    low power, 4 drive bay, hd HTPC

    I don't think that you'll do much better than a lower end AMD processor in terms of power consumption. Motherboard does make a small difference too though I am not sure which ones are more efficient than others. I also don't know much about specific RAID controllers. My machine running a RAID...

    Thinking about getting the Samsung 32GB SSD SLC Drive

    I would like an SSD for my laptop but that is just so expensive. There are much cheaper drives but I don't know how good any of them are. Anyone used one of these yet?

    low power, 4 drive bay, hd HTPC

    In RAID 01 or 10 you can have one drive fail per mirrored set, obviously it depends on which drives die in a 4 drive situation. With 4 drives, RAID 01 can only tolerate 1 failed drive while RAID 10 can tolerate at least one depending on which drives fail. In the case of 4 drives in a RAID 10 I...

    Suggesstions on my build

    I would lose the radeon too unless you plan on doing some gaming. I have the same board with a brisbane 4400+ and it handles 720p (tv only does 720) just fine. I'd sell the radeon. Plus if you ditch it, that PSU that you currently have will be more than enough.

    low power, 4 drive bay, hd HTPC

    My HTPC generally uses less than 50 watts unless I am encoding a video or doing something very intensive. I have: GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H MD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Brisbane 2.3GHz OCZ Gold 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 SeaSonic S12 2x 320GB Seagates Mirrored (RAID 1) I might...

    GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 Northbridge waterblock

    I don't know of any specific blocks but I do know that that the mounting holes are different than older chipsets. I have some Gemini tech chipset blocks that were intended for socket A chipsets (i.e. Nforce2) but they don't fit on the northbridge of my G965-S3. I asked in the forums if the...

    NForce2 vs. P965 Chipset WB

    Got my new motherboard today. Its a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3. Turns out that hole spacings are different so my chipset waterblock won't fit. My video card waterblock may fit but then my vid card obviously won't be watercooled.

    Inexpensive Ram for OCing e6300

    I decided to just go with these OCZ 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Link Hopefully I can still push my C2D way up there. I may have to take advantage of some memory ratios. Anybody know which ones are available on a Gigabyte S3?

    Inexpensive Ram for OCing e6300

    After some more digging, I realize that my above question and requirements may not be possible. I have a different question now though. Would it be better to go with some DDR2 667 if it has the potential to overclock further and is higher quality? Or should I stick with DDR2 800 sticks that...

    Inexpensive Ram for OCing e6300

    I have already ordered an e6300 and a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3. I need some help find finding some quality low-end ram though. I am going to go with 2x 512mb and would like to stay as close as possible to $110. I will be watercooling and would like to overclock as much as possible. I have been...

    How long have your W/C'ed system been runnin trouble free?

    I've been watercooled for about 6 months and have only had a problem once due to some finicky fan connectors. A power pass-thru connector decided to stop giving the pump power. Everything got really hot, I could barely touch the cpu block, but there doesn't seem to have been any long term damage.

    newbie help please, tia

    Well all the water will be contained in tubes, waterblocks, radiator. Sounds like maybe you should you do a little more research before you start ordering any water cooling stuff. You could always go with the stock cooling for now and after you've done some reading upgrade to water. I think...
