*** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

All, I just recently received my DS3 Rev 2.0 from Newegg. I will be installing with an Intel E6600, 2 GB of Patriot DDR2 800 memory, one SATA hard drive, and one DVD-R writer on the IDE connection. I will do absolutely no overclocking and this will be a Vista Home Premium install. Are there...

nForce2 Motherboard Questions

For what it's worth, I ended up getting the Aopen AK79D-Max. Also bought an IDE to SATA converter to compliment the third IDE channel that comes on the board. I'm not big into overclocking, other than perhaps minimally challenging my system. My goal is to build a quiet PC, and to do that I'll...

Computer Show May 3&4

I live in northern Japan, nothing but farmers and not a true computer store to be found. I'd give my left n*t for a true computer show, and although it'd be fun haggling, I'd just enjoy buying something I truly need rather than searching for a place that will ship to APO addresses at prices I'm...

nForce2 Motherboard Questions

First the not-so-serious subject. I was also looking at the Chaintech, price is a little high. Aopen makes the AK7ND-MAX passive-cooled nForce2 board with an extra IDE channel, looking at that now. Anyone have any experiences with this board? On a serious note, if what you believe to be true of...

nForce2 Motherboard Questions

Thanks for the tip on the nForce site. I'm checking it out now. Really surprised at the curiousity at my handle. If you're Iowans I can understand it, and if from Iowa hopefully Hawkeye vs. Cyclone fans! Thanks again for the help. hawkeyeJN

nForce2 Motherboard Questions

Thanks for the response, I'll check into that board. Glad to hear you haven't heard of an nForce2 whine. As for my handle, I use hawkeye since I'm orginally from Iowa, and JN since I'm now living in Japan. Hawkeye is almost always already taken, so just looking for a variation of it.

nForce2 Motherboard Questions

All, I'm heavily leaning toward purchasing an nForce2 motherboard to replace my current GA-7VAXP. Before I do, respectfully solicit input from this forum on the following questions. 1. First of all, I need at least one RAID connection I can use as an IDE controller to support two additional...

nForce2 Board and PCI ATA Controller

All, I'm looking to upgrade my KT400 board to a new nForce2 board. Despite the rave reviews on the nForce2 I'm loathe to give up the great integrated ATA/RAID controller I have on my GA-7VAXP, and the four extra ATA channels it gives me. Since there's a dearth of on-board RAID/ATA controllers...

3-Pin, 80mm Fans

All, I'm looking for 3-pin 80mm fans that will attach to the motherboard connector to run my CPU fan. I also plan on using them to mod my PSU to make it quieter, as well as a case fan attached to the MB case fan pin. As I'm looking for something near silent or quiet, I hope to keep it 20dB or...
