Guys,
I've only ever built 1 MSI computer before, so please don't scream it this is OBVIOUS.
I just built my SECOND MSI build using an ZH77A-G43.
Now this mobo uses H77 and it cannot overclock, so I put an i5-2400 in it. According to intel website, it can only use 1333 memory, but according...
This topic isn't really political in nature, but figured to be safe, I'd put it here.
For me, obama care will either:
1. Raise my taxes significantly
2. Raise my health insurance cost at least 300%
I am a contractor and my company does not provide any health insurance plans. Thus I currently...
I know how to calculate sq footage but this makes it cryptic. I applied for this apartment site unseen, but now i'm second guessing the square footage.
If anyone can figure out how the INTERIOR space adds up to 820 let me know. Showing math would be helpful. I'm thinkin its more like 650ish and...
I recently saw an ad on my local CL offering windows 7 professional (retail) for $80. Genuinely interested I emailed him and talked him down to $60 and met him in the parking lot of a local business. Upon inspecting the package I determined it to be counterfeit, told him he had better stop doing...
Recently built one of these because I wanted to play around with it. So far i'm impressed. But it seems to achieve 1085mhz on the gpu (7660d) I have to push it all the way to 1.375v. Maybe slightly less but it crashed at 1.35v.
I have a big zalman optima 120mm HDT heatsink on there so temps...
The fan on my Enermax 920W Revo85+ completely stopped today and forced my computer to abruptly shut down. I checked on the PSU and it was extremely hot so I guess I know the overtemp protection works
After 15 mins I booted the comp up no problem but psu fan wasn't spinning and smelled...
As a lot of people will report, time warner is now charging a cable modem fee for all new customers or customers who change plans (like I have). Its only $2.50/month in my case ($4 in nyc I hear) but its enough that it made me start researching cable modems.
I'm posting this here because i've...
I have an AE1000 adapter in my laptop which is dual band. I have a client that has a dual band network 2.4ghz and 5ghz in which the 2.4ghz network is only ag while the 5ghz is n. Since the SSIDs of both 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks are identical, windows does not allow me to select the 5ghz band and...
I recently built a portable gaming right with the following specs:
Pentium g630 2.7ghz sandybridge
H61 uATX mobo
8GB ram
MSI 7770 1ghz edition
2TB HD
Unfortunately in BF3 it is stutter city. I recently determined that its likely because the CPU is only 2 threads. In my tests when I...
I recently installed the intel driverto add a 3rd monitor and my power control sliders are missing from my 2 6970s. I tried uninstalling ati drivers then reinstalling, didn't help. I uninstalled intel, and boom, power sliders are back.
Is this a known issue and is there a resolution? I'd really...
I have a 4 drive RAID5 array of 2TB hitachi drives using the onboard ICH10R onboard controller. A recent sequence of events has caused this to go into failure. This sequence is as follows.
I recently changed around video cards which caused my system bios to somehow restore default settings. The...
Hi all, i'm having difficulty in narrowing down the "perfect case" for what I want. It may not exist, or it may and I haven't seen it yet, or.. it may be coming out soon. Your opinions please!
I will be air cooling with the following priority needs:
1. 6+ HD bays. First and foremost I have...
My cable modem is out until at least saturday (earliest avilable tech appointment to fix whatever the problem is) so i'm barely chugging along using my phone (sprint evo 4g) as a hotspot to 2 of my computers which have wireless (wifi 2.4ghz) adapters. I'm wondering however, if its possible for...
I've been waiting on a deal on 3 new monitors for eyefinity. Well, yesterday it happened... $185 for the Asus ve248h monitor at newegg. So I call fry's, they have one on display. So I drive up there and lo and behold they have crysis 2 playable eyefinity on 3 samsung 23" md230s (tiny bezels)...
I'm building a system for a client and I "assured" him that "most likely" the sempron 140 would unlock to a dual core. So far no such luck. I have tried "Core unlock" and a few other things in the bios. Is there a guide for this? Will it not work period?
Oh and I suggested this mobo because...
I want to mod an old Antec SX1040BI by putting a 120mm fan mount on the side door. I believe it is standard .8mm (22gauge) steel. I called home depot to see if they do anything like that and they said no way. I called back to the tool rental department and was basically laughed at. Aside from...
As the title suggests, i'm looking to possibly buy 3 of these for eyefinity. Im looking for the thinnest bezel and sadly, this spec is never listed for a monitor. Can someone with this monitor do me a favor and measure the left bezel to the first active pixel?
I've decided to pull the trigger on buying an eyefinity setup, up to $1000 total to upgrade my gaming. I have an odd situation in that I use my computer for work, for games and as an HTPC. What this currently means is:
Video cards:
MSI 5750 x2 OC to 5770s (roughly) that I software crossfire...
I'm really surprised to see all these people building new systems with 1155. With 2011 only a few months off and promising (among other things) PCIexpress 3, native USB3, and high futurerpoofing, I am really at a loss. I know in the computer world "the next big thing" is always a few months off...
Current setup:
For games/computing/music:
Chaintech AV-710 Audio 2Ch --> Boston Acoustics BA4800 2CH (really old but quality speakers)
DVI from AMD 5750 to monitors
For bluraymovies/watching divx, etc:
Video: AMD 5750 via HDMI --> TV Samsung 46" LN46C630
Audio: AMD 5750 via HDMI -->...
I have the system described in my signature.
Last week I decided to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, but.. decided to attempt to mix and match my dims. Unfortunately, I can't get them to play together (well).
Asus P5Q Pro, latest bios (2122)
Sticks in slot 1, 3: G.Skill F2-8000CL5-2GBPQ (2GB each...
I've had my DGL-4300 since about 2004 I think and it is a trooper. I had to replace the power block on it once, as it died about 3 years in.
The reason I want to replace it is because I want to watch 720p TV/movies over LAN wifi from home server to my laptop and my apt is just too noisy with...
I have a raid5 using the ICH10R on my current system. I have googled this to death to see if I simply moved the array to the P67, would it recognize it? Has anyone done this?
I have had great success moving from an ICH9R to ICH10R without rebuild, hoping this would be the same controller? As...
I am currently using the aging system (2.5years old for core components) in my signature. I usually upgrade complete systems every 3-4 years or when cpus are at least 2x as fast (for reasonable money). For my next upgrade I'd like to see the following:
1. Mobo with PCI Express 3.0 with xfire or...
As the title suggests, inSSIDer shows 57 2.4ghz networks seen from my bedroom :( No wonder my wireless in my apt sucks! I moved my network to the channel with the least # of networks, but due to channel overlap I still see disconnects, etc.. although MUCH less now.
At any rate - I have a few...
Talking to a friend yesterday who said it was "insane" that I play blackops and WoW on my 5+ year old 2405fpw. I looked up specs and it is listed as:
I really dont notice any ghosting or artifacts in games - but then, i've never gamed outside of this thing so maybe motion blur and lag are...
The rig in question is the one in my sig.
Its the strangest thing: When my computer is idle (or not using anything graphic intensive) my 1st 5750 has a clock/mem rate of 157/300. The second card however is set to 400/1150. The full clock speeds here are 700/1150. Does anyone have a solution...
I have a client who has this enormous quickbooks database.. but enormous by quickbooks standards is 750MB :)
Anyway, they experience extreme slowness when savign (writing) a transation and refuse to reduce the size of this thing. They are running this DB on a 160GB drive which may not even be...
the comp in my sig at stock 2.83ghz cpu I get the following:
MSI 5750 stock speeds: 3dmark06: 13736 (5390,6233,4200)
MSI 5750x2 in crossfire: 3dmark06: 15,727 (5773, 8001, 4221)
Is this normal?
I am using the FREE 3dmark06 so its only 1280x1024... so I think it *COULD* be normal...
Any ideas?
PowerDVD 10 (trial) loads but when I go to play ANY video file, dvd or blu-ray it crashes.
I have both an Nvidia 8800GT and I brand new ATI 5750 in my comp. Would this cause conflict?
CCC: 10.4
Nvidia: 197.45
Hey guys,
newegg JUST sold out of the $120 hitachi 2TB drives.. boo. Actually, I bought the last 2 they had. I needed 4. Now I have a question:
I have an ICH10R raid controller which so far as has been really great for my needs in a raid 5. But I need to upgrade the drives as 900GB array...
I have an 8800GT that is over 2 years old. I use it for gaming but most importantly I use it for 2xDVI to my monitors.
I just added a 46" samsung 1080p tv that needs an HDMI connection. So, time for a second card.
Since the 8800GT is aging, im stuck between
1. Buying a new card that...
Solution found:
Turns out the P5Q (in my configuration) does not supply enough power to the 2nd PCI express slot for stable running for a card WITHOUT a 6pin power adapter. Even the low end Geforce 210 could not get enough power directly from the mobo. Hope this thread helps someone out...
Strangest thing,
I have a winxp machine with a hard drive that has a bunch of shared files over the network. Today I went to go look at one of the directories and got this error:
"C:\local\path\to\directory" refers to a location that is unavailable.
I ran a checkdisk with auto recovery...
I have a user with a laptop with excel 2003 - service pack 3 on office standard, all latest updates.
I am printing to an enterprise printer RICOH Aficio MP 5000 PCL 5e
Shapes (rectangle in this case) that are white are printing black.
I've tried to replicate this on another excel 2003...
Anyone know whether the xp mode has built in Network Level Authentication? The reason I ask is because I can remote into my xp mode from within my domain and network, but can't seem to connect outside the network. Since there are no settings for remote desktop except "enable" I'm wondering if...
My first computer in 1995 was a Pentium 1 90mhz with an 850MB HD and 8MB of ram.
It cost $2300.
Ram was $40 per megabyte.
Today due to my recent need to run some virtual machines of windows 2008 I installed some extra memory that pushed my system to 8GB total. Not a huge amount by...
Ok I have a Konica Minolta magiccolor 5430DL on the network at ip 192.168.1.105 on a linksys WRT310N router.
I have a windows xp machine and a vista machine. Both of them can see the printer on the network without issue, but neither can ADD the printer. When I see the printer on the network...
I came home from being out 24 hours. Door was open to my room, room mate's dog had gotten into my trash. I'm 90% sure I closed (and latched) door when I left yesterday and if so, dog couldn't of gotten in. But also, uTorrent was closed on my computer.
There any way to tell when uTorrent was...
