I dont follow law9933. How would I do that? Also, I saw this somewhere else "The only way for me to power it up is jumping green and black wires at 20-pin connector. It then continues to boot up OK. While in the BIOS set up screen i can power it down by pushing the power button." How would I...

I've troubleshooted the PC and I think its the motherboard. The powersupply turns on another commputer, the power button also works on another pc. So it is the mobo. Can someone tell me why the green light on the motherboard goes on when there is power even though it doesnt work? I feel so...

The power switch is on on the back of the PC because when I turn the power switch on the CPU a green light turns on on the Mobo. I don't know how to test if the power switch is telling the mobo to turn on. Is there another way to test if the power switch on the case is working? This is really...

I can't get to the root of this problem. Power supply connected, all wires connected to HDD, Mobo with both 24 and 4 connector. Mobo light is green but when I click the power button it just wont start. I can't for the life of me figure out whats wrong. I took out the jumper batter(round battery)...

Correct. OCz Freeze v. MX-2 v. AS5 v. "Diamonds are forever" ? OCZ freeze is $7.50 for the 3gram tube for me. I think I may go with that, good idea or bad? Should i choose mx-2 or as5 over it?

What are idle temps for it? I get around 65-70. What about load? I get 78. I feel like its running waaay too hooot at idle and load. I could be wrong.

I have the 1gb version of the card. I love it, I had it setup at 2x or 4x AA with crysis, on a qx6850 setup, 2x2gb running at 400mhz on Vista 64 I saw FPS anywhere from 35-50 and it was at 13*0x1024 setting. Edit: Since this is my first homebuilt PC in few years I was like "whoa" when I saw...

You are on point myocardia. The CPU freq does fluctuate from 2ghz-3ghz. Idle temps are 48,47,38,38. At load first 2 cores were mid 50s. I assume or hope thats good. Also you were correct about the ram, it runs at 400mhz,555-18. Grrr. Should I try to make it run at 500mhz, as rated, and...

Hi, I have a QX6850, Asus P5Q SE/R, ATI 4870 1GB, OCZ 4GB "1000Mhz" Ram and Vista 64-Bit. I ran Core Temp .99.2 It shows my frequency at 333.0x6=1998.00MHz. Shouldnt it be at 333.00x9=2997Mhz or 500.00x6=3Ghz? I am going to assume my RAM is running at 667Mhz. It also says VID:1.1625V...

I'm in the same dilemma as the OP but with a P5Q SE/R Mobo. Does anyone know if the cooler will overrun the ram slot? Also how snug of a fit is the cooler that itll be blocking the fans totally?

Does anyone know if it comes with Thermal Compound? If it does, should I use that or should I buy a different brand of thermal paste? If different brand, which one(Recommend please)? Lastly, is there a really good instruction method on how to apply the thermal paste onto my qx6850 and s1283? Do...

My System is finally ready. What are peoples thoughts on this bad-boy ?

I could get the 9450 but for some reason I am intent on sticking with the 6850. Are there any reviews comparing the 2 CPU? I have now decided to go with the Antec 300 for $40, I'll add 3x120mm fans for another $30 and I should be good to go with the case.

The best avail cpu is the 6850..so the 65nm chip it is. edit: the price for the 6850 is $239. What you think of this case Rogue instead of the one you recommended? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...024&CMP=AFC-C8Junction

tHE qx6850 I'm getting at the EPP price of $239 so I would rather get that one. I will lok into the Xigmatech HDT. Does it work very well when overclocking the qx6850 to 3.6-4ghz. I'm getting the QX6850 for the EPP price, so I rather spend $239 than $260. For the ram I am wondering what you...
