Hi, Well I didn't get much time to play but the temps have dropped by about 7degrees C just by moving turning some fans around. Here is what I have now, I hope it makes sense. Side 1 --O-- | FD | ox2 I HD i | HD i | HD i | CD | |

[H] Reboot Problem

OK Guru's.here is the problem Got box running XP Pro; and it reboots several times a day on its own (just sitting there or not). I've replaced the motherboard; memory; sata cables; cpu fan. Formatted the drive and did clean install. What's my problem?? Could the CPU be bad??? Ha

sounds like heat, make sure cpu heat sink is making good contact. sounds like you changed everything but the power supply, could be that also. fp At 11:50 AM 4/30/2008, Gary Poked the stick with: >OK Guru's.here is the problem > >Got box running XP Pro; and it reboots several times a day

Disable the auto reboot on BSOD thing and while your at it I'd check your PSU for bad caps. This is the kind of trouble I had when that Antec PSU failed. Gary wrote: > OK Guru's.here is the problem > > Got box running XP Pro; and it reboots several times a day on its own (just > sitting

[H] Add to your list of vendors to avoid

Sapphire Technologies has just made my shit list for the issues I am having the HD3870X2 & broken fan support. Fraking thing idles @60C due to the fan not ramping up as it gets hot due to some glitch in the BIOS or something. They expect me to deal with Newegg, who offer no refunds & now I know

Re: [H] Add to your list of vendors to avoid

Yeah, Sapphire's support is awful. I had a problem with a 1950 Pro, they too told me to take it up with Newegg. My brother had a 1900 XT die on him, past the Newegg support period...he sent it in, and they informed him that they couldn't replace it with a 1900 XT because it was OOS, and his only o

Re: [H] Running 3 monitors in Windows XP Pro

Don't know. But since I have not actually tried it, didn't want to give a definite "NO!" to the question of whether you could hook 3 monitors to a single card. The old Matrox Parhelia will handle two monitors and a TV, but not a real high resolutions

Re: [H] Water-cooling

Looks good. 7 Degrees C is something that helps out. Make it so that the power supply blows air out to the rear of the case. Also try to make it so there is no or hardly any interruption in the air flow from the front of the case thru the power supply. My next case is going to be either TJ09 or
