    MSI NF4 Ultra Board - Connector questions

    pulsedrive: Thanks for the response. Unfortunately the manual (all of one page), just defines the connector (Fan Monitor Connector). No additional information is supplied, and no pin out is given. -snap-

    MSI NF4 Ultra Board - Connector questions

    This is a newbie question, and one where the answer is probably obvious, so any assistance would be most appreciated: I have an MSI Neo 4 Platinum mobo, and a Seasonic Super Silencer PSU. I am hooking up the case fans and the PSU, and a couple questions came up: 1. --- (answered) 2...

    Bonesdad - what was the issue with your card? If you decide upon another card, please let me know as I am trying to figure out a substitute card for a Leadtek. -snap-

    Leadtek PX6600 GT discontinued?

    I've emailed Leadtek and will let you know if I get a response back from them. I called Newegg regarding this card, and they indicated that since it is no longer on their site, they are no longer carrying it. ZZF was unable to give me an ETA. All other retailers that I have checked do not...

    Leadtek 6600 GT (PCI-E) - Available?

    Does anybody know whether or not the Leadtek 6600GT PCI-E card has been discontinued or when retailers like Newegg.com or Zipzoomfly.com might get the card in stock? Is there another retailer that I don't know about that has it in stock (not at some exhorbitant price). Finally, and I know...

    Good looking shelves for displaying cases

    It looks like you're looking at AV racks. A site that I purchased my stereo rack from is http://www.racksandstands.com Their prices are reasonable, and their service seemed to be impeccable. Hope this helps. Good luck! -snap-

    AMD 3500 winchester

    Actually $273 was for retail, I've been following the retail 3500 prices closely. So when might we expect Venice chips to be available in online retailers? I'm looking to complete my build, and need to buy the mobo and CPU. -snap-

    A64 939 3500+ Clawhammer (not Newcastle)

    Anybody have any idea of what the power consumption of the chip is at stock clock speeds? I'm just wondering if it is more power hungry than a Newcastle, Winchester, etc? Thanks. -snap-

    GB GA-K8N Ultra9 -or- DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D

    Actually, after doing some reading on HardForums, I am back to leaning towards the MSI. Main reason being the passive cooling on the GB, which has spelled trouble for a number of people - early board failures, etc. Good luck with the DFI. I was thinking of getting that board, but the lack...

    GB GA-K8N Ultra9 -or- DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D

    Serial/Parallel are important to me - Parallel printer, granted I could get a new printer, but why bother? Serial is great for doing side-projects, when you need to connect a piece of hardware to the serial port. Again, I could use my current PC to do that stuff, but why bother...

    GB GA-K8N Ultra9 -or- DFI LanParty UT nF4 Ultra-D

    I'm interested in both boards you've mentioned, plus the MSI NF4 Ultra board. I am leaning away from the DFI due to RAM issues that some have encountered, plus the fact that it does not have all the ports that the MSI offers. I'm curious to know if the Gigabyte mobo will have any issues with...

    MSI K8N Neo4 Ultra Northbridge Fan

    Have any of you looked at the Gigabyte GA-K8N ULTRA-9 nForce4 Ultra board? They seem to use a passive cooling solution for the chipset. I'm wondering if heat is an issue, but I have not found any reviews that address this. -snap-

    Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9 Review??

    Looked at the specs, and it looks like the same as the GA-K8NXP-9, save for the 802.11 PCI card and DPS. The one difference I've noticed between this board and other NF4 Ultras, is that there is no fan on the chipset. Do you think heat could be a major issue? Reviews of the GA-K8NXP-9 did not...

    Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9 Review??

    Does anybody have any reviews on the Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-9? I see this board going for $155 on Newegg and have been wondering if it is worth getting over the MSI K8N Neo 4. Also, I see a number of different Gb LAN solutions, be it Marvell, nVidia, and others. Is there any difference...

    USB Card Reader Not Recognized

    All right, let me make this as succinct as possible: - Been using a USB 2.0 card reader in my USB 1.1 machine for over a year. It is a 6-in-1 reader by EDGE Technologies. - Running Windows 2000 SP4. No issues whatsoever. - Today, for some reason the various drives related to the...

    PSU - 24 Pin Question

    I've looked around for the answer to this question, and can't seem to find a solid answer. When searching on Newegg for a PSU, how do I determine the number of pins the MoBo connector has (without looking at the pic and counting the pins)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -snap-

    Case Dilemma - CM WaveMaster, TT Tsunami, SS TJ-05

    You all must think I'm anal...well I am. I want a door to hide the drives. It looks a lot better when the drives aren't in use. Plus, that's less opportunity for dust to get in. So yeah, the Antec P180 looks pretty cool, but it sounds like it'll be expensive, and won't be out for another...

    Case Dilemma - CM WaveMaster, TT Tsunami, SS TJ-05

    Actually, the issue with the SS is the LENGTH. Most cases are 18-19" long (deep), but the SS is 24.3" deep. It's that's a good 5-6" longer than most other cases. I wondered if the specifications were accurate, but from what I understand, they are quite accurate. Otherwise, the case from...

    Case Dilemma - CM WaveMaster, TT Tsunami, SS TJ-05

    I am currently in the market for a new case for my new build, and have narrowed it down to three choices - CM WaveMaster, TT Tsunami, and SS TJ-05. I really want a case that looks simple yet classy, runs quietly, and is built well. Below are what I believe to be the pros/cons of each case...

    Silverstone TJ05 install issues...

    I'm looking at getting this case, only I have a couple concerns. Is it REALLY 24.5" deep!? This seems ridiculously deep, and if that is in fact true, then I have to rig up a new desk placement solution. The second question is how loud/quiet is the case when running under an idle state...

    What is the best 6600gt PCI-E

    I am in the same boat as you, except I am getting a 6600GT for an AMD system. I am more concerned with reliability, and have narrowed it down to Leadtek, BGF, Chaintech, and eVGA. Does anybody have any suggestions??
