The ASUS P45 Owner's Club

[alexp999]

p55 and p57 should be due at the end of the year, beginning of next, i5 has been delayed due to the eco crisis causing stock piles of LGA775 stuff

And that a real shame about pics being deleted

And kyle dont tempt me or I'll end up buying the HX1000w

 

[MoonPig]

stock piles of LGA775 you say? surely that'll mean lower prices?

Tempting isnt it DOOO ITTTTT

 

[alexp999]

No, thats the point, no dropping of prices, just delaying of new stuff

And I've just read this about the HX1000w:

"Combined 80A of power on +12V"

I think I need to go change

 

[MoonPig]

buy it! buy it!

Then i can get your TX650w

I highly doubt it, this is intel we are talking about.

Dayummmmm thats a powerful rail . . .

 

[alexp999]

Its a true dual rail PSU with Solid Caps, guaranteed to output 1000w continuous @50*C

Each 12v rail is capped at 500W!

Shame about the price tho

I'd rather buy another GTX 260.

And anyway you evil people, I'm supposed to be supressing my spending demon :shadedshu

 

[kyle2020]

Buying another GTX = new motherboard too remember

Just go for the HX, it'll be cheaper!

On a more serious note, you dont need such a beefy power supply, id wait until you go for a rig that really needs such a high ammount of power.

 

[alexp999]

I could easily run two of my systems of a HX1000w, I dont need it tho, lol.

Maybe if I had the money for 2 x GTX 295, but even then I wouldnt.

Money needs to go into car, damn insurers wanting more than the car is worth per annum.

Of course upgrade first. What I want to do is:

P57
i5
DX 11 - GT300/HD58xx

I'm attempting to persuade another person to get a Corsair PSU, why would someone try and get an ultra when you can get a corsair for less with higher amps and more connectors?
I think we need a corsair club Alex!

 

[alexp999]

You just cant convince people how good Corsair are sometimes.

Corsair club, now thats an idea!

Not quite the same tho, what would you talk about,


...so, yeah, My computer booted up today, as usual, nice and quiet like.

(for some reason I can hear stewies voice saying that )

 

[MoonPig]

haha, i say go for

 

[crazy pyro]

Just random conversations about Corsair hardware.
Side note: They're F*ckin' heavy as well.

 

[kyle2020]

haha, that made me laugh

I edited my post by the way haha.

A corsair club would be utterly useless lol.

 

[alexp999]

Thing is with a club like this you can discuss tweaking things, OCing etc, Corsair doesnt really do anything you can tweak, other than maybe RAM, plus the mobo being the centre of the system means we can digress and still technically be on topic

 

[crazy pyro]

Sooooo, you could discuss how you can put their memory sticks through the washing machine and random crap like that, hell this clubhouse is pretty much just a second UK TPU clubhouse.

 

[alexp999]

Yeah, it seems a lot of UK folk like the Asus P45s, lol.

But this club is way better, 3 times as many posts better!

Plus we are still talking about TPu related stuff, rather than random Uk crap.

 

[crazy pyro]

That's because they're the cheapest P45s to be had (well, mine was the cheapest on Ebuyer back in december). I really need to get a cooler and start OCing my quad, waiting on my dad giving me £100 since he said he'd give me a hundred quid after I broke my laptop (I was all for ditching it or just using a CRT monitor at my gran's).
He also owes me pocket money since september...

 

[alexp999]

You mean you has a Q6600 G0, sitting in a P5Q board and shes running at stock!!!

 

[crazy pyro]

Yes, my dad said I wasn't allowed to overclock, only AFTER I'd ordered the quad, actually when I had the box in my hands...
I got sick of living in the BIOS last month since my HDD died on me and I couldn't figure out WTF was going on.
I've hardly used my system specs rig, not at home enough and then my teachers demand work off me all the time. Looks like I'll be using it even less since I've not got a social life.
The ban on OCing got broken first day I had the rig assembled though since OCing graphics cards is idiot proof (although apparently my usage of that saying is inappropriate after I discovered my aunt can't use firefox for the life of her, seriously that is idiot proof).

 

[alexp999]

Banning OCing, would be like telling me I'm not allowed to breath.

Why did he get to say that you cant overclock your rig?

 

[crazy pyro]

He thought I'd break it. He forced me to take all the parts down to the local PC shop and get them to build it as well, I've taken everything out of the mobo at least once except for the CPU, I've also not touched the heatsink except for moving the wires out of the fan's way. I swear they put the hard drive in the most awkward place possible by which I mean you had to take the graphics card out to get the HDD out.

 

[alexp999]

WTH?

Did he pay for it then?

Even if my dad had paid for it ( yeah right!), he would have told me I can do what I like with it, if I break it its my fault, I would have to replace it.

 

[crazy pyro]

No, he didn't. It's like his being incredibly pissed off at the thought of me joining the police service, he knows it's going to happen at some point whether he likes it or not, he just threatens to not pay my train fares or something (I don't fancy spending more than 40 quid a month getting to school). He went nuts when I asked for a couple of fans I knew he'd been hoarding and started saying that I'd screwed up the choice of components, only thing I did wrong was the maxtor drive.
Looks like my dad will in fact be paying for my CPU cooler, he'll go nuts if I go ahead and buy one online since he'll have to go and pick it up lol.

 

[alexp999]

So, you pay for components and then he tells you what you can and cant do.

No offence to your Dad but I would have told him where to go
