Wow lots of replies.
Probably should have mentioned I don't really have much to spend on a whole new computer. <$100
I think it would be a better choice to get a new system as well but an upgrade of some sort will have to do I guess.
Yea she's only gonna use it for internet, essays...
Hello everyone. As the title says I need some help.
My little sister is going away for college soon and needs a computer of some sort. This is pretty much a handmedown system.
The system specs are:
AMD Athlon XP 1600+ Skt A
MSI K7N2 Delta 2 FSR
512 MB DDR133
Geforce TI200
30GB...
Yea instead of using a backplate, ASRock decided to use 4 screws to hold down the retention clip. I wasnt expecting much from this motherboard, it was a budget mobo.
Just another quick question, are backplates universal for all k8 sockets? I found a bunch of stores that used to have them but...
Hey guys. Wasn't sure where this thread belonged so I stuck it in the general forum.
Well I recently bought a Thermaltake Big Typhoon off ebay. Was about to install it just today but realized when I took off my mobo, that it did not have a backplate. And the BT did not come with one...
Hmm...Not sure what is rare. Well if old counts as rare then I got a a few haha
Some Intel Pentium chip A80501-60 SX835
AMD-K6-2/350AFR
AMD Am486 DX4-100
Intel Celeron FV80524RX533128
Maxtor 6Y120P0 (122.9GB)
Idle temp 23C
Is my HD reporting a bad temp? o.O Seems to be an oddly low temp...I have a VANTEC HDC502A hard disk cooler btw.
Wow. Everyone's temps are so low. Maybe I shouldn't have used that 5 year old Artic Alumina...
Opteron 144 1.8Ghz stock speed/stock HSfan
40C idle
50C load
and thats on a cool summer night. Gets bad during the day =(
Can anyone tell me if this will be stable enough to overclock a system running an Opteron 144 and a ATI x800? I'm new at this. Not sure how many amps is enough on the 12V rails.
haha, this was supposed to be a budget system too... Didnt realize it would hit my wallet so hard. Cant really afford those $100 power supplies atm so gonna have to go w/ the cheaper solution =p
I guess I'll try both with the adapter and just hanging it of the edge of the connector, see if...
My Asrock motherboard actually uses a 20 pin connector, thats why Im a little afraid to use the adapter. Im not sure what EPS is but that 8pin EPS power connector is supposed to be converted to the 4pin 12volt connector that usually plugs into the motherboard right?(my motherboard requires this...
ooo wait nm. Just saw the review on jonny's site. Seems like it comes with a 24-to-20 pin adapter and a 8-to-4 pin adapter. sorry shoulda looked harder b4 posting. But this brings up another question...these adapters don't go faulty do they? There was that other thread that said something...
One last quick question...I was looking up on that AMS Mercury PSU and noticed on their site that it had a 24+8 pin.
http://www.amselectronics.com/Products/PSU/P4_PSU.html
Newegg says two things, 20+4 pin in the specs section and 24 pin in the features section...
Thats exactly what I intended to do. But with the random freezing and the crappy power supply already in it, I dont want to push it. I currently have a 350W PSU from Raidmax with 15Amps on the 12V rail. I didnt want anything happening so I decided to wait atleast until I got a better PSU...
