I'm trying to fix the messed up colour on my HP C5180 printer (specifically affecting photos). According to the manufacturer (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfr...c=en&product=1153481#), there should be a 'Calibrate Color' option in the 'Device Toolbox'. That option is missing. I am using Win2k8...

Looks like it's efficient between 150 and 500W. http://www.silentpcreview.com/article692-page4.html But will my PC really use 50% of a 430W PSU? This setup: ASUS P5E3 Deluxe (Intel X38 Express chipset) Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 2 x 1GB Kingston HyperX DDR3-1333 memory modules...

I bought the Corsair HX 520W

I bought a Sumvision 350W PSU as a temporary solution until I can get something decent delivered. Noisy junk, only 1 SATA power cable which only reaches the top drive bay. And then I plugged it in. Works, but supplied cable is too short.Switch cables. No power. Hmm. Replace fuse in...

Ok, I found various Antecs locally: EarthWatts 380 (£43), Truepower Trio 550 £66, BasicPower BP550+ £66 NeoHE 550 £68 Earthwatts 650 £76 Is the 380 enough? Or should I buy a different one. From the specs, the 380 seems to have better rails than the 430...

Hmm, seems everything is online these days. V. annoying.

I need to buy my PSU from a shop in the UK. The list of available products is above.

My PSU has blown up (or so it seems, it won't turn on). It's an Antec Trupower 380S (http://www.silentpcreview.com/article61-page1.html) which has been running more-or-less continuously for 5 years in my Sonata case My load is a Q9550 CPU, 8GB of RAM, 3 SATA hard drives, DVD, an ATI X1650...

I'm having problems. My E6600 on P5B-E Plus won't boot above 360MHz FSB (using ram good to DDR2-1066) (i've tried 450MHz Fsb, 400MHz fsb, down at 6* multiplier). At 360, Orthos has just failed after 11 minutes. At the instant of failure (I think - more-or-less), Asus PC Probe has alerted...

nope

I have a Asus P5B-E Plus, Radeon X1650 Pro, Antec TruPower 380w, plus 2 SATA drives and 1 IDE drive. I've loaded the Asus Probe programme, and it's giving alarms about VCore dropping: [03/17/2007 at 11:44 am] Vcore Voltage Abnormal, 1.11 V [03/17/2007 at 11:44 am] Vcore Voltage become...

I've got a retail C2D E6600 installation in an asrock mboard. I'm ditching the Asrock and putting it in an Asus P5B-E Plus wth an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. Should I just move the CPU over and put the heatsink on top using the Intel paste that's already on the chip, or do I need to get...

Looking to upgrade my skt754 asrock integrated video motherboard. I've currently got 2GB DDR PC3200 RAM. I'm getting a E6600 Conroe chip. I don't have any video needs at all - no games. Just fast CPU. Ideally I would like an integrated gfx motherboard. Are there any? Also, if...

the more interesting result of this pretty good article is that the sempron 2800+ is poor value in comparison to the 2600+. It should probably be renamed the 2700+. The extra cache makes a small difference to the performance, certainly not as much as the extra 200 PR points suggest. Even in...

Hi. I have just built my new Sempron 2800+ system with Asrock K8-Upgrade 760GX motherboard. It's a nice fast system (the onboard graphics are pretty crappy, I tried one game and I got bad artifacts using hardware acceleration, but it's fine for what I use it for (2D stuff in Windows - web...
