    Looking for a pair of OCZ reaper HPC DDR2 800 or higher for my brothers rig. 1gb or 2gb, doesnt matter, just a matched pair. He's got a q6600 @ 3.15ghz and 4gb ddr2 already, but I'm trying to help him maximize performance on a budget. He has a 1030, so I think more memory is really the limit...

    A gt210 is a completely different animal compared to a GTX 480. He is running a gt210 right now. But I'll look into getting a 6pin to 8 pin adapter.

    Yeah not looking to break records. Just get him up and gaming in some sort of capacity. I have a spare 6 pin in the system, so would a 6 pin + molex to 8 pin adapter be ideal? The PSU has 3 12v rails @ 19a each. Multi rail psu's are foreign to me. Edit: dual molex to 6 pin, then that plus...

    Old Antec 650w + GTX480 = No bueno?

    Piecing together a PC for my little brother for school and picked up a like new condition Antec TruePower 650w power supply. Idk if it was ever actually used, because there was not a spec of dust inside it. Fan guards were nice and shiny. We got it hooked up, and realized that there are no...

    Looking for a graphics card for my little bro's rig. Put in a 650w antec power supply, but doesnt have the extra 8 pin I need for the GTX480 I have on hand, so no POST :(. Possibly a matched pair of DDR2-800+ as well.

    Did I kill my cpu?

    Do you remember what your temps were like? Also, mine is a G0 revision, which if I remember right was one of the more easily overclockable ones? Correct me if im wrong.

    Did I kill my cpu?

    Well, turns out I solved my own problem. It was a bad overclock. I hadn't even considered pushing past 3.0ghz until I figured out what was going on, but said what the heck and tried it anyways. 3.195ghz, 355x9, 1.30vcore, 1.23 VTT. Memory overclocked to 1066mhz. Audio stutter in VLC went...

    Did I kill my cpu?

    Ah that would make sense. Man, I dont want to reinstall again XD. I think i may have a Q8200 sitting around. Maybe I sold it. I know I have an old school E6750 though aha.

    Did I kill my cpu?

    As far as I know, all settings were the same. Ive reset the cmos multiple times with the same method with no problems. Is there any setting in particular I should be looking for? I wouldnt think its network related. Im on a hardwired 60mbps connection, and I live alone. I mean, I dont want...

    Did I kill my cpu?

    So I have a q6600 I've been playing with in my system. Was running a mild overclock on air. 3.0ghz, 333x9, 1.28 vcore, memory at 966mhz I believe. Was stable but my temps were high. I was playing around with overclocks around the 3.2-3.3ghz range to no avail during this time as well. Threw...

    I dont know if it was amd or not, but when i threw in a spare 8400gs, it was able to boot without bluescreen, but i think the card is bad from being banged around in a box for 2 years. The screen had gone plaid! (Spaceballs recrence). So yeah, that is why i am trying to find a card for...
