Good PSU

OCZ's are rebranded Topower units manufactured to OCZ specs which are quite high. So is Tagan a rebranded Topwer. The 600W OCZ has dual 12v rails, the smaller ~500W unit has a single 12v rail. The only reason you would need a single 12v rail is if you are running something like dual Xeons as...

Is it worth it to try to build your own pc?

I agree a pre-built PC with professional tech support is the way to go, but instead of Dell I am going to say go HP. For about the same amount of money you can get an HP Athlon64 versus a Dell CeleronII that will perform better. Since Dell started charging for shipping total price is about the...

Socket 939 Opteron QnA?

In general, no, though as good or better than x2's of the same week/stepping. It seems one core is sometimes weaker than the other and holds back the potential of the other core. Some people say you can "massage" weak cores with stress/burn-in at lower volts and improve their stability at...

Socket 939 Opteron QnA?

Yes. The only real difference between socket 939 Opty's and Athlons is that Opterons are of a higher quality silicon and as such will, in general, run at rated speed at lower voltages and cooler temps than Athlons though YMMV (Opteron specs call for 1.3-1.35v but mine defaults to 1.36v). Also...

Anybody know where to get a AN32-SLI Deluxe?

SVC is good for that as well. Not the selection of ZZF or Atacom but good for pick ups of heavy items like cases to avoid shipping, or when you need a heatsink or fan that day. San Jose address but about half a mile from the Milpitas city limits.

A8N32-SLI Deluxe BIOS 903

A8N32-SLI Deluxe BIOS 903

Hey thanks for that. That sounds good because I am looking at the BIOS chip on my board and it says N32P9 0903 B83E GS C03. I'm gonna assume the 0903 means 0903 :) Saves me a flash! Well on my "bench" next to me I have my CPU installed, a first Big Typhoon install under my belt (very easy...

A8N32 BIOS Mumbo Jumbo

Hey, you are building my computer! I have my 175 and A8N32, going to fire them up tonight with some OCZ plat rev2 but the Redlines are on the way. I'll be watching for your posts because all those BIOS settings are bewildering to me, the manual is technically accurate but completely useless...

A8N32-SLI Deluxe BIOS 903

Hey, that's interesting stuff. I have mine new and unopened, was going to fire it up tonight and assumed that it was going to be 508. Anyone tried 903 or 1009 for any period of time? Should I go with 805? Not interested in RAID right now, I'll settle for stable overclock and accurate...

Want your Big Typhoon to run 2C cooler in 1 minute?

Hey davexl! Thanks for the tip, got my holes plugged and will be installing my new Typhoon for the first time in about an hour. I have a Panaflo Medium speed (~80 CFM) I was going to use but I was afraid of hanging that much weight on the end of the Typhoon...it has to be almost twice the...

No doubt he did. But things peaked at $600 yesterday afternoon with this poor fool (or should I say rich? or formerly rich?), and now there are about 20 boards available for $335 via Buy It Now!, several boards in regular auctions are still in the 200's near closing.

Yeah, I had an In Stock Alert/Auto-Notify set up on that and got nothing, not even in my spam trap. Went to NewEgg and my account still shows I have a request in to be notified. Good to know that does not work.
