Hi, I have a GIGABYTE GA-8I945P-G Socket T (LGA 775) Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Western Digital Caviar SE WD2000JS 200GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM and am trying to figure out if SATA 2 is working? I have gone through the bios but there is no option which...

anyone out there with this comment

also, i installed the gigabyte cd sw like a control center (called easy tune 5) and the computer temp (normal load) is running 32 C / 89 F. I didnt even use the Artic Silver paster because they didnt ship it. I guess it is the gigabyte fan. WIll run some more tests and keep you guys posted.

LOL, I am such a dumbass. In my excitment and tireness of putting the damn thing together, I forgot that you have to hit the power button on the case to start the computer. And I did.... and it started... Well now next steps include, setting the computer to dual core and SATA 2 in the bios...

well guys, I do appreciate all the concern, but the system was ordered back when I started this thread. So there is not much I can do about it.... HOwever, I just put everything together and it did not start; I have double checked the connections, the power supply fan wont even start... so that...

hey guys, need some more advise .... apprantly the case sucked. Hence I am trying to find some screws which are supposed to insulated which keep the motherboard attached to the case. The ones which came with the case really suck and wont be able to hold anything there for longer. Any suggestions...

no zeba, i never meant to disagree. just my IMO. Hey leighy why do we need the gluestick?

Yeah I know. But I like DDR2, for the future. Secondly, isnt x16 twice as fats as agp 8x. Also I think your system would be around 50-60 bucks more expensive atleast including s&h and tax. My number includes s&h and tax which is around 60 bucks. Anywayz, I am not a huge gamer at the moment :-)...

Hi guys, Just ordered my new rigga, need some advise on 1. what more would I need to build it except a philip, flat head screw driver and coffee filter (lint free cloth) for spreading the arctic sliver 5 paste?? 2. And advise on what plastic device I would use to erode the thermal...
