    Power supply weirdness: 300w vs 1000w in an old machine

    Is there any reason why a 1000w psu shouldn't work in an old Athlon x64 system? It is backwards compatible with the 4 pin square 12v connection, and the computer boots fine with it's old 300w supply, but If I throw a 1000w into it, the PSU comes on, but the CPU fan goes full blast and it doesn't...

    Recommend me a motherboard

    Sub-150 dollars, would be nice if it had tri-crossfire but no big deal as long it has 8x-8x PCIE and support for all the components below, has to have intel RAID, clear an aftermarket heatsink...my Asrock P67 died and going to buy a replacement. What is the best thing out there in that dollar...

    Did my ASROCK just die?

    I was putzing around this morning replacing video cards on the rig below. I should have known better with a head cold, but had to keep busy. Well, I got everything how I wanted it, and all the sudden the machine powered on, threw an F4 code from the LED (can't find it anywhere in the code...

    Why am I using RAID0 again?

    I just had a 2TB WD black go tits up on me in a RAID1 array I was using for storage. So I yanked it and it is going back on RMA. As an afterthought, i decided to run the singular drive through HD Tune against my RAID0 arrays of 1TB WD Blacks - just to see if it was time to retire the arrays...

    RAID 0 to RAID 10 (1+0)

    I have my system files on a raid 0 array of two 1TB drives. I just put in 2 new 1TB drives in the hopes of creating a RAID 10 array in IRST, and it's a no go, because of what I'm assuming would be system files in use so it won't let me mirror the mirror, so to speak. Does anyone know of a way...

    The wackiness of Xfire

    So...I built a new system. Originally, I had a 6950 card, that I flashed to a 6970. Ran BF3 fantastically, but I wanted more to take advantage of my 2500k at 4.6ghz. So I went out and grabbed a 6950 at a hell of a price, and flashed the 6970 back to its normal speeds...so here is the setup...

    Built new PC, can't install windows (hard drives in Win7 install)

    So I just picked up an ASROCK Extreme4 Gen3 P67 motherboard, and i2500k I had the system in my sig in a RAID configuration. Unfortunately, the raid controllers are different (old mobo was non-intel) so my RAID0 array is a no go - none of the drives are recognized as part of the array, but all...

    Q6600 overclocking

    I was just given an older Q6600. I threw it in my E8500 box to see what it would do. I am having a hell of a time with it. I can get it to 3.6, and it never gets above 50C, but crashes in the OS randomly, even up to 1.5vcore. I have the memory unlinked running at 800 just to get the CPU...

    WTB q9550 or q9650

    To try out instead of my E8500. Or something similar (quad core.) I have 2 GTX285s I might give up for the right price as well as an excuse to go 5870... :o

    Proof you need another PSU

    I just plugged another GTX 285 into my rig below to use in SLI (first time using SLI since dual Voodoo II's a long, long time ago), and am running a 650w BFG power supply in the current rig. I knew it wouldn't hang, but I had to try. The old BFG 650 was designed for 8800GT SLI, not 2xGTX285s...

    Asus VW266H 25.5" LCD

    Does anyone know if this monitor does 1:1 pixel mapping? I'm ready to pull the trigger, but I've looked everywhere and don't want it stretching my blueray movies and ps3 games. Thanks guys!

    HP rebranded TS-24W8

    From: http://www.mwave.com/mwave/skusearch.hmx?&scriteria=AA74778 Found this in a hotdeals thread. Does anyone know if this monitor will let me run HDMI to DVI with my PS3, and what kind of pixel mapping it supports? I cant seem to find any information on it. Thanks.

    Why no SLI between two G92 cards?

    I have an older 8800GT from gigabyte that has a G92/65nm core. I ordered an 8800GTS OC from Best Buy on accident (damn you and your mislabeling BB!) to SLI with, and its a G92/65nm core as well...the only difference is, it has 128 shaders where the GT has 112. Is it impossible to SLI these...

    X1950XTX suddenly making more noise than usual

    At idle, my X1950XTX (powercolor) used to be silent. Lately, i've noticed its started to make a mild rattle as it spins at idle, and its audible above everything else in the case. It sounds like a ball bearing or something else inside the fan is vibrating slightly. Its not exactly loud loud, but...

    Issue with World Of Warcraft running in a window

    Just lately, I plugged in a second LCD to my machine. I found that when I run World of Warcraft in a window, Overdrive doesnt show my VPU/GPU clock speeds increasing, they remain at the 2d clock speeds. Only when I change the game to run full screen (not windowed) will they go up to 3d levels...

    Minimizing game loses signal

    I have an X1950XTX. Whenever I minimize a game/get IMed/alt tab out, I lose video signal to the card and I have to reboot. Most of the time it actually crashes my machine (sound loops) or artifacts the video card. It does it at stock speeds, with 6.10 beta cats, and all previous versions...

    New Samsung 204BW impressions and questions

    Upgrade from a 12ms Samsung 913v...what a POS that was compared to this monitor. Got the 289 shipped deal from new egg, and it was worth it...my poor x1950xtx was tired of running at 1280! So this thing only runs 60hz at 1680x1050? The auto adjust doesnt work with DVI input, so ill have to...
