    Seasonic Beep

    additionally to this. it sometimes doesn't turn on. and it turns out the GPU wasn't the issue although I'm not sure if there's still an overloading problem or if its a malfunction

    Seasonic Beep

    Hey guys, bought a seasonic 650w PSU a few months ago. It was working great, until recently. symptoms started with my PC not powering on. The solution was to remove the 2nd GPU and then re-install it and that fixed that. now when i turn my PC on the PSU makes a high pitched beeping noise...

    Help me downgrade to quality stereo

    your 5450 should be able to bit stream HD audio to the receiver, so provided you get a receiver that can decode HD audio you shouldn't need a sound card. Bit streaming sends the audio as is down the HDMI link to the receiver and lets the receiver do the decoding, so no processing is done on the...

    Mechanical Keyboard Guide

    I think you're still missing my point. It's not a matter of knowing what to look for, its where to look. Nowhere local I've called has any that are on display/willing to unbox to test. Its not that I don't know the technical difference between blues/blacks etc but I've always had the standard...

    Mechanical Keyboard Guide

    does anybody know if any computer shops in melbourne's southeast have display stock I can try? I'm interested in getting a feel for what a mechanical keyboard is like before i spend $200+ on one. Tried Scorptec but they only have logitech/razer on display and cannot unbox me a steelseries.

    New beast, need assistance

    I ordered some parts, and they arrive today. I decided to buy the parts in a few stages, so I got: Asus P6T motherboard Intel i& 920 CPU 6GB OCZ DDR3 2x G.Skill 64GB Raptor SSD. Next stage will be the BD-R drive and 2x1TB SATA storage. Then either a new GPU or tricked out...

    New beast, need assistance

    That article became the source of my question. Anandtech seems to show the 860 being the better performer, whereas everyone keeps saying to get the 920 regardless. That said, more ram with the 860 is a good thing I guess.

    Ok, I can get the 860 with 8GB for the same price as the 920 with 6GB. Which would be best?

    New beast, need assistance

    Okay, yet another question. I'm a bit paranoid about backing up/data redundancy as I have a lot of intellectual property that I store. I'm going to be getting 2x1 TB Hard drives for it, and I've got 2 options: 1) get 2 different brands so there's no chance of a batch fault on 2 drives...

    New beast, need assistance

    that poses the question, given that it does have HT, which socket would you recommend and why?
  15. S

    New beast, need assistance

    I thought the 860 had HT. What's the main differences between the 2 sockets? All I know about is the triple data rate RAM. I should mention that I only have the 1 machine, I don't have the space to run 2. My 1080p LCD TV acts as my monitor so it makes little sense in my situation to run a...
