Question PC Won't Boot with RAM at Default Voltage

I have an 5600X/X370 system with 2x16GB Crucial PC-3200 CL16 1.35V RAM, and after it has not powered on for a few weeks it won't boot. After a ton of troubleshooting I found that if the CMOS is cleared (the CMOS battery voltage was low and replaced) and the RAM resets to 1.2V at PC-2400, the...

The AnandTech Introduction Thread: Get To Know Your Peers

One of the first memory after joining Anandtech was the Newegg/Radeon LE saga. In the Hot Deals forum, someone posted this little known company called Newegg was selling a 32MB DDR Radeon for an insanely low price and free FedEx 2-day shipping. Back in those days, getting computer parts shipped...

Help my Iwill KK266 has a problem after new BIOS flash...........

I was about to post the same issue, and found the same issue in this old post. I just dusted off my old box with an Iwill KK266 (VIA KT133A chipset) and a XP1600 Palomino as a backup browsing box, and it has the same problem. It won't boot unless I press the reset button after power. Tried...

[VR] NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 Specifications Revealed

I think this has been the norm. If GTX 460 had not rang into yield issues, a 384 SP 800Mhz version would have traded blows with the Radeon 5870. The die size of AMD's high end and Nvidia's midrange are around the same ~350mm ballpark. Even the 6970 die is about 390mm and the slightly cripped...

BB Playbook Stuck on ID Agreement

I bought the playbook this morning and I cannot get past the ID agreement page. It gets the same error "Unable to display the BlackBerry ID agreement" error even though it connected to my router fine. There was a recall for this issue earlier but that was back in May. Anyone else have this...

GTX460 SE slide: trading speed for memory bandwidth

You can now buy it on newegg, although I am not sure who would buy it at this price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130591 I think what will happen is all of the good chips will become GTX 560 at $250, and all of the problematic ones will become GTX 460SE at $200. This way...

The xbit article card has both connectors at top, so I was not sure.

Which Power Connector Draws More Power on GTX 460?

It is this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130562 The PCB is black so it is hard to trace. I see the three switching phases but cannot easily tell which connector powers which.

Which Power Connector Draws More Power on GTX 460?

Yeah I read that too, but the card they reviewed has the connectors both on the top, rather than on the back of the card. I have a reference card with both connectors on the back, so I was not sure which is the heavier loaded one.

Which Power Connector Draws More Power on GTX 460?

This is on a reference EVGA GTX 460 non-OC 768MB. I have only 1 PCI-E 6pin connector, so for the other one I have to use the molex to PCI-E adapter. From this article, it looks like the card draws more power from one of the plugs than the other. Naturally, I would like to put the real PCI-E...

GTX580 reviews thread

What really surprises me is that the GF110 is A1 revision. Usually graphics cards get released at A2 revision (or A3 in the case of the problematic GF100). It looks like they got it right ahead of time, which explains the earlier than expected launch.

LOL @ Bestbuy

I got my 8800GT from Best Buy 3 years ago cheaper than newegg. Newegg and most online retailer were charging $300+ while BB had it for the MSRP of $250, and I was able to use their 10% off coupon. I know it is an extreme case, but you can find stuff cheaper in retail.

NewEgg.. 10% off Video Cards

Couldn't pass up the GTX 460 768MB for $133 AR. This card will be replaced with a 288 shader/1GB version soon, which may be why it is so heavily discounted. Thanks OP.
