FSX and FPS in general
Alex Sarfati replied to Seme's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
Check out bojote's shaded 3.0 mod and his FSX.CDC tweaker. Links are in his signature. These can boost your performance a ton. -
You should try and maintain a similar test when overclocking. Since the 748 is using same cockpit/VC as the 744, I know that these are much less fps intense than CS products which like to eat frames with their eye candy. Pick one or the other, just so we can get a rough idea of how overclocking increments effect performance.

Goodmorning all,3 years ago, I met and worked along side the forum member chris493. He was a very good man, and a very close friend. I really don't know how else to inform those of you who knew him on here. I regret to inform you, that a few days ago, Chris was killed in a motorbike accident in Perth, Australia. I've spent the last few days supporting his family and fiancée via phone calls, and will fly out to Perth tomorrow evening for his funeral.I'd like us all to remember Chris for what he was to this community. He was the guy who introduced me to flight simming and the avsim forums. I want to thank him for it. I don't think I can say anymore, but please take a minute to remember him, whether you knew him or not. Thank you, and may all our prayers be with his family.Feel free to leave comments of support and friendship.

Case too small for graphics card, get a HAF X or similar full tower case to fit 580. PSU is pretty low standard. You don't want to skimp on this. Get something like a Corsair A series or HX 750+. If going Coolermaster, get the Silent Pro or Silent Pro Gold. A wireless card is only necessary if you can't connect via Ethernet. All motherboards have built in ethernet. Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit.

MOBO for I7 2600K
Alex Sarfati replied to Grzesio's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
Isn't 7 monitors a touch overkill? However, do what Gary said. Go to newegg and look at all the boards. Pick one that supports 3-way SLi. Just a tip that SLI does absolutely nothing for FSX without very extensive tweaking. -
Help with ram

Help with ram
Alex Sarfati replied to 738's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
On the board, there will be 4 DIMM slots, 2 of one colour, and 2 of another. To run in dual channel, your 2GB sticks should go in the same coloured slot. So if 4GB, only one colour should be taken. You need to set the speed via the bios. Make sure your system is stable at 1333MHz RAM, then OC your CPU to whatever you want, and make sure it's fully stable. Then change the RAM voltage to 1.5V, and boot at 1333MHz. All should go well and it should boot into windows. Then go to bios and change the RAM speed to 1600MHz. Boot and make sure it runs well at 1600MHz. Where it asks for ram timings in the bios, enter the. Timings shown on the sticker on the ram.Keep testing and booting to make sure the ram is working. If it doesn't boot at 1600Mhz, increase the ram voltage a small amount. Keep doing this (increase voltage, then boot) until your ram runs at 1600MHz with the correct timings, and boots into windows. I would recommend you don't exceed a voltage of 1.6V. -
My New System ?
Alex Sarfati replied to whitetimer's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
Hi,This system will run it, but not at decent settings. I would doubt it could handle complex addons, and traffic will probably make it struggle a bit. However on medium settings, it should run alright. -
New build done
Alex Sarfati replied to 738's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
Install FSX and everything before overclocking. -
Mustang + SB
Alex Sarfati replied to ryanbatc's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
I run Captain Sim addons at fairly good performance with max settings. Really good performance with PMDG AC. Don't have the F1 Mustang personally, but CS is pretty hard on frames. See sig. for other addons. -
780i W/ Intel SSD
Alex Sarfati replied to ZachLW's topic in System Hardware: PC | MOBO | RAM | CPU | HDD | SSD | PSU etc
If youre on Win 7, just leave it alone and dont worry about it, as many have said already, 7 has inbuilt TRIM support. It's doing its job silently in the background.
