    GTX 260 with 430W PSU?

    I got my card and the Corsair 750W installed last friday, and this thing runs smoooooth. The video card almost didn't fit in my case though, lol. Had to do a bit of re-wiring. Very glad I got it :) Thanks for the advice

    GTX 260 with 430W PSU?

    I checked and it doesn't look like NCIX carries Rosewill.. And I agree, I would totally go for a modular PSU but I don't really *need* it, and I've got a nice big Coolermaster case, so I have plenty of space to tuck away the extra cables.

    GTX 260 with 430W PSU?

    Good points, thanks guys. I can't order from newegg since I'm in Canada and I don't think newegg ships to the north, so I'm going to look for a PSU on ncix I'm thinking about this one: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=22071&vpn=S75QB&manufacture=PC%20Power%20&%20Cooling&promoid=1001...

    Best choice to power leds?

    Well I'm confident in my stripping/soldering/heatshrinking abilities but yes, for safety's sake I guess I won't pull out the wire cutters :P And I won't use two outlets for this thing, so I guess the answer is batteries! Excellent, now to get to work.

    Best choice to power leds?

    I'm making a bubble tank and I'm hooking up some leds at the bottom. I'm looking for feedback on the best way to power the leds. The pump runs on AC power. Some options I'm considering are: 1) Plug a wall-wart in the wall and power the leds this way (I really don't want to do this because...

    How do I check the voltage on a LED with my multimeter?

    Hey, quick question but I'm just double checking. I hooked up my multimeter to a blue led I wanted to check the voltage on, and it read 2.2Volts, but I thought blue leds ran at 3 volts or higher. I just don't want to burn out some of these lights, is 2.2V correct?

    Running a 12V inverter on 9V

    I have some EL wire and it has an inverter with an input of 12 volts, and I have an "old-school" boombox that I want to play around with and mod for fun, but the boombox runs on 9 volts. What would happen if I wired the 12V inverter with the 9 volt input from the boombox. Would the wire just...

    Converting an Ambient-Sound Cold Cathode Inverter to Sound-Card Reactive

    That'd work but it would probably have the effect of the lights being always on.. as there is always ambient noise in any environment, so the microphone would constantly be receiving signals. If money isn't a problem you can get an equalizer hooked up to a line out on your PC, and play around...

    Laptop PSU To Power LEDs?

    Yep, the only thing in the power cable is the positive and negative wires. Open it up, the Red cable should be positive and Black will be ground (negative).

    C2D E4300 temperature questions

    21 and 27 are pretty good temps, I've overclocked my 4300 to 2.7GHz with the factory intel HSF and my cores idle at 40-41, your stock temps are great. Unsure about your overlocked temps though, I can only suggest checking the voltage

    Making my own fan controller (on/off switch)

    Hey 0graymic, that's a great idea, glad you posted it! I have all the necessary components but haven't made all the connections in the original plan yet, I got side tracked and started making an LED-glowing plexiglass mousepad. When the mousepad is finished, and providing I have time in...

    Using an SPDT as on/off switch

    Correct, this is *not* a centre off, if it was I wouldn't have a problem. Thanks guys, I'll just cover the unused terminals in electrical tape.
