    Esata card

    I have a pair of Toshiba 1.5TB esata/usb external hard drives that I want to use for back up. I have a MSI 785gtm-e45 -- 6 sata ports. None of the ports are hot swappable and they are all full.

    Esata card

    Does anybody have a recommendation for an esata card, cheap? I hate spend $30 for a card when I spent $58 for the motherboard. I do not need anything fancy . . . minimum would be 1 external esata port, pcie x1. Any other ports would be a bonus. Thanks.

    Thermaltake V3 and the H50

    Is anyone using the Thermaltake V# and the Corsair H50 together. The reviews of the case are good, but not so much when combined with the H50 Btw the price is pretty good $29.99 shipped and after rebate. Amazon has same deal (but no tax for me).

    Bios update renders unlocked cores locked?

    I understand. I am not really complaining so much as I am making an observation. One CPU would unlock with EASY and now it does not. Perhaps this chip would unlock and register as a FX-5000, but not pass stress tests. The second CPU appears unaffected. Maybe the new bios is locking down the...

    Bios update renders unlocked cores locked?

    I had heard about about bios updates possibly (re)locking cores, but it seems only to have affected one of the CPUs. The bios option to unlock is still there along with the ACC choices. Regardless, I will keep the latest bios for my hex core

    Bios update renders unlocked cores locked?

    I tested two Athlon X2 5000+ (Deneb core) on my MSI 785GTM-E45. They both unlocked with easy. I tested the 1st CPU just enough to get the CPUID to list it as FX-5000. With the 2nd CPU, I unlocked and overclocked it to around 3 ghz. While tweaking the settings I updated the bios (so the...

    AMD Athlon X2 5000 unlocked to Phenom FX-5000

    I am using a MSI 785GTM-e45 with the chip (4 cores, 6megs cache) running at 2600 MHZ. It runs Prime fine, but I get video artifacts on the screen. Right now I am using the integrated video card. I assume nobody else is using the onboard video "card" to oc. BTW what is the stock VCore?
