How much would a used Titan go for? Is an EVGA or ASUS worth the same used?

Sorry about reviving an old thread but I have a quick question: Is it really nessary to plug power into the pci power socket if your only running a single GPU? I did read somewhere it was only if your running sli. I'm going to be using GTX titan.

Thanks all, I'll just load 7 and keep 8.1 for sometime down the road.

Thanks Tsumi, don't know what I was thinking, trying 8.1 to build something new, I'd spend most of the time trying to find everything in the new OS.

Ok, so I'm building a new system and bought windows 8.1 and after thinking about it I'm not sure about getting everything tested and running in 8.1. Can I just throw in my old windows 7 disc and purchase a new key after the install? The current Key is being used on my old system that I'm keeping...

I'm running ping tests on my wired pc and when I ping my router 192.168.1.1 it's all over the place from 1ms to 20ms. Yet if I ping my modem going through the router it's rock solid 1ms for as long as I'm running the ping test. I'm using a Netgear R6300 router and all ping tests are running at...

I've come to the realization that this old rig is just that...OLD. I'm not going to go with something to get me by for now but the bleeding edge (go big or go home). I'm reading hardware reviews with my platinum visa ready. Hell, my pc at work has a Xeon cpu and 16gigs of memory...

Never mind, it's my dieing hardware on the BSODs. Didn't know BF4 was going to push my cpu so hard. Time for a new $3k build or ask for a refund on my pre-order of the game.

Would anyone know where to find a compatible driver (power management system driver) for my ABIT IP35 PRO. I had a couple BSODs playing the BF4 beta. Windows 7 has been installed for a couple of years with no problems but NOW I'm prompted to update that driver. Don't know if the BSOD was...

The OS was corrupt, got it sorted out. All is good. Thanks for your input, ep0x73.

I must have an issue with the OS because I've installed the new NIC and no connection at all. tried new cables directly to the modem and no dice. Only 3 wired devices on my network and this pc is the only one acting up. Whats crazy is windows 7 now says 3 days left to activate???? Maybe the...

I'll just disable the NICs in the bios and try the pci express NIC, since I got one now. I never used the onboard audio it's always been disabled also..

I guess I spoke too soon, both onboard nics won't connect. Get orange blinking lights plugging into ether port, light on router shows its connected. Tried to remove and let windows reinstall. Device manager says both are working. Since I have another pic-e slot (that only supports crossfire)...

Installed a EVGA 650TI boost SC 2Gb card, and the MB is still rocking hard and stable. I just can't let go of this board.

Thanks for all the help. I got my money's worth out of this rig for sure.
