I'm building a new comp and want to use my old PSU that was working fine. There was a bit of coil whine on my comp with it when I bought a new 1080 so I swapped it out. Now that i'm building another one i'm thinking about using it again since i'm on a lowish budget.
I bought a power supply...
I'm building PC for my gf and need help with some choices. I would like to keep the motherboard under $90-100. I won't be doing any overclocking on it.
I5 4460
Memory: Crucial DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148465 ( Upgrading to 16gb later)...
Oh and get this, when I connected a 4pini into the cpu slot, it went on and stayed on. Then I powered it off and it did the same thing again. It's really strange.. Even after I re-arranged my memory once, it stayed on. Then I tried turning it off and putting it back on and it went back to the...
Okay so I got the new motherboard put in but now there's another problem. The computer powers on for a quick second then powers off. I ripped my working PSU and memory out of my working computer (both ddr3) and it still does the same thing. I bought a used board off ebay, so i'm not sure if it's...
HSF was the standard intel one, so it's pretty light. When the PSU fries peoples mobo's/CPU isn't the PSU dead afterwards, or can it still fry it and appear fine afterwards? Have you ever tried powering on a motherboard without a cpu installed? I really hope it's just the mobo. I ordered an MSI...
Thank you for the replies. I don't see any visible damage. I tried re-plugging everything back in and it still doesn't go back on. I also tried replacing the power switch with the reset switch. Is it possible that the motherboard can just be fried then? Also I read somewhere that some mobo's...
Alright so the computer fell about a foot. It was on when it fell and when it was picked up it turned off. It won't turn on at all, not even a slight power up. I got a power supply tester today and the tester showed the PSU as fine and healthy. I'm now in the process of rebuilding it. I ordered...
Hello all, so i'm looking to upgrade my comp a bit. Currently my specs are:
two 23" asus monitors Nvidia 660ti I7 4790k 16gb Memory
Currently I have $600 credit with dell.com and I can either get a monitor or a video card from them.
Currently i'm looking at these options...
Well it's a small double door closet and the doors will be open for the closet, so the hot air will be blowing out into the hallway.
Even if I get better cooling or more fans, same amount of heat will blow out. The only solution I would think is to get a better power supply, but the one I have...
Hey there, my computer is an i7 and I have a gaming case as well. It always generated heat for a while now so my solution is to move the desktop itself into a closet in the hallway outside of the room its in. Basically i'm thinking about buying a usb extension cable then a hub and keeping my...
Thank you, I'll go with the cheaper memory. Going to order the parts tomorrow, hope it all works out good. Thanks a bunch for the help. Really appreciated.
Thank you for a cheaper link.
I took a look at your link and noticed that the g.skill is ddr3-1866 vs ddr3 2400mhz. The $70 price hike isn't worth the extra mhz? Eventually in a year or two I might want to pop another one in there for 24GB of memory, unless if it will be overkill at the time...
I don't think I need that big of a ssd. I have a lot of regular storage drives, about 3TB total.
Also, how about this memory instead of the 8gb?
http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengea...dr3+2400+2x8gb
With the memory above and without the ssd, it comes to $645. How about this for a 500gb ssd...
Below is a link to my stuff, along with a Q6600 @ 3ghz and 8gb of memory. Should make things easier for you guys. The oldest thing there is the ssd, everything else was purchased around the same time in early/mid 2013. Thanks for the help.
The 970 is nice, but if I can hold onto the 660ti for a...
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
Gaming, MMO's, FPS and RPGs.. highest possible settings.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
about $800-900 tops.. less would be better.
3. What...
So I went to install a new game and for some reason my F10 key wouldn't bind when I re-installed vent the other day. I have a G19 keyboard and wanted to bind it to one of my side G keys (F10). I noticed that for some odd reason I couldn't get my F10 key to bind alone in vent, or even in another...
Sup guys, just have a quick question if someone can help.
I'm going to buy http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250957475023
but it is a laptop SSD. Do you guys think this will work in my desktop comp? Support wise I have a p5k deluxe that supports 3gb/s So that should be...
After the big success and the huge sales of dual core cpu's. Do you guys think AMD/INTEL will stop making dual core anytime soon? Also don't forget the future games that will support multitasking.
I ran memory test, it comes built into the lanparty. Got 0 errors. I'm going to try it with my corsair pc-3200 1gig memory and will see if it keeps happening. I used a 80$ antec I got off of newegg, that one had a fan that wasnt working in it. I thought that was the problem so i swapped to the...
My comp keeps rebooting itself when I multitask, my mobo is running at about 40c, cpu at about 37c under full load. It used to freeze but now it just reboots itself.
specs: opteron 165, dfi lanparty sli, g.skill extreme ddr500, evga 7800gt
Anyone have any ideas? I tried a new power supply...
Already changed my power supply, its not that. Also it isnt the heat because it happens when nothing was overclocked as well. cpu runs at 29c idle and my motherboard runs cool also. Right now i'm guessing its the sound card because I heard there are issues with creative cards mixed with nf4...
Figured it out I think. Am able to overclock without lockups. The power supply fan went out. This was the first day I put it in also. It originally had 2 fans, the back one was not on. That explains it I guess ;\
edit: Guess that isnt the problem, sigh. Whenever I OC and go into this game my...
Put together my rig today. It worked good till I wanted to OC it. Whenever I OC it just a lil it becomes very unstable and my windows start to freeze about 1 hour into say anything CPU heavy (game for example). Does anyone know good timings for my ram?
setup:
mobo- DFI lanparty
cpu-...
Ditch the lanparty? I probably wont. I am focused on ocing. That mobo has had great feedback from a lot of friends and a lot of people on this forum. Also, i'm going to want SLI eventually anyway.
I dont really like to spend over 100$ on psu's. I'm thinking of getting:
Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 ATX12V 550W Power Supply 115/230 V UL, TUV, CB, FCC CLASS B, CUL - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103931
85$ today.
What about the scythe ninja? Also I still cant find a retailer for the opteron 165's in the 350$ range. Does anyone know if there are any stores that will restock before christmas?
