  1. Question Will my 2012 Corsair AX850w PSU power the evga FTW3 RTX 3080 w/3 8-pin connectors?

    EDIT - A month after this post the PS started making a strange noise. Still, 7 years seems like a fair run for a power supply. No great, but fair.
  2. Question Electric buzzing noise from PSU under load

    Thank you all for your responses. It is most definitely not the fan or GPU. I have the PS out of the case right now and you can see that the fan goes on and off as it needs to. The fan is silent and the sound is localized , I think, to a big yellow wrapped coil in the PS. It is not a high...
  3. Question Electric buzzing noise from PSU under load

    I have never heard a coil whine before, so I don't know what it sounds like. My power supply is making a noise like electricity making an arc whenever my GPU kicks in. It seems to run fine. Everything looks fine, I can't see anything abnormal under operation. The fan goes on and off...
  4. Question Will my 2012 Corsair AX850w PSU power the evga FTW3 RTX 3080 w/3 8-pin connectors?

    I have a corsair HX1050 powering a i7 4770k and a 1070ti that has been going for 7 years now. They do make a decent power supply.
  5. Discussion Use of an 8 pin to 2 X 8 pin adapter with an older PS and newer GPU - Help!

    I would point out that history is repeating itself and the exact same thing is going on again right now with the new 12-pin power connector on high end Nvidia video cards. The new cards come with an adapter for older power supplies to connect the 2 x 6+2 to a single 12 pin output. Is that not...
  6. Discussion Use of an 8 pin to 2 X 8 pin adapter with an older PS and newer GPU - Help!

    So, on another site's forums, someone came in asking "what could go wrong" if he used an 8 pin to 2 X 8 pin adapter with an older PS. His GPU needed 2 x 8 pin and his power supply has one 6+2 pin available. The moderator said that because his PS didn't have the native 2 x 8 pin, he should buy...

    I would love to have the M.2. SSD. It is super sexy and I have a laptop with an M.2. port that currently has a conventional rotating hard drive. What an upgrade! I would also love to have the 6TB drive as a storage drive for my main desktop. I have backups scattered across a couple of...
  8. GTX 980 ti vs GTX 970 + 144hz Monitor vs GTX 970x2 SLI

    I have two computers running side by side that my buddy and I play BF4 on. Mine is a i7 4770K with a GTX980 and 24" 144 Hz g-sync enabled monitor. The other is a i7 970 with a GTX 780 on a 28" 144 hz monitor. The effect of g-sync is so striking, that when I switch computers the difference in...

  11. Destroy my build - $3,000 gaming setup

    Also, I love the Samsung 840 pro, I have one. However, with modern games getting bigger and bigger, 256GB isn't that much space. You do not want to keep your games on a seperate data drive (especially a mechanical drive even the raptor), they will load slower. The best performance comes from...
  12. Destroy my build - $3,000 gaming setup

    If the focus of your machine is gaming first and foremost, then you should get a monitor with 120hz or 144hz refresh rate. The monitors you are looking at have a 60hz refresh rate. You essentially need a 3D monitor, although true gamers don't play in 3D, they use those monitor because of the...
  13. Are kids moving away from PCs?

    I got my kids the acer and samsung chromebooks. I wanted them to have a keyboard so they could create content and not just consume it. They were cheap, $199 and $249 respectively. So far so good. They have been using them to learn how to use a computer. The android operating sdytem is easy...
  14. where to find ducky keyboards

    I bought the Ducky 9008G2 at Microcenter. I must say, after owning the Corsair G90 with cherry red and a Rosewill with cherry brown, the Ducky with the cherry blacks are my favorite so far. FYI a beer dump in teh keyboard killed the corsair and Rosewill just died by itself after two weeks.
  15. Why not desktop system for enterprise applications?

    These users are creating and saving Microfost word documents and excel docuemnts. Thats pretty much it. We may have one machine begin scanning files to save them digitally - not sure of what format yet. As far as I can figure, this machine should be more than enough. As far as reliability...
  16. Why not desktop system for enterprise applications?

    I just ordered the parts for this system at work to be a file server for about 10 people: Cables - CABLE HD COOLMAX SATA 18" 2H GRN% - OEM (Qty=2,Price=$5.80) Motherboard - MSI K8N NEO4 PLATINUM NF4ULTRA R - Retail (Qty=1,Price=$142.00) CPU - AMD 64 3000+ ATHLON 64 939 - Venice core...
  17. K8N Neo2 Platinum 1 GB mem @ 1T or 2 GB mem @ 2T?

    Oh actually I did see a difference - After running memtest I was getting errors on 2GB at 2-2-2-6 2T. Now I am back to 1GB staring my expensive new useless memory :(
  18. K8N Neo2 Platinum 1 GB mem @ 1T or 2 GB mem @ 2T?

    Oh I screwed up. I had 2 x 512 crucial ballistix running dual channel 2-2-2-6, 1T settings @ 2.8 V. I figured, wow this memory is so fast and so awesome I'm gonna get 2 more sticks for $233. I plugged them in and I got a keyboard error on boot. Couldn't even get to BIOS without uninstalling...
  19. Going from 98 to XP - application backup/transfer possible?

    Hey fern is that true if the office machine is p3 400 and the new machine is a XP3000?
  20. Extremely slow from the start

    It seems like the processor isn't even running at full speed or something else is screwed up in the BIOS. Did you run CPUID.exe to verify your processor speed? HD tach to verify your HD speed? Is your FSB and voltage for memory and processor set correctly in bios? Something is definitely...

    I have a Win98SE machine and a XP home machine. Is it possible to backup or transfer installed applications that I no longer have the original installation CD for? Regular Apps like Office or custom apps like a medical billing program? I have many methods of transferring data between them...

    Not encrypted, not wiped at shutdown. Its a multi disk system. I was running the swapfile on G: and the OS on C:. After a hardware related RAID failure, the OS was restored to an earlier time along with all documents. The swapfile defaulted to C: leaving the G: swapfile untouched. The...

  29. 7% drive storage penalty for mirroring RAID1? Sound right?

    So you think the difference between the 6.5% reduction and the 6.9% reduction is attributable to the manufacturing differences between Maxtor and Western Digital? The website for the Raptors indicates a formatted capacity of 74,356MB. 7% of that is 69,151 MB, which is what I have BUT...
  30. 300 GB Maxtor One Touch II, 16MB buffer - FireWire v. USB2.0

    I was mistaken, the drive does not support 1394b, rather it supports i.link which is the mac equivalent of firewire. Hmm, this model just came out, I am surprised that they didn't incorporate the new technology. Especially since they went to the effort of putting 3 ports on the back of the thing.
  31. 300 GB Maxtor One Touch II, 16MB buffer - FireWire v. USB2.0

    If anyone wants to send me a FWb add in card to test this drive with I will benchmark it and send it back to you. The drive does support the next gen FW. Hmm, yea like anyone is going to do that.
  32. suddenly can't access shared folders...

    Yea I got the same thing after I installed the new AVG anti-virus software. The fix linked to by fardringle did not fix my problem. I wound up uninstalling AVG and going with Avast instead.
  33. 7% drive storage penalty for mirroring RAID1? Sound right?

    I have a K8n Neo2 Platinum with: 2 X 74 GB SATA Western digital raptor drives @ 10,000 rpm running in RAID 1 with the onboard RAID. I only have one partition and windows XP pro reports it as 69.2 GB which is 93.5% of 74 GB. I am also now running a 4 x ATA133 80 GB Maxtor diamond max 740...

  35. 300 GB Maxtor One Touch II, 16MB buffer - FireWire v. USB2.0

    N.B. Also posted in Highly Technical (still 1st page) and General Hardware (waaay lost) I deceided to get a Maxtor One Touch 300 GB externaml hard drive. This thing can handle either USB 2.0 or 1394 Fire Wire. So, to satisfy my own curiusity, I decided to benchmark the drive using...
  36. 300 GB Maxtor One Touch II, 16MB buffer - FireWire v. USB2.0

    I originally posted this in General Hardware, but there were so many new posts, that this wound up on page 3 before there were 20 reads - thats why I posted it here. I will re-post it in peripherals though. I found this so interesting that I was surprised I got no feedback on the General...
  37. 300 GB Maxtor One Touch II, 16MB buffer - FireWire v. USB2.0

    I used HDTach v. 3.0.1.0. I used the "short test" for all these comparisons.
  38. Will RAM ever replace the hard drive?

    This is absolutely correct. The fact that a hard drive has moving parts is exactly what will doom it as a technology. As bus speeds, processor speeds, and RAM speeds continue to increase, the bottleneck will ultimately be the physical rotation and mechanical reading of a disk substrate. As...
