Is the TT Butterfly 480 watt psu 24-pin. I got a DFI LANPARTY sli-dr mobo and want a 24 pin psu. I have to choose the psu. I want a 24-pin psu as my vga card (6600GT) does not have an external power adapter. Thanks.

Plz help! I just installed sp2 on my system. I had Windows XP pro (no service pack installed). The installation went fine. When I rebooted my system windows begins to load and the welcome screen appears. Then the machine restarts. I tried it again and the same thing happens. I am using a DFI...

YUp thats the way to do it. I learnt it the hard way. I completed my first rig three days ago and it took me two days to get everything figured out. I have a zalman cnps7700CU. That is by far the largest cpu heatsink i have seen. I installed the mobo in the case first and suffered. I had to take...

Yup. The problem was with the power switches. Luckily DFI has two ez power buttons on the bottom of the motherboard. Is there any way i can fix the front panel switch myself so that i dont need to take out the case everytime?

Yup. It needs three power leads. One main. (with the extra 4 pin for processor), One floppy type power connector and one 4 pin molex. I have connected all three. I connected all 20 pin wire into the 24 pin socket. If the problem was with the 24 pin then atleast the pwer supply fan and leds would...

Hi, This is my first build and unfortunately when i switch on the power nothing happens. I assembled everything as per the installation guide and tried taking power directly from the socket (coz i thought UPS was restricting) but still nothing happens. Any Help would be appreciated. The...

Hi guys, I have lost the rounded cables and the ribbion cables of my dfi LANPARTY nf44 sli-dr motherboard. Sine there arent any main distributors for DFI in this region (I got it from UK) can i replace it with ribbon cables and rounded cables from any other compatible motherboards? Thanks.

Hi guys, Im planning to buy a 6600 GT (256 MB PCI-E). I currently have a 5700LE (256 MB AGP) card. Will there be cosiderable improvement?

I know this sounds stupid but will I have the benefit of a 64 bit processor with XP pro (32 bit) edition? I will be installing 32 bit XP on my new machine with Athlon 64. Is it necessary to install 64 bit XP for better gaming performance?

I read about overclocking the 3200+ to FX speeds. Ive never tried overclocking. Is it risky? I will be using a Zalman CPU fan. The avg room temp will be around 27-30 C. I really wanna overclock it as my P4 runs @ 2.8 Ghz. I also checked the net and there is a lot of stuff about the X2. How much...
