I just wanted to come back and give an update. I ended up buying the following system: Here is my current thoughts: CPU: i7 4770 Heatsink: Thermalright HR-02 BW MB: Asus H87-PRO RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 1.35V GPU: MSI Geforce 760 2GB $260 Case: Fractal Design R4 PS: SeaSon...

Thanks guys for the help so far! I've updated the main post, but basically I have three questions still: 1) I'm debating between the following RAM. Neither is explicitly listed on the H87-PRO comparability list, but it seems like similar ram from the same brand is listed: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16G...

Cooler ?? Thermalright HR-02 Macho would be my pick, reviewed by SPCR, Thermalright HR-02 Macho Quiet/Fanless Cooler . Or if you can wait some, seems scythe us distribution might happen in september, Scythe Mugen 4 CPU Cooler: Scythe Strikes Back Yes, after looking around a bit more, I am leaning t...

Hi guys, It's time now for me to build a new primary system, and I was looking for some help speccing it out. My priorities are stability, low noise, speed, gaming. Primarily, this is used for image editing (I occasional do large Panos in PS that churns even on my current system for a while), web br...

I will be displaying over DVI. I know VGA, by spec, is limited to mod 8 horizontal lines.

The reason I was thinking about going with NVidia is because I've heard that it is hard to get ATI solutions to output at 1266x768. I haven't heard anything about HDTV decoding, I'll have to look into that.

Thanks for the heatsink rec.

no suggestons on a good HS for this system from anyone?


(*bump*)

Hey guys, I'm looking for some critiques as well as a few suggestions on my upcoming build for my media center pc. I've got a budget around $500-600, but a little bit of play. The system will primarily be used to output video at 1366 x 768 on my Olevia LT32HVM HDTV. Mostly, this will be dvds, avi's,...

Hi guys, I posted a while ago about asking for advice on a build and due to that, was going to research for a bit longer until I made my build - however, my hand is being forced and I must build the new system soon. So I would like to present the following and ask for last minute advice. The order w...

It's been discontinued? ~.~
And I beleive the Asus mobo (ASUS AN8?) that is passivly cooled had problems with the P150's power supply ><

Any other good passivly good mobo's out there?

I forget, is eVGA one of the companies that allows you to replace the heatsink w/o voiding the warrenty?

Hello, I will be building a new system soon and after doing some quick research, I have tentativly decided on these parts. I was wondering what your thoughts on it are: Priorities: - Speed/Smooth (I am a heavy multitasker and the occasional gamer) - Noise Level - Price (budget around US$1500) Case: ...

So I currently have a fortran FSP350 in my box (530W) but the rear fan is starting to click pretty bad. I've liked this power supply but the noise is unbearable - I've tried to see what caused it but nothing is stuck and none of my spare panaflow's will fit since the fans that came with the PS seem ...

I suspect you got your sensors crossed and that's actually RAM voltage.

No, that was actually my 3.3 I just checked with a voltmeter. I tweeked it so that my rails are now:

+5: 5.05 V
+12: 11.98V
+3.3: 3.23V

I've done that but dukla2000 has said that messing with the ps with zero load is bad. As for which pins to short to start the ps, its the (normally) green colored wire with any black (ground) wire. I think i'll mess around with it later this weekend after i've finsihed a coding project due on sunday...

Well, i've put it in and i'm currently sitting at these voltages (reported by mbm, havne't measured with my multimeter yet... I will when i get my vid card back next week)

3.3: 2.67v
5: 4.97-5v
12: 11.86v

The fortran has over voltage, over currant and short current protections. The voltage protection kicks in at 4.6v for 3.3, 6.5v for 5, 15.5v for 12.

Anyone know if too much voltage on a rail can damage something? (i'm not an EE/ECE, i hate this sort of thing :/)

I'm using a multimeter to mesure it. I was more nevous playing around with the pots with a load than without a load. I didn't know that would change it that significantly. :oops: So, i should hook my my entire system and then check the voltages and play with the pots when? when the system is live or...

I just got a FSP530 from newegg today. I'm plnanning on putting this into my system a bit later in the evening today, so i decided to just run it outsed my case to see how loud it was. I then went to test my rails. This is where i was kinda surprised. It seems that the only way I can get my 12v rail...
