    SN85G4v2 Power Supply = Dead

    Hello All. Two months ago, I had problems turning my computer back on. It seemed as though it had shorted. It would either turn right back off within a second or it would get as far as detecting my array and crash. I gave the computer a few days off and it corrected itself and all has been...

    Loud HD2600pro Fan

    Hello all. I have an HD2600pro. It works well, catalyst control center works well, etc. BUT The fan is obnoxiously loud. CCC does not over any solutions for fan control... and I know ATI Tools does - but if I were to install ATI Tray Tools... would that interfere with CCC's functioning...

    In need of your Wisdom.

    I have a Shuttle (in my sig) that HAD a 9800xt in it. The card died the other day and now I am in need of a replacement. My power supply is 250w, though the 9800xt ran well for 3 years and I have heard that the 250 SHOULD be sufficient for most anything (though, clearly, some of you may know...

    Connecting Computer to 37 inch LCD HDTV.

    I have a 37 inch VIZIO LCD HDTV. It has a plethora of connection options.. among them HMDI. According to VIZIO themselves, other sources, and general common sense, HDMI offers the highest picture quality. Logic then dictates that given my 9800xt's DVI out... I should purchase a DVI to HDMI cable...

    Attention: Fan Control

    I have hooked up an ATI Silencer to my 9800xt. Now, as before, the card itself decides how fast the fan should be spinning to accomodate certain temperatures. Is there any way to over ride the card's controls and do it solo? i know this is possible to do to virtually every other fan with...
