    Gigabyte ga-ep45-ud3P motherboard

    Just pulled the trigger on this board & a Q9300 (got both from a local Micro Center). I took a couple of days to read thru the forums, but I still have a question in reference to the 'auto' settings in the BIOS. It appears that if I want to adjust the FSB for ANY reason what so ever, I would do...

    Macbook Pro won't charge!

    Had the exact same issue with my MacBook Pro about a month ago. As it turned out, it was actually the pins that are recessed on the inside of the plug of the adapter. They had "springs" that failed to keep the proper tension on the power contacts (kind of like how the ball point part of an ink...

    Getting the Intel bundle... need a DDR2 rec! (D820 + D945PSN mobo)

    Yup, it's official; this board does EXACTLY what it's supposed to do, and NOTHING more. Got XP installed, updated to the latest BIOS, installed chipset drivers and vid card drivers. Didn't bother updating XP or reapplying AS 5, though. Speed fan 4.27 gives me CPU temps of 46-48C idle. After...

    Getting the Intel bundle... need a DDR2 rec! (D820 + D945PSN mobo)

    HA!! It figures. Got just the basics installed (everything except HDD & Optical drive) and having the same issues as a few other poeple, HOTNESS! First run, temps avg. 65C, remount zalman w/ AS5 a second time and added a 120 intake fan on the front, temps avg 63C. Tried lowering the ambient...

    Getting the Intel bundle... need a DDR2 rec! (D820 + D945PSN mobo)

    I just picked up my memory (pqi25400 - 2gdb ddr2-667 turbo memory) from monarch for 183.00. I've heard that some people were getting decent overclocks w/ it. I also decided to go with EVGA 7800 GT CO, instead of the 6800 GT (I'm well aware of some of the driver issues for the different...

    Getting the Intel bundle... need a DDR2 rec! (D820 + D945PSN mobo)

    I guess you get what you pay for, but it was still one hell of a deal. Oh well, it'll serve me well for the time being. I'm still running a PIII 600-B w/ 384 MB of PC-100 SDRAM. how's that for anciennt? :D. Once I get this new rig going, I'll use it as a friewall or linux box, or something...

    WD 74GB Raptor question

    COOL!! (phun intended) I kinda wanted the Cooldrive 4 just for looks anyway. Still undecided as to if I'll also let it control the speed of my zalman 7000 Cu, 120mm rear exaust and 80mm intake fans. I got a coolermaster centurion 5 w/ the mesh grill front. I'm not annoyed by moderate noise, but...

    WD 74GB Raptor question

    I just bought a WD 74GB Raptor. I did some researching, but will putting it in something like a Cooldrive 4 help any, as far as cooling goes? I'm sure it will help to reduce the "noise" some, but i don't want to put it in something that is going to turn it into a nuclear reactor :confused: .

    Getting the Intel bundle... need a DDR2 rec! (D820 + D945PSN mobo)

    I got the exact same hardware form the intel program. I'm thinking about DDR2 667 and try to OC (on an Intel board? yeah, right!) it to 3.2. I'm not a Hard core gamer, but for that price, why not? I do mostly encoding and vidoe stuff anyway. I'll be playing mostly WoW, so regardless, I'm...

    cheap RAM to OC w/ P4 640

    If I had a nickle for every time I saw "you get what you pay for" as far as RAM is concerned :D .... I understand, though. Cheap RAM = :mad: as hell. I think a better way would have been, 'the best bang for the buck'. From what I've seen, TCCD (low vdimm, tight timings, compairable to...

    cheap RAM to OC w/ P4 640

    thanks!!... I'll keep researching; I may wind up going with a different MoBo, get some decent DDR for a slight OC and use the extra $$ to put into a 6800GT...

    cheap RAM to OC w/ P4 640

    I'v been reading through the forum and the RAM FAQ, but I'm still a little confused. My new rig will use an Asus P5GD2-Dlx (i915P) MoBo and 6600 or 6800 GT. (I was debating between the 550 & 640, but decided on the 640 instead.) Now I'm having a hard time figuring out which DDR2 (1 Gig or 512...

    Please pick me out RAM for my FX55/asus a8n-sli motherboard.....

    Now, I'm curious.... not to hi-jack this guy's thread, but any suggestions for a modest OC on a Asus P5GD2-Dlx? was thinking about getting 1Gig DDR2 (533) of Corsair Value; but b/c of modest and not extreme OC'ing, I could save a few bucks and go with 1Gig (400) DDR. Correct me if I'm wrong...
