Ok, i'll go rebuild the computer and lower the clocks a bit. I'll probably go for 3.2/940mhz (ram)/stock settings w/ the videocard. Sorry if it seemed i just jmped at anything, I was just surprised because right when I started the new powersupply, all (almost) my settings that i have been running for the past couple of months failed, so maybe it was just a coincidence. Thanks for all the help ill go try that right now.

Hello, I got myself an xfx 9800gtx about 3 months ago. I got a new ps yesterday (antec neopower 650w), right after I installed it the problems started dun dun dun.... ok ok so I start the computer, once it gets to the bios suddenly it starts complaining about the o'c ive been using for the past 4-6 weeks has failed. So I downclock it and it starts fine, I just guessed that my pc needed to get used to the psu and afterawhile i would be able to oc it back to regular speeds again. So everything worked fine for a while (1-2 hours playing lfs) suddenly everything started freaking out (tones of honeycomb-like artifacting) so I start freaking out (lol) I restart my pc and everything seems fine..... untill I start lfs to see that its artifacting, not as bad as the previous one, but theres still some artifacting. So I decide to downclock the videocard and it seems to work, games still like to freeze more often (1-2 freezes every 10-20 mins which makes me have to minimize and open out) THEN nvlddmkm starts acting up more then usual and game me bsod (bsod told me the cause was nvkddmkm.sys) Which im not sure is my fault or the cards f-f-fault.So I decided to reinstall my old psu (cooler master 500w which i've used for the past year and a half) and rma for a refund the antec psu. Even with the old powersupply my gpu is still being retarded, and today my gpu told me i couldnt change my fan speed, in evga precision its not letting me adjust the fans anymore, which it was letting me adjust the day before. I'm thinking i just fried my gpu with a defective psu "oh great!" so now i'm switching to ATi to try out their line of cards (a sapphire hd4870 512).
I need your comments cause I still want to figure out what happened to the card, (did I fry it?/driver (180.48) error?/format (rofl)/). It runs just fine when I dont play any games and idles at 45*c (it used to Idle at 35*c before the fan stopped listening to me).

Setup
Intel E7200 (dual core) 2.53 @ 3.61
Mushikin 4x1gb @ 960mhz
Asus P5KC
XFX 9800GTX+ @ 800/2000/1130

well ill have a bit of help from my sister's boyfriend whos been building pc's for around 8 or 9 years now. (he's 24) but yeah i guess its a bit to late to un-modify the pc but i guess if it breaks its my fault. but yeah its fine with me, ill just save up for some more parts.

when i bought the psu it already came with the fan stuck to the bottom (i didnt modify it) .
its an HP pavillon a6330f. (i just turned 13 and just starting to get into modifying pc's im thinking of building my own sooner or later). but yeah im not really sure where to fit the fan if i get a new one.

Quote from anik360 :

is that ram out of the mobo WOW. And no exhaust fan? come on. That psu fan only lets out the psu's heat. Add an exhaust fan. the heat gets circulated inside. Getting them out is a GOOD thing

no theres a fan attached to the bottom of the psu. that sucks air into the psu and out the back. so it does both *i think*
(btw whats ram outta the mobo?) its 3gb

I cleaned the fans yesterday. Im just downloading some big thing. once im done ill go grab a real pic and lay arrows for the airflow over it in a few mins (once its done).

100% haha (using the EVGA precision tool) not overclocked at all (well its factory overclocked) the pc's almost completely stock (didn't build it) except for a new psu (500w old one was 300) and the card.

Uhh hi again umm I have a question about my gfx card and heat. Usually my card runs 46-60*C (54 right now just cause its a hot day) not under load. Ive tried it with RD:Grid and it got around 69-75. Is that regular or is that a bit too hot, if it is would you suggest i add a fan to keep it cool?

the cards a GeForce 9600GT (eVGA)

hey kstorm, its me akio (pcl). Uhh I got a little set of lights (fit 1024) which were NOT made by me -i dont take credit-. here you can resize them but they loose quality.

ok.... Wow! You Guys Don't Appreciate. He Took The Time To Make It And You Guys Come And Flame Him For "unrealism" By The Way, Sure Its A Hack But It Don't Change The Performance Of The Car. Only Changes The Display Of The Speed. And, Most New Cars [mostly Hondas] Have Digital Speedometers And Some Even Have Digital Rpm Meters. So Before You Flame About "unrealism" Look At The Honda Civic Si. No One Appreciates The Time Put Into To Make This Program And Its A Nice Program Although I Won't Use It As Its A Big Distraction. I Will Use It For Car Testing Purposes Though. Thats For This Program, Gru.

Edit: I Would Love To See You Guys Flaming Him Do Better And Make A "realistic" Program.

+1

Welll, I was just going aound some servers, untill this guy started talking about how he had the nos mod or something ehh... just watch the replay.

Wow.... I just tried watching the replay, and it doesnt work. : / maybe it has something to do with Y18? Just delete the thread, sorry.

lmfao.................i also see xfg setups
+1 for changin the name of the topic
the guy meant only not nly

wow, that was stupid.. I guess he meant tires

rofl, nice wheels (sorry I forgot your name) but yeah nice wheels... really good [notbeingsarcastic]. Can you make a 77' Toyota Crown wheel?

i just push left on my mouse's scroll button to change tracks, but I might find a good use for this someday, nice mod.

Heres one, messing around in patch v

Whenever I try running it, it says password does not match you multiplayer admin password.

[edit] I got it to run by removing all my multiplayer passwords and my create host passwords. Weird this always (to be tested) happens to me when I try running an insim program. :l

+100! The dev's should really make something like this in the upcoming patches.

Quote from evilgenius :

Ive got these 2pics, they look nice, but im guessing, they could look better =] anyone ?

I just edited the first one.

Hmm the greenish blue car is wierd, right when he flies over it it dissapears and appears again when he lands

Heres some edits, Sigh It took so long aa-ing the jagged lines cause of my crappy graphics card.

How do I do that, the only reason I can think of is that I moved the folder lfs was in yesterday.
(edit) I think the config file is cfg so I checked it it said Version 0.5Y so yeah, im not sure if thats it.

First of all sorry for the double post.
Ok heres what happened, i was being blind thinking y looked like v, it was just me thinking i have done something very stupid, thank you to all of you who tried helping me. And a mod or so pls delete/lock this post, thanks. (I'm probably going blind)

Ok well this is really wierd, whenever I start lfs, everything runs fine but when I look at the first menu (the main one) it says LFS 0.V (or something) But it says lfs 2002 - 2007 beside it. When I load the servers only a couple come up 4-10 and beside they're names says V. But the clutch heating, FBM, graphic updates work in it and the icon is still the new one.
(oh also could you tell me where I can get the lfs Y patch (so I dont have to download the whole thing again) Thanks!
