Just got done single-sleeving the 24-pin main power connector for my AX850 and I'm 95% sure I had every wire where it belongs, but I wanted to double check and found a wiring diagram here. Now, it looks to me like my cable has the pins #4 and #21 reversed according to the diagram. They are both...

Building a new rig in about a month based on i5 2500K. Haven't decided on a mobo yet. It's been 3+ years since my last build and it seems things have changed A LOT since then. Now, I plan to overclock, would like at least 4.5 GHz stable; I will be using it for gaming, blu-ray movies, and some...

Hi everyone, hope it's ok to put this here. I wanted to post this as a place-holder for my build log I plan to do in a couple months and to share my plans for my new computer with you all and maybe get some expert advice before I drop too much money on this. I lost my main desktop computer a...

Don't know if I should post this in here or in the AMD Processor thread, if it needs to be moved I won't get butt-hurt. My question is: Does anyone know if the new AMD socket AM3+ cooler mount is going to be different enough that current-gen aftermarket coolers will not fit? Or is the pin...

So here is my setup: Creative X-Fi Titanium Pro, Logitech Z-2300 speakers, Turtle Beach 5.1 headset (splitters between them to output audio to both), XFX GTX 285, DFI LanParty P45-T2RS mobo, Samsung 206BW monitor, and here's the new addition: Samsung 640 series 32" LCD television connected via...

So I've had a 20" Samsung SyncMaster 206BW as my one and only monitor for a few years now. A couple days ago I purchased a new Samsung 640 LCD 32" Television and hooked it up to my computer as well. (Amazing picture by the way). Now I'd LIKE to be able to use the 20" as my Primary monitor in...

Ok guys I am having some serious issues with my new CPU. I just bought a Core2 Duo E8500 3.16 GHz processor to go in my DFI LP UT P45-T2RS motherboard. I have 8 GB of OCZ Reaper DDR2 1066 RAM installed. Now I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this chip to run right. In the BIOS it...

If I get a new motherboard, and reinstall the OS, can I reload all my settings from a backup I made just before the mobo died? I had Vista 64 originally installed on the RAID 0 setup of 2x 80 GB hard drives, but then I made an image of that on another hard drive as backup. So if I reinstall the...

I had a 680i SLi motherboard with my operating system, Vista x64 on a RAID 0 setup through the nVidia RAID setup on the board. The motherboard just died. Is my OS install dead too? Is it possible to hook up the two hard drives to a new motherboard and have everything still work? Or am I asking...

I have a Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty edition sound card, my first non-onboard audio card. I've been having an issue for quite some time now and after searching all over and not seeing anyone else with a similar issue, thought I'd bring it up here. My problem is after having the card in...

I have an XFX 680i SLi motherboard with 6 on-board SATA ports, and they are all filled. I have 5 hard drives and a DVD burner in there right now, with two of the hard drives set up in RAID 0 with my Vista 64 installation on them. I also have XP installed on the next smallest drive, a 300 GB...

Hello, just wanted some input from some of the experts that wander through here. I'm looking to make some upgrades to my system but I'm wondering what will give me the most bang for my buck right away. I have Vista 64 running on an XFX 680i SLI mobo with an Intel E6550 CPU, 4GB of OCZ PC6400...

So I have XP installed on a partition of a 300GB hard drive, and I just installed Vista Home Premium 64 on a RAID 0 array of 80GB hard drives. Works fine when I load Vista first and then switch to XP later, but when I attempt to go back to Vista the RAID gets disabled in the BIOS and I have to...

I have XP Pro installed on a single partition of a hard drive, and when I installed Vista Home Premium 64 bit I decided to do it on a RAID 0 array. I have an XFX nForce 680i SLI motherboard which has built-in RAID capabilities, so that is what I'm using. When I did the install I first went into...

sorry, accidental double-post, please delete

So I have a Core2 Duo E6550 (2.33 GHz stock {6x 1333}) that I've been running overclocked @ 3.19 GHz (7x 1825) for awhile now. It runs just fine at those speeds for the most part, although I've been having system crashes randomly for awhile, but I think it is probably either video driver or...

So, here is my situation... I am running windows XP 32 bit on my rig. I had 2 gigs of Corsair XMS2-5400 RAM and a single 8800GT video card. Yesterday I got in the mail new OCZ "SLI Ready" 4 GB (2x 2GB) RAM and a second 8800GT to run in SLI. So I put in the new RAM first and booted up just fine...

So, I have a 650 Watt Seasonic S12 PSU powering my rig: XFX 680i SLi motherboard Intel C2D E6550 (oc'd to 3.2 GHz) 2GB Corsair XMS2 RAM EVGA 8800 GT videocard (soon to be 2 of them) 3 SATA hard drives (300 GB Maxtor, 80 GB WD, & 750 GB Samsung) 7x 120mm case fans (6x Zalman LED, 1x...

So, I have a pretty strange scenario here... It started a few months ago when my old EVGA 7900 GS video card died. I replaced it with a new 8800 GT Superclocked edition... no troubles there. After doing some more research I realized I paid way too much for the 8800 GT at a local Circuit City and...
