    Epox out of business...

    That's the saddest news I've heard for a long time. :( I always thought Epox was doing well as I have a stack of motherboard boxes that all say Epox on them.. I guess I just assumed many others were also using Epox. I sure hope Supox or whatever makes a similar reliable product. We...

    3 Mobos all ? Dead, ALL else good.. Mystery, help!

    Thought I better finish what I started.. here's the rediculously simple yet not obvious solution. All of these motherboards apparently suddenly all need both the 24 Pin Power pluggeg in as well as the former "Intel" 4 pin 12V power connector simultaneously. I checked the manual of the ASUS...

    Stable Quality NForce 4 Socket 939 Motherboards?

    I got a A8N5X that is my 3rd DOA board! All parts are tested and the system won't boot. All parts on the boards have run warm but the CPUs have been cold. It's a good CPU and PS by the way that runs similar boards with ease. All the parts do. I think I may have just gotten VERY unlucky. Who...

    3 Mobos all ? Dead, ALL else good.. Mystery, help!

    I unfortunately don't have a slower one but I called tech support and they said the A8N5X supports 4000+ and I know the others do. It's a profound mystery as I've tried EVERY SINGLE PART in another EPOX similar setup and they ALL work, from power supply to video card to CPU! Has anyone...

    3 Mobos all ? Dead, ALL else good.. Mystery, help!

    Thanks Jiggz, Yes, I've tested EVERY single component on good systems and all work perfectly except the mainboards. I just can't believe it as I've built over 20 computers over almost 20 years, and never seen this.. I'm just starting again now, ordering a new board and hoping! I also hope...

    Best 350 to 400W Reliable Inespensive Quiet PSU

    Anyone have a notion of what's the best power supply that has the following: 1) Reliable and long lasting; and current with 24 pin connector. 2) Quiet with a 120 mm fan in the base - you know the type and very quiet. 3) Not very expensive, say $30 to about $40. I just can't do these...

    3 Mobos all ? Dead, ALL else good.. Mystery, help!

    Hi, I feel like I'm losing it here as I've had what appears to be 3! IN A ROW apparent DOA motherboards! All other parts were tested to work fine, PSU, Drives, Video Card, Floppy, cables.. everything. First dead was an ASUS something, then a fancy EPOX SLI board 9NPA3 SLI I believe, and...

    500 GB Seagate 16 mb Sata 139.99@ the egg!

    Thanks Newegg.com for the deal. If you could offer a sale and or rebates on some smaller 160 GB or similar size Seagate internal hard drives it would be much appreciated as we don't all need or want the giant drives. I remain happier with the older relatively smaller but reliable Seagates...

    Installing SATA using DOS Floppy Boot Disk

    One other thing, with modern Seagate Seatools, is it possible to do a clone from a PATA drive to a SATA drive or will it cause a problem? Both are Seagate Drives of the same size, just PATA currently wanting to Clone to SATA. I'd prefer a clean install in DOS (FDisk, Format FAT32) but as...

    Installing SATA using DOS Floppy Boot Disk

    I am just getting into SATA and would like to just plug it into the ASUS board and then partition and format to FAT32 followed by standard CD DOS XP installation using just a bootdisk and FDisk + Format + install from CXP CD. All to an ASUS A8N5X. My question is: 1) Will this work or is...

    Stable Quality NForce 4 Socket 939 Motherboards?

    Anyone know where to find an A8N5X board? I can't seem to locate one in stock.. Also is the MSI K8N NEO4-F a long lasting board for owners out there? I've read reviews of it lasting only 9 minths or 12 months etc. Does anyone have one that has been cooled well and lasted at least 2 or...

    Stable Quality NForce 4 Socket 939 Motherboards?

    Is it Asus A5N8X or A8N5X? I find the latter but the former is hardly Googleable with only 4 results. I'm just hoping it's the latter (A8N5X) you are referring to as whatever the name, it sounds like it has much enthusiasm behind it. Can an owner elaborate on what the part name is? Is...

    Stable Quality NForce 4 Socket 939 Motherboards?

    I'm sure they are good and I've used Asus in the past but my 10+ Epox mainboards have been the best, most stable and easy to work with great performance boards I've ever dealt with and no DOA until the very last one and just before that an ASUS also was DOA. If you read many of the reviews on...

    Stable Quality NForce 4 Socket 939 Motherboards?

    That's what I'm used to (and the hardware available) and I found that mixing ATI and NVidia in the past gave me more trouble than I expected; like a complete clean install one time, fun stuff. I don't actually overclock anymore (for many, many years) as everything is fast enough that I...

    Stable Quality NForce 4 Socket 939 Motherboards?

    As the Socket 939 NForce 4 Boards are getting scarce, does anyone know of a good really basic (non RAID, non-SLI) board that will just get the job done reliably with great stability and preferably a long life like this. Also a SATA or SATA 2 would be best. I have liked Epox or ASUS especially...

    Are there issues with using a SATA hd as the boot drive?

    This is sort of an offshoot question of the main thread question but can one use the normal DOS Fdisk and Format to FAT32 using a floppy so that XP can be installed starting under DOS? That's how some PATA drives used to be made into boot drives and I wondered if there are any problems doing...

    SATA 3Gb/s vs. 1.5Gb/s

    Thanks Bob, I do tend to trust specs to be at least ballpark and think it's false advertising to tell that up to double the rate is their spec if false. I knew they weren't perfect but if there's not much difference150 to 300, it's mostly a selling gimmic that may do nothing but cost more...

    SATA 3Gb/s vs. 1.5Gb/s

    I don't quite follow this. If one has a Sata 2 drive connected to a modern motherboard that is qualified to handle Sata 2 (3 Gbps), why then won't it function at the very least somewhere well above the 1.5 Gbps if not near the full 3 Gbps rating? Are the 3 Gbps ratings all just lies for...

    Paypal $15 of $30 offer (Feb. 8 - March 31)

    What is irrational to me about PayPal's selective customer treatment and rule changing mid-offer is that the sign up page has been up and remains up to this day and they aren't treating many of their best customers with the same offer and respect as "the chosen few", however they happened to be...

    Paypal $15 of $30 offer (Feb. 8 - March 31)

    Well I got denied the offer for some reason too and I'm even a longtime PayPal Premiere member. I wonder what algorithm they use to decide who gets the offer and who does not. PayPal has been rather irritating lately (for me anyway). Yesterday they misleadingly signed me up for the PayPal...

    Car Bodywork Reasonable Prices

    Thanks guys, I think I'll go with "Just put a bunch of sand in the oil and get a new vehicle." I guess $1000 is on the low end after all. I'll call around and see if any place will do if for 800 -$900. I need a hot deal!

    Car Bodywork Reasonable Prices

    Hi, I got a quote of $1000 for about 2 square feet of minor dents on 2005 Chrysler Town and Country Minivan and wondered what others think of this price. I already punched out most of the dents but it's still quite bumpy (average 1/4" bumps on 1 of the 2 sq. ft.). I'm in the midwest by the...

    Sennheiser HD580 HOT

    Just a couple tips for prospective buyers: I once purchased the HD580s and must have got a bad unit (returned it) as there was a substantial difference between the sound levels of the two drivers. My point is that the 580s don't have matched drivers so the sound may differ slightly between...

    AMD Sempron Processor 3100+ & ECS NFORCE3-A Motherboard for $80 at Outpost.com

    INQ: Dell buys Alienware!

    Like so many other AT ladies and gentlemen, I'm so thankful to live in this free country where we can build our own computers and don't have to get a Dell if we don't want to! Now we just need a few more standard parts for laptops so we can start making those! :D

    [dead I think] Dell 2001FP 20" LCD $398, 24" 2405FPW Widescreen LCD $714

    The $60 coupon seems to already have expired earlier today. Maybe it was one of the silly "only so many uses" type Dell coupons. You never know what second they'll evaporate! I guess it's good too as Dell has made the decision for me not to order one (second time this has happened!) and saved...

    Is my power supply good enough???

    I've been wondering why a 400W or even 500W power supply is so often quoted as being needed for Athlon 64 systems. I added up all the hardware for a Athlon 64 system and it conservatively comes out around 300W. Am I missing something? Here are the power estimates I considered: Geforce...
