    Kevin Smith vs. Southwest via Twitter

    I think the moral of this story is that Kevin Smith needs to lose some weight. Southwest should of sent him a $100 voucher for a local gym.

    Will any DVI-HDMI Dongle/Cable work for 4870x2 Audio?

    I've heard conflicting reports on this subject. To answer my own question then. I tried a DVI-HDMI cable and it didn't work for me. So I got an ATI DVI-HDMI dongle and the audio now works.

    Will any DVI-HDMI Dongle/Cable work for 4870x2 Audio?

    My card didn't come with its own DVI/HDMI converter because it was OEM. So I am wondering if it should work with any DVI/HDMI converter?

    Will any DVI-HDMI Dongle/Cable work for 4870x2 Audio?

    I have a HD 4870x2 OEM without any software or DVI-HDMI dongles or cables. I was wondering if the onboard audio would work through HDMI using any off the shelf DVI-HDMI cable or dongle. For those of you who bought a retail version of the 4870x2 is your DVI-HDMI dongle vendor specific?

    M3A78-T Running Hot?

    hey thanks for the help. I think the fan for my HSF max's at 500rpm, but the BIOS doesn't like it, oh well. Still issues at this point, will have to play around with the bios and maybe reapply thermal paste to my HSF.

    Booting phenom ii x4 940 without HSF

    Quick question, I got a Phenom ii x4 940 CPU without the HSF. Can I powerup my system without the HSF to see if the CPU is working or do I need to install my aftermarket HSF before I power up my system? Another question, will the motherboard POST without a CPU?

    How do you update a mobo bios without a CPU?

    This is the motherboard that I am interested in ASUS M3A78-T AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX paired with a Phenom II X4 940. The flashing sounds pretty straightforward given that you have all the right tools on-hand. However, I would prefer it to work straight out of the box with my intended CPU. My...
