    Asus branded HD 7750 or the Gigabyte branded one?

    Windows XP = more performance for games than the other newer OSs... And the GTX460, as I believe, requires a 6-pin dedicated power connector to power the graphics card externally of which the current PSU cannot support...well actually it's got one, but seeing how it's only got one 18A for the...

    Uh-huhhhh.....so I guess I'd get better return for, say a 2000 watt PSU...?

    My "Dedicated Movie Drive" gone....

    Well, it would appear that R-Studio gave up....after I saw it eat up all 2GB of RAM......actually, it wasn't even on! The moment I came to checkup on it, it wasn't even running! ..and no one touched the computer except me......and so when the monitor flicked on, I saw all 2GB of RAM was used...

    Oh. ^_^:D Less cables that aren't used means that the insides of the computer case will be more tidy!:biggrin: ....:hmm: well, provided that they galvanise or whatever they do to protect the metal from corrosion and the like, I'm fine with it....^_^

    Alright....amps must be the same and wattage as well....same number of rails I would guess.....or total amperage for total +12v..... Uh-huh.... Yeah...true....espicially high end to enthusiast graphics cards....... I heard there isn't much difference between "modular" and normal PSUs.....just...

    Okay.:thumbsup::) Yes..but how can you tell *if* it's just as "powerful" as other 650watt PSUs? Do you just read and compare the specs?:\ Manufactures design their PSU with limited power connector cables for a reason....maybe they had a good reason to not have that many PCIE power connectors...

    Fixing a "dead" graphics card?

    Um...huh.... I heard that it is possible for the capacitors to *leak* or and *burst* and the PCB board to *warp* after this....also if it "de-solders" the chips on the back of the card; the card's obviously not going to work after *baking*...:hmm: Also I surveyed some people and most, well...

    Enermax Plaitmax EPM850EWT

    :o:\Hmmm.... So I *apparently* can only get up to 70A of total usuage of all the +12v rails? - Interesting....and I had thought the PSU's four rails can make the 30A limit together, regardless of Wattage the PSU can handle... Oh, so PSUs *don't* have to be certified to be SLI/CF ready; provided...

    Hi all, just some questions regarding this PSU that I bought for $300, a few weeks ago, and intend to use it on my next gaming rig(I'm just buying little bits and pieces at a time and eventually when I have a complete set, I'll start putting it all together :))...so far I've only got two in my...

    My "Dedicated Movie Drive" gone....

    Hm, well in Linux, it should still be able to recover those files and folders even if windows shows as "unallocated space" ...hm, I guess you may be right....I can't remember either what happened last time to me....but I do know that my Puppy can recover files from a *screwed* up HDD.....but...

    My "Dedicated Movie Drive" gone....

    Erm.... If the partition table was deleted, then my Puppy would still be able to "see" the contents of the drive...now, in my case, the drive's "unallocated" somehow...could be a virus...you never know..but could just the HDD crap out on me...and decided to "unallocate" the data on the HDD...

    Asus branded HD 7750 or the Gigabyte branded one?

    Hm...well, from the two, I guess it boils down to preference....whether you like the more GPU core boost like the Gigabyte one is showing or a lighter yet "balanced" boost which does the memory and the GPU core clock as shown by the Asus one... Even if the other brands appear to be an OC'...

    My "Dedicated Movie Drive" gone....

    So....if there happens to be a *blackout* during the scan; well, apparently it's going to take more than three months, I'll have to restart the program from the start, and start again, yes? So when there's a power shortage for whatever reason(s), I'm screwed right? From my calculations (which...

    My "Dedicated Movie Drive" gone....

    So then, nearly eight days and still going is about right, yes? Apparently there's another two months left of time by the time if finally finishes scanning? The program is R-Studio Demo version.....it's been almost eight days straight scanning....and I'm getting errors...is this normal?

    Um, thanks for the replies, but that doesn't quite answer the question I had in my last reply...
