Hey guys, can any owners of the GB Z170N-Gaming 5 Mini Itx board confirm for me if there is a power LED that lights up on the motherboard itself when the power cable is connected to it but the PC hasn't been turned on ?
Like to indicate power is flowing through ? I already swapped PSU's so i...
Thanks. Ok is it wiser to attempt to RMA via Gigabyte or just purchase a brand new one from newegg ? (it is passed 30 days though so can no longer exchange)
Also, I don't believe my particular board has a power LED so can't really tell if power is flowing through (Z170N Gaming 5 but feel free...
Thanks rat. Sorry diagnosed which component as defective, CPU or motherboard ?
I actually already tried with and without the RAM sticks. Both yield the same results so I have already ruled that RAM out pretty much since well, the PC should still at least turn on even without RAM i would...
Hey guys, so I recently built a new skylake based mini itx system 2 months ago. It was working absolutely perfectly until a few days ago, all of a sudden it would no longer turn on. I'm talking about a completely dead system, where when I press the power button, I don't get any signs of life at...
Ok great thanks, I guess I will try installing the new PSU first just to rule out nothing nefarious going on there. I guess it probably doesn't hurt anyway, i'm moving from the Silverstone SX600-G of questionable quality to a Seasonic G 650RM which while larger, seems to have gotten much better...
Hey guys, was there any definitive answer on what is the culprit for the freezes ?
I'm actually have very similar issues. I'm running everything on stock, no changes whatsoever in the bios or any overclocking/xmp. When booting into the desktop, I would get random freezes, like say the...
Hey guys, so I've tried the following additional steps since:
1. RMA'ed the motherboard, and went for the Gigabyte Gaming 5 instead. Same freezing issues persist so I think we can rule out the mobo being defective.
2. Installed my EVGA 980 TI and switched to using the discrete GPU via...
Hi guys, I recently built a new skylake mini itx gaming pc using the silverstone sx-600g power supply but am having the following issues.
I have installed all the latest intel and gigabyte drivers and even flashed bios to F5.
1. Occasionally when I turn on the PC, I get no hdmi video...
Hi guys, I recently built a new skylake mini itx gaming pc using this powersupply but am having the following issues. I have installed all the latest intel and gigabyte drivers and even flashed bios to F5.
1. Occasionally when I turn on the PC, I get no hdmi video output from the onboard...
Thanks, unforutnately im using a node 304 case which i don't believe allows me to access the bottom panel so easily with the motherboard already mounted. Anyone who owns this please correct me if im wrong however.
Second time builder here, with the first time coming about 10 years ago ;) so...
Hey guys, so I recently got a skylake intel cpu socket 1151 and a cryorig h7 cpu cooler. Im a bit afraid of the installation process.
So i understand the steps are:
Install backplate underneath motherboard, and screw in 4 screws which point upwards. Then flip back over, install the 4...
there are suppose to be new revisions of amd 64 winchester chips that add see3 support among other things. when are those chips expected to appear on sale?
hey guys. i very recently bought a maxtor diamondmax 9 series 160gb hard drive. ive been using it for about 3 weeks and ive been having no problems until just suddenly today.
the session began normally, everything posted and i even got into windows. i surfed for a bit and then when i went to...
i have a samsung 150n and when i scroll across a page of text, especially against a white background makes the words look blurry. what is causing this?
hey guys. my friend recently gave me his 150n monitor for free, so hey i wasn't going to decline. its been used for over a year, on the back it says it was manufactured in january 03. i checked with all the settings and looked hard for any dead pixels and i didn't find one.
but there is one...
is right now a bad time to get a lcd monitor? especially with all those emerging technologies on the horizon like oled, lower response time, etc (or whatever is coming up). are the prices on lcd monitors about as low as they will get in the next say 3-4 months?
i ask this because i am...
Staples has a great deal in their weekly flyer on this monitor. Samsung 712N 449.98- $50 Instant rebate - $50 mail in rebate= 349.94. This sounds like a really super deal. Does anybody have this monitor and how do you like?
respond asap because this deal is only on for this week. thanks.
I currently have a P4 system with the specs as follows:
P4 1.6ghz
512MB PC2100 Ram
80GB ATA 100 HD
Radeon 9000 non pro
i really want a fast computer now and i'm considering to build a socket 754 box but then i look on the horizon and amd has all its good stuff coming up. Nforce 4, 90nm...
the debate is arguable. 1mb cache vs 200mhz clockspeed difference. both have their advantages and disadvantages.
in any case, clawhammers seem harder to come by with each passing day, so sooner or later you will be forced to buy the newcastle version.
When will the athlon 64 winchester chips based on 90nm be released? And what new features/capabillities will they have over their 130nm predeccesor? And how much can i expect to pay for them when they are released?
That is a nice system but i would consider getting a better video card. Even the 9800XT's can't cut it these days, let alone the pro's. The video card would the main component that will bottleneck your system in benchmarks. Everything else looks fine.
nice post you got there amdinside :)
you broke it down very nicely for a newbe like me who wants to know everything about the nforce 4.one question. did the chinese site say anything about when we can expect it to hit the shelves?
i certainly know how you are feeling. Im in a similar situation myself :(
For me, im not rich just a regular hs student so the fx is unfourtantely not a viable option for me. A price of one of those fx series processors might as well be the cost of my entire computer :) .
My dilema is...
from the looks of it, ill definetely be purchasing my monitor from dell.com. newegg seems to have horrible return policies.
about those dell sales: how often do those dell sales come? any word on when the next one will be?
about the coupons: i see on ebay that there are people selling...
ok guys, i know this monitor has been a very hot topic around the display forums for the past month but i think i will be getting this monitor. I have two choices to order from, newegg or dell.
Newegg sells it for 499.99+18 shipped= 520
Dell sells it for 513 +free ship=513
Now a difference...
gosh all these debates...... i just want one clear cut winner and be settled with it. Even though i have 500 dollars to plump on a lcd monitor, i can't seem to peacefully choose which one without having second thoughts...
i guess this is the time where actually seeing them two in person will...
this may sound funny but metal gear solid 1 was scary. If any of you guys have a psx, you would know what im talking about. You would try to be as stealthily as you can but then suddenly a guard sees you and your controller rumbles and makes a loud "doon" sound. Makes my heart jump up a few...
how many of you guys on this forum own this monitor? What do you think of it? Currently, im looking for a 17 inch monitor that has excellent picture quality.
the thought of asus finally making a nforce 3 motherboard got my hands sticky but now i'm reading problems about overclocking it past 220 across many forums. it seems to hit the 220 wall regardless of whatever you do. Is there any word on whether this is fixed in the latest bios release? Can a...
