    140mm belly fan on 120mm hole. Bad idea?

    I read the review after I got back and it said that the cooling wasn't all that it should be, so I was concerned with reduction of air flow.

    140mm belly fan on 120mm hole. Bad idea?

    I just went on a 45-mile round trip to get a new supply and failed to see that this model is built with a 140mm fan. Corsair 750w. The belly fan will be installed into a hole that is closer to 120mm. I really don't like shutting off air that the PSU needs for cooling. I shouldn't have...

    new build/no power - bad PSU?

    haven't done the buzzer. I checked the supply with a paper clip between the green and a black wire and still nothing. I will try this new one tomorrow.

    new build/no power - bad PSU?

    I disconnected everything. That includes all but the CPU fan and 2 sticks of memory. The HD LED, the power LED, power and power reset are all slipped into the ASUS "Q" connector which only allows for correct placement. I do get a light on the mobo which was covered by the second GPU before...

    new build/no power - bad PSU?

    It all started with my daughter wanting the Antec P182 SE (mirrored) case. Never again will I try to fit an SLI system into a mid-tower case. I have spent many hours with cable management and have everything set up right. I go to turn on the power and dead silence. The PSU doesn't even turn...

    Two SATA Drives - Master/Master

    I understand that there is no slave now. But, the boot drive is connected to the SATA2 port, so I don't get it as far as that is concerned. Also, the current boot drive is listed second in the BIOS.

    Two SATA Drives - Master/Master

    It's not the boot order that I'm particularly concerned about. It's that I have two physical master drives. Shouldn't one of the two SATA drives be a slave?

    MaXLine III vs. DiamondMax 10

    There are some differences. 1) NCQ of the Maxline is twice as fast as the Diamond Max10 2) Maxline has an MTBF of 1,000,000 hours 3) I bought 3 Diamond Max 10 and two were bad. I bought 1 Maxline III and no problem.

    Two SATA Drives - Master/Master

    I have two drives but the PC boots into the second SATA drive rather than the first. When I put a new drive in, I tried to install XP on it and use it for my boot drive. However, the second drive already had XP on it and the system assigned the drive letters switched around. The boot drive I...

    A question for all you SLI owners

    I have Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, 300 GB SATA, a Raptor, 2 eVGA 6800 Ultras, DVDRW, 52X CDROM, and I chose the PC Power & cooling 510 Express. I wish I would have held out a little longer as they are rolling out an 850 Watt sucker with 2 PCI-e power connectors.

    FAT32 to NFS w/o Losing Data?

    I just put together a system w/ an NFS formatted drive. My problem is that my son wants his old hard drive to still have access to his stuff. I don't know if his is really FAT32, but it's Windows Me. What can be done? How do you convert file formats w/o messing it up? :confused:

    SATA RAID Drivers, How and Where are they?

    I could really use your help. This system was a nightmare. A DOA HD and a DOA PSU really has stretched this out. Plus, I built each member of my family a PC before mine. I have installed RAID drivers before, but the drivers where on a provided floppy. I just got through building a new system...

    "Warning CPU has Changed" Message

    A newly built PC with a Floppy drive error (40) that is followed by a "Warning CPU has changed" error message appeared after the memory count and CPU post. The BIOS is unavailable beyond that. It offers "Press Delete", but no response when that is pressed. The motherboard is new, but the AMD...

    New Build: Failed Floppy Problem

    Pressing Delete doesn't get me into the BIOS. I've tried two different floppy cables now also. Keep in mind that I've tried booting up with no floppy cable installed in mobo, so there shouldn't be a failed floppy to start with should there?
