*HOT* the Speaker company 40% off sale.

Their customer service went into the crapper. I still haven't received my refund on the speakers that never shipped- and I probably never will, even though their system shows that the refund was issued.

DEAD!!! MSI GeForce 8800GT 512M PCIe for $207.99 from Dell - FREE shipping - *but Dell NEVER ships it..delay..delay...*

They're waiting for all the pre-charged money to mature in a hedge stock, then when Dell's made a huge killing and made their stock broker super rich on just the video card money, they'll spend the leftovers on buying actual cards. :P

Dammit. I guess I'll check back with them again in a few days and see if the ship date gets pushed back any more. Hopefully they're shipping them in batches and not all at once. I can wait for a while- I got in on that Newegg GF6200/Foxconn mobo deal, so at least I won't be without a video...

Enermax 431W not good enough? Need help...

Well, I started the thread running an Enermax, but now I ordered and installed the TruePower. ;) I have no problem with opening up and playing with a potentiometer inside the power supply- I just need to know which one to adjust, and if it's safe to do so (for my components, not me). I've...

Enermax 431W not good enough? Need help...

That's what I was thinking... but I unplugged everything in my system, and the voltage dips are still there. The chip can go higher with the Antec power supply, but not by much. Possibly- but this is a brand new Asus P4PE, and I'm running the Corsair XMS 3500 stick on it with lowest timings...

Enermax 431W not good enough? Need help...

Alrighty everyone... the Antec 420 TruePower finally came in, and I'm still having the same problems. My 12V+ rail runs at about 11.9V at idle, and about the fastest I can make is 2.8G at 1.85V. That's as high as it'll go, and the chip doesn't break 42C at full load. The 12V+ rail stays at...

Enermax 431W not good enough? Need help...

I'll hit up the Antec power supplies and see what happens. I bought the older stepping P4- I had to get a chip, and I knew that I wanted to wait a while for the new steppings to become available... so I bought a cheaper/slower P4 for now. The 2.0 will go into my LAN box later when I upgrade to...

I guess there's a reason why AOL has a giant hole in the middle of its name. Suck and blow? :D But really- I agree with GoldenBear- AOL provides a valuable service, no matter how much we like to nitpick that its users generally aren't the most tech-savvy people out there.
