    Looking for Power supply for P4T MB

    Looking at the manual for the mobo it makes no mention of an Aux 6 pin power connector, however if you need a psu with all three connectors pc power & cooling will add any connector you need to any of their psu's for a small charge.

    P4 2.6c memory upgrade question

    Before I updated to the 3.4, I had a 2.6 in my comp.....you really should have no problem pushing it to fsb of 225 or 230 with the right memory at a 1:1 divider, just don't go over 1.6V Some good UTT or TCCD (BH-5 if you can find it) running at pc3500-3700 should do the trick. The 2.6 was an...

    Worth pulling the trigger on a system like THIS?

    If I'm not mistaken the Intel Pressler 930 ($357) and 940 ($460) are both available on newegg for under $1000 and should work nicely with the mobo you selected. From what I gather water cooling should not be needed since the 65nm proc runs much cooler than the prescott (90nm) However a good...

    Limitations of a 320w Powersupply

    Looks to be pushing the limit of the psu, but there is no harm in trying, worse case scenario is it won't boot.

    Ram recommendation

    My vote goes for the Mushkin Redline....excellent reviews, the newer versions run at "normal" voltages under 3.0V and you can buy them directly from Mushkin with their usual lifetime warrenty and outstanding customer service and support. ( and,no I don't have any affiliaion to Mushkin, just a...

    PSU general question

    A psu that dies on you can take out almost any component in your system. Recently I've noticed a higher percentage of mobo's and cpu's.....but they are all fair game to a failed psu. Generally a psu manufacter will test their units and rate them by MTBF....Mean Time Before Failure, usually its...

    Memory and Performance

    Looks like your a bit cpu limited....I had a 2.6C before I upgraded to the current 3.4....loved the 2.6, it ran cool and OC'd very well. Even still you should with your gpu and 2.6 and 1Gb of memory should do fine with BF2/FEAR. If your memory/mobo is up to the task and you have adequate...

    Memory and Performance

    Your lack of ram is definitley part of your problem, 1Gb would be fine for the games you listed, 2Gb would be ideal for BF2 for sure and I suspect for FEAR as well.....however since you didn't list all your components, it is possible that you are also cpu limited, you may be using onboard sound...

    Case Modding Supplies: Aluminium Sheet Metal

    Just go to Aircraft Spruce & Specialty they will sell all types of aluminum at good prices, and you can get them shipped in 2 X 4 or larger sheets. For your case you may want to use some "L" stock to reinforce the corners, I'd reccomend some Alclad 2024-T3, in .032 or .040 thickness, 7075 would...

    Higher end Socket 478 with P4 3.0C

    I would reccomend the Asus P4C800-E Deluxe over the P4PXX which seems to be suffering from some bad southbridge chips affecting the front usb ports.....the P4C800-E deluxe does not have this issue and is an excellent mobo in combo with your cpu, also and excellent OC'er

    How old were you on your first build?

    1998 when I was 27, I built my very first comp from the ground up ! Though I'd been "messing" with them since 1982...an Apple IIc and Comodore PET in Jr. HS....ah, life before windows !

    Recommendations on some hardware?

    The NEC burner is a good one, so is the Plextor 716... as for mfp's anything by Epson (first choice) or HP in your price range would do very well overall.

    How much voltage is too much

    That would depend on what memory you have, it would also be easier to supply that voltage using the ocz booster, provided your mobo is on the compatability list. Not all memory responds to higher voltage (Mushkin redline for example loves more voltage)

    What are 20-24 pin adapters for, and why do people use them?

    Newer mobo's (socket 775 etc.) require a 24 in connector to supply power to the motherboard, older mobo's (socket 478 etc) required a 20 pin connector. These connectors are found on the power supplies....older spec power supplies came with the 20 pin connector, nessitating the need for a 20 pin...

    another case thread, but not exactly for myself

    For a little bit more ($99) you could get the Antec Sonata II its very quiet, very good cooling (without the cpu duct) and comes with a decent psu (450W)

    Cleaning my glass laptop screen

    I also use a damp microfibre cloth, however a clean damp unprinted cotton cloth will do in a jam...you can find the microfibre cloth at most computer stores, comp-usa etc. Paper towels can scratch your screen.

    Which motherboard Asus P5WD2 or Intel D955XBK?

    That's true, the Asus mobo and the Intel mobo you list are both excellent mobo's...however if you have absolutely no intention of ever overclocking go with they Intel mobo, there'll be less to tweak with in the bios and drive you nuts.

    Zalman VF700-Cu vs NV Silencer

    I have an Asus V9999GT videocard, and would like to improve the cooling over the stock cooler on the card. I already have a Zalman VF700-Cu from my older card. Of the two choices: Zalman VF700-Cu vs NV Silencer, which one would offer the best cooling.

    Best video card w/BF2

    sounds like you have two issues, I suspect that your current video card is overheating.....and as for your ghosting, chances are you are using a LCD flat screen with more than a 8ms response time in which case changing video cards would not resolve that

    Does Intel take a big hit via 4x512mb DDR2?

    Yes you will see a 3-5% loss in performance, you will run without PAT and at 2T timings, nor will you be able to OC as well as if you had just 2 X 512. It will also require you to up the ddr ref voltage up from what ever you are at now to say 2.75 or 2.85 to remain stable, which may or may not...

    Cell phone headsets... Why one ear only?

    Chances are you will be using such devices while driving....thus you need to be able to hear what is happening on the road. There is no need to hear a phone convo in stereo (your regular house phones are mono)

    Is this too much voltage?

    It is not uncommon for Corsair memory to require more voltage than they advertise, but expecting a 1gig module to OC.....thats not likely to get much better since 1gig dimms don't OC well, I'd clock it down to 217 and enjoy the slight OC and stability. I doubt you will have any issues running...

    Help me choose some RAM

    FYI....if you read the Mushkin website, it clearly states that the redline modules require a system that can supply 3.1V+. Of course you could always use the OCZ Booster if need be. You will also need adequate cooling if you do go that route.

    Case fan question

    I have a 6070....the rear fan is an exhaust fan, the two in the front pull in cool air ! they are quiet fans, and I have since replaced them with panaflo H1A's....keeps the noise down but ups the airflow...I have no problem with cooling now ! Just remember the intake is under the front usb ports...
