i wanted to build my own computer instead of buying. My dad changed his midn on letting me get a computer because he things that a homebuilt one wouldnt be reliable enough during the school year because a crash could really mess me up. What would you guys say. would a homebuilt computer be as...
What kind of Enermax PSUs are best?
I see noisetakers and "EG465P." Or are they all the same?
I see Enermax EG465P-VE 460W Power Supply for for P4 & AMD K7 Retail for $76 shipped or 65$ unshipped from some other place. It has 33 amps on the 12v+ rail and seems pretty good. What do you guys...
I can get a OCZ Technology PowerStream 420W Power Supply With Adjustable Power Rails With LED Indicators for $86 not shipped.
I used some wattage calculators and im guessing ill need about 350 watts when everything is under full load. Is this PSU good?
Title says it all.
Is the modstream or the powerstream better in terms of performance (not considering that one is modular). Im looking for a stable psu with 24 pins or 20+4... Im pretty sure these are both very good but which one would be better for overclocking. I wouldnt mind going with...
GSKILL 1GB (512MBx2) DDR Dual Channel Kit DDR400 PC3200 (PC3200 2-3-3-6)
Would that be good ram for my system? Is it also a good price?
Also, is it necessary for me to get a 3200+ to overclock to 2.4 ghz? Im planning on getting a Revision E (venice?) athlon 64 and i heard those should be...
So far, this is what ive decided for my computer that i'll be building in june/july.
Retail Athlon 64 3000+ - $146
DFI nforce4 motherboard Lanparty Ultra-D
Radeon X800XL
Seagate SATA 80 GB 8mb 7,200 rpm
OCZ Modstream 450Watts -$89
Corsair 2x512 pc-3200 DDR Cas 2.5 Value Ram - $110
Stock...
Ok. Ive got an OLD OLD OLD geforce 256 32 mb card. It comes stock at 120 mhz clock and 160 clock memory.
I did the coolbits thing in my registry and started upping the memory frequency by 3 and doing a 3dmark01 benchmark test. If it didnt mess up during the benchmark, i pushed it Higher. I...
hmm. does a 20pin with an extra 4pin connector function the same as a single 24pin connector? Im getting a DFI ultra-D and i think DFI suggests using a 24pin instead of a 20pin because 20pin can cause problems, especially when overclocking
Is the OCZ Modular Modstream 450Watt a 20 or 24pin PSU?
Where does it say if tis 20 or 24? I need a 24 pin PSU and can never figure out from the description if its 20 or 24
Im looking for a good stable PSU that i'll be using to overclock my winchester athlon 3000+ ina few months. Ill be getting the DFI NF4 ultra-D and need a 24-pin PSU.
I want something reliable and stable and i heard OCZ are one of the best. I cant find very many 24-pin PSUs...
So...
Hey
Whats the difference between different manufacturers of the x800xl
The chip from shop.ati.com is at $300 while the sapphire and powercolor x800xl are selling for $370... whats the difference between these cards?
ive seen $148.
Athlon 64 3000+ 939 winchester retail $147.47
however, this has a $7 shipping charge. Im not sure how this shipping charge compares with other places.
hmm.. if 20 pin doesnt make a difference then that enermax from above with 33 amps sounds pretty good.
and also where is everybody hearing that newer a64 3000+s arent OCing as high as older weeks?
Ive looked for soem PSUs with a higher amp and its hard to find them for under $75
I found Antec P4 ATX12V 450 Watt Power Supply With 2 Fans selling at places other than newegg for $60-70
It has 20 amps on the +12v rail. would that be good?
Enermax EG465P-VE FMA ATX +12V Ver.1.2 460W Power Supply w/ Fan Speed Adjustable
This website says the specifications of that PSu and it says 33A underneath +12V. does that mean it has 33 amps?? that would be more than enough right?
So i guess ill change my PSU
i dont want to spend too much... currently the thermal take will cost like $38
Im willing to spend $65 or so for a good one. What would you guys suggest?
Heres 2 that i found from enermax... would they would be good? I heard enermax has some pretty good PSUs...
Ill be getting a winchester athlon 64 3000+ and overclocking it. Where would my bottleneck be so i can change it.
Winchester Athlon 64 3000+ with stock heatsink
DFI Lanparts UT NF4 Ultra-D
512mbx2 of Corsair Value Ram PC3200 CL: 2.5
Thermaltake TT420 AD 420 Watt PSU
I'm hoping for...
I found DDR2 256MB PC4200 for $35.
I'll be overclocking my athlon 64 3000+ so this faster memory would help so i wouldnt have to overclock my ram.
Would 4x 256 MB run much slower than 2x 512 DDR PC3200? The 4x 256 would cost me roughly the same amound as the 512x2 PC3200 memory.
So, is...
thats good to know.
So without elevating the voltages and going with my current hsf and thermal compound, how high should I be able to overclock.
Will getting 2 80 mm fans help the performance/overclock at all?
Im thinking about buying an Athlon 64 3000+ socket 939 winchester in a few months and overclocking it to roughly 2.3 or 2.4.
I'll be using a Zalman CNPS7000B as the heatsink with arctic silver 5 as the thermal paste.
I read in the stickied overclocking guide that you shouldn't overclock a...
