*OFFICIAL* "All Powerful" M15x Owners Lounge - Part 4

Nero startsmart / express

 

and so while we're on the topic of video encoding and dvd burning... i have a few questions/opinions on things i was wondering...

Back in the day, i remember everyone always saying to burn dvds at a slow speed like 2x, or 4x,... because higher speeds weren't reliable n wtv... but this was like 3-4 years ago (haven't been ripping dvds since...but im back at it again).. is this still the case? or can modern day dvd-burners brun at max speed without screwing up?

Another thing was ...while encoding/burning... you were always advised not to use the computer either...as it raises the chances of it skipping a beat n screwing things up...

what i was wondering was...is this all a thing of the past? and was it due to the poor cpu power back in the day? or does this still apply, even to the M15x? I noticed cpu load is only at like 40-50% while encoding.. and that was only on 1 core.... so doe sthat mean i shold have no problem downloading/listening to music/surfing the net ..without having to worry about screwing things up??

any feedback would be great...thanks!

 

Hey J, inapp... what settings do you guys use for power management mode in nvidia control panel (adaptive, performance)... There is too much powermizer kicking in (new drivers)

 

Damn Inap had the same prob... so tell us bro..what did u do? Oh yea took out the onboard battery huh? to do a TRUE reset..was that right?

thats what i used...worked great

 

Yep.. they can burn at max speeds without screwen up....

About running multiple applications it depends if like you are stressing the cpu or the hard drive it might result in few errors in the video..

 

Weird, when I select boot from CD/dvd/BRRom, it simply boots normally.. ?!

 

nero should work, just drag the file to your cd drive and press the nero button that shows up.

 

hmm didnt get a chance to check them out yet... im at work now.. so i cant really check... but i did notice... that while OC'ing on the new drivers... with 700/1100/1700, while testing for stability with furmark... it would throttle back to stock clocks when temps reached about 79-80 degrees ( furmark get sthe card friggin hot.. ( by the way 4get what i said abotu using ati-tool... its full of crap...its wayy too outdated an dreports false artifacts...it used to be amazing though.. shame they havent updated it...)

I didnt try forcing constant 3d clocks using rivatuner though...that might fix it... ( i had uninstalled rivatuner)

 

Changed the power management settings to performance .. the gpu is always on 3d clocks for now...

 

yeah everyone here!!!! i personally use performance, and yeah i just noticed that powerimized is kicking in way to much.

 

Use nero express and select Burn disc image and burn it on a cd.... It shud work...

 

The idle temps are down by 10-12 degrees just as a result of the powermizer....

 

^^^ yes this for nero

 

J, inap which sound drivers are you guys using the default ones or the IDT ones...

 

wow sorry for all the typing errors guys i was speedtyping... its dead calm here while im doing nothing... and when i actually want to do something ( like write on these forums) it gets busy again! lol so im trying to juggle both.. lol

 

This thread is getting like lightnin' fast replies... NICE....

 

IDT... works like a charm... and all 3 jacks show up now

 

using idt right now

 

LOL i know i gotta keep hitting that refresh button

 

K.. had windows default drivers.. seems like you get more bass with them..

Just installing the IDT drivers,,,

 

Can't even click the refresh button that fast... LOLZ!!!

 

for reals thing has pick up fast for this thread, lol.

 

Installed IDT but dont have 3 jacks ... STrange...

 

gett outttt


Hmmm.. try restarting

 

Still nothing, my system seems to be unable to boot from a CD/DVD

 

Restarted already...... There was one guy who just recommended a strange way to install the drivers to get 3 jacks...

 

hmmmm, just noticed i only have c-sub showing up. last time i check i had all 3.

 

LOLZ!!!!!!

 

With me, you , whitewiz and soccerthierry.... we own this thread...loll

 

anyone still have the link for the multi touch synaptics driver?

 

hey j did that nero key work for you?

 

hmm i hope when i get home.. my jacks dont disappear too!! lol .. well be4 the bios update i only had 1... but everyhting worked as it should've...

 

halp please

 

worked out perfect! thanks!

 

did you try doing a true Bios Reset by taking out the coin size battery on the mobo? inap isn't that what you did and it fixed it?

EDIT: shud work now..

 

can you boot from your windows cd... if you can't then do as J says .. hes a pro..

but if you can then there is something wrong with the cd....

 

yeah i had that problem but i resetted my bios and you did that already. i think your doing something wrong when burning the image.

 

thanks!!! what language is that, oh well

 

Yup, just did a bios reset and all, I dont see how I could have f...ed things up in burning the CD

 

its a disk image so nero has to rip it or otherwise the system can't boot form it.

 

Thats french >.>

How can I use nero to rip a .iso file?

 

hmm ok sorry didnt know u tried that alrdy...my bad...

but yea when i loaded the iso to nero, it automatically closed the window i was in, and a new one popped up... it knew automatically what kind of cd to burn... but yea it has to be a bootable cd or it wont work...

EDIT: you don't need to rip it manually dont worry.. when you choose bootable cd it does it by itself...

2nd Edit: Hey you live in mtl right? ill just swing by and give you my cd LOLL.

 

don't unzipp it just just nero to open the zipped file

wow there is nothing we can't solve with this much man power,lol

 

what dpc latency is good.. because mine is maxs at 550... is it alright

 

^^^yeah that very good for dpc

dang this french stuff don't even know where to press to download, hahah

 

Thanks Js! I'm trying MagicIso atm, cant wait to get outside >.>

Aight this is gonna work, brb on A05

 

if it doesn't work just right click on your download file, remember don't unzipp it. just right click and select open with nero. ok have to go do some work too. good luck bro.

 

Great, gotcha, now running on A05, will mess with it later, for now I got this book to read for my french class

 

Anyone have a good program to copy DVD's onto another blank dvd? I need one that doesn't take up a lot of space since my download speed is slow.
