I finally placed my orders yesterday. I went with the i3-4160 CPU and, after much deliberation, picked the Gigabyte G1.Sniper H6 motherboard. The enhanced (if the marketing is to be believed) audio features on that line of boards caught my attention, as I'm a wannabe audiophile. Though I can't...
Hah, that's awesome the power supply from the shelved project is that Antec!
It's good to know about the adapter option too. I think it's probably not the PSU's fault, since the system is totally stable while running (the problems happen mid-boot). But I could be wrong.
Also good to...
OK, fair point. Thanks for the other links. Gigabyte fan?
Yup, I want four slots for RAM. Seems the main difference that could affect me is in the USB port mix, but it's probably not a significant factor.
Umm uhh evidently I bought it in 2006. Though this one might be a warranty...
Thanks for the recommendation and deal links, lehtv. The reviews are rough on that motherboard… I'd rather spend a little more now if it would save me trouble or last longer. I'm trying to get up to speed on the current chipsets — any good overviews out there? I'm not having a lot of...
I have a DIY office system I've upgraded piecemeal as the need arose. Currently I'm having problems whenever I have to shut down the computer (it's fine as long as it's on, even in standby). I suspect the motherboard or CPU, which I bought used, and I'm looking to replace them. As my budget is...
I changed it, and now "dminimal" shows up in the first column.. I looked at a few other profiles and they're displayed the same way. It's minor, though.
You mean that display of that field in profiles simply isn't enabled by the forum administrators? I'm pretty certain there's no option for me to make it visible.
The profile form has a box for Heatware, which I assume is for the address at which one's evaluations can be found. However, nothing shows up in my profile when I fill in that box. Why is that? How can it be fixed?
Well, I did get an order in at Googlegear for our favorite motherboard, on roughly the fifth try. (I finally figured out that they don't like Opera, my usual browser.) But it's good to read that sales might not be discontinued.
By the way, thanks for the thoughts on how best to add USB ports. I...
Ouch. I've been searching around for an nForce2 motherboard, and my favorite is certainly the SL-75FRN2-L (largely thanks to this thread), but that price jump hurts. Is Googlegear the best place to get it now?
In fact, I just became a member so I could ask a (n00b) question about it: to get...
