    5770 Power Requirements

    I checked on google, all I could find is they recommend a minimum of 450W. Does anyone know the current required on the 12V rails? I really want to used this with a 300W TFX PSU and it only has 21A on the 12V rails. I would be pairing it with a Q9550S (65W TDP). Thanks

    intel x25-m kingston SSD question

    Hello everyone, I currently have an x25-m and i was wondering if i could raid it with a kingston ssd. I know the kingston SSD is a rebadged intel one, but is there any difference in the drive bios? Does the kingston SSD show up as an intel x25-m in the system bios? Thanks!

    Computer keeps restarting

    Computer keeps restarting

    I reinstalled vista and no changes. It never reboots when i am using it, just when it is idle and not doing anything. I am going to run some memtests, other than that perhaps i have a defective board. Anyone have any other ideas?

    Computer keeps restarting

    No overclocking is being done. The temps are stable around ~40deg. There is little to no CPU usage on this machine when it is rebooting. I tried updating my ich10R drivers. Hopefully that did something. I am also doing a virus scan to make sure. If it doesn't get better than i will try...

    Best Hard Drives for RAID 5

    I am planning on building a NAS this weekend. The WD RE3's look pretty sweet but they are pricey. I am currently eying the Caviar Blacks. I am going to get 4 x 1TB. I was also looking at the Samsung Spinpoint 1TB's and the Seagate 7200.11 1TB and 1.5TB. Due to the high failure rate of the...

    Best Motherboard for SLI setup?

    if you are dead set on SLI then you are pretty much stuck with a 750i or 780i board. I would probably ditch the raptor.

    Abit IX38 onboard sound

    Anyone know what onboard soundcard this has? Is it good enough for 7.1 analog output for Blu Rays? Or am i better off going with a DS4? Should i just scrap the onboard sound all together? I am using this thing for an HTPC and gaming rig.

    Building new HTPC/gaming rig

    Thanks, i will keep that in mind. Anyone have any input on whether or not I should be going with CF or SLI? The intel chipsets are much better. They have better onboard sound, i am sort of leaning towards CF as an option now.

    Onboard sound for DTS-MA

    I am just curious as to what onboard sound cards are good enough to decode DTS-MA. Can the Realtek 883 do it? Does the 888A do it? I am better off just scrapping the onboard sound and getting a third party card? I will be using the analog outs to my receiver (Onkyo 805).

    No video output

    No, but that shouldn't matter... It won't boot to bios.. The stuff i had was x1900xt Gigabyte DQ6 and Corsair 620HX. I changed to Antec 850 Quattro, Gigabyte DS3R. I gotta do some testing tonight with a new videocard and memory... i doubt it is the memory though.
