    Need help understanding PC speakers subwoofer setup

    @Fenris_Ulf, that is helpful, thank you. I have set the cross to roughly 110. After this change I can hear more bass in guitar strings and other bassy instruments. I will try the tone generator test as suggested. Edit: okay, after running the test, I can hear tones from 14599Hz to 20Hz, though...

    Would a PC survive outside in -15C temps?

    I just put together a rig for mining script coins. I'm not thrilled with the temps the two 280Xs are generating... one at 80C and the other at 90C. I'm considering putting the rig outside in the garage. It's about -15C average now where I live. I know the GPUs would love the cold temps but how...

    R9 280X compatible with this Mobo?

    Please see the specs in my signature. I would like to strip this system down and convert it to a Litecoin mining rig. I already bought two R9 280X cards. Will 280Xs even be recognized by this board? I was hoping to recycle that hardware instead of going out and buying a whole new setup. Thoughts...

    computer will not boot after installing new graphics card - please help

    Tonight I started a hardware upgrade on my rig. This is something I have done a hundred times before. I was replacing my gtx680 with a 280X. I shut down my PC, pulled the power plug from the PSU, and swapped the cards. When I tried to reboot, I get a blank screen with an error suggesting no boot...

    I have a P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 motherboard by Asus. https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V_PROGEN3/ It has 3 GPU slots and 4 PCI(x) slots. The GPU slots are in position 2, 5 and 7. Today I bought 2 Asus R9280X-DC2-3GD5-V2 GPUs. https://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/R9280XDC23GD5V2/ These...

    PSU requirement for video cards?

    Yes, LTC mining. I had assumed both cards needed to be the same to enable crossfire. For mining they don't need to be attached? (crossfire cable)

    PSU requirement for video cards?

    My monitor is 1920x1200. I just found a lightly used AX850 on Kijiji for $75. I'll get that and run two GPUs. One GPU will be for everyday use and the other will be a dedicated miner.

    PSU requirement for video cards?

    Damn, I can't find any AX750s or AX850s anywhere. Seems they're discontinued.

    PSU requirement for video cards?

    Ok, maybe i'll put a little $ into a new PSU. My AX650 is modular ... meaning I can add or remove power lines right at the unit. I would prefer not to have to re-wire my system. On that note, I might consider a higher wattage Corsair AX series PSU. I'm hoping I can just swap out the PSU and the...

    Sorry, but the PDF you are linking has no values in it. Edit: actually I had to open it outside my browser to see the values. Thx.

    PSU requirement for video cards?

    I checked the website you noted. It suggested I am using 350W currently. That would leave me 300W for a ??? video card. I'm not sure the website is correct however. I just remembered I have everything including a LED monitor plugged into a UPS. Using the front display, it says current system...
