    UPS not holding the load

    Sorry for the delay in replying , internet is really pathetic . The UPS make clicking noise ( which s very annoying ) very often , though there does not seem to be any mains power fluctuation . This morning I had a shutdown , the UPS did not hold the load . Running the computer without the UPS (...

    UPS not holding the load

    I have a 2 month old UPS - DCP brand 1.2kva , 720w that is not holding the load ( 15 times ) . A single computer , X58 M/B , X5650 processor , 3 internal HDDs , 1 usb and the monitor which pulls 14w . A 1.2 should be sufficient , yes ? Corsair CX650m ( new ) PSU .

    How hot should a X5650 get ?

    Sorted the problem out ( touch wood ) , I think . Now have a CM 212X cooler and Corsair CX650M PSU and Temps are fine . Changed the case to another Chinese one ( with serious issues ) . I had a few real puzzles to work out - Top of M/B to top fan 5mm less than ideal , same with bottom of case...

    How hot should a X5650 get ?

    The T5500 stock coolers ,like the T3500 , are far better than the one I have , shame I cannot fit a T3500 ( U016F 0U016F ) cooler on this board as I have one sitting idle waiting for a replacement dell M/B.

    How hot should a X5650 get ?

    I am using the Intel E29477-002 stock cooler , I am about to migrate the board to another case with a new PSU and New 212X cooler ( I have a T3500 but need another M/B - can only get the older M/B here at a high price ) .

    How hot should a X5650 get ?

    How hot should a Xeon X5650 get ? Using less than 25% load but the temps are pushing 70-80 C . Stock cooler and room temperature of 30 C . Seems a little warm for the load .

    Dell T3500 PB12 error

    It DOES NOT just boot back up , I have a certain procedure and it is that procedure that gets the computer working again . You think that I would be pushing the issue if all I did is press the power button to regain use of the computer ? The steps I take KEEP the computer working , If Now I...

    Dell T3500 PB12 error

    I agree there must be a reasonable limit to the time spent trying to rectify the problem with an older motherboard especially if the parts are not replaceable , But the point I am trying to make is that I believe the solution is far more simple than any of the comments I have read on this...

    Dell T3500 PB12 error

    This is a DELL issue , do you have experience of this kind of error ? PB 12 error indicates PSU is good , not a problem with memory , Graphics card or peripherals either . Now unless anyone else can refute me , I seem to be the only one still using my computer after a PB 12 , not crowing about...

    Dell T3500 PB12 error

    I think I am looking at a different e-bay to you . You can more than double that price if shipping is included + customs duty and still end up with only a 30 day warranty ( and then you have to pay return shipping ) . I have proven many times that PB 12 is not a terminal problem ( at least in...

    Dell T3500 PB12 error

    Machine is working fine . After a really bad day yesterday when we had at least 9 power outages in the morning ( and the UPS is not holding ) , I gave up and went out for 2 hrs and the machine booted up first time on return ( no PB12 ) - technically that would be a "cold" start as the temp in...

    Dell T3500 PB12 error

    Yes , PB12 = 1 + 2 lights flashing . Bios clearing does not solve the problem , does it ever ? Re-seating the ram and PCI cards the same . What i need is a fellow T3500 user with a PB12 issue to try what I just did 5 minutes ago and transform the ( generally accepted verdict of "...

    Dell T3500 PB12 error

    I have a Dell T 3500 , which has the PB 12 issue . I have on 4 occasions recovered the machine to working state .
