The double lifetime warranty, of course!

i've had corsair ram for years...now I can have their speakers too!

CM 690 II Advanced:

Unfortunately, no Fry's around here. I checked the specs on ESC's website on the motherboard I linked above (after being redirected to an Asian porn site...freaky Taiwanese people) and apparently only CPUs up to 95W works (mine is 125). Can't find any other motherboards for under $50 with...

From what I've read about previous Gigabyte RMA experiences, it seems that sending you a refurbished board is the last resort for Gigabyte.

I'm currently looking for a relatively cheap motherboard (say, $30 - $45) as my Gigabyte MA790X-UD4P is broken and in for RMA (sent it on Friday, so it will probably take 4+ weeks until I get it back). I don't expect much from the motherboard (no OC or anything). The cheaper the better, as long...

I tried the speakers both ways (swapping +/-), went and got a second speaker to make sure it wasn't the speaker that was broken. I took everything out of the case, placed the motherboard on the box, and tried to force the beeps without RAM and video card (but nothing). I will bring it to the...

Yeah. The computer was working fine until I decided to Crossfire. After that, it stopped working. If I were to bring it into a computer repair shop, do you think they'll be able to test the CPU/mobo for me?

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone with an AM2+ board, nor do I have an extra.

I also forgot to mention, but I don't know how significant this is, but the power button works when I want to turn on the computer, but it does not work when I want to power it off (even after pressing it for a few seconds). I don't think the restart button works either, but I am almost certain...

Looks like the pins are fine on both cards.

I tried crossfire'ing two HD4890s earlier, but was unable to have it start (would not even power up..would light up for a split second). I figured that my powersupply wasn't good enough, so I called it quits and removed the second video card out. When I tried to boot it afterwards, the computer...

According to my motherboard memory list, in order to run DDR2-1066, I would have to have 1 DIMM per channel. If I were to do that, I would sacrifice dual channel for it. Is it better to leave it like it is (running dual channel), or should I move a stick for 1066?

Thanks for all the replies..here's what I have now: CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor Model HDZ940XCGIBOX - Retail Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail...

I apologize, my plan is to upgrade in 2-3+ years.
