Good morning bump :) *EDIT* Board/memory pending. Didnt want to part it out but got a great offer. WIll lock thread as soon as the deal is sealed (should be a couple hours)

Heat http://www.heatware.com/eval.php?id=34876 Contact email davebirt @ gmail .com PM me here or Email me. The Gmail goes straight to my phone so I will see it pretty quickly. I went through another big upgrade cycle so I have my old setup here for sale. Here is the list...

I am making the jump to an SSD, and trying to determine what size I should get. Basically here is what will be on it Win7 64bit WoW Steam --TF2 --CS:S maybe one other game (not sure what yet, probably some military fps type though) Office (the complete suite) Photoshop...

Well the PSU is now powering the secondary PC (the one I am on right now) just fine. I know that isnt a huge load test, but its powering a C2D E7400, my wireless NIC and 2-3 fans just fine. So I can eliminate the PSU from what is preventing the other MOBO from even posting. Not a 100% way...

Im gonna swap it into my secondary PC tonight and see what happens. That will tell me if the PSU is at least functional enough to run a computer.

That is exactly the board I have, and sounds like the exact same problem. I am just going to order either a gigabyte or an ASUS.

It wasnt that it "stopped" like as in was running then died. I shut it down, made a couple changes in the UEFI and it wouldnt come back up. If its a bad PSU a new mobo wont boot either right? I guess Ill stop on the way home today and pick up a PSU and see if it boots. Actually...

Ok let me clarify a couple things, to get a clearer picture out there :) 1. I tried doing nothing but increasing the multiplier to 40. It BSOD'd during the process of loading, before it even got to the desktop. 2. I upped the voltage on the memory to 1.65 because that is what the...

Well tomorrow morning I am gonna head to Frys and pick up a new mobo and come back home to see if that fixes it. Unfortunately although this mobo is brand new, I have had it longer than the 15 day return period so I cant even exchange it. So Ill RMA it then put it up for sale I guess. The...

yeah it powers up just fine. I have one of those jumper connectors, I plugged it in with the PSU hooked to nothing else and it turns on and stays on just fine.

Looks like probably the mobo is shot. :( http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1037083785&posted=1#post1037083785 I welcome any input over on that thread.

Any guesses what the hell happened? Would anything that I did in the bios (well, uefi) as far as cpu PLL voltage or DRAM voltage POSSIBLY been able to damage it? I cant see how, but maybe?

Yeah no beeps or anything. Im gonna try unplugging everything and taking the battery out overnight. It really seems like the CMOS just wont reset for some reason.

Well nothing with no CPU. The lights come on for a sec the fan I plugged into the cpu fan header spins up, then everything goes off, and it cycles just like it has been. Put the CPU back in, tried 2 other known good sticks of memory and a different video card, and the stock intell hsf (was...

sorry if I am coming off as super pissed. I sort of am, more just incredibly frustrated and feeling pretty deflated right now. Took a deep breath, popped open a beer and am going to see if the board will post with no CPU...

nope no change. its dead :( Nothing I do makes it even post. How do I diag if its the mobo or the CPU? Will the board post with no CPU in it? Guess I may as well try at this point. Never going to oc again. My last 3 mobo/cpu combos would not overclock even 1mhz and be...

Any idea how to determine if its a blown up CPU or mobo? I really dont have $400 to go buy both.

well the mobo and psu are out of the case now sitting on the box on my desk. I have the thing unplugged, battery out, and cmos jumper jumped to clear, all cables unplugged, vid cad out, no ram. Gonna hold the power button on the mobo down for 30 sec, then put it all back together and see...

disconnected the ps from the mobo (both the main and 8 pin) Removed cmos battery switched cmos jumper let it sit for like 2 min. No change :( I now have the video card out as well, to see if the board will at least start up and stay on for more than 3-4 sec and it isnt.

I have this in my build thread, but I am desperate and need help fast :( So it wouldnt overclock, not even 1mhz. Tried the MSI OC Genie, nope. BSOD before it even gets to loading windows. Get it back to defaults Boots ok Reboot, go into bios (uefi) Set mem to 1.63v and 1600 (it was...

dfgskjuhkfsdhkijusdfkjhsdfkhjnsgdf I think it blew up or something. THIS IS WHY I DO NOT COUNT OVERCLOCKING INTO THE PLAN. So it wouldnt overclock, not even 1mhz. Tried the MSI OC Genie, nope. BSOD before it even gets to loading windows. Get it back to defaults Boots ok...

Well here I sit on a fresh Windows 7 install, busy downloading updates, installing Drivers etc. Picked up the 2500K a few hours ago, everything is up and running smoothly (so far anyway, not everything is installed yet and my 2 internal storage drives aren't plugged into the mobo yet) I think...

You are an evil, evil person. *heads to newegg to look at SSDs....*

how did I miss that?

The brackets came in this morning :) So far here is the gear I have gotten together... MSI HD6970 MSI P67A-GD65 16GB Patriot DDR3-1600 (4X4gb sticks, I got 2 8gb kits) The brackets for the V8 cooler Waiting on my next paycheck (I work at a custom car shop, I have a long term...

Bump because its been a while. Maybe some people have them and will chime in now... My feedback... I dont use them 100% of the time, but I love them when I do. The sound is VERY good and far improved over onboard, and I think is even a little better than my USB X-fi w/sennheisers...

Not to feed the trolls or jump a bandwagon, but yes, the fact that it is on sale like this, this soon, is not typically a good sign. It could mean nothing in this case, but statistcally speaking, a game going on sale less than 30 days after its release, usually means the game is in trouble...

NICE!!! Ill order those brackets tonight! Thanks so much, that saves me a big hunk of change.

Here it is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186043&cm_re=accelero_xtreme-_-35-186-043-_-Product It says you should get the vr001 ram hs kit, but I cant find that. When I search that part number on the egg some ugly emo kiddy hat comes up.

I looked at newegg and didnt see where it specifically said it fits the 6970. I could just be blind lol.

My comp would be pretty quiet if it wasnt for the INSANELY (by my standards) fan that comes stock on my MSI 6970 (the normal one not the big alum one) What is out there for quieter HSF units that work on this card? And where can I find them?

I have my old water cooling setup collecting dust, wanna trade for that H50? j/k I know that sort of thing has to go in the FS forum, and I dont even know if I want to get rid of it. FYI I dont know what they are charging now, but I put together a dual 120 setup with 4 yate loon fans...

Are there going to be faster 1155 chips? I ask because I figure, if I can just upgrade the CPU in a year or so, in the same socket, then there isnt much reason to spend the extra. But if the 2600k is going to be the fastest or almost fastest in that socket, I may as well just get it, since...

Man I had my mind all made up till looking at the charts in that Anandtech link :( Now I am having a way harder time justifying the 2600k... Because since I lost the extra parts for my CPU cooler (CM V8) I wont be able to mount it on the new board, I am eyeing the H50 or maybe the H70. The...

yeah here is how I am looking at it The difference is @$100 Its not a deal breaker amount, since I have a machine that is relatively fast now, the difference will be doing it later this week/early next week, or doing it in another week or two. Its not like I need the power to be able to...

Yeah I will buy the exact same ram I have. Just another matched pair of it.

That is sort of what I am thinking. Yeah its more money, but it isnt that much drama to come up with, and the faster I get now, the longer it will be till I have to do it again. Then again, I just realized that I dont have the extra brackets for my HSF, so I have to buy a new HSF, and I am...

I am upgrading from an E8500 which I am not overclocking (for some reason this rig just decided it didnt want to OC without constant BSODs, but its rock solid at the stock speeds) I am running an HD6970 and the MOBO is an MSI P67A-GD65 Here is the thing, I know that the K series OCs...

Yeah I want to go to 8gb ram because like the guy above me said, I open the task manager and I see that I am using up HUGE amounts of memory even while just playing WoW. Hell wow alone is taking up over a gig of ram according to task manager (I assume this is because I run about 10 addons)...

I almost got banned once for calling this place tardocp :p
