    Help doing HD4850 crossfire

    Well, it seems like it's working. The only thing that's a little strange is when I'm in CCC under the crossfire menu, there is a button (i forgot what exactly it says, detect GPU or something) that says it will show the status of my cards. When I click it a huge "1" shows up in the middle of the...

    Help doing HD4850 crossfire

    Ok, nevermind about the cable length. I'm a moron. I found longer ones packaged with my extra motherboard wires. Ok, I guess my only other question is do I need to change any BIOS settings?

    Help doing HD4850 crossfire

    The kind that I have is flexible (it's a ribbon cable). Is there another kind? And if so, where can I get one. I've checked on several sites and can only find the same kind I have: A ribbon cable that is about 3 inches long. I need more like 5 inches to span the gap between the cards.

    Help doing HD4850 crossfire

    Ok, I'm totally new to crossfiring and as such don't really know what I'm doing. It would be helpful if I could find some sort of tutorial on this, but I can't find a decent one. Here's my situation: I've got two Sapphire HD4850 1GB ram cards. I've got them plugged into my motherboard (ASUS...

    Do I need to re-install Catalyst when upgrading to crossfire?

    Hi, I've been having trouble with some sort of glitch with the Catalyst Control Center/Drivers for my Sapphire 4850 1gb RAM video card. I finally got to the 9.4 CCC and driver to work properly, it seems, and now I decided to upgrade by adding another 4850 crossfired. Do I need to uninstall and...

    No boot after restart - sometimes no boot on cold boot

    I just built a computer and have been having problems with it when I do a windows restart. The system shuts down fine (the fans keep whirring and the PSU stays on) but it won't POST. Occasionally, it won't boot up on a cold boot. But the 2nd time I try it it always works. Actually, unlike any...

    Is this bad for my capacitors?

    I'm pretty sure if the PSU sends a surge through my motherboard, the popcorn will be the least of my worries.

    Is this bad for my capacitors?

    They are solid caps... I guess I'll plan on doing it. It does look really cool when finished. I probably went a little overboard on my last motherboard though. I also taped off all heatsinks and capacitors and spray painted it with clear UV reactive paint. It looked alright, but probably took a...

    Is this bad for my capacitors?

    I have a UV light inside my case. This looks cool enough with my UV sleeved cables but I took the case mod a step further. I bought some neon stickers from the stationary department and walmart, used a hole punch to punch out little circular neon stickers, and I put the circle neon stickers on...

    Will this Neopower 480W PSU work for time being?

    Hi, Last week I bought some components for my new computer. I was planning on using my 2 year old PSU with this build but now I am wary of even plugging it in. My old PSU is a Antec Neopower 480W PSU. I eventually (like in 2 or 3 months want to upgrade my PSU to a 750W since eventually I'd like...
