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.
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...
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?
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...
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:
