December 2012
Thanks....Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords. Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up. That will give you the ID no. and password.

I am trying to figure out if I give her her own apple id does that mean we have to purchase the same songs in itunes so that she can have access to them? I mean, it seems silly since if I buy the songs, I should be able to share with my family. It is for everyones use but if I give her her own apple ID so she can buy her own music with her own password then that whole sharing thing is off? I don't want to give her full access to my account password... She is only 11. I don't want her to go on a shopping spree LOL! So how can I give her the freedom to download free apps etc but yet share the purchased items I have already? Will this icloud help with that. Can I share my music with someone else with a different apple ID? Help. Extremely confused. Thanks.
You can create a new account without giving credit card details by following the instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
And she can then use that account for free items. If she redownloads an item on her iPad (and similarly on your Mac) from an account (either your existing account or a new one) then she may tie the iPad to that account for 90 days (so she won't be able to redownload items from the other account until those 90 days have completed) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
Also all content is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only your account will be able to download updates to the apps that were bought/downloaded by your account.
The apps will only automatically download on your phone if you have automatic downloads turned on in Settings > iTunes & App Store on it. -
I would like to know if after subscribing to ITunes Match I will be able to delete my library from my PC and, by these means, liberating the disk space currently used by my music
Your purchased music is availble for download again at no cost. If you have iTunes match service, you can download your matched music.

My iPhone 5 was stolen from me in a train station, the phones battery was dead, the iphone hasnt bee turned on yet, everytime I call it it rings once and goes to voicemail which tells me that it is still dead, nobody has charged it nor turned it on yet, the find my iphone app says its offline, and the sprint service representatives have told me that the phone has not been used yet. I dont want to disconnect my phones service just yet, becasue even if the thief restores my phone, and wipes out all of my information they cannot and will not be able to use it as if its theres because my carrier would still be connected on it. My hopes is that the thief will attempt to use the phone to make a call or to receive a call from my phone and then I will be able to find them tracing their calls. I did this once from my a blackberry that was taken from me and I found it... My question is can they erase all the information from my phone to the point of using it although i have not disconnected it from sprint????

Yes.
Unless you are certain that it was stolen, don't overlook the fact it may have been turned in to a lost and found. -

You can probably be absolutely sure any other source will be carrier locked
It also appears that only Zain offer unlocking (of all the ME carriers ) in Jordan and Bahrain

I download an app. But doesn't show up on my homepage. I go to download it again from the cloud and all I get is a message saying "you already download this application so you will be able to redownload the app free of charge" I press ok. Still don't have it
What is the app? What "homepage" do you mean?

why can't I sign into my account and add a rescue email so I will be able to redo my security questions? I have been unable to buy anything from Itunes because it's asks me for security questions that I don't remember what I put in the first place
1. Because if you could, someone who breaks into your account could do it as well.
2. You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
