    PSU Help?

    I did the same thing as your friend, I didn't swap out the mobo when I had the chance (first rig build and thought psh that could never happen to me.) Right now I'm doing a memtest just to make sure once that's done I'll swap the SATA devices to the new ports. Can I still swap mobos or did I...

    PSU Help?

    1. January, I built it with the release of the 6950's and sandy bridge stuff 2. If you mean the recalled versions and such no its not. I kept my mobo 3. I'm using port 5 I believe, that's what I recall from when I last checked the bios

    PSU Help?

    Update: checked all cables, reseated my ram, made sure everything is proper, checked for scorch marks on the mobo. It turned on just fine but I still get problems with my hard drive "hanging" or not being detected or what ever you would like to call the issue. Maybe it isnt a psu issue.

    PSU Help?

    A little story here, about a week and a half ago I came back from vacation and found that my hdd would stop responding, (to me this means that all processes such as internet browser, foobar, games, irc, and windows would all lock up) I was told to get a new hdd which I did. In fact it arrived...

    The thing is I don't want to be upgrading 2-3 years. More like 5~ and get a whole new rig cause technology is advancing really quickly

    Looking for feedback on my i5-2500k build please

    you're also paying a lot for a case too. what type of case are you looking for? just a mid tower or...? the antec 300 is a great mid tower for a fraction of the price

    Looking for feedback on my i5-2500k build please

    why dont you wait till tonight for the new sale? they will probably have bundle deals or something. the 6950's should be re-stocked so you wont be paying a premium for them either. also you can take the dvd drive out of your current computer can you not?

    Gaming rig help.

    Ok, but I'm on a 1500 budget. Which really is enough to buy a near top of the line gaming computer and the xfire 6950's are best bang for your buck at my budget iirc. I probably will end up dropping the 2600k down to a 2500k but I'm missing out on the larger cache and threads. The PSU I'm...

    My OS is going on my SSD. why is xfiring 6950's that bad? I'm fine with you saying my build is bad and all, just give good reasons not analogies. What did i "cheap out" on other then the PSU? I looked at reviews of the hitachi and they like it... Yes it's not the best HD but its mid-high tier...

    Sadly I can't return my current PSU so... I'll have to figure out what to do with it. Personally I hate MIR's cause I've never figured out how exactly they work. I'll just look to invest in a better PSU and post asking if it's worth it...

    New build: Need help

    i5-2500k is a new processor by intel, sli/xfire means you would be using two gpus (graphics cards) generally builds don't include peripherals like monitors or keyboards/mice or speakers. Also fans and heatsinks you should stick with stock ones unless you want to overclock.

    I feel like I don't have much of choice in being able to get a good deal on a good PSU, I guess I'll have to return/sell my current one. What about motherboards? What should I be looking for in those? EDIT: ncix has the 850w for 120...

    Gaming rig help.

    I'm pretty bad with computer parts, so one of my friends is helping me build it. I'm guessing I will need a bigger PSU? Also, my mistake it was this PSU I purchased http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=35456 for $45
