perplexing performance issues.....
« Reply #15 on: April 24, 2006, 12:37:16 PM »
I'm curious as well wht that "remote" sensor is monitoring....the CPU shows at 43/44 with no real increase under load....the remote is in the 58 range at idle and goes to 70+....

58 is way to hot for a CPU at idle....could it be temp on the southbrige chipset?

BTW this is the spec sheet for the MB

A8AE-LE

There is a passive heatsink for the ATI RS482 CS....i'm guessing thats whre the remote sensor is. The heatsink on the CPU looks to be pretty good....

totally unrelated to the topic on hand, but you don't have your moniters INF files installed (where it says "plug and play moniter" it should say "phillips 107s" or whatever model moniter yours is). i forgot where i heard about it, but having the proper moniter drives does something good.

Identifies my LCD as a Sceptre X9 (which is correct) in device manager...but shows as a P&P in the diagnostics above...

Been doing a bit of amature diagnostics....I unloaded mt saitek software and unplugged my peddle and JS...if I load AH I get the couple of normal spikes and then stuff flattens out pretty well....now if I use the numbad to alter view I get an immediate spike that settles when I release view back to default???

the video card works great with no studders or problems and benchmarks fine??? But I repaeted this enough times to know its not a fluke....will reload JS and see if I get same thing looking around...

Same result, the spiking seems to be related to the "views"....guess I'll experiment with different drivers...any known conflicts between the onboard ATI graphics and the Nvidia cards???

 Current Mode: 1280 x 1024 (32 bit) (60Hz)   <--- 60hz sux bigtime

I cant play unless i see 72hz or better

so there isn't that "flicker" from a CRT @ 60hz


EDIT> dumb question... is your keyboard a USB? is it directly into the back of the PC or into an external USB hub? i was running my JS into a hub, and the game was unplayable, as the input was not at the same time as i moved the stick... something to do with the hub. also, is it a wireless keyboard? what happens with a normal keyboard pressing a view key?

I deleted AH using the add/delete program feature in control panel and when I reload AH it restores my settings...so it comes up with old settings and passwords etc....
