    No POST, mobo or PSU?

    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.

    No POST, mobo or PSU?

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

    Suddenly lost E4300 overclock....

    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...

    E4300 Overclocking - why not use 1:1 mem:fsb ratio?

    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).

    E4300 Overclocking - why not use 1:1 mem:fsb ratio?

    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

    OCZ Plat Rev2 DDR2-800 2GB Kit - $187 AR/FS

    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.

    OCZ Plat Rev2 DDR2-800 2GB Kit - $187 AR/FS

    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?

    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...

    2405 HDCP and HDTV input questions...

    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...
