Gigabyte 965P DS4 DOA ?

Perhaps pros around here can notice my problem easily, to me it is a mystery. Sorry if this has been covered many times already. It's not booting into bios. Power comes on, all fans start but monitor stays blank. Could this be a dead board, memory issue or maybe even a dead processor...

*** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

Thanks again cmdrdredd :) I might go for Gigabyte DS4. Though I have a week to change my mind - a week until other parts I ordered arrive. /end thread hijack

Looks like the X1950XTX is already for sale.

Sigh. So maybe I too should pull the trigger now.. or wait until something better occupies this same price range. But I don't feel like waiting anymore. Should be content though; During the 3 month wait I've had the monitor I'm buying has come down for 150+ euro and the X1900XT over 100.

Scary thought. Truly, 512mb XTs are no longer made? Then I should buy now, not later. Or what say you folks? EDIT-addition: X1950XT came to local online vendors today retailing(lowest) at 431 euro. And X1900XT, the lowest price, has gone up for 2 euro to 329. Damn, I don't like the...

What I'm interested in is how the new cards will effect pricing off the older models. So far I haven't seen much of a change. X1900XT 512MB is my ticket and has been going down in price for a long while, but I would still hope for a drop in price. Local lowest is now about 330 euro. I'd...

*** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

Thanks cmdrdredd! Good point there, I guess reading XtremeSystems forums only for a while one tends to lose perspective ;) My future overclocked figure with E6400 is, I hope, about 3Ghz, so "modest" with Core 2 Duo. Onboard sound is fine too, clear and as HD as it claims to be? Also you...

*** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

First off I haven't read all of the thread, it is damn long and I've lately been following XtremeSystems Forums more. But my emails are too well protected, I cannot register there. So here goes.. I'm considering P5B Deluxe but there's "some" issues. Here's some that have impact for me...

PSU recommendations?

Ah, much appriciated Operandi Sir. I didn't much think when reading that 25 amps figure and indeed it can't be for 1900XT, even I should know that much. Ahem. Thanks for the heads up and for the linky. Yes, I could do with far less than 500W, good :) Yes the Neo is very much okay but once...

PSU recommendations?

Thanks guys. I'm hesitating bit to jump for 430W PSU but then again usually tests show most monster PSU to be total overkill. Yet some recommed only very strong PSUs.. like the folks at http://www.dfi-street.com. I currently have the DFI Lanparty Ultra-D and am running it with Antec Neo 480W...

PSU recommendations?

Thanks Akshayt. Yes, I might go for Seasonic. Would that 500W be overkill? I'm wondering if I would be safe with less. Other recommendations, folks?

I would appriciate your opinions and recommendations on PSU for non-SLI and non-Crossfire +QUIET use. There'll be little gaming and more of Flash, Photoshopping, 3D work and movie watching done. I'll be running Conroe 6600 (if I'm lucky), mild overclocking perhaps, two Seagate hard drives...

LCD Buyer's Guide

True, it cannot beat PVA-variants contrast ratio, point taken. But I'm more interested in the natural colours and there IPS often seems to deliver. Response time it has is fine for me. I currently use older IPS(Lacie) and I have no trouble with the ghosting. And it definitely isn't faster...

LCD Buyer's Guide

Curious that I don't see Philips 230WP7NS in the Recommended-list. Xtknight, would you consider mentioned monitor to compete with Samsungs you listed for PHOTO EDITING (CONSUMER/PROSUMER)? If there's any faults in the monitor to be pointed out in this regard, I would like to know. Thank you...

Floppy drive issues with lanparty

My problem is similiar, sort of: My floppy drive has power, is regonized in bios and in Windows. Device manager says it is functioning properly. But when I insert a disk and try it, it just says "insert disk". Same with all floppys. I have tried the drive in another computer (another...

Will a Zalman 7000-CU fit on the DFI boards?

Khadgar You are welcome. Thanks. Waylay00 Well, this is my second build.. and the first for myself. You might do better than I did or at least do it faster. DFI is just as hard/easy as any other board to get up and running. I found building logical and Bios I didn't even have to touch...
