Good question... I'd like to know too. make sure you have some other devices to LOAD the power supply when you make the jump(er). The Blinking blue light tells me that the power supply is not "completely" dead... that you're getting power from somewhere... but do the paper clip test to make...

I don't deal with them anymore... been seeing this BS for too many years... and not just with computer/consumer electronics. This form of "marketing" is crap. Just sell your product at a lower cost to begin with and stick your rebate where the sun don't shine. When comparison shopping...

By pointing a fan directly on it and getting the system more stable, I'd say that would be a good presumption. Watercooling helps everything... :D Doesn't the IP35PRO have heatpipes for the North and south bridge chips??? Not sure watercooling the Northbridge by removing the...

Forgot the egg still carried S939s... http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2+50001028+40000343+1050706979+1051707439&Configurator=&Subcategory=343&description=&Ntk=&srchInDesc= those are the S939 Optys available at Newegg

How about a S939 based Opteron 180? $185 (plus S&H) @ http://www.neqx.com/product.asp?pf_id=CH1142 12x multiplier, 2.4G default speed Dual Core S939s are drying up.. start looking to forum "for sale" areas to find other processors

The arctic freezer 7 isn't stock (meaning its a decent performer). Sounds like you have buyer's remorse... maybe try a remount of the Tuniq, that may help a few C (maybe)

If you are using the standard Zalman 9500/9700 retension mechanism with bolts, you are probably already have the mounting plate (the nuts that you screwed into are part of the mounting plate.)

gently tilting a spinning hard drive shouldn't kill it... (I do it all the time), but a jar (shock) to the system may (while tilting the system). There is very little clearance between the read/write heads and the spinning platter(s) of a hard drive. If you are hearing a clicking noise every...

I've used my own bolts and threaded brass nuts for mounting air coolers as well as my storm waterblock to my s939 system (after removing the IHS). 2- 3" bolts and 2 brass nuts cost <$3.00 at local hardware store. Definitely use the s939 backing plate, as ETS stated, it takes stress off the...

easiest way to test power supply.... on the main 20 (or 24pin) power connector, jump the green wire to any black wire. Make sure you have a load device plugged into a molex (a fan will work). Not the best way to test, but since you don't have a meter... give this a try.

from static???? was it filled with foam peanuts (inside the case)??? Just ground yourself and touch the case to discharge any static before working on the system. I have seen some very cheap cases (flimsy construction) short out motherboards due to flexing.

I agree. Make sure you have (make) a good backup (soon)! hows the fluid level of that Aquagate? (leaks???)

Depends on the mobo. If its a complex board for inexperienced users to setup I would jump on it. When I saw the hoardes of people jumping onto the DFI bandwagon, and then started reading that they were having so many problems and returning them, I bought about 5 DFI (NF4-s939) open box...

While this is a true statement, I purchase (used to purchase) Abit motherboards because of their overclockability (started overclocking during Pentium Pro days, using Abit & ASUS EXCLUSIVELY). Abit motherboards are marketed towards the enthusiasts, not the off the shelf drones. I have...

fixed! I see both sides of the argument... but seems to me she's going after the company with the DEEPEST pockets. Being Stupid, bringing litigation to a big company because you're stoopid... the new American Dream. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
