wasn't sure if this was the proper forum or if it should have went into the technical forum...anyway i just finished getting my new computer up and running.. i have a gigabyte p965 ds3 rev 3.3 motherboard.. well i have a 2.1 speaker setup..boston acoustic and they're digital..in my old computer...

anandtech has been great so far with me have ran into a few roadblocks on getting my new computer set up and finally got everything running as it should im assuming..anyway i left the side of my case off to make sure everything was spinning and when i looked at the cooler for my e6420 which is...

heh well im an idiot..noob mistake i guess..thats what i get for not reading the instructions all the way through..i figured i knew enough from research and by looking at my old computer which is like 6 years old and comparing and copying..i missed the atx_12v connection.....all that frustration...

So I just finished putting my computer together: gigabyte 965p-ds3 rev3.3 e6420 antec truepower II 550W 2 barracuda 7200.10 320GB [sata] g.skill 2gb ddr2 800 [ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231065 ] 8800gts foxconn 320MB so i have everything wired...

Oh okay..sorry about that I didn't see it. So from what I'm getting out of that link is you can hook the fan up to either the fan only connection or the other ones, the "molex" connections? I guess when I read that the connection said "fan only" i took it as only hook the fan up to this...

As I was taking pictures for another question I had about hooking up my case fans to my PSU I was looking at my motherboard, which I'm 99% positive I mounted right because all the holes lined up properly and it fit perfectly into the back i/o panel. But when I looked at the PCI and PCI-E slots...

Foxconn Cares Every Foxconn 8800GTS 320MB and 320MB (overclocked) graphics card come bundled with two great software (Restore IT 7.0 and Virtual Drive Pro 10.0) - along with a FOXCONN proprietary USB Game Pad Controller that should make your neighbors turn green with envy - until they rush...

Does anyone else have this graphics card? I was reading the foxconn website and it states that EVERY 8800GTS 320MB overclocked or not comes bundled with a USB controller. When I received mine today there was no indication on the box of a bundle and of course nothing bundled inside the box...

hmm well when i first started looking for stuff i looked at the cases first..it kind of came down between either the "COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW" or the "ThermalTake Tsunami" which is kind of a big price difference. So I figured I'd pick my parts first and see what I have left over and...

you know, i was just going to post a question about that :) . I was wondering is it worth it to go with SATA II? Or should I just stick with SATA? The motherboard I chose is going to come with SATA II support but from what I seen there isn't a HUGE advantage to using SATA150 as opposed to the...
