GA-H97N-WiFi Won't Hold BIOS Settings

I've done some more testing. I can take a new battery, measure the voltage (3.1-3.2v) put it in the board. Turn the power supply off. Wait for a minute or so. Turn the power supply back on. Take the battery out. Measure the voltage and it will have dropped to 2.7-2.8v. If It seems like...

GA-H97N-WiFi Won't Hold BIOS Settings

So I've got a weird one. Just built a new computer for my sister. Everything worked fine and she was one happy camper. Then someone came over to fix something and turned the power to the house out. When the power came back on, the BIOS settings had been lost. Weird that a MB that is less...

EVGA Rebate going off tomorrow - time for an opinion?

I have a Fry's not too far away (about 30 min or so), but no Microcenter in Seattle. :(

EVGA Rebate going off tomorrow - time for an opinion?

So EVGA has a $30 rebate that ends tomorrow. That puts the EVGA P55 FTW down in the $185 range (with a $10 NewEgg instant rebate). That is in line with Asus P7P55D EVO and Gigabyte P55A-UDP3. I don't tend to overclock and I'm not a big gamer. I do a lot of media editing. I'm planning on...

Moving countries -> 110 to 220

I wired my shop for 240, but outside of a dryer connection, I'm not aware of any 240 plugs inside any house. So you'd have to wire 240 inside. Then, its easy to build a cord to fit the plug. In the US, there are no standard 240 socket configurations (although there are some conventions that...

Moving countries -> 110 to 220

True. I'm not a big gamer and don't overclock. I tend to do media stuff mostly. I have a current X1950XT that I'm trying to drag into the upgrade, since I don't need the latest, fastest 3D performance. But I do recognize that is a bit less power efficient than I could get today. I *think*...

Moving countries -> 110 to 220

That's what I thought one of the big benefits of active power factor.

Are motherboards almost irrelevant nowadays?

I also look at power efficiency, but then I'm not a big overclocker or gamer.

Worried about Foxconn socket issues

No, I'm headed to India where 220 is the rule. However, because the power is so dirty, you don't tend to connect without a UPS to filter things. Would that change things in your opinion?

Moving countries -> 110 to 220

So I'm moving countries and the power will go from 110 to 220. I have a seasonic M12 500W supply that is about 4-5 years old. Do powersupplies run more or less efficient when moving to 220? I'm wanting to upgrade my system before I leave (i7-860 or i7-920) and I want to make sure that I'm...

Worried about Foxconn socket issues

I'm an avid follower of anandtech, but never felt like I had to post to the forum to get info. I'd like to do an upgrade before I leave the country on a three year job assignment. I don't game much and so don't need a gaming machine. I do mostly media editing. I don't overclock, although I...
