Your new PC life. Gaming with resource monitor open.
Hey, as long as it works, it beats the piss out of buying a new mobo. Somehow, I really doubt even EVGA's awesome asses would be particularly eager to let me RMA a mobo that got blown the fuck up, although I'd try it if I had to. They're the only company that would be worth the phone call to find out, for sure. |

| The damage is literally unknown and unknowable. If you had the diagnostic tools for every piece of equipment in that computer I guess you could see exactly how extensive the damage was. But there is no way to blackbox test for every problem. |

Yeah, I know 
I'm just glad it still works at all. Even if I'm stuck with a workaround to keep it running for now, fuck it. If it gets worse, I'll try downclocks.
I just need it to last until spring, since I'm actually planning to finally start taking some college classes, and the new version of the GI Bill will help our income rather substantially, and I should be able to build something new finally. |

Computer build resource thread literally exists for that... make sure you read the OP.
Oh, and there's also dedicated threads for keyboards and audio stuff.Last edit: 2012-07-18 06:57:13 |

okay so I haven't played SC2 in a couple months, now that I've gone back Sc2 is really choppy (or stuttering) in game. I checked my FPS and in game its going over 100-110, but I remember when I use to play it was only at 60-70, so I'm fairly sure its my FPS causing the problem.
I have nvidia GTX 460. |

Didn't really know where to post this because it's not a Strategy-based question but here's my question:
How do I change my Stream title on Xsplit/Twitch? |

Can someone check if i correctly plugged the cables from PSU?

Left floppy unplugged , also do CPU pins go near the Sabertooth logo?

Yep that CPU 4+4 pin plug needs to be plugged into the 2x4 pin socket next to the Savertooth logo.
Do you have the computer yet? Because you'll find out that the SATA power cable will not fit into that port. Because that port is for SATA DATA cables and doesn't power a single thing. |

The 2x4 CPU powercable goes in the connector on the bottom-left, near the logo.
Your schematic shows that you plugged the SATA powercable(s) into the SATA data-port on the motherboard. First of all: Didn't know that that would fit. Secondly, these cables should be connected to harddisks / DVD drives, not the motherboard. You should have cables with a similarly shaped connector, but less wide, to connect the motherboard to the harddisk/DVD drive. The "Peripheral 4 Pin" cable in the picture is used instead of the aforementioned SATA powercable for older drives. Which one you need should be obvious from inspecting the drive. Anything you buy new these days will use SATA. Finally, the PCI-e powercable goes into the videocard. Whether you need the 6 or 6+2 and whether you need 1 or 2 of them depends on the specific model of videocard you have (high end models require more power).
In general: Almost every cable fits in only a single type of connector and most of the time, the shapes also force the correct orientation. It's hard to go wrong. The most common problem is forgetting to connect something, rather than connecting something in the wrong way. |

Nop, only got the PSU atm, awaiting for other parts to arrive

For our EE/PSU expert type guys, (regulars please, if I get speculation I at least want it to be from people I trust), this sounds too good to be true. Thoughts?

Simple version, new EVGA PSU, theoretically with relevant info tracking via USB, but I'm kinda leery about this. |

It costs a lot of money, and the chassis is ginormous, so I don't see why not.
There have been power supplies with self monitoring in the past, like the Thortech Thunderbolt Plus:
http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=205
Corsair's announced AX1200i has something like that, and more:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5919/corsairs-ax1200i-dsp-controlled-psu
A device with the necessary bandwidth to measure ripple is expensive, so they're not doing that. Just monitoring DC voltage and current isn't hard, particularly at a coarse level good enough for consumers. You know how cheap multimeters can be, right? Just slap some kind of USB controller, microcontroller, and some programming to that, and stick it all inside that chassis. |

Fair enough. I might consider it for my next build, when I go completely apeshit. Just because I love EVGA. Obviously it will depend on independent reviews though.
Not that I expect to need it, but we know my weakness for gimmicks, and EVGA. |

I did say for when I go completely apeshit on my next build. My definition of apeshit... well, yeah. |

Well. Lemme think.
Quad 690's (8 cores total in octo SLI) probably needs something like that. I dont think thats even supported though. If I was octo core mining I could see it. Hopefully its 80 plus platinum.
I think my definition of ape shit might be more ape like.Last edit: 2012-07-19 05:49:41 |
