---CPU problem with DFI nF4 Ultra-D?---

I stand corrected. You were correct about the RAM. The CPU fan was fine. I swapped in some older sticks of DDR333 and I'm at 512mb total mem, instead of 1gig, but atleast the system works for now while I RMA or try to exchange that OCZ VX mem. It's weird how it was a RAM problem, yet the...

---CPU problem with DFI nF4 Ultra-D?---

well, I have tried just 1 stick in DIMM 1, which is the first yellow slot nearest the edge of the board, still no boot. Also, I've completely removed the ram and tried it, and the mainboard didn't even get to the LED dianostic part where it complains about not being able to see the RAM, it's...

---CPU problem with DFI nF4 Ultra-D?---

well as far as Ram, I have 2 sticks of the OCZ VX gold. The stuff that runs at 2-2-2-8 @ 3.3-3.5v. But that's not even running at that spec right now, because I can't get into the bios to even set that up yet. This same ram has been working fine for 3 weeks. I've tried just 1 stick in DIMM 1...

---CPU problem with DFI nF4 Ultra-D?---

Well, I let the CPU fall into the zif socket and it went into the socket all the way down, then folded the lever down, and it can only go in 1 way. And initially I was overclocking it to 2.8ghz (it's a 3800+ Venice core, lots of people have been OC'ing to 2.8 easily with air cooling on the new...

Because I don't have another 3 pin fan at home. The rest are the 4pin big molex connector types. And right now I'm at work, and will go buy another 3pin fan if people have heard of this being an issue. :)

---CPU problem with DFI nF4 Ultra-D?---

I have a new machine that I put together, and has been running fine for about 3 weeks. Then suddenly one day it just won't even post, and the LED indicators on the DFI Ultra-D board have the first 3 LED's lit up (3 from the left), so basically 1,2,3 are lit up, 4th is not. According to the...

Is a 450W Modstream Powerful enough for my upcoming system?

Yes, I have a Modstream 520w. And if you're using a midtower case, you're in for an annoying time trying to curve and move the power cables of the modstream to fit in your case with all of your drives and other cables in there. There isn't much flexibility in the power cables in a mid tower...

How long do monitors last?

All monitors last exactly 5½ years. They design them that way.

10K or 7200K?

Actually I've seen reviews of the 64bit XP. No performance difference at all with 32 bit apps, and 64bit apps, including the 64bit version of .....FarCry I think it was....might be wrong on the game, but it was a 64bit version of a game specifically designed to use with XP64.....but it actually...

why dont planets form other shapes?

because with physics, the sphere is the strongest shape with universally equal strength at every point. For instance, if it were a square, we'd see radically different forces at the corners than on the sides. A drop of water forms into a circle as it falls because that is the most...

My new computer will be betters (sp?) than

What I find funniest is you folks that are taking this guy seriously. Every part of his post was fake and just to make fun. Hardly worth a reply. It's funny though that people think he's serious.

You have KILLED PC Gaming

"The problem is not the hardware being better/more powerful, it's when will the main stream be more powerful. When will the main market segment be more powerful, because that is when the developers start paying attention to it. I'll say Mid2007" I understand what you're saying here. But still...
