New wrinkle: I put the modstream psu into another machine and that computer won't post either but it powers on and runs all the fans full speed.

Yeah. The system powers on with everything plugged in. Mobo lights up. Fans work. Etc. just no image on screen and no POST.

Hey all, Skyrim killed my system yesterday and I can't figure out if its the PSU or mobo that died. Here are the specs: 2500K MSI P67A-C43 OCZ Modstream 600W PSU GTX 275 I was playing skyrim and the system crashed (shut off unexpectedly) and it won't POST now. I've tried...

holy balls i cant believe that worked. thanks a lot! everything is back to normal now.

I have been struggling with this for a few days so i thought i'd poll the forum for ideas. I've been running an E4300 at 3.0 ghz for the last two years and a few days ago I suddenly lost the overclock and everything went back to stock settings. I haven't made any hardware changes and the only...

So the higher FSB generally outweighs the higher CPU speed + tighter memory timings? For example E6300 @ 3.15 ghz (7 x 450, ddr2-900 5-5-5-15) versus E4300 @ 3.6 ghz (9 x 400, ddr2-800 4-4-4-12).

I've read a few reviews of the E4300 (see example below) that use strange memory-to-FSB ratios for their overclocks. Anyone know why anyone would want to use anything besides a 1:1 ratio (400 mhz FSB: DDR2-800) for overclocking the E4300? http://legionhardware.com/document.php?id=610

I meant what voltage are you feeding the RAM. You'll probably need 2.0 or 2.1 V. The default is 1.8 V. Try taking the RAM up to 2.1 in increments. I think OCZ says they should be fine all the way up to 2.2 V.

I just bought these earlier. Your sticks won't do 4-4-4-15 1T at DDR2-800? What mobo and what voltage are you using?

Seems hot to me. Timings = 4-4-4-15. Am i missing something? OCZ Sku = OCZ2P800R22GK. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=85264

Only the silver one is on sale but....the one I got has the same improvements as the P180B (black one). No VGA duct, new door, vented expansion slots in the back, etc. Antec must have put out a new revision to the silver P180 as well. Also, Fry's seems to have a lot of open box P180s which...

Anyone else get backordered? I put my order in yesterday (Sunday) morning.

I just bought a 2405 from Dell Home. After reading all forums on various sites (FW, Anandtech, etc etc), I'm having some second thoughts. Has anyone actually hooked up a 720p or 1080i component signal to the 2405? How does it look? I've read a lot of crap about how the 2405 is limited to...
