Well I use it as a TV also, so if I'm in bed watching tv and I don't feel like getting up it'd be nice to have a remote way to turn it off. As long as it wouldn't damage the monitor I think it'd be the best bet for what I want. I'm fine turning the power off under normal circumstances like...
Currently, I have a 24" westinghouse monitor with hdmi input that won't power down when windows tells it to, it just goes to a blue screen awaiting input. I was thinking about getting a surge protector with a remote control so I could turn it off that way, but I was wondering, would that...
Yeah I tried again with the same results. It's definitely out of my control. I think the sensors might be reporting wrong or something. I highly doubt my 4870 would run cooler than my processor.
I completely rewired the case with much better wire management, reseated the heatsink, and my results are the same or worse. What gives? This makes no sense. I used less than half the paste I used in the first attempt.
coretemp has me at 47 and realtemp has me at 37 haha either way I guess I'll just remount. How should I grease this bad boy up this time? I'm thinking I'll just fill in the areas where the pipes cross the aluminum so it's all flat and even.
While I know they're not dangerous, my e8400 idles at roughly 44C and is about 50-55 under load. I have a core contact freezer, and I think these temps are much higher than they should be. Is it likely that I didn't include enough thermal grease with the heat sink?
I guess it's not really worth it haha I just think it's weird that there's no standard size for the plug. I guess coolermaster could be to blame. I could probably just split the connector down the middle and do it that way. Reversing the + and - won't hurt anything if I mess up right?
The power LED connections don't match. The case has a 2 pin connector, but the motherboard has a 2 pin, 3 wide connector. Is there any kind of adapter that would be cheap to buy or should I just live with non-standard connection sadness?
My comp has been acting not so nice lately, and I checked the temps on my graphics cores. Idling in windows, I get 64C and 79C which I think is way too high. Any idea what could be causing this?
Any idea how much faster intense matlab computation would run on a Q vs an E? A great deal of the work I'll be doing at school involves SSHing into other computers, so there's not too much intense multitasking going on there.
I know it's too early to know the benchmarks of the upcoming cards, but assuming the GTX280 is the performance king for now, which of these is the better use of cash:
Q9450 + DDR2 1066 + GTX260
or
E8400 + DDR2 800/1000 + GTX 280
thanks for your help
I'm talking the 260 at max. I'm not really looking for another 600 dollar heater like my 7950GX2. It really all depends on pricing and benchmarks at the time. If the OCZ really won't cut it, I guess I'll wait and buy corsair like everyone else. Hopefully they'll have a good deal at some point.
So this summer I'm hoping for a new build with a Q9300 or so and one of the new AMD/NVIDIA cards coming out in june. I'm trying to get some deals on other things until then and I was wondering which of these I should go for. I have a Cooler Master 690 case so far. The rest of the rig should...
I'm planning on building a new computer this summer, and I was wondering if there's any idea when the next line of video cards will come out. Am I going to be screwed like last time because the next line will come out November/December? I really don't want to have to put out a lot for a...
I guess what I'd still like to know is why I should choose these smaller PSUs over the one I mentioned:

Given that you say I don't need this much power, what's the harm in having it?
Thanks for your patience with a noob like myself.
When I run Speedfan on my parents computer, which is several years old, it says that the +12V is actually at 6.63 Volts. I have noticed that it is a very touchy computer, and any 3d heavy application crashes it almost instantly. Could the power supply be the problem? It's a crappy 410w supply...
If I had to build it now, I'd have a
6600 quad, 8800GT SLI, a Raptor Drive, and some other stuff.
Newegg's PSU calculator, though probably incorrect, says I'd need ~700 Watts for that. Is that wrong/could the 500 watt PSUs handle that?
I'm planning on building a new computer this summer, and I'm not sure what exactly will be inside it, but I plan on paying about 1200 bucks and getting top of the line stuff and overclocking as much as possible.
Should I wait until then to buy a power supply and get something that exactly...
I have this monitor, and I would mostly agree with that review, but I think it's a little off. I would agree that the menus are annoying and hard to navigate through, but I rarely need to use them, so this isn't a big deal.
Also, the screen turns blue when it's idle, which is not good, but...
