    Need help on Upgrade e4300 or ???

    There is a review for the eVGA 650i ULTRA on HardOCP. All in all it's a very solid board. It does not have SLI though.

    Need help on Upgrade e4300 or ???

    Sorry it took so long to reply, but the board I am using is an Asus P5N-E SLI, which is 650i SLI. It does the job really well. I got it for almost half the price of a 680i SLI LT, and so far I have yet to see why I'd pay 120$ CDN more for the 680i. I am very pleased by the board and the CPU...

    How much life does my x1950xt have left?

    Depends of what you do, and the money you can/want to spend on this... Some people would change GPU every 6-12 months, and it is fine. Some others (like myself) upgrade every 3 years. I can't spend that much on PC along with all the other hobbies.

    Need help on Upgrade e4300 or ???

    This should be easily achievable. Mine's running at 3,0 GHZ atm (333 x 9 with Vcore ti 1.35V) and it's stable and very cool. I'll try getting it a little higher sunday night, I'd be very happy with 3,2 GHZ.

    Partitions in Vista: Question

    So when I finally installed Vista, I made a 100gb partition for Windows, and there was another 200gb of free space. Though, in Vista, I only have my 100gb partition, and I don't see the other 200gb anywhere else... Can I format it from Vista so it becomes usable?

    Can't install Vista...?

    It is NOT a Vista upgrade CD. This is a completely new rig, so the HDD is clean as is everything. In the BIOS, the board sees everything there is to see. So I boot the PC, and since the HDD is empty, it searches for a boot CD. I put the Vista Home Premium DVD (OEM) into it, and it boots...

    P5N-E SLI Boot issue

    It appeared to be a problem with the 4 pins connector of my PSU that plugs into the board. Now the PC boots, but shuts down after a couple second (generally at the screen when it shows "Core 2 Duo @ 1,86 GHZ ...". I am able to enter bios, but it shuts down almost immediately, or soon after...

    Help with Antec P180

    Well I just had another look at it, and all the holes line up already. there are no screw holes from the case that doesnt fit the mobo, but 3, which are at the right of the mobo (about an inch), so there is no problem. The system now boots alright.

    Help with Antec P180

    I got trouble with mounting my motherboard onto this case. Do I need to put the brass standoff they give? If I put them, the board seems too high with the rest of the holes (I/O, etc).

    P5N-E SLI Boot issue
