My card runs at about 40-42c idle and 84c load with fan on auto. This is with a small overclock of 850/1700/2025. I bumped it up to 900/1800/2050 on 1.1v, the temps go up to 90c load if I leave the fan on auto. Afterburner sets the fan at 75% on auto, if I manually crank it up to 85% the...

My PSU is an 800w.

I bought a pci SATA card, this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PX9BX2 I can't seem to get it to work correctly. I needed a couple of extra SATA slots, I already have all 6 used on my motherboard, so I figured I would get a cheap one and put my dvd drive on it. The card is able...

Ahh, lol. Well you got me. I checked to see if all the MB stand-offs lined up with the case holes, didn't think the IO Plate could cause a short. Lesson learned, all my future builds will be tested without a case pre-install to make sure every piece of hardware works.

Also I'm using a CM 932 HAF if anyone else has the same issue.

Well, I fixed it, thanks for all the feedback guys. I found the problem on google, turns out some other people had the same problem. And someone had a short happen due to the IO plate. I took mine out and the system powered up. So I just used black tape on the inside of the IO plate and cut...

Yea, I've tried each stick individually and did check the case connectors multiple times. both cpu\mb cables are connected to the MB.

Just tried that, still the same results :\

I just finished a new PC build, but it won't start up. The Phase led lights and the fans light up and spin for a split sec, then the system powers off. MB: Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 CPU: i5-760 PSU: Antec 1000w Memory: G.Skill ripjaw 8GB ddr3 Only the PSU is old from my old PC, everything...

I ripped one of the rubber mounts for the heatsink. What's a good method to mount the fan without the rubber mounts? I did a google search, but online stores only seem to sell rubber screws. I can't seem to find any replacements for the rubbers mounts included with the Xigmatek S1283.

Hi, I'm running 2 4870 1gb in crossfire with Catalyst 9.4, and I'm getting BSOD on Call of Duty World At War when I have crossfire enabled. The cards do not appear to be overheating. Problem is gone when I disable crossfire. I'm trying to figure out if the second card is having issues...

I was thinking that, but when I go into the PC... I can set the resolution and every nvidia configuration like normal as if the video card works. I even ran WoW through it lol. Is it possible for the vga and dvi ports on the video card to just die at the same time?

Okay, I can't figure out what is wrong here. My PC is displaying no signal on the monitor, everything appears to start up correctly. I can even vpn and remote access into the pc and it works perfect. I don't think its the monitor, tried it on another pc. Also tried switching between dvi and...

My Q9450 has some weird temp readings. Readings are as follows Core 0: 50c Core 1: 40c Core 2: 50c Core 3: 40c So... Core 0 and 2 seem to have similar temps while 1 and 3 have similar temps. Did I apply the thermal paste wrong? I used the 2 line method like on benchmarkreviews.com. I...

Wasn't exactly sure where to put this, but since a heat issue I figured here would be best. My Q9450 has some weird temp readings. Readings are as follows Core 0: 50c Core 1: 40c Core 2: 50c Core 3: 40c So... Core 0 and 2 seem to have similar temps while 1 and 3 have similar temps...
