I think what he was asking about is the 12V ratings. Antec has a good page on their website for figuring how much of a power supply you need. Antec Power Supply recomendations. Plug you specs into that and see what it says.
When I plug your settings into their calculator it says 481W...
LOL. I'm a chiropractor. And by the way, I hate all the regulatory crap as well.
And trying to get back on topic. If you're looking to build a system that is going to last a couple years, then buying top end components is a good idea. OC'ing tends to be a little tough on CPU's, ram, Mobo's...
Soubriquet,
Buy what you want. What's obscene is when my 3 year old son was born it cost us $30K. I don't buy health insurance because as a self employed person it's cheaper in the long run to not have it. The $1000/month premium (another obscenity) over 36 months, I am ahead.
Have no issues...
Well, of course, the water was there all along. As the Earth grew, the water settled down. That's why all the ancient fish fossils are on land masses. Didn't you listen? :roll:
These ECS boards at Fry's are nearly free, so what's the point of bashing them? When a chip costs $220 at the Egg and at Fry's you get the same chip and a ECS board, you can't beat that.
A few years ago I picked up an ECS board combo with an 805 Pentium D. It was only $120 and this is when...
I would look up the specs on the tv tuner and the video card you are running and see what they recommend. I read in a forum somewhere that the x800 AIW needed at least 20 A. I don't like to run anything less than 24A. I just bought a Coolermaster 600 extreme for my matx case that has 18A x2 12v...
I would try another power supply. I used to have a similar issue with my computer. I had an AIW x800 and when I would leave town for the weekend with a tv show scheduled to record my computer would be restarted and my show was not recorded when I got home. Turned out to be a power supply...
The other option you have is with one larger drive you can make multiple partitions. I like to do that. I reload my OS frequently and having secondary partions give me a place to store all my files when I format c: drive. I usually move the my document folder's target location to the secondary...
Have you noticed any spikes in the 3.3v or 5v on PC Probe? I didn't see the specs on your psu. Before the prices of the x2's came down nearly two years ago I bought a 805 Pentium D to play with dual core. I over clocked it from 2.66 to 3.4 without a voltage increase. I still run the chip on that...
The 8800 GTS's are in the $300 range. I guess that's what I would spend for 2 1950 Pros for x-fire. Something to think about. I need a video card for my tv box since the onboard video doesn't have S-Video. So it's a sub $100 card for the tv computer, which makes me feel nauseous, upgrade my...
I just built a machine for my tv and it needs a video card. I have been waiting for this whole X2000 thing to sort out but the X2900 doesn't seem like the way to go, yet. I have an x1900xt 512 in my current desktop and am thinking about putting it into my tv computer. What would be the better...
Are the drives ide or sata? If the drives are ide make sure the jumper settings are correct. Make sure the master drive is not set for master w/slave or cable select. If that doesn't work try a program called BartPE. Make a bootable cd with BartPE and see if you can access Windows with that.
