I just did a fresh install of XP on system with an ASUS M4N68T-M V2 motherboard. I'm trying to connect to the internet through the onboard ethernet port. I am trying to install chipset drivers from http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M4N68TM_LE_V2/HelpDesk_Download/

but I get this error message when I try to install the drivers:

"Failed to install one of the core components which may affect driver functionality. The most recent driver that worked will now be restored."

Any ideas?

You say you have a M4N68T-M V2 but you are downloading drivers for M4N68TM LE V2. Have you tried the drivers listed for your motherboard?

cpu fan with ~1000rpm does a much better job than a higher rpm? It had 1800rpm and 1200rpm before with BIOS (H/W Monitor) dismissal. Everything is cooler in my case. CPU isnt higher than 37°C (mostly 44°C) and GPU never over 52°C (mostly 62°C) at sc2 Lategame according HWinfo, plus my room is 28°C now. I can feel that the metal sheet of my case is very cold, wasnt before if I did play sc2.

Higher RPM = better cooling. How well heat is being removed from your CPU is not really related to what your case temperatures are* - that's more about case airflow and how much heat is going into the case from cpu/gpu

*temperature is not the same thing as heat output


Funnily enough, as you increase stress on sc2 engine (lategame, tons of units) the CPU can't handle as much FPS, so your FPS drops from say 200 to 50 and the graphics card has nothing to do most of the time now that it has no frames to render, so your overall system heat output drops massively

Extreme noob with computers here.

So I bought a new PC and only have an SSD as storage, no HDD (I built it myself).

So I installed Windows 8 on it. How do I make another partition? And what is the point of making another partition since I only have this SSD as storage? Isn't the point of making partitions for backing up data?

The point of partitions is to preserve your data in case you need to reinstall Windows. Partitions is not to backup data.. if your SSD dies, you lose access to both partitions.

Thanks for the reply.

So one partition (partition 1) has only Windows 8 and the other partition (partition 2) only has other files like games, movies, word documents, etc?

Is that how it works. And whenever I need to reinstall windows, it will only wipe out data on partition 1?

Yes, during re-installation of Windows you will be able to "lose" only the files that were on system partition - all data on other partitions will be fine.

That's only if you choose to reformat the drive. If you don't, it will move your Windows, Program Files, Program Files (x86), ProgramData, PerfLogs and User folders to Windows.old on the C drive.

Alright, thanks.

I've also got a question in regards to free anti-spyware/malware programs.

Which one is the best at the moment? I heard that Malwarebytes is the best and that Adaware is now crap. Is this true? So is Malwarebytes the best free anti-spyware/malware program?

Not really sure if it's "the best" but what I use in terms of keeping my PC clean:
- Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
- CCleaner
- antivirus (using NOD32, but it's not free - they're tons of good antiviruses. Check this reports, it may help you find the one for you: http://www.av-test.org/en/home/

I accidentally deleted all the partitions on an HDD where I was reinstalling windows (it had an old vista partition and a new W7 partition but I was going to format everything so that I could just reinstall W7: new gpu for this rig). But I somehow did it so that I can't use windows computer management to create another partition. Normally you get a part of the disk that has a black bar when you have unallocated space.

[image loading]

Now since you can't physically delete an HDD, I'm pretty sure that I didn't kill it. But I went and messed up something that's beyond formatting and deleting / managing partitions.

I'm currently using testdisk to try to fix things, so maybe I'll fix it through that? other suggestions?

E: lol fixed

i used testdisk as a program to wipe the drive really hard or something. there was a delete function that apparently does this by writing 0s everywhere. then you could use windows to create another partition.

heheh i fixed something.

according to your post, what do you suggest me? I didnt/dont find any difference by playing sc2, everything feels very smoothly except mass lings/banleings (in both cases). If there is no reason then I stay on 1000rpm because I can hear 1200rpm noise.

Do you see how to configure it so it's not a fixed speed, instead dynamic and ramping up with increased temperatures recorded by the sensor? If the BIOS settings for that are not good enough, there's likely a Windows program for that on the website for the motherboard in the support/download section.

You could try to set up a fan curve where speed ramps up towards 70 C or so, where everything about that part of the curve is still comfortable with regards to noise for you. You then let things flip out and get annoying towards 90 C.

something like this: + Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


Those 70 C and 90 C numbers I mentioned are for Intel CPUs and about what the sensors inside the cores record. The motherboard does not use those numbers. It has its own sensor somewhere under the CPU. You might want to see how the numbers compare to each other as the motherboard might see for example something like 65 C while the CPU cores are really at 85 C.

Do whatever you want if temperatures are cool, usually GPU makes far far more noise than a stock CPU

I changed at BIOS (H/W Monitor):
target fan speed: level 5/9 =1000rpm
target cpu temperature: (50°C/122°F)

In other words: If temperatur hits 50°C, then cpu-fan speed climbs from 5/9 to 9/9 (1800rpm). If it's not 50°C anymore, back to 5/9 speed.

Edit: Ok, thank you. It's a gforce gtx 460 OC 1GB.
