Video card, Motherboard, or something else?

Came across this thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18507114. Looks like TFIII cards have been having some pretty serious issues the entire year... Edit: Couple of reports of faulty 6pin connectors on the TFIII. I think this is the issue with mine. Dunno if I should deal...

Video card, Motherboard, or something else?

I really wish I did - or at least if Micro Center was a 20 minute drive I'd go and have them test it.

Video card, Motherboard, or something else?

I'd rather not get a GTX660Ti (less performance for same $) - my rig was working flawlessly for a week until the sudden shutdown. It's a major pain in the ass to get to micro center (45 minute drive) so I think my plan of action now is: Wait to hear back about my 550W PSU that's getting tested...

Video card, Motherboard, or something else?

I've pretty much ruled out a short right? I mean I can boot into Windows and I have a fully operational computer as long as I'm using my IGP. My RMA'd 550W SeaSonic should be tested this week - I guess there is the possibility that I got two bad PSUs. I'll wait to get that back before getting...

Actually, I'm thinking it could be either the new PSU or the faux-new GPU. I tried to boot my system with the GPU not plugged into the PCIE slot, but with the PCIE power ports connected, and my system would not boot...

Video card, Motherboard, or something else?

It booted from PERFECTLY without the card in. I've since swapped out the PSU, motherboard, AND power supply. I'm getting the SAME ISSUE. There's a split second where it *tries* to start (fans spin maybe 20 degrees) then it duds out. This is beyond me since I have a fresh PSU MOBO and GPU but I'm...

Just moved to a new area with absolutely no friends. There is a Micro Center nearby, and I bought a few of my components there. I'm gonna go see if they can test them for me either tonight or tomorrow.

I don't have another discrete card, much less one that has two PCIE ports :( Nor do I have another rig built to test the card with, nor do I have an extra power supply.

Which PSU to buy?

Hello ATPSU, Got a quick and dirty question for y'all: will the Seasonic G Series 550W power supply be enough to power the following rig: 3770K overclocked to ~4.5GHz or so on air (hopefully) Asus P8Z77-I Samsung 512GB 830 SSD, possibly adding one more SSD or a HDD in the future 16GB...

Asus PA248Q vs Dell U2312HM

U2412M is everything that the PA248Q is, except it doesn't have 4xUSB 3.0. Don't know why I'd consider it. Wanted the PA248Q, but the nice price on the U2312HM is tempting.

Discussions on the ICS Nexus device: Nexus Prime?

Just because something is heavy doesn't mean it feels like quality. I've held both and I prefer the lightness of the S. It also won't dent. Polycarbonates are actually better for phones than metals in the durability department.

Fudzilla: Bulldozer performance figures are in

8 core (AMD) vs 12 core (Intel): Intel with 50% more cores 4.2GHz (AMD) vs 3.4GHz (Intel): AMD 23.5% faster than Intel Scores seem to be a little give or take. This doesn't paint a favorable light in AMD's favor (if the benchmarks are true)?

What are you talking about? K5 competes with the 7D. Similarly, prices will follow performance when BD releases.

Look into Shure SHR-440s. I had the 840s (lost them... darn) and from what I other people say the SHR-440s are a little more "fun" and not as analytical. Can be had for around $70.

Been a while since I posted. But since I just finished a marathon here in Seoul yesterday, figured I'd do a mega update. There are quite a few runs I didn't do with my GPS watch so they're not recorded, but we'll just count the total mileage of my GPS: 623 miles. 32,383

12 Weeks to Put on Some Weight

6' 165 is actually too heavy to be a long distance runner. My sophomore year I was 143... a little light, but my ideal racing weight is right around 150. Anddd... I'm pretty sure I look like a man. And I'm almost positive if we competed in a decathlon I would win :p
