    Need some help troubleshooting

    Power supply on order, should be her in a day or so. I will let you know what happens from here. Nice to hear you think that is the source of the probem... I'm just hoping it ends there :) Erydin

    Need some help troubleshooting

    Wasn't sure where to put this. I put together two watercooled systems about 9 months or so back. However one of the systems is having problems that I just can't track down. So unless some of you have some suggestions I am going to end up just having to replace one piece of hardware at a...

    Just bought a Asus P5N32-E SLI PLUS Anyone else have one?

    I have this board. Personally I like it a lot so far. I had some issues getting it stable initially but it ended up being as simple as getting updated chipset drivers that had some beta VISTA drivers (since you are using XP this should not be an issue for you). Haven't moved into the SLI yet...

    650i board, need some suggestions/help

    Problem Fixed. Going to post what I did to fix just in case anyone else ends up with the same problem at some point. Problem: Chipset Drivers It looked like RAM problems or Video Card but it was my chipset drivers were not updated enough to get along with some other part of my new build...

    Flashing Bios

    Ok, figured this one out myself. Apparently I had a second file on my flash drive. Once I totally deleted the flash drive and recopied the .BIN file of the 0501 bios it recognized it right away and uploaded it with EzFlash with no problems. Erydin

    650i board, need some suggestions/help

    I am unable to get this board stable. I posted in another thread trying to get some help to flash the bios from 0302 to 0501 (supposedly a better bios). But I am not convinced that is going to fix my problems. System as right now is: - Board: P5n32-E SLI Plus (650i) - Processor: E6600...

    Flashing Bios

    I am trying to flash my bios. I have an ASUS board so I was trying to do it through EzFlash. My board is a P5N32-E SLI Plus (650i board). Trying to go to the 0501 bios. I have downloaded the bios into my documents. Put it on a DVD and a flashcard. DVD it does not even see it in the EzFlash...

    Ram Speed / FSB

    A quick question about FSB and ram speeds. Set up is a 650i board, 6400C4 corsair ram (4-4-4-12), E6600. I have my system currently OCed to 1332 in bios (333 FSB). Now my question, would the system be faster overall if I set my memory speed to 667? If the memory and FSB are at these timings...

    RECOMMEND: Quiet Power Supply

    I am also looking for a quiet PSU, however the Seasonic and Corsair ones primarily suggested only appear to go up to 620W. According to that calculater posted (and thanks for posting that, I already have it bookmarked) I am going to need just shy of 700W. So does anyone have any suggestions...

    Water cooling a new computer

    I am going to take the plunge and put together a WC rig. Going to go for some decent OCing of it as well or at least as much as the board/cooling/I can get out of it. Mobo - Asus 650i Ram - SuperTalen (6400) (4 1g sticks) Chip - E6600 PSU...

    Overheating, what happens?

    That pretty much sums it up. If I am overclocking and it gets to hot, for whatever reason, what really happens? I am guessing worst case is it burns up my chip... but what generally happens? I have read sometimes it seems the computers lock up or shutdown, is this normal or just, you got...

    My build, thus far

    Well I haven't opened the motherboard yet. It sounds like I should send it back and get something more along the lines of the P5W? Or what other boards would you all recommend for the E6600 processor and the graphics card? P5N I liked due to Nvidia and Nvidia for board and graphics card, but...

    My build, thus far

    Below is what I currently have sitting next to me. I am looking for suggestions/tips/anything I should be aware of before I start and am I overlooking anything. My current concern is the motherboard. P5N32-SLI (premium). I have heard this can only OC the FSB to about 330 and that it is...

    Can the airplane take off?

    The plane will not take off or lift off the ground. An airplane flies because of the "lift" (this being an important word) it creates. "Lift" is created by the air going OVER the wings not under. Airplanes, jets, etc... all have a lift capacity based on their design, not push capacity :)...
