Building a new PC after almost 8 years. Some information on the use case: Primary use: Gaming, including VR Other uses: Media PC, basic photo/video editing, everyday use Decent amount of overclocking Most parts already purchased in the US but no boxes have been opened yet. Probably building it...

Ok based on above suggestions, I think I'm going to go with Gigabyte UD4P motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-409-_-Product - $157ish with rebate and Bing cashback. Also, lowering my PSU to Corsair 750W ($129): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-010-_-Product As...

Thanks guys. I do have 4 HDs (two old WD raptors for dual booting + 2 more) and the case I'm getting has quite a few fans so I was thinking of getting 850W PSU but seeing your replies, I'll just stick to 750W. As far as the motherboard and RAM goes, which one would you suggest from what I...

Please provide your feedback on following new build I'm planning. If there are any parts that are better and cheaper than what I've listed, please suggest. :) I'll be using the system for Gaming and as Media Center. I plan to do moderate overcloacking (not going for any records). For...

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah I intend to go with only one video card (HD5970). It's been tough finding a website with that video card in stock. I will probably end up waiting anyway until the end of this month to see what nVidia comes up with. If I do go crossfire/SLI route, I will...

Quick question regarding P55 architecture and using the USB3.0/SATA3.0. I have heard that on Gigabyte's motherboards, if you attempt to do crossfire/SLI, USB3.0/SATA3.0 will revert to 2.0 speed. I'm looking at building a new system with i7-860 and HD5970. Will only one video card (dual...

Yeah it has to be a damaged CPU. The AUTO to 2.2 was DRAM voltage. The VCORE in BIOS was set to 1.4V and CPUZ read ~1.375

I tried my roomates CPU (E6850) in my setup and it performed like it should of. Underload it cranked up to 3GHz like it should have. Then I put my CPU (E6700) in his setup, and the computer refuses to even start up all the way. Makes it to Windows logo and then turns off. Same thing as when...

Sorry I don't have a new CPU... it is the same one i had before computer died

So finally I got all my components back. Have a new cpu, and got my RAM and Motherboard checked/replaced through RMA department. I am up and running almost completely. My computer just didn't feel as fast as previously so I opened up CPU-Z and ran SuperPI (I haven't made any changes to bios...

I appreciate the advice. I am currently waiting on my PSU. I will post back as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks myocardia. Sorry it took me a while to respond. I was on vacation. :-) Anyway, that didn't work. I waited more than 2 hours before giving another attempt. Monitor is still not turning on. Computer turns on but monitor is still not turning on. The only constant has been memory...

This is my first time overclocking a computer and I need help getting it to turn on again. I read and followed the overclocking guide at the top of the message board. The last thing I did with the CPU was run it @ 3.2Ghz. Ran the Prime95 test for an hour without any errors. So after that I...

Hi everyone, I just finished building a new computer. However, I'm can't get monitor to turn on. My first PSU was DOA (mushkin 580W). So then, I bought OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU. My video card is HD2900XT. Initially when I turn on the computer, everything powers up, then it turns off in 2...

Problem solved. All I did was kept my computer off overnight, reset Linksys router in the morning, and voila.. it works! This is so random. I reset the router last night like gazillion times but it didn't work at that time and it worked in the morning. Anyway, thanks a lot nightowl and...
