"We want whats best and the best delivery of our bang for our money."
I'm not sure I understand your engrish, but I'll assume you meant something like: "we want the best bang for our buck."
A $450 power supply is most definitely not a good value.
I don't live on hardocp as you may. I browse occasionally. That doesn't really make what I said any less true... They should sell this PSU at Brookstone with vibrating solar powered soup makers and other worthless crap.
Products like this are simply moronic. I'm sure all 4 people who buy and use this PSU will be really happy. It leaves the rest of the community wondering: what was the point of this review? And more importantly, why does such an undesirable insane niche product garner the "editors choice"...
Yesterday I restarted my computer after a windows update and my monitor didn't come on. My TV does it's normal thing though, and windows has made it the main monitor. When the computer boots, there is weird garbled text on the tv, and then it posts as normal. At no time does the monitor come on...
Hey all,
I just got my 204B in the mail. I hooked it up to a PC here at work using the Dsub cable. The backlight didn't work. I could faintly see things on the screen, but the backlight was completely off. So I removed it from it's stand with the intention of opening it up to see if a...
Greetings all,
I currently have an Alpha 8150 on my 3800X2@ 2.63ghz 1.5V. I've got a panaflow fan on it running @30db/68CFM. If I got one of the big bad new coolers, could I get away running that fan at say, seven volts, to decrease the noise? Thanks for the input!
I solved my own problem. Apparently if you don't enable the floppy drive, the BIOS acts gay. So everyone with this mobo, make sure you've got your floppy enabled!
I am experiencing this problem too. My board will only boot at 220mhz, but in windows using clockgen my system runs prime stable at 2.633ghz. Something fishy is going on here...
I am having a similar problem. In windows I can get my CPU running at 2.633ghz with a FSB of 263.3mhz. If I try to set that in the BIOS, it won't boot past 220mhz or so.
Hey All,
I figure someone could help me with my problem, since you're all probably way more experienced overclockers than I.
Here's the situation:
I've got an Asus A8N-E motherboard and a 3800X2 processor. I read the overclocking guide on this site to figure out my processors top...
I have updated to the latest BIOS. I have an Athlon64 3000+ and 1GB of crucial ballistix.
I can't OC worth a damn and it's because of this stupid lock not engaging. I've tried reflashing to the latest BIOS and it still doesn't work.
There's another strange problem. After installing...
Hello All,
I've got some Mushkin Blue memory and I'm very disappointed in it's ability to run at anything over stock. I've got an A64 3000+ and I would like to get it to around 2.5Ghz. I want RAM thats reasonably priced ($230-250), but able to easily run at 250Mhz while offering maximum...
I'm not going to damage it. I will just tell them it causes errors and send it back. On Pricewatch they now list the 3000 as:
"- (IN-STOCK) - ADA3000AEP4AX"
It seems that my replacement processor will be what I want. :D
I've done quite a bit of searching, and most sources tell me my CPU is an old Clawhammer. I just bought it from Monarchcomputer two weeks ago.
ADA3000AEP4AP
Newegg has the model number listed as a Newcastle.
What's the real deal?
I have an ABIT KV8 Pro and an Athlon64 3000+. I am waiting on the PSU and the case I ordered, so I hooked up the PSU from my Shuttle 41G2 to the board. The LEDs on the notherboard come on, and the letter 8 is displayed, but when I short the jumper to turn it on, the LEDs go off and the number...
I just bought an A64 3000 with the intention to overclock as high as possible, with minimal noise. Here's what I got:
Alpha PAL-8150T Heatsink PAL8150T 1 31.99
120 x 25 mm Vantec SF12025L 1 14.99
Stealth Fan (53CFM @
