    Is 1000W enough for a system like this?

    If the cops don't come to your house looking around suspiciously for your grow light setup, your power supply is not big enough. :D

    Best PSU for running 2 9600GTs in SLI?

    I ended up picking up this baby: HIPER Type M HPU-4M880 880W Mmm, 30 amps to each PCI-E rail. And if the cops don't come to your house wanting to see your grow light setup after looking at the drain on the grid, your power supply is NOT big enough. :D

    9600GT problem

    Bump... does anyone else agree? I'm at the point where I'm ready to at least try a different power supply - unless anyone else has any ideas of something else to try...

    9600GT problem

    See, I thought it was a defective card, that's why I bought the second one as well. I tried the drivers on the respective disks first, then tried the most recent release, then even the most recent stable beta - all with the same results. (I'm uninstalling and running Driver Cleaner between...

    9600GT problem

    Hey all, I recently bought a 9600GT, and since buying it, I have not been able to get it to work. When I connect it and install the drivers, during normal operations I get flashes on the screen, the occasional stray or rainbow pixel, and when gaming - well, games don't work at ALL. When I try...

    Best PSU for running 2 9600GTs in SLI?

    I don't think the issue is the wattage, it's the amperage. The specs for my current psu state that rail 1 has a max of 22A, rail 2 has a max of 22A, and rail 3 has a max of 25A (all rails have a .5A minimum). Now, the specs for the psu(s) state that they require 26A on the 12v rail. Now, if I'm...

    Best PSU for running 2 9600GTs in SLI?

    Hi all, I'm upgrading from 2 7600GTs, and my Antec Earthwatts 650 gave up and cried. Banding and rainbow colors all over the screen when gaming, repetitive playing of sound bites, and little bits of letters missing, flickering screen, and the occasional rainbowy pixel when not. At first I...

    Memory compatibility issues?

    This may sound like an incredibly stupid question but here goes... I recently bought a ASUS 9600gt video card, and am using it in a EVGA 850I FTW motherboard. Ever since installation, I have noticed that whenever I try to do anything that takes extensive processing power, aka, games, The card...

    Card slot covers?

    Does anyone know where I can get some nice pci card slot covers for the back of my box? I've looked in the usual places (performance-pcs, xoxide, etc) but they're all very plain and I was hoping for something with a little more pizzazz. It may not matter, but I have an AeroCool Zero Degree case.

    ASUS 9600GT issues

    After all of that, I yanked and am going to RMA that card. I'm running my former dual 7600GS SLI arrangement, and I'm newly in love with it working a treat. Yay. Now if only the 9600 would run as well...

    ASUS 9600GT issues

    Ok, so I got home tonight determined to lick this thing - or at the very least go down swinging. I installed the chips (after doing the math all the ram plus the video card is 3.5gb so I decided to give it a try), rechecked the card seat, swapped out 1 six-pin rail labeled p1 for one labeled...

    ASUS 9600GT issues

    I only have 1 gb installed right now, the 2 new sticks will bring me up to 3gb. I'll check the memory on the card tonight with the stress test and report my findings.
