The PC-building/hardware knowledge thread
GuitarFreak:
Yeah. Even my computer with the GTX280 and highly overclocked E8600 draws 350-400w at it's peak. SLI GTX280 draws about 550w or so.
MrBlu:
Right. I'ma post a link a bit later about that though.
Guys, I think I need a new wireless card. I'm getting only problems now. When I do manage to connect, it's only for a few minutes, then I can't browse the net, my ping goes up in the 400s, and then eventually I can't do anything, but it says I'm connected to the house Wi-Fi. Well, now it wasn't connecting, but I'm not all too sure what it's doing atm (I'm downstairs, PC is upstairs).
EDIT::
Nevermind.
So, I spoke to my mechanic, and he's gonna do the work on my case.
GuitarFreak, since you're the resident Liquid expert, what do you think about a Swiftech Apogee GT, Hydor Seltz L30 pump, 2 custom made 140mm radiators, and a 3.5" bay res? I'm iffy about the res, and I'm kinda more partial to making my own res, since those are kinda expensive for a tube with fittings. :|
GuitarFreak:
For a pump, I'd either get this http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_201&products_id=3112 or this http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59_201&products_id=2539. Are you only going to be cooling the CPU?
MrBlu:
Yeah, but the point is, I don't want to (can't) spend $45 or more on a pump.
Nodaisho:
So, I'm going to be buying a new mobo. My old one had 240 pin DDR2 RAM slots, a PCI express x16 graphics card slot, so I don't think I'll need to change too much, but I do have a question. I'm currently running a 2.8ghz P4, but I might have a 3.4, it might be fried. If I get a motherboard made for core 2s, will I be able to run my old P4 processor in it?
Also, what are some good brands for motherboards? I've been looking at ASUS so far.
