Acer TimelineX 3830/4830/5830 T/G

Yes, the 301.24 is crashy. Avoid.

I should note that it's the .42, the WHQL which has been giving me problems. Rolling back to 296.xx now, hope it fixes it.

hi guys, just asking, because i might get a 3830TG replacement for my 3820T.. is 3830TG able to run diablo 3 without any problems?

Yes, you'll just have to reduce the CPU speed to 1.5-1.8 GHz with Throttlestop to avoid throttling.

I have an 4830tg. A similar model but a little bigger. I have an i7 and the temps can go up to 100 C and still not downclock. The catch i to get an i7 or an i5 cpu. Those 2 cna operate without problem up to 100 C for longer time, while the i3 will downclock when it gets at 75.

^You mean 85C, not 75C. I have the i3 model.

How did you guys manage to get your USB3.0 port to work? I've installed the chipset driver, USB3.0 driver, and USB2.0 driver and I'm still getting the same speeds from my USB3.0 port as my USB2.0 port, with a USB3.0 drive and USB3.0 cable plugged into the USB3.0 port.

well, i obtained ~22MB/sec on usb2.0 and ~55Mb/sec on usb3.0, using an WD Passport Essential, 500GB, USB 3.0. you?

50MB/s from both the USB2.0 and 3.0 ports, with a USB3.0 drive and USB3.0 cable. I've installed all the relevant drivers so I'm not sure what's going on.

Speed depends first on device, then on port.
Maybe your hdd just can't go higher.

well, basically you can't obtain 50MB/sec from USB2.0... its maximum theoretical speed is 60MB/sec and it's shared between all devices; from experience, sustained speed (even on SSD-based USB2.0 devices) varies around 30MB/sec, and for large files it will drop to an average of 22-25MBps (all tests mentioned here are about writing speed; reading speed is 25%-35% bigger)

I'm not using the built in Windows copy dialogue to measure the speed, since it can be wildly inaccurate. I'm using teracopy to measure the speeds, which is much more accurate, and I'm getting 50MB/s through both.
