My i7-3930k pulls 130w and my video card pulls about 150w. Not to mention the other peripherals such as my liquid cooler and whatnot. Part of this is just trying to justify spending money on another toy to play with while seeing actual savings in the long run :D
Were those 720 or 1080p streams? From what I have read it is recommended to have 2,000 PassMark score per 1080p stream and that processor gets just over 2,000. There is a newer version now, the A4-6300 which gets 2,200
I'm looking to transfer my Plex server to a new box so that I can let my gaming rig sleep. I figure if I spend less than $400 or so on the machine I would pay off the cost of the machine in electricity savings within a year or so.
I'm looking at building in a case like this one or similar...
Currently running an i7 3930k on an ASRock X79 Extreme6. My only bottleneck is my graphics card which is probably 5 years old at this point. Radeon HD5870.
Looking to play a few newer games and i'm just looking for the best bang for my buck around $200. I'm a bit out of the loop so any...
Thank you! I've seen that board mentioned a lot around the web, I wasn't sure if the H50 was compatible with this board as I know some have board components that get in the way.
One other quick question, what is regarded as the best thermal paste nowadays? is it still AS5 or Artic Silver...
I have a Q6600 G0 that i'm looking to OC to full potential. I believe i'm pretty set on going with the Corsair H50 cooler, although I will take opinions. What i'm really looking for is opinions on the motherboard, and whether I should keep the RAM I have, order some more, or completely replace...

The adata ram is 4-4-4-12 and is at the normal price
The G.Skill is 5-5-5-15 and has $40 Instant Savings.
Why is the G.Skill priced at twice the price...
Just a quick teaser for now, for some reason it came out horribly, probably because of the lack of flash/light in the room. This is my setup in my dorm room. From left to right; Samsung SyncMaster710MP 17" LCD/TV on a desk mout LCD arm, 2gb ipod nano, 15.4" 2ghz MBP with 2gb of ram and 120gb HD...

Check the PSU, coudl very well be the issue. Repaired a computer for a customer with a bad psu, brought it back a month later because the system was still acting up, ended up the motherboard was hit too, more than likely a power surge which hit both components.
So, I get home last night and my laptop (Acer Aspire) turns on, but I get nothing on the screen...tried playing with the brightness, taking out the battery and replacing...and whatnot...nothing...Im about to try with an external monitor...but I believe i have to actualy get into windows to set...
I work at Staples and many stores only have 1 or two of these in stock...so definately hurry over..Most stores actually replaced this with the 1400w...i know mine did...so after this it's all clearancing out...But clearance price will more than likely be higher than $50
I set up a Linksys WRT54G for my neighbors, but I left the default password and username (Thought both were blank default, or atleast user=administrator)...Well i guess someone hacked into the router or whatnot and changed the wep...and possibly username/pass...is my only option to hard reset...
Thats actually a canon powershot a75...it takes amazing pictures...and what you see there is sysmetrix....customized the heck outta it...and i changed the icons and things...will post another screenie tommorow...
I have two win2kpro desktops networked together on a linksys wireless router, which can see eachother. acess shared files and whatnot. I just purchased a laptop, and when i go to My Network Places, i cannot see the network/the two desktops. However, from the desktops I can see the laptop, but it...
Tried mapping the drive and it will not let me...Says i dont have priveleges...but it also says that for my own network..so thre's something not set right somewhere...
Oh and one more thing...When im connected to my own router...how can i view my two desktops through My Network Places...Through my desktops (running 2kpro) i can see both desktops, and i could see the laptop at one time, currently cannot, I'm not used to windows xp, is there anything more i have...
Just last night i was on my laptop and a random network suddenly popped up...now i dont live in a very tightly packed area, and i'd believe that with a simple wireless router there's only one house that would reach me if they had WiFi..I only have neighbors on one side of my house...Is there any...
The hard drive is maxtor, all staples sells...yep...i'll be up and at staples 5:30 tommorrow morning...but i'm not buying anything...i have to friggin work...lol...if you have any more questions about stuff i'll be watching this thread and give you a heads up
