I have an AMD Threadripper 1920X, (not) cooled by an Enermax Liqtech 240 TR4. The build is not even a year old and CPU temps are... bad. The mobo is an ASRock X399 Taichi micro ATX board, and the case is a matching Corsair Carbide Air 540 I believe. After booting into Windows, I look at temps...

modular means you dont have a stack of cables, you can pull some out of the psu, making more room and less chaos with the cable (see pictures of any psu marked as modular)

yes the system will consume ~300W methinks (at load thatis)

they mean plug the 20 pin part in and leave the remaining 4 pin hanging

no, that is for the whole system with lots of headroom. get a corsair 520, you dont need more

is your .Net framework up to date? i think the ccc requires 2.0

i think most reviews dont go under the x1950 series nowdays so i guess you'll have to find one with one card and one with the other which both have a similar card in it (like a x1950 pro)

how about the T7100. 2ghz is not needed for casual coding and photoshop

it will work with the 4pin anyway without any extra cable or converter, just plug it in and boot

hope this is the most satisfaction you'll ever get in life, geez get out sometimes

head to the mobo's site and download a bios update and apply it. if ur lucky it will work(dunno anything about ECS), if not then you'll have to find a P965 board at least

first thing i'd check the card's temps

well for an upgrade i'd suggest getting an AM2 board and cpu. reason is its a good idea to have 2 gigs of ram under vista (tho not necessary) and i dont know if you want to spend that ammount of money on ddr1 modules (considering future). as i recall, the only fuss about hardware change is you...

oh lovely, thankyou i'm not in a rush, so i guess i can wait for a proper board thanks a bunch

well it seems to me its a very good system with the cpu at high clocks can feed the gtx fine, and 2 gigs of ram are enough for any regular gaming rig. i have no idea, buy beer :) i'm leaning to a new cpu with higher clocks, you can still oc it but wont stress it as much, 4 gigs of ram would...

its always the same realtek audio chips, so if you previously had an asus mobo i'm sure you'll know how it sounds (dont know about other brands). anyway i have no problems with it but sound is not a priority for me so i guess i'm not an expert on sound :)

thx everyone my bad i forgot to specify it is a amd x2 3600+ brisbane core so indeed it is a dual core cpu at 1,9ghz at stock so there are no integrated solutions with proper decode in the chipset which would handle the dog part and wouldnt utilize the cpu as much? that is sad. well as i said...

i'm also interested, i've recently installed x64 vista and i get the same strange behaviour from my secondary drive and my wd mybook pro external drive goes to standby quite faster than it did with the x86 vista i only looked in the hardware manager, but i'll look in the power management when...

greetings, there are some microATX boards which come with HDMI output and i'd like to know how the current chipsets handle HD data. if they use the cpu too much it will heat it up which means i have to get some more accurate cooling for the cpu which means more money out the window (i want to...

thank god we are not in times when a vga alone can consume 400W, and hope we never will be :) that is for the whole system if you are planning to get a ups unit you should look for a psu with passive pfc or a ups with sine output (not cheap)

the're after ur money (or they just shouldnt be vendors) :) silversone is aces, dont worry you wont have problems with the things listed, and evga is fine aswell with the step-up progam its even better than the others imo (just check with the shop if they support it)

yeah, that 350W psu of urs would power the rig fine. the 420W is just for the 12V rails, but a psu has more like the 5V or 3.3V, you can see it drilled down how it adds up to 500 on the sticker

true in case the the 12V rail has high amps and little hardware to power, but if more hardware pull the required power from the same rail stability may suffer (tho most psus generate the +12V for each rail from the same capacitor its kind of strange, but i keep my statement)

if i'm correct this psu has only one +12V rail. it would probably run the current rig, but if its not a problem, you should probably buy something with at least two +12V rails. its a bit more healthy for the system and the psu. tho its not a must, just precaution.

aaaaand the problem is? its not like you have a 3-legged horse which needs to run on the derby. i run my [sig] cpu @ 3.2GHz with a [sig] psu. problems? none.

what do you mean it isnt cutting it? it should be enough for 2 cards with no problems

the list is general, and it represents the quality, not for this specific case and not ment for high-end systems only

damn they should make these calculators illegal or something (btw i think you selected a fhew things incorrect) ^^ rule nr. 1, do not trust blindly anything, but a multimeter in computer sience the things you listed here could be handled by a good quality 400W psu, if sli is planned a 500W psu...

i think there's a sticky here with a recomended psu list, but here's one, hope it helps FSP: FSP (modell: ATX-300PNF, ATX-350PNF, ATX-400PNF) FSP Bluestorm (modell: FSP350-60THN-P, FSP400-60THN-P, AX500-A) FSP Bluestorm 2 (modell: BS2-350, BS2-400, BS2-500) FSP ZEN (modell: FSP300-60GNF)...

sure, there are molex-to-sata converter cables, usually they pack it with the sata cable in the mobo's box. if you didnt get any i'm sure you can get one at the local pc shop

some good 450W would be enough, dont fall for that "be on the safe side, get a 600W its good for overclocking" shiath only if you have money to burn

that psu could run 2 of those systems and still have enough power to bake you a cake

dont know how you managed to calculate 850+ watts, but the rig you listed hardly could pass 450W. and another thing, dont use that calculator, its evil :P

a corsair hx620 would be enough, but if you have ur heart set on those 2 the 750W pcp&c will be good

for these high-end newbreed cards it's not really ideal to only have one +12V rail, its not really healthy for the whole system even tho the amps check out for the operation of the card. if you can, get a "proper" psu from a friend and test stability

using software is not wise, using a multimeter is the proper way

nope, go ahead
