    system won't power on

    Hi So a new system I'm trying to put together won't power on. When I hit the power switch, the psu makes a high pitched noise for a split second and then nothing happens. Hitting the power switch again doesn't make any noise until I flip the psu off and back on, and then it makes the high...

    9800 pro to xt

    I've been doing some reading and it seems that an R360 core and Hynix memory are the things to have to flash your 9800 pro to an xt. I have the hynix memory, but an R350 core. I will be getting a vga silencer rev 3 in a couple of days, so I was wondering if it was worth it or not. Comments...

    Well, as we all know, the stock cooling with the radeon 9800 pro is about as useful as a jpg to Hellen Keller, so I'm looking for a new cooling solution. Right now, the two that I am looking at the most are the Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer Rev 3 (http://www.xoxide.com/vgasilencer1.html) and the...

    My +3.3 rail on my Antec TrueBlue 480W psu was reading 2.6 on MBM, so I RMA'ed it. In meantime, I borrowed a psu from a friend. This power supply isn't exactly the best power supply ever. I think he bought it for like 15 bucks on clearance. The thing is, the 3.3 rail on this is also at 2.6...
