yeah.. it was realy just something i tried because I ran out of 4 pin moldex connectors from the dell psu and decided to try that to see how it would work.
Have you thurned the cpu fan around from blowing in like another post recommended? I did that a year ago and my temps have been fine... or...
so I went out and got a new psu. thermaltake 420 watt. hopefully that solves my problem... good thing its actually compatable with the dell... i was suprised.
Well.. I kind of did something like this that I was unsure would work. I bought a moldex splitter that takes one moldex connector and spilts it into 2. I took that and plugged it into the pci-e adapter... so essentialy... the pci-e power connector is getting power from only one 4 pin moldex...
I havent gotten a message that my card is not getting enough power...
my temps are fine though... the nvidia temp monitor has my gpu at idle at 42c and loads dont go over 57c...
its been running fine for about 1/2 an hour now... havent tried any gaming yet though.
its odd that it didnt...
the cooling is fine... i have a zalman aftermarket cooler on it.... i guess that could also be sucking more power away from what should be going to video.
i recently put a xfx 7900gs extreme into my dell 4700 (305watt psu). It has been running fine for about a week with a number of hours of gaming until recently. during gameplay i got a screen lockup with wavy artifacts across the screen so i shut the computer down because it was locked up. when i...
Im relatively new to the OCing game so bare with me.
I have 4 X 512 DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) pqi Turbo memory that I currently use in a Pentium 4 system and would like to move over to a core 2 duo system. Yet, I keep hearing that 533 memory wont overclock very well with C2D and that you should...
I would post some pics, but my digi cam broke. :( The fan sits right in between the memory and the green heat sink... I originally had the fan just taped to the shroud (ghetto, i know) but i recenly drilled some holes and attached a bracket from the fan to the shroud. after it was all done...
Ive also done some light modding to a Dell 4700. Instead of putting the HD cage on the bottom of the case like you, I had an extra CD-ROM slot open so I put it up there. I put an 80mm fan in the front bezel. (without cutting a hole, I just used zip ties) If you dont want to get an HSF, I also...
I have not read that the build quality is poor, but for $99 it probably does not have the greatest parts out there. Although not really an issue of build quality I know the board does not include RAID opions, so that might be a negative.
Looks like Im a little late to this thread :D
I run 400 core / 720 mem with no problem. I have the pci-e version so I cant unlock the pipes. Oh well.
