    PSU With >8 SATA Connectors

    I prefer to use the SATA connectors because it makes cabling look neater. Molex connectors are always on the far right which makes it harder to conceal, whereas the SATA power connector is behind(if ur looking @ it from the right) the SATA connector. I've never had any connectors break or fall...

    PSU With >8 SATA Connectors

    Awesome, thanks a lot man. My only concern with these is reliability. I've read that modular PSUs can be pretty iffy(lot of voltage variation on the lines). I actually have a friend though who just bought the Antec and he seems to be doing fine. My only worry with these multiple rail PSUs is...

    PSU With >8 SATA Connectors

    So I'm looking for a PSU that can handle ~9 hard drives, all SATA plus a SATA CD Drive (10SATA Connectors total, but I could live with 9). From the somewhat extensive research and my own personal knowledge (~10yrs), it looks like my only choice is PPC&C. The only problem is that the only PSU...

    hd htpc?

    I have a basic guide on building computers... A HD HTPC will prolly be pretty tricky. Unless you live in Europe or Asia, theres nothing that I know of that will capture HDTV. All current US solutions only capture over the air broadcasts(could be wrong about this). If I were you tho, I'd plan...

    So what did I screw up?

    Does it make any beeps? Sometimes, if somethings wrong, the BIOS will be able to give a few beeps, which will give us a few answers. Check your RAM placement as well. I've never known it to cause this severe of a problem however. I'd double check your front connector panel... Man, this...

    So what did I screw up?

    Can you get into your BIOS at all? If so, you might wanna check some of the settings. RAM settings and boot priority is the only thing coming to mind now...

    So what did I screw up?

    so what do you have hooked up to your computer(hard drive/ optical drive wise, and what type of connectors-PATA<-(check jumper settings) or SATA)? This is a really interesting problem... Try powering up w/o the CD drive plugged into the mobo.

    So what did I screw up?

    interesting... what system are you running, and what is ur PSU rated at? Also, are you running a mobo with the newer 24 pin ATX connector and a PSU with a 20 pin ATX connector?

    Motherboard or memory to blame?

    i'd check to make sure you have the latest bios revision. If the CAS2.5 RAM isn't working, you could try to set the timings higher. This should help stability. As for the CAS3 ram you mentioned... not sure.... could be a BIOS problem...

    I screwed up.

    There is software out there that you can try to get the data back with. You will need to hook her drive into another computer however(you can't use these titles while booting off of the same drive). GOogle data recovery software, and you should find a few things. I did a few years back, but @...

    Memtest86 Stable But XP BSODs

    I've been fooling around with the settings, and I've found that I can't boot into windows if i change my timings. I've tried running 2.5-4-3-7 at stock speeds, and I'm unable to boot. So I'm not quite sure what to make of that.... Could it really be my CPU?

    Cell & XBOX 360 Architecture

    just read this in the cpu forums" Hmm, Sony up to the same old BS as usual. As to my knowledge, the xbox 360 has a four fold advantage over the PS3 in regard to raw processing power. The Sony unit (CELL) has a tested output of somewhere in the area of 200-250Gflop. Now architectural differences...

    After going all over the internet, I've found that there is no place where you can go to find good reviews on products. So I've decided to create my own. So far there aren't any members (except me) but I think it could become pretty big. Below is a link if you would like to add your own...

    SATA RAID 0 Problems... Frequent?

    yeah, even tho my problems stemmed from my drivers, it took me 4ever to get it up and running properly. I got a gigabyte mobo and the drivers that came with it sucked, I had to go to the manufacturers web sites and download em. Maybe its just gigabyte-they didn't provide that much info on how...
