anyone able to help?

Spec: Intel E5200 Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L Samsung 500GB HD ATI radeon 3650 passive NSK1380 case Temps at the moment are as follows: Coretemp: 39 degrees idle Speedfan: temp1: 55 temp2: -2 (?) temp3: 29 HD: 31 Are these temps ok? My setup is still a little too loud for my liking. I assume it's the stock...

not a problem, it's not your fault I assume you don't have to use the PCI slot cooler that some reviews seem to mention?

Thanks for the help.

bugger, ordered it now. The mobo has 2 pci slots so hopefully the other one should be useable

thanks, I wasn't sure as it seems to have a huge heatsink attached and I need to use the other pci slot for a wireless card.

sorry to dig up an old thread but I was wondering if you could answer my query here as i'm planning on building a pc around the nsk 1380 but just need to know if I can use the asus 3650 silent edition in it.

thanks

BTW- will adding the S2 cooler void the warranty of the graphics card?

What do people make of the ASUS EAH3650 SILENT MAGIC 512MB graphics card. It says 0db but i'm not sure if it would fit in my case/motherboard (Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L or Asus P5KPL-AM)

Thanks for the info guys, is it worth spending the extra few quid to get DDR3 memory on the gfx card or will it not make much difference?

Vicotnik: I'm planning on building a pc using the NSK1380, just wondering if you could advise me on whether or not the sapphire HD 3650 graphics card will fit in the case without any problems:

Cheap & quiet graphics card to fit the NSK1380?

Thanks

Could someone recommend a half-decent graphics card (for light gaming) which costs under £50 and fit's the Antec NSK1380. I've come up with the following so far: 1) Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 512MB DDR2 - £43 2) Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 512MB DDR3 - £50 3) Sapphire Radeon HD2600 XT 256MB DDR2 - £50 ...

hmm, might just be easier to get a svideo-->SCART cable actually, they only seem to be a few quid :) Cant' seem to find a S775 mobo with svideo output on the back so i'm looking at getting a cheap motherboard, such as the ASUS P5N-MX , MSI P6NGM-L or the XFX nForce 630i and sticking a cheapo graphic...

At the moment I have the monitor connected to the pc with a VGA connector and then the TV is connected to the monitor with a scart-->component+audio jack cable, like this one

btw- is this the adaptor you refer to? I assume that the svideo would just provide the video signal and 3.mm audio lead would go into the sound card as i'm currently doing?

thanks, in that case, is there a motherboard with built in svideo, how about the new gf9300 motherboards that are starting to appear?

I'm looking for a socket 775 matx motherboard with a composite (I think) connector on the back to hook it up to my TV. Currently, i've got a wire (seems to be like ebay item # 330274375902) going from my graphics card to my TV scart socket, so I'm after a motherboard with integrated graphics with th...

Anyone know if any of these mobo's will have s-video out connectors on the back?

Anyone know if the actual motherboards will be coming out on oct 15th or just the chipset, with the motherboards to follow at a later date?

Can't seem to find much at retailers about it, except this which says to expect stock on the 3rd of november

no worries andy, would much rather know now rather than after purchasing it :) Although, i've just had a look at the user manual and it says you only need about 2.5cm unrestricted above the vent, I should have about 10cm so I would imagine this will be ok? Still leaves a couple of issues though, one...

Thanks for the advice. Thought I had it nearly sorted lol, back to square one then :) Could you recommend a case to fit my requirements please, I was looking at the shuttle cases before but someone advised me against them as well. And, would any gigabyte/MSI mobo under £50 be fit for the job? Same ...

I can't find any benchmarks comparing the E5200 to the 4850e, do you know which one is supposed to be better? RE: The motherboard, I would probably get a mid-range graphics card in a few months so really the IGP would be just something to get by on for a couple of months, would you say the Asus P5X-...

What about an intel alternative? Was really looking to build an intel system just for a change this time round as i've always gone for an AMD in the past :) Also, how does the "Seagate 500GB, 32MB Cache" compare to the samsung, it's only £2 more and it has double the cache, not sure what it's like ...

Thanks, I may go for the Asus P5N-MX as it supports DDII 800 and has an ATA connector which will be useful when transferring stuff across as my current HD is ATA. I assume it would be ok to upgrade it with a half decent graphics card at a later date? Are there any other boards you would recommend fo...

Could you recommend me a decent matx mobo for around £40-50 please, preferably from ebuyer.co.uk

BTW - is there likely to be cpu/gfx card price cuts in the next 3-4 weeks?

if you want to go budget, then I am affraid Intel is bit... expensive. You would do better with AMD X2 4850e and some AMD 780G Chipset or nVidia 8200 chipset. I've tried finding some benchmarks to find out how much difference there is between the 2 processors but haven't had much luck. The price di...

This is what I have at the moment: Antec NSK1380 (£75) - Needs to be a cube case/less than 30cm height Core 2 duo E5200 (£55) Crucial/Corsair 2GB RAM (£25) DVD drive (£15) Seagate 500GB 32MB Cache - (£45) Graphics card & mobo - Don't want to spend any more than £40-50 each What do people think...
