Hi guys
Me and my friend both recently upgraded.
We both basically bought everything new except a hard drive. And we both formatted recently.
Noting overclocked.
Both running Vista
The specs:
Q6600
4 gig DDR2 800
9800 GTX
550W PSU
GIGABYTE S Series P35+ICH9R
Have 4 hard drives
160,320,400,500 ( Vista installed on the 160 )
The thing is my friend bought exactly the same except the hd's and the graphics card
Friends specs:
Q6600
4 gig DDR2 800
7800 GTX
550W PSU
GIGABYTE S Series P35+ICH9R
Have 3 hard drives
320,400,500 ( Vista installed on the 320 )
The main differences is he has 7800 GTX and i have 9800 GTX.
Obviously mine is supposed to preform mush better.
But it doesn't.
Vista test
Mine
Friends
I compared my bios to his and the only difference was that my "CPU Clock Ratio" is set to 6 where his is set to 9.
6 = 1.6 GHz
9 = 2.4 GHz ( what it should be )
If i try to change it and save and quit it just changes itself back to 6.
( We have exact same bios version )
C1E is disabled still changes back.
Must i take the CPU and motherboard in or is there some way to fix this myself ?
thanks
