Matt: If you're not getting anything, no POST or anything at all, most likely it's your PSU. See if you can borrow a hefty one and try it....
Good article on multiple core use in real-world apps / scenarios. From 2009 tho: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/multi-core-cpu,2280.html
You want to use BIOS to OC the CPU. There are a few different ones for GPU. You don't really *need* to, until you see the difference it can...
I think I'm going to throw down on a 6870 soon, although I never like ATi drivers. $200, and add another later.
If you want to feel really bad about your GPU, run 3dmark Vantage and watch the GTX260 get crushed. Only the newer Precision releases have the...
Yea, Deadspace runs nice and smooth. My card can do 745/1200, shader unlinked has to stay under 1500. No artifacting. 3dmark06, 20,788...
Two 460s will fly. You should look at 800+ W though. I'm not sure what to get next for GPU. The 260 overclocked can handle everything at...
If it's quality 550, not $45 550, it may be OK, but you're right that's pushing it. My main rig is only on a 600-something, but it's PC...
Clock it, Matt. Then just upgrade the vid. I've had a Q6600 running 3.6GHz daily for 2+ years. If it's the right stepping, they are very tough....
LOL! I literally had a 2600K, ASUS P8P67 Pro and 4GB Corsair DDR3 in a cart on Newegg last week. The Corsair RAM kit sold out WHILE I was...
I stick with ASUS and Gigabyte for OC. Gigabyte's enthusiast boards and GPUs are really solid overclockers, their mainstream stuff is soso. MSI...
I'd wait till after the recall! (Chipset recall)....
No need for dual slot on these. At full tilt I don't think they break 70C. I don't usually like the cards with coolers that just blow hot air...
One is IDE and the other is SATA. I kind of have a collection of 775 rigs between home and work. Fastest dual core I have, E8400 at 4.3 on...
Nice rig. X6, awesome proc for so cheap. You need to OC! "Old School" 775 @ 4.3GHz on water FTW: [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
There comes a point where you get really sick of swapping pads and rumbling around all stiff and noisy on the street to and from work. A second...
Hopefully I'll see you at RA. Best three things that you'll notice the most are (1)sways (and ditch the stock springs), (2)high temp brake fluid...
Who has time to read!!
It can't be read in the enclosure? Plug it in after booting of course, not before. Last resort you could try another enclosure but it sounds...
PS: Any data that is worth anything I keep on redundant drives (RAID 1 or RAID 5) on a single PC per location, AND keep a copy off site (SATA...
