Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Yes, the issue with the PCs going into standby could be fixed simply by disabling it, and that is the way they are SUPPOSED to be set up, however due to the inconsistencies with device standardization [don't get me started on the way things work around here ;) ]. Also , they are set to come...
I agree that it will not help with the machine locking up, but more often than not the machines just go into standby. It won't replace the power button, but it will make for decent solution. Drilling a hole has been discussed, but without going into the details, it has been shot down due to...
So I was wondering if the combined infinite wisdom in this forum could solve this issue for me. I work for a healthcare provider, and one of our special projects has been installing PCs in the patient rooms. The main problem we have been having is that, due to the cost involved for running...
Here's an Idea. What chipset should you want if you wanted to upgrade to a Conroe in the future. Buying a new mobo with a newer chipset would be a smart move for the future and would justify going with the 805 in terms of cost.
Honestly I havn't really looked at OC'ing a 930 or 940. I've just been impressed at what you can do with an 805 with just a huge fan on it (probably a Zalman). Its also a cost issue: get the performance of a 940 (or maybe a bit better) with an OC'ed 805, or just pay the full price for a 940...
OK, so let me start by saying that this build is not for gaming. Its more media oriented, but not necessarily a HTPC. So here are the potential essential components:
Mobo: Asus P5RD2-VM (Xpress 200 Northbridge)
CPU: Pentium D 940 (or 805 OC'ed...you tell me!)
RAM: 2 x 1gig Mushkin...
