Now I have plugged the 12V line (doh!), but now nothing!!! The LED still lights up, but now the fans do not even start!!! What should I do? I can not change the PSU (my other system is a v. old one so I cant use that). The only thing that I can think of is that the 12V line has 6 connectors, but it ...

Hey, I built a new PC, and I'm having problems starting. The BIOS will not boot, and windows is not installed. I have the bare minimum inside - Motherboard - Asus M2N32 -SLi CPU - AMD Athlon X2 4600 Memory - Kinston ValueRAM 1Gb PSU - HiperX 580W Graphics Card - Radeon X1300 256Mb Basically, I plug ...

Basically, I have already aquired the PSU off a friend for a very low price(super silent), I adore the case(!) and have just bought these: Asus M2N32-SLI Del/WIFI-AP AM2 Sound 2 x GigaLan 1394 USB 2.0 WIFI-G ESATA ATX Sapphire Radeon X1300 256mb 128bit DDR2 PCI-E VGA/DVI/TV-out Kingston Value Ram 1G...

Hey, I am looking to buy a top of the range graphics card, and knowing that the new DX10 is coming out with Vista (or before), should I buy something like the Sapphire Radeon X1300: http://www.bonafidereviews.com/article.php?id=122 now (maybe SLI?) and buy the Ati R600 when it is released hopefully ...

I agree that maybe the stock coolers are OK for the moment. Would you recomend the Scythe Miné? Is it AM2 compatible? The Ninja seems to be the best cooler out at the moment, does the Miné lose much on the Ninja for cooling?

Thanks. 3 to 5 months is a very long time, and I was looking to get hold of an AM2 heatsink in the next few weeks. Are there any suggestions for a good AM2 CPU cooler? I have seen good reviews on the Thermaltake Big Typhoon, is it compatible with AM2?

Hi, is the Scythe Ninja compatible with the AM2 Socket motherboards? I have the ASUS M2N-SLi Deluxe and would like to purchase the Scythe Ninja for my AMD Athlon X2 4400+ AM2.

Thanks, all replies are greatly appreciated

Hey this is a link to the memory that is compatible with your motherboard. http://configurator.ocztechnology.com/result.asp?mn=AA8+3rd+Eye&modelid=46569 I dont think that the PC 6400 is compatible, but you may want to check up on that. The OCZ Gold series is really good memory, but also check out th...

Hey can you help me out with the RAM compatibility for the A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard. I have been told that with the Chip Density: 128x4 (High Density), it will not be compatible with my computer. If anyone has any links for cheap (preferably ebay) RAM, then it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, I recently posted asking about the new system that I am looking to build. Using your help and ideas on my components, I think I have finally come to what is the best build for my computing needs. I have a budget of up to £1300 pounds, and I am looking for a mid to high end gaming / VFX PC. It i...

I have an unlimited budget, any ideas on a complete setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I think thermaltake cases are very cool, but only in the UK (as of the expodential price in the USA). I am buying the Eclipse DV, as they seem to be the leading cases manufacturers when you are looking for the wow factor. I do not agree with their cooling systems. They have not made a good CPU coole...

I believe that the Hiper Type-R is deeply under rated on this site, and people here do not realise for 580W, the fan runs at 17db to 21db.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

i actually think it looks like an apartment block, you may find this is true

Hey,

Buy the Eclipse DV from Thermaltake - if you are in the Uk

For the PSU, the Hiper Type-R is really powerful and apart from what people on here say, it is ultra quiet. 17db to 21db!

I prefer a bucket of water (mainly a 1 liter full filled with évian)

I apologise

I dont think I ever mentioned using RAID 0, I was not going to use RAID at all. It would be a smaller boot drive, then a larger (massive) HD for *cough*legal*cough* movies, videos (you get the idea )

All replies are greatly appreciated!

yes......i agree?

neh i mean on options, everything full!!!!!

I have no budget, quote away!!

Can anyone run Battlefield 2 full specs? If so what are you running to accomplish this feat!!!! My sole dream in life is to kill people in high def. lol



Cheereo!

throw this in the ocean, because its a bomb!!!

witty

wow

For the budget, I am not looking to spend over £1350 ($2500). I do not need a monitor or peripherals so this is just for the base computer...

As for buying options in different countries, I can buy from Hong Kong, England and the USA very easily.

Thanks for the replies

This is my first computer I am building, and I have selected roughly what I would like to purchase, but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to make a computer that is not outdated quickly, and runs rendering programs and games easily: Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Amd Athlon 64 X2 2.2Gh...

Thanks, which AM2 chip would you reccomend for around the same price as the AMD +4400 X2? Thanks for the info on the 7950, I think I may end up getting it. Is the Raptor worth the steep increase in price for 2 x 250Gb? Btw the PSU is being sold to me really cheaply from a friend so thats the reason ...

I am in the process of buying a complete new system (building from scratch) and would like to purchase either the AMD Athlon 64 X2 +4400 or +4800. With the setup below, is their going to bbe a real difference in which processor I buy, or does the extra £100 not make a lot of difference? Asus A8N-SL...
