Thanks. The 1156 board I have has LGA775 holes too, and I have a 775 bracket that matches the look of that bracket, but I've tried for the last 45 minutes to mount it but the screws aren't long enough.. I'll just have to look around for this specific bracket.. thanks!
My friend gave me a Corsair H50 cooling unit.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835181010
It came with nothing to mount to though, and no screws. I currently have an LGA1156 motherboard with no mounting bracket (using stock i3 cooler)...
I put in a ticket to corsair to see what...
What you're saying def makes sense. I'll have to look at the Xeon to IB comparisons..
You're right I should try this i3 on for size since it's no further cash investment, to see what I get out of it and make the decision from there and buy me some time. Part of why I've been considering the...
This is what I am debating every day until the i3 arrives in the mail. Would a 3g i5 quad core cut my renders in half or more compared to the 1g i3 dual core? (This claim can be implied from what Sleepingforest said in the other thread I started...) If it really will then this is what really...
Sorry didn't mean to sound impatient... I was just saying that it's a tall order. Thanks for you input. Edit: unfortunately that board won't cut it for me as I need 4 ram slots.
Can anybody describe to me what the immense difference would be for my photography editing experience if I added an...
Well after shopping I understand why i shouldn't get much response here... Best I could come up with for what seemed a decent situation with Intel (without adding a card as TM suggested) is $277. With a 6670 g-card my total is $356 ($346 after rebate). It's a good exercise anyway...
This is a segway thread from my last thread... Basically I shined on getting a used LGA1156 45nm i7 cpu to finish my upgrade and am now considering completing my upgrade with a more current cpu/mobo.
My main intensive use of computer these days is image editing (16-bit raw files etc) and the...
I got into this situation by trading a bit of web design time for some hardware with a friend. He initially gave me an AMD setup that didn't work (either bad cpu or mobo not sure which one), so then he offered me the i3 if I bought a socket 1156 board and memory for it. Without really...
I haven't upgraded in ages (still on core 2 duo) and am about to finally take a step up.
I have all my components for an LGA1156 build except the CPU. I am waiting for a friend to send me a new Core i3-550 that I traded with him for some web design work.
In the mean time I came across a...
Itunes is pure evil for those of us who like to do things our own ways.. Itunes is so damn restrictive and controlling.. As with everything Apple, they aim to make it their way or the highway as much as possible..
I won an ipod in a raffle or I would have never even bothered trying it until...
ok fine.. after all these years of using irfanview for the easy stuff and faststone not looking like much on the cover so not trying it, i'll go ahead and take it for spin..
Well I am about to break down and buy a new board, and definitely from another manufacturer.. sheesh... I rma'd my non-posting p5b deluxe wifi/ap and two weeks later they sent me a plain used p5b deluxe in return, trying to pass it as a wifi (it said wifi on the sheet, but was just a used...
Trying to decide what is the best route to take from here.. My system was fine then just died out of the blue the other day... Now it won't post no matter what I do. At first the fans wouldn't even spin, so I got another (used) PSU... Now the fans occasionally will spin when I power on, but not...
