Thanks a lot for your help I really appreciate it, first time buying an ssd wasn't expecting to encounter so many problems. I first thought it was due to the fact that my board doesn't have achi support. I guess I should of done my homework first with these gskill drives, lot of reviews on...
Wondering if you guys can help, I been having major problems with my phoenix 120gb ssd. My Evga 780i only detects the drive if I boot into a secondary windows 7 install and reconnect the power cable. If I power on and off the system, the bios doesn't detect the drive, but it detects it fine on a...
Hi guys, recently I purchased a Gskill phoenix 120gb ssd I have tried everything and my motherboard still can't recognize the drive. I was reading that my board doesn't support ACHI, would that be the reason why my board isn't picking up the ssd?

Thanks jeremy but I'm looking to go quad for this build. The price for ddr2 seems kind of steep compared for what you can get for ddr3 nowadays. Wouldn't onboard video make the computer chug as far as hd video is concerned?
My goal is 600$ but slightly flexible. I'm going to have a talk with my cousin concerning monitor as 24 might be overkill although the samsung 24 at 200$ seems like a pretty good deal. He prefers intel but I can persuade him to go amd if i5 would be over his budget.
I already have windows 7,keyboard and mice..This is what I came up with so far a little over budget though. What do you guys think should I go phenom or i5?

Being that I'm on water what would be the highest overclock I could get on the e8400. I was thinking I would be able to hit 3.4-3.6 on the q6600. I'm not looking into anything that is future proof as I plan to upgrade a year from now. Want something that I can game on highest settings and boost...
I was checking evga website and that processor isn't compatible with my mobo.I got shafted as when I purchased this system it was suppose to be future proof so I can upgrade to the latest quad cores -____-. On my spare time I do game and use 3ds max so I want a cpu that could cut down the...
Hey guy's I need advice want to upgrade my proc.Currently I have a evga 680i, e4300 watercooled to 3ghz,4gb of ram and a evga 8800gt. I'm going to be over clocking but unsure if I should go quad or better off with the 45nm dual core? I'm currently running xp and want to upgrade to 7.
This was the first water cooling setup I done and the 680i chipsets are really close together I actually cracked the south bridge the first time I tried installing it.I couldn't tell if I was making good contact. In addition to the lan li it was a nightmare. Anyways I'm going for the q6600 and...
Yes I use Vray all the time and its super slow on my dual. I am looking at the q6600 on Ebay is the G0 currently still the best overclocker.I am scared looking at my pc I have no idea how I am going to take those blocks off there were almost impossible to put on.:confused:
Hey guys I am thinking of upgrading been using 3ds max and rendering has been really slow.
The reason is rendering doesn't use video card its all cpu intensive.I been looking at my system almost been a year and half and my system hasn't been cleaned.I see some mold in the tubbing so I thought...
