  1. Recommendations - MoBo for an I7-4790K

    Hey Vailr, could you elaborate why you recommend Gigabyte for my motherboard? I just wanted to know why you recommend this brand. I see that you listed varieties labeled "Ultra Durable" and wanted to know just how that is achieved. For example, I understand that with the VRM, that quality...
  2. Recommendations - MoBo for an I7-4790K

    That's the catch isn't it? How viable will Thunderbolt end up being a year or two from now? But the bigger selling point is the 3x PCIe 3.0 vs 3x PCIe 2.0. Graphics will be a big thing for me on this rig. Not for games really, but more 3d rendering and processing. I will probably not...
  3. Recommendations - MoBo for an I7-4790K

    I did a comparison at motherboards.specout.com of those two Gigabyte boards and it was illuminating. So now I need to assess how important a Thunderbolt interface is to me, and of course PCI 3.0. The other features are pretty much the same except of course the LAN controller you mentioned. The...
  4. Recommendations - MoBo for an I7-4790K

    I really like the 1st and 3rd boards you linked. I cannot use the 2nd because of it's LGA1151 and DDR4. I am leaning towards the 3rd (GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD5H) but need to research it against the first to narrow that down. Thank you sir!!
  5. Recommendations - MoBo for an I7-4790K

    OK Thank you. That certainly gives me options to look at. There were a couple of other motherboards I have been looking at, the ASRock Z97 EXTREME6 and the Asus MAXIMUS VII GENE (pricey). Thank you for clarifying about the z97 chipset also. That answered one of my many questions. So the...

    Only option is the processor I mentioned.
  7. Recommendations - MoBo for an I7-4790K

    WOW It's been a LONG LONG time since I posted a request for opinions here. My hiatus was brought to you by... YOU GUYS! Yeah! The last time I built a system for myself, it was back in 2007 and the advice you guys gave me led me to buy an A-Bit IP35 Pro. And yeah, that build you guys helped me...
  8. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    The reason the caps blew, and they were not the same replaced ones, is because they were bad caps in the first place. When I searched about the problem, I found quite a few people that had the same issue with the same card. I have heard about (but haven't seen) this bad capacitor issue with...
  9. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    It's comments like that one that I live for! It lets me know that my new card will grow with my upgrades. Thank you!
  10. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    @happy medium Got the card via UPS at my work and after rerouting power from my PSU to all my components, and tearing apart my office for the extra power cables that were included with my Enermax, AND dusting out my rig after only a month and a half hiatus, I installed my new GTX 460 and...
  11. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    Almost exactly! $130 in November of 2007. Ah depreciation. hehehe
  12. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    I already pulled the trigger and I think it is too late to get that discount. If I like it though and I'm sure I will, I'll get another one for my new build. Thanks again for all the help!
  13. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    Done. I'll post what I think when I get it next week. I still have my 8600GT benches here somewhere. Thanks again for the heads up! =)
  14. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    Read some stuff here and on Tom's Hardware about that 460. I'll go ahead and pull the trigger I think. =)
  15. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    Good find. Question is; Is it work another $45 for a 925MHz core clock and 4000MHz memory clock?
  16. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    No more than $200, 1680x1050, and World of Warcraft. Also want quality from 1080p movie playback on a secondary attached 1680x1050 monitor.
  17. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    I appreciate that clarification. I also appreciate your recommendation and will look to that as the card I run in the IP35 Pro rig when I move it aside to the Linux role. I am looking at a couple of beefier cards at the moment and will most likely move my choice to my new build when that...
  18. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    Awesome info! I didn't want to tinker with it as my main windows rig, but after I build my new machine, I want to push it a little. The CPUs you mentioned will help me with that, thank you! Thanks for the video recommendation too. I never looked at higher cards because I was led to believe...
  19. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    Thank you for the fast response. I will look at your recommendations and appreciate the nudge in the right direction. The voltage rails on my PSU are almost exactly the same as when I built the machine. I looked the PSU board over and didn't see any leaking or swollen caps, or any sign of...
  20. nVidia 8600 GT blew some caps again, need advice for an upgrade

    I have a machine with an Abit IP35 Pro mobo and an e4500@2.2GHz. The machine is perfect for a Linux CentOS Enterprise role when I build my new machine so I want to keep it functional. I had an XFX 8600 GT 256mb video card in it but it blew a couple of apparently bad caps. I replaced the caps and...
  21. Motherboard Anatomy

    Not looking for the intricate workings of the motherboard or other digital embedded system. I write code for those and build my own embedded systems. Just the areas of function, like the building blocks. What part of the motherboard does what... mosfets, power systems, etc. Pardon my lack of...
  22. Motherboard Anatomy

    Hi all! I did a search of the forums using "Motherboard Anatomy" and synonyms of that and came up empty so I feel better asking about this. I want to learn more about what building blocks make up a modern day (and legacy even) motherboard. Not the components mind you, they change...
  23. *The Official* Abit IP35-E (Ed. 2)

    What link did you use to download the manual? I went to their site, went through the selection pages for the model motherboard, and when I finally click on the english version I end up at their error page. The offered links ended up driving into a brick wall as well. Thanks for your time! Hop
  24. Dell 22" monitor - Any coupon ideas or alternatives?

    Ok, sorry. Came to the place I knew was the best place to get the best head's-up info. Sorry if I didn't do it correctly. I'd delete this post if I knew how. Again, sorry for any inconvenience. Hop
  25. Dell 22" monitor - Any coupon ideas or alternatives?

    I want this monitor, and not yet ready to get a 24" or higher. SP2208WFP - http://configure.us.dell.com/d...dhs&cs=19&oc=SP2208WFP Was wondering if you Hot Deals gurus had any suggestions on where I can find an online coupon to get it lowered, if there are even any, and maybe if you know of...
  26. Antec 900 Case Fans - Speed Control Mod Info Needed

    That's awesome! I didn't think about that at all, and I'm guessing you get enough bandwidth for whatever communications you need to do. I wanted USB because I want my device recognized from the BIOS, but seriously, who needs 12mbps, or even 40 (or is it 48 with usb 2.0?) mbps communications for...
  27. Antec 900 Case Fans - Speed Control Mod Info Needed

    Yeah, in Windows it certainly can get messy, which is why I'm finding it more and more appealing to do this stuff under Linux.
  28. Antec 900 Case Fans - Speed Control Mod Info Needed

    If I do a panel, I certainly have a slot available. But if not, I can mount it behind a blank panel in the 5 1/4" bays since I have a lot of room there. Also, thinking about the USB aspect... I guess I could use the 18f4550 to do the USB and interface it with the 30F3011 via SPI. Also very...
  29. Antec 900 Case Fans - Speed Control Mod Info Needed

    I'm interested in that MCU, but looking at the specs, I don't see USB support. How do you communicate with it? And I'm also interested in what you use to program it. I have a PICkit 2 with a developer board. Nice, I just noticed that the 30F3011 is on the list of supported devices. Having dsp...
  30. Antec 900 Case Fans - Speed Control Mod Info Needed

    Interesting. I figured since it went into a PCI slot that it would use that bus to communicate.
  31. Antec 900 Case Fans - Speed Control Mod Info Needed

    That is one serious fan/light controller. I didn't know what was so special about what you recommended until I researched it. Nice idea, an addon card that does what I want, software controlled. Couldn't find it on NewEgg though, and it has to be expensive. Nice to know that hardware is...
  32. Antec 900 Case Fans - Speed Control Mod Info Needed

    Thank you. I'll grab a few of those, and use a few NPN's I have on my bench that are the smaller type, after I check the voltages going through that switch. I'm just going to take it apart and reverse engineer it a little, and make a schematic. What PIC do you use? I'm using the 18F4550 for it's...
  33. Antec 900 Case Fans - Speed Control Mod Info Needed

    I'm leaning towards that, but I'd have to mod my blue LED fans to work with that idea, since the lights and fan pull power from the same connector. I've read through a few threads on this, and I'm not prepared to alter my fans in this fashion, so I would rather have the switch method. And if...
  34. Antec 900 Case Fans - Speed Control Mod Info Needed

    I thought about this project when I bought this case, the Antec 900, because I KNEW I wouldn't be happy with manually flipping a switch dangling off a cable to change a single fan's speed. Not only that, some of the wiring isn't long enough to extend out the back of the case via the water...
  35. Abit IP35 Pro - It's a wreck.

    LOL, really? These search engine sponserships must be large as of late. I installed IrfanView on my new installs, a program I've used for years, and it tried to install a bunch of google apps. I'm glad I was watching because normally I just plow through the NEXT and OK buttons. Never seen that...
  36. Abit IP35 Pro - It's a wreck.

    Curious as to what you don't like about the IP35-E. I have the Pro, my son has the standard IP35. He already wants to overclock (ordered a Zalman 9700 to accommodate). Also, why the E2180 verses the E4500? Cost? I can understand the <$50 increase but I read 2mb verses 1mb makes a big difference...
  37. Abit IP35 Pro - It's a wreck.

    I did the E4500 Allendale, not the E2180. The E4500 is at 2.2GHz stock, not 2GHz, same L2 cache, so is the E4500 better? They both have the same 11x multiplier. I'm having a hard time seeing any difference in these CPU's. =\ Outside of the stock clock speed that is. EDIT: AH, E4500 2MB L2...
  38. Abit IP35 Pro - It's a wreck.

    Does that mean you are having the same audio problem with the Gigabyte P35 board? Just a thought... are your speakers powered off the same outlet/UPS that your machine is? I had a problem once with a sound blaster audigy with a break out that would hum and have a lot of interference when I tried...
  39. P2 Server

    How true. Didn't think of that at all. And that's what happened on my legacy hardware for my kids. A search for an AGP NForce Mobo was tough work.
  40. Sound Blaster Audigy: Still Good?

    Did for me. 6 ports off the back, 1 for front, 1 for back and subwoofer (I think), or another for subwoofer. And others for line in, mic in, line out. Hop
