@cobra03 - do u have contact details for msi in the uk? I need a few things off them

 

As it's a 5.1 , i think you will need to invest in an external sound card to power the whole thing as it's supposed to be .. did it worked before ? ET and his beer belly is playing tricks on you

@ratykat , the last time I contacted MSI they told me they don't supply spare parts.

 

Okay, help me out plz

The CCC does not show Overdrive, even under the advance view. Ati Tool and MSI afterbunrer do not work. Any other OC programs?

 

Are you plugged in and High performance ? did you mod the driver with UAC crap off ? there's rivatuner and powerstrip(i think) , though i haven't used none of them

 

Yes, Yes, Yes! What happens is when I try to increase the clocks and click "Apply", the clocks revert to default. Very annoying.

Was there not a way to oc through the registry?

 

This should oc for you, good program

Let me know if it works for you.

 

Well I got msi afterburner to work, just had to do this simple fix:

edit: what's the difference between nvidia's AA and ati's AA? I notice that on some tittles/games that are "made" for nvidia, enabling aa with the ati 4850 kills performance. It's not really an issue though because AA is moot with 1920x1200.

 

Did you use mobility modder for CCC?

 

Depends on the res with AA, the advent still tugs along any game with Nvidia written on the top and AA maxed

Modern warfare 2 even worked at 1080p with 4x AA without completely diying, and cant forget the steam games, they worked maxed at 1080p alot of the time too.

 

Kool !! What's your highest clock ?


EDIT : Tomorrow i will re paste the 725 and see what's the Q9200 is all about .. hopefully i won't be disappointed

 

I didnt think they even made a q9200.. or is it an engineering sample?

 

Yeah it's an ES , the selling price is pretty sweet I don't think they will release it coz it's been around for a while and you can't even get any Official info on it

 

Doesn't it also have unlocked multipliers? I think one of them along with extreme series did.

So XTU could potentially work too..

Guys, has anyone else ran DPC latency tool on their machine? Im just curious to what people get, if anyones up for it?

 

Yes it does (will be confirmed tomorrow) , It does appear as an extreme cpu even though it's not and hopefully XTU will work on the msi , won't hold my breath on that as i doubt it will .....


out of context , the iphone connection is faster than my Mobile broadband


EDIT : was there any drop outs when running that thing ?

 

Haha yeah, i've seen an omnia connection run better then my broadband lmao!

MSI seem to be quite flexible when it comes to all of this fancy stuff

*IT BETTER WORK!* lmao

 

Yeah it better ! my target is 3ghz stable

 

Easy man, i know the qx9300 FSB pushed yawned 3ghz in the MSI.

 

I think it's feasible as it's basically the same chip with lower clocks and .. even 2.9 would be sweet

 

sorry to say, but the xtu will not work cause of the msi bios.

 

Yeah wasn't expecting much regarding the XTU . wished the turbo worked on quads ......

 

it does.... what, your not happy wiht 4% oc

 

! 4% is an insult

 

thats why we have tools like set fsb

 

Free Left 4 Dead (de-make) http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/pixelforceleft4dead/full-game/34405.html
enjoy

 

Thats why I moved to a desktop, Better OC capabilities, More power overall. Set FSB works well on the 1722 and the GT725.

 

Agreed, but desktops are too easy . Here we like a challenge lol

 

Here you go:

 

>.> looks like a alien humping some guys leg.

 

don't know where you get the "leg" from. It's a tyranid (from Warhammer 40k) in a snowy forest environment. If you can't figure it out, the thing that extends form the arms is a biological gun.

 

! better hump a dead leg than another alien

Now i want a touchpad protector , but with something more macabre

 

It doesn't fit... And personally I think the snake looked better.

And ATI has no mobility HD5***: http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/Pages/notebook-graphics.aspx



EDIT: Thats not a 1722 chasis is it?

 

I thought the space above and below was intentional. The spaces are even so it still looks very nice. I'm a dow fan, so I liked the tyranid more then the snake. It was well worth it, thanks for it ^^ (incase anybody didn't know, lamb made them).

It's a gt628 (the 15" version of the 1722).

 

Lol the touchpad protector fits a GT725 exactly, but if you like it still, then, ok.

Is the snake on a laptop of yours?

 

ati 4850 at 550/1000



going to try to push it further ^^


--------------------------------------------------------------

edit: 560/1000



how far can i go

 

Wow don't let cat see that. He was very proud of his 6801! And rightfully so, its a great score.

But that? That just ain't playin' fair! :0

 

Cthulhu asks, how macabre?

Although not macabre, I was thinkinking of this one for mine

 

im too lazy to look but who is selling touch pad protectors, and can you make them with any image?

 

Very macabre I like that skull ! pretty kool , use it



Apparently i've overclocked it to "2.66" (11%) and that's according to Everest .. In cpuz it's @ 2394.0 .. which CPU crap is reading it correctly ?

 

The default q9200 is 2.4, which is what cpuz is showing. I bet Everest doesn't detect the q9200 correctly.

 

setfsb doesn't seems to be working .... whenever I clicked on set nothing happens . Anyway how do I checked if it's actually OC'd ? setfsb virgin here

 

It's because of the bios/firmware your using. Any MSI bios with the turbo feature will not let setfsb function. You will need to flash to a bios from the white barebone version, like 1.0S. Cata made a OC thread with all the dirty details.

 

That suck .. alright I'll revert to .S and give it a shot. results coming soon and hopefully a good one

By the way nice scores ! will you try to go higher ?

 

Yes I'm still trying to find the mac oc and i am hoping the rumored 10.1 driver will bring increase performance.

 

Screw this ! still doesn't work with the ice age bios and firmware !

 

lol, what happened? Did it crash or it did nothing?

 

Nope ! I wish it crashed tbh ! setfsb keeps looking at me like an idiot everytime i press set ... Everest still says 11% oc'd .. and cpuz the same crappy stock clock ...


GOD BLESS the Turbo button !! missing it already

 

That's because of the IDA, or the "dual-core" mode. Intel has this stupid feature that when all fours are not used, then the quad will disable two cores and increase the multiplier. You see, the q9200 normally has a multiplier of "9", but when IDA takes effect, it increases to "10". I had similar problems with the qx9300. However, cpuz should show this as well.

 

Wow, them vantage run scores are crazy, i think mine would trip out at them clocks (i think they tripped out at 560/950) last time i checked lol

Did you flash clock the 4850?

 

No, but I'm thinking about it.

 

Oh well i'll leave it as it is then ... if in couple of days it doesn't deliver then sayonara to it and hello X9100
