    Are newegg a reliable company?

    Haha, cool, I got the same form letter response from Newegg that IanWorthington got from a letter before I bought my mainboard. After that I never talked to them again, except to RMA stuff... Jay

    shuttle ak31 rev3 and enlight 7237 300 watt at newegg?

    Here was my experience with the Enlight 7237 case and the Enlight 300W PSU and the AK31 v3.1. The first AK31 v3.1 was DOA, no posts, no video, nothing, with just the barebones and outside the case. I RMA'ed it back to newegg and got another one. The second one would go to POST and fail (the...

    Software to monitor temps on Epox 8KHA+

    I got a reply from Jonathan Teh (the author of MBProbe) regarding the discrepency of the +3.3v line and the EPoX 8Kha+. Other than confirming mine (our?) suspiction that it means nothing and is not a problem, it at least clears things up a bit as to why the reading is wrong or inaccurate: <<...

    Just got my Enlight Case (the $47 one). Fan Install Help

    Nice pics BuckMaster, actaully I saw your post somewhere on this forum, when I clicked on your website, I recognized it right away.... I know a couple of folks who put a whole in the top of their cases, but I didn't look to see if the Enlight 7237's top is easily removeable. I'm not about to...

    Software to monitor temps on Epox 8KHA+

    I use MBprobe: MBProbe it's a bit smaller than MBM5, not as many options and it's basically an install it yourself jobber but it works OK for me. It too gives me bad +3.3v data (comes out as 1.52v (perhaps it's the Vagp or something????)) and low -5v and -12v readings but so does Sandra.. and...

    Bank Interleave, Sytem Bios caching, Video Bios caching..

    Some Award 6.0 Bios questions here, trying to do some web searches on what exactly is "Bank Interleave"? Seems like everything I find is in relation to SDRAM and stuff, just wondering what's the best setting to setit as and what exactly is it? Even Phoenix's website is not clear. Also, is...

    Just got my Enlight Case (the $47 one). Fan Install Help

    I have the same case, I have an old toyo 92mm fan lying around that I was thinking of using to blow air out the back of the case except I found out last night the case is drilled for an 80mm fan so either I dremel out a hole for my 92mm or put new holes in the fan. But more realistically, I'm...

    PSU 3.3v meter reading...

    I believe you, I'm just curious really. I think both SiSoft and MBprobe must be reading a different value in the memory and thinking it's the +3.3v reading. But it is odd that both Sisoft and MBprobe read the same value, perhaps EPoX did something proprietary??? I have MBM5, I should try to run...

    Mobo conflicting with case?

    Might want to also doublecheck that there are no standoffs where you're not using a screw. Would think that many of you runnnig 1.7gig CPUs typically have a more powerful power supply than 300W, but then reading that your PSU is working for 1 second and then shutting off, it could be going...

    PSU 3.3v meter reading...

    Hmm, thought I'd poke my head in hear for a bit. I have the same MB with an Enermax 365VE 350W PSU and I'm also getting 1.52v for the +3.3v line as read by both SiSoft's Sandra and MBprobe. I'm going to check my BIOS tonight cause I didn't feel like rebooting but the system has been running...

    Epox 8kha+ and 3.3v line readings

    Yes, so far, the PC ran right from the initial setup and has been running OK for the past 3 4 days. Played a few games and was doing some general tweaking here and there, not much a problem. I forgot to check the BIOS readings but I'll do so tonight. It reads the same way in Sandra too. If...

    Epox 8kha+ and 3.3v line readings

    Howdy folks, I just setup an Epox 8kha+ with a 350w Enermax EG365P-VE PSU and running Win2000 (for now) and Sisoft Sandra and MBprobe. I'm getting low readings for the +3.3v line both in Sanra and in MBprobe. It's registering the following data: +3.3v 1.52v ** +5v 4.94v +12v 12.03v...
