The Power Supply Thread

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere in these 9 pages... Should I be concerned if my hardware monitor shows an undervoltage of roughly 0.05V on the the 3.3V and +5.0V rails and ~0.22V on the +12V rail? Vcore is under by 0.04V. Are these within normal tollerances or should I look for a...

IRQ Help...

Thanks for the input everyone. Here are the measures I've taken so far: - Disabled both IEEE 1394 Controllers since I was only using one Firewire device which I can use with USB anyway - Disabled the second NIC since I no longer have two internet connections - Disabled the communications...

IRQ Help...

I use my PC mostly for flight simulation. For the sake of "realism", I like to have my cockpit sounds coming from my surround sound speakers (Audigy 2) and the radio (TeamSpeak) coming through my headphones (Onboard). This requires two sound cards.

IRQ Help...

Using both... one for surround sound the other for TeamSpeak so I can have a seperate radio channel through my headphones only. What concerned me most was that my Gfx card is sharing with two other devices... shouldn't such an important component have it's own?

IRQ Help...

I've run into the IRQ_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL blue screen of death a few times trying to play Civ IV and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. I checked out the IRQ's in the hardware manager and this is what I have. Seems to me there are some conflicts here (IRQ16, 19, 21?). I do not feel comfortable...

Preferred online retailers?

www.neutroncanada.com, bought a joystick from them, good service. I went with NCIX for the system I just bought though.

question about hard drives

So how does one take advantage of the advertised 150MB/sec bandwidth of SATA drives, vs the ~50MB/sec I get with my current drives in Sandra's benchmarks? Also, my current drives have a 2MB cache, will having an 8MB cache provide noticeable differences. My apologies if all this is explained in...

question about hard drives

I'll post my question here, instead of creating my own thread that will get a single reply and then dissapear for eternity serving only the purpose of cluttering up Anandtech's databases. I'm upgrading my system... Currently I have 2 IDE Hard drive's. One 40 (system disk) and one 80 (apps...

Its a Dell but geez!

Building your own is the way to go I think. right now I'm looking at saving $500-700CAD by doing so and you have the benefit of knowing EXACTLY what is going into your system. I'm also building an A64 system right now. The only thing with building your own system is the time it takes to do some...

Need to choose a s939 mobo...

Yeah, the MSI board looks good too, a little more expensive than the others, but If thats what it takes to get the quality I'm looking for I don't mind paying extra. What is the meaning of 1T? I've come across the terminology in my research but nothing that explains it.

Need to choose a s939 mobo...

hmm... I was pretty much sold on the gigabyte (I'm also buying a gigabyte 6800 GT) but came across several posts warning of severe compatibilty issues. When I checked it didn't support 4x DIMMs @ DDR400 either, I'll check again though. The SLI boards are too expensive for my needs right now, and...
