Yeah I do not know alot about SSD drives, I have stayed away from them mainly because of how my first drive did me. with out warning, it just stopped working, so i have avoided them, But figured i would give them one more try with the wife's new build. So, thanks for all the info everyone, it...

Well so far, the wife is happy with her new to her system. So i guess i did something right. She is running I7-950, 20gb DDR3, X58A-UD3R, RX470 4gb, and the Patriot SSD. So far it is running great. As soon as i can im going to upgrade her to windows 10 pro. so that should be the last thing i do...

Yeah It is actually going in my SIG Main box setup. I upgraded and the wife is getting the I7-950, UD3R, and the 20gb ram and a RX470. So yeah, over what she is coming from as far as her system specs down in the My signature.

So i just picked up one of these drives from Fry's for $25 bucks. Was wanting to know if anyone here has used these drives yet and have you had any issues with them. I purchased it for a Drive upgrade for my wife's system, she will be going from 4x74gb Raptor Drives in RAID-0 to this. Im sure...

i would tell your buddy there, that if he doesnt put a better psu with more watts that his newly built system is going be nothing. :eek: even if it did fire up and worked, i would of still put at least a 550 or more watt psu in it. even my setup with what i got, im sure im about to max...

well guys, i think ill be getting one, smallest one know too man. http://www.mini-itx.com/reviews/pico-itx/ hope you guys will like it.

so is taking off the IHSF better for it, sorry im a noob at this type of stuff, granted i know it viods the warrenty, but im not worried about that. ive got a Socket 939 X2 3800+, would taking the ihsf be easier for the heatsink to cool the chip or what..... please let me know, i would love to...

if all the system is going be doing is server work, then i would say go for it. i mean cellys are not bad chips, they are just pentiums without the cooler shiney stuff. lol. but yeah dude, go for it. i mean like you said, gets use maybe once a month. should run fine. :D

you know this does sound like a bad motherboard. i would call up Asus and see about getting an RMA for the motherboard. Now, for the ones that are bashing Antec. you know, ive got two Neopower 480's, one Neopower HE 550, and like 4 Smartpower 300's and not one have blown or caused any damage...

no problem brother, what brand did you get just curious. was it antec. glad i could be some help bro. good luck keep that gatway pumping along in games. :D

you know, i will say my AMD is running dam good, never would of thought they would be systems. i built my brother a Athlon XP 2600+ back when they were still decent systems and i had nothing but problems with it and at that time i was using the Intel P4 3.2ghz Prescott on a Abit IC7-G Max2 and...

thats cause this post has helped alot of us with our problems with the A8N-SLI Premium, even though some peeps post there Deluxe verisons in here, i really think that they are almost close to ours, but not quite. oh well, who am i to complain. its still cool to see that everyone posts their...

ok, what that probably is, is you might have to reactivate windows again, because you have changed the hardware that it was using when you first installed windows. try going to system tools under your start menu and see if it has Activate Windows listed in the menu and try running it, if it...

they probably are, but i just did a google for award bios post codes and thats the first link i picked. its pretty sad when abit has come up with the little lcd screen on their mobos that displays a code on boot-up and why no other motherboard maker has thought of using that idea. i think its...

ok what exactly is the bossman going to do?:confused: and that cpu you picked, you better times that by two, cause if i remember correctly, you have to buy 2 of thoses beasts and the pricey mobo to go along with it. but let me know what he is going to be doing with it, so i can get an...

AMDFAN, look at this link:http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm as far as your board goes dude, by the AWARD BIOS Post Codes, your video card is the problems, not your motherboard. what you need to try to do is get ahold of another video card and try it. let us know how it goes.

that sound great on the psu upgrade Loswho. when you get the system up and going let us know how its running. ok for your question on installing your cpu. here is a link from Intel themselves showing you how to install a LGA775 CPU onto a motherboard. click this link...

sorry bout long sig. hope this is alittle better. i tryed my best to sum up my specs. again sorry for the long sig. :D

cool, bradr69, glad that your curret psu is a standard atx psu. as far as the mounting holes go, it will be ok that you only use 3 holes, after mounting the new psu in, just make sure it is well secure to the case. for the atx power connector, the 23 wires is normal, as long as it is plugged...

as far as i go, im running the bios 1009, and its been running strong. havent had the fans shutting off and back-on on cold boot. i would have checked to see if you had Q-fan turned on in bios. until asus makes that 1302 a full blown verison, im not running beta's, but as far as i can see, i...

loswho, hey man, glad that we all can be a help with a fellow Hard Forum Member in need of some upgrade questions. if you are not into overclocking then the intel mobo will be fine, you are just buying features that you may never use on the other mobo's that got posted. sorry, but if you...

ok for the last person, you do not have to buy a new cd key for your windows everytime your system crashes. once you buy that key its yours forever, when you reinstall with your key it will ask you to Activate Windows when you get done with the new install. as far as finny's question for...

Loswho, hey man, from what i have priced at www.newegg.com with the setup you are looking at, you are close to breaking over your $350 limit. so lets see what i can come up with for you as a intel setup, as posted lets go with the cpu msg1285 sugested. ill post links for the best bang for the...

ok hold on, Murphys got the right answer. what has happened, sense you were running an older setup, windows was configed for that system, were not in the older days of win98, when you build a new system and you can move your old hd to the new system and expect windows to find stuff and work like...

hey jpongin, hey man, where did you get that desk, ive been looking for a nice desk for my setup, but ive been stuck with a cheap desk from sams club, its ok, but it has a glass top and if anyones knows about glass tops, they can hurt you, lol. so, if you can please let me know where you bought...

ok bradr69, hey man, im sure everyone is glad to help in theses types of need. there are few things i would do in this type of case where you have a factory built system. one, i would take measurements of your current psu and take note of them, and type to see on newegg if they put the...

Hello fellow Hardforum members. I am looking into doing a few upgrades to my current system in a few months and was wanting to know what you guys would pick for a newer PSU in watts than my current psu. I currently have an Antec NeoPower HE 550 PSU and it has worked great sense day one. I have...

ok buntz, how come alot of peeps are having problems with this board, did asus make a bad bunch of them or something, or is it the hardware that people use. its werid man, cause like i said before, mine hasnt had one problem from day one. maybe i was one of the lucky ones, :confused: . i bought...

might as well add me too the list as well, in the process of moving to North Carolina, my rig is back in indiana and im missing it so, this laptop just doesnt cut it, lol. but my system specs are down below in my sig and i would love to keep the sckt939 going as long as we can. have thought of...
