This time around i'd like to make my own machine. but i'm having a real problem deciding on what ram to get, as it's quite confusing - so far this is the setup: Motherboard - gigabyte Ga-8KNXP (not ultra) Harddrive - Western Digital 250gb Video - ATI Radeon 9800 pro 128mb version Case - Xaser III...

The system temperature on my computer is always higher than the CPU temperature. For example, the current CPU temp is 41.1C, while the system temp is 47C. The relative difference remains constant even under load. From a thermodynamic standpoint, is that even possible? I asked GB tech support if...

Hi, I got Duron 700 on Gigabyte nForce2 GA-7N400 mobo (I know, $h1tty cpu on good mobo - I'll buy a new one when I have some cash). I got myself a better cooling and I want to overclock D700 to 1GHz, because AFAIK now it runs in asynchronous mode with system bus 100, and memory at 200 (got...

I had a nicely running system with my gigabyte motherboard and a single ide drive. I re-allocated my ide drive to another system and purchased 2 IBM Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 250GB Serial ATA drives. I configured them as a single raid 0 drive: Configs fine. I installed windows xp media edition on...

I have revision 2.1 of this motherboard, everything seems ok and working....yet on a cold boot up i get BIOS beeps. The manual is no real help but i get alot of beeps that are not consistent with what the manual states. I have tried adjust voltage and memory timings to see if it's a RAM issue, but...

Hi everyone I'm a student looking to get hold of some budget mods for my computer to make the thing run a bit quieter!! I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for cheap but quiet PSU's and CPU coolers (fan and heatsink), and whether I can get hold of them in the UK! I don't...

First, congratulations to Russel Sullivan, Taliska & others in this Newsgroup for their detailed hints on how to work the thing out. However, I've been through all the posts, and I am still missing something to make it work! Recap of the problem: Got me the GA-8KNXP Motherboard, Rev 1.0, BIOS...

I have a GA8-KNXP and wanted to install windows xp on a RAID 0 array (2 WD800JB drives connected to IDE3 and IDE4). The windows setup works well until it asks for the partition where it should be installed to. I select the RAID 0 volume and in the next step, when the setup wants to format that...

Hi I've just replaced my GA V7AXP after a component blew. I now have... GA 7VN400 pro2 AthlonXP 2800+ 2* Kingmax DDR400 256 sticks running on the dual channel DDR mode Asus V7700 Ti Deluxe AGP 4X 40GB IBM C:\ 160GB Samsung Spinpoint Pioneer DVD ROM

Had this GB 8IRXP since the 'reboot' problems and so far I'm okay with 'shutting down' instead of 'restarting'. It is a bit long in the tooth but I cannot afford to replace it yet. I've got a 1.6 OCed to 2.4 (FSB at 150) but the DDR is 2100 (good stuff from Mushkin) and won't do the full 150......

i just got a soundblaster audigy 2 zs. i installed the hardware and it isn't being recognized. the instructions are useless - these are the steps i've done so far (none has worked, nothing see's the card, not even the driver software): unplugged the surround kit removed the pin blocks turned off...

The RAID1 disk is also the boot disk. There are also 2 x 120GB Maxtor SATA Disks in RAID0 manged by the onboard IntelRAID. The...

Mobo: GA-8KNXP non-Ultra v1 Last week I posted here asking about the best method for replacing my Maxtor PATA C: drive with a SATA by cloning from Norton Ghost 2003. I downloaded the ICH5R driver v3.5.2.2654 from the Gigabyte site and ran it, getting the following error message: Incompatible...

Greetings, I'm interested in putting together a system based on the 8KNXP. I do a lot of large image processing, so I want to put the full 4GB of memory it in, but so far the posts I have seen indicate nobody has gone over 2GB. So... has anyone put 4GB on this board and gotten it work work...

After loosing, one more time, a lot of data with a disk failure, I just buy two new Seagate no Sata disk and would like to put them in Raid 1 on my 8KNXP rev 1 under WinXP. I need some good advices about what Raid to choose, GigaRaid or Promise one, what drivers ? I read the two User's Guide and...
