Current setup - 1 x seagate scsi 36.7gb via adaptec 21960N PCI card
Everything boots up fine and works like a dream. When i add a WD 200GB IDE HD , it seems to halt at BIOS for a good min , then it goes onto load windows and that takes minutes where without it it tooks seconds.
So far...
I have built up an Asus SK8V mobo with FX-53 cpu , with corsair 2x512 ram and a seagate cheetah 36.7 gb HDD ( or thereabouts). I get my computer up and running fine with just that setup. i have added a pioneer dvd writter and a dvd-rom fine as secondary master & slave. Only when i try to fix...
Does anyone actually know if the fans supplied with the case are anygood or is it better to go out and buy some Zalman/coolermaster or vantec one's ?
They do seem to be silent but doesn't seem to be pushing much air in/out to me or maybe it's just me.
Many thanks peeps.
Any idea's which one i should get ? there are a few topics iv been reading. Tagan and Enermax seem to be the good makes with OCZ. Was looking at
Tagan 420W - http://www.planetmicro.co.uk/p...&stockcode=M003979
Enermax noisetakes -...
YOu guys got an idea's which i should get ? a 480 watt ? 550 watt ? i dont really want to spend too much (£65/$120)

Well its not hard to find , ust more expensive here. There are very few mobos forthe fx 940 anyways so the oneihave found i have ordered. Buti jus wanted to make sure everything isok before i actually bought the stuff but thanks anyways.
UNFORTUNATLY i have just figured that out. however i am on the hunt. Because i live in the UK it is high however i am probably just going to order them from ebay.com who will ship to the UK , the prices then seem more in my range! so ill save money as well!
yeah its a 940 socket. See the thing is when im ordering the mobo and ram , it doesnt state whether its reg or not. just says the usual stuff. There has been one site which did state it was reg but it wasnt branded. jus said it was a major brand reg ram.
cheers tarant and milky. i dont know , i tried looking it up but couldnt find an answer. see milky i need registered ram with the cpu n mobo , besides i wont be overclocking at either. corsair is a little 2 much for me to spend so i might get crucuail value select or Geil ram. im still deciding...
See i know i need registered ram for the cpu and mobo. But very few sites actually tell you whether it is reg or not. Is there another way of finding out if it doesn't tell u in the item description ? iv heard unbuffered ram is best to get for games etc.
any idea's ?
i found this , http://www.asus.com.tw/support...upport/cpusupport.aspx for the mobo i was going to get.
So after analyzing the piss take replies am assuming you boot up with the CPU but if the bios won't accept it then where would it actually get me ? or would it give me an option ?

i am looking to get a asus sk8v mobo but might need to flash it to accept my cpu , fx-53. How do u actually flash the mobo bios without a cpu ??? or i is it relativly easy to do ?
help plz!!
thanks.
Ok lads , i have bought a 64 bit fx-53 processor off ebay for $470 which i think is a bargain since i am in the UK and it retails here for over £500 . Anyways i now am looking for a mobo and registered ram , am i right in saying i would need reg ram for it ?
Any idea's lads ?
cheers
p.s...
How easy is it to oc ? i read articles about voltage settings and decent cooling etc. Is it jus about increasing the multiply rating in the bios ? and also because of the mobo ppl have itmightlimit the overlockability.
Yeah inoticed that aswell. Hard to cum by. only seen it on ebay but was going for roughly £110 (roughly $200). might aswell add a few more pounds on and get a 3400 64 amd n a decent mobo. But even then my urrent setup does seem to do fine , half life 2 seems to run fine on a decent res without...
I currently have a p4 2.4 cpu. I have 768mb pc 2700 ram and a ATI x800 pro gcard. I was looking to u/g my cpu. Is it worth upgrading to a amd 64 3200 at all because although its a good CPU i would rather get something like a 3500 but not willing to pay that much for a CPU at this moment of time...
I have a desktop pc linked to my w/less Belkin router ( f5d7231uk4) through a cable. but my laptop os connected through the wireless connection. The internet seems to work fine on both pc and laptop however i cant seem to gain access to either computers hd. I have been through the seyup wizrd...
