    Crossfire question

    If you have a spare PCi-e port than you can use a nVidia 8xxx series card or higher for physics. But the extra card has to be a nVidia card since ATI does not have PhysX support. Personally i just went out and bought a old used BFG PhysX PCI card for 15.00 on ebay, and it works perfect with my...

    Torn between 3 powersupplys.

    Oh wow sweet. So now it's up between the OCZ and one of Mikes crosair 750's... Cheaper is better since i have a tuition payment coming up soon and I really don't need to spend 130+ on a powersupply. Loudness is not much of a issue since my whole set-up is aircooled and i have a 1st gen 4850...

    Torn between 3 powersupplys.

    Okies. I was looking at those but i think i would go with the crossfire over it for the fact of free shipping. Although i have always liked the PC P&C ones That's very very true, What do you think of the OCZ ModXStream Pro series newegg is having a sale on them right now. I was thinking of...

    4Pin CPU plug causing powersupply to shut off.

    I did i have tried a AM2 3800+ X2, AM2+ 7850BE, and a AM2+ 9850BE. Also if anyone wants to have a look at some high res snaps of the board maybe you can see something that i missed. http://picasaweb.google.com/Toxirau/ComputerJunk# There's a link to some photo's.

    So what res does your monitor do?

    Got a pair of samsung 2343BWX's 2048x1152 each 4096*1152 desktop res. They are so pretty :3, though i would not have them if i would not have found such a great deal over at eCost. Got them for 125 each including shipping :D...

    4Pin CPU plug causing powersupply to shut off.

    Well no at 2.56 i had the voltage at 1.2 instead of the stock 1.3. I have overvolted but that was over a year ago when i first got the board and tired to get some nice numbers out of it. When i first got the board it would not support my phenom it would just shutoff on boot. I updated the BIOS...

    4Pin CPU plug causing powersupply to shut off.

    I tried my older Athlon X2 3800+ and it dose the same thing, I also tried my Phenom X4 9850 which is what i have had in the board for over a year with 0 issues since the board supports up to 140w CPU's. The oddest thing is that it dose it no matter whether or not there is a CPU in the board. The...
