You have said some things that I have never heard before and find it hard to believe.
USB always supplies 5V. The power supply has a max current of 2A, but from my measurements it is less than that. I have not seen it vary whatsoever.
Where did you see that the driver controls the power? I...
I have a few devices that I want to charge every night. I don't like using a lot of wall warts plugged into a power strip. I recently had the epiphany that I could use a powered USB hub as a 'usb power strip'. I just have one wall wart and I can charge multiple devices at once without clogging...
I went ahead and bought the memory. Here are screenshots of the different combinations. So to answer my main question...does it still get triple channel (which no one seemed to know or never bothered to answer)? Yes it still gets triple channel. And speed doesn't really matter in my specific...
I had a question about mixing RAM.
I have triple channel 3GB triple channel ram currently installed. I would like to upgrade.
Currently have: 3GB (3 x 1GB)|DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500)|7 Latency
Want to upgrade with: 6GB (3x2GB)|DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800)| 9 Latency
To bring me up to 9GB
What should I...
Hi,
I was wondering if there was a tool out there to run analyses on various components of a computer that does not require an install.
Basically I am looking for a toned down version of Sandra SI or Futurmark.
I am possibly in the market for a new laptop/netbook. Sometimes it's nice to...
Not completely correct.
3pin fan connector pins: red is positive terminal, black is negative terminal, and yellow is the sensor.
4pin Molex connector (from the PSU): red is 12v, yellow is 5v, and black is ground (or 0v).
So for a 12v fan I have the red fan wire in the yellow hole and black...
So I just recently bought a fan for my case. It was really loud. So I have been doing research to reduce the speed of the fan so it's not so loud.
1.
If the fan is connected to the motherboard is there a way to control the RPM of the fan by use of software? I am talking about the standard...
Alright, guys. I got a lot of my questions answered. Actually probably all. And I have enough info to get good start on this and definitely have less anxiety about overclocking.
If I have anymore questions I'm sure I will be back!
Thanks for all your help. Especially Pinscher and NosBoost...
I would think that if you cause the cpu to fail in the middle of a stress test it would damage the cpu. Is this just part of the oc'ing process?
You mentioned software in the last post. What sort of software should I be getting? Prime95 is a stress test, should I be using other stress tests...
alright, cool.
but like i said before its that whole money thing....I may not have enough to spend on a $75 heatsink. So I may wait a couple of months before buying a heatsink.
onto some other questions:
I guess that the thermal paste you suggested is better than the stuff that comes with...
I don't know much about thermodynamics.
But when I compare Dynatron G129 1U Server Passive CPU Heatsink - Socket LGA 1366 - FrozenCPU.com and Dynatron G520 2U Server Passive CPU Heatsink - Socket LGA 1366 - FrozenCPU.com
They look like they would not cool the cpu as much as the stock. They...
Thanks for all your help.
I am pretty much at my budget max right now, so I don't know if I can afford a $75 heatsink. I guess would it be cool to use stock heatsink until I can find the money for a better one?
Obviously I wouldn't be overclocking on a stock heatsink.
I really don't know a...
I will be purchasing an i7 920 soon. I was thinking about overclocking. Frankly, I'm a little scared of doing it.
so I read http://www.techist.com/forums/f10/overclocking-basics-temperature-guide-20319/
So im not gonna do anything extreme with watercooling. I would just want a air cooled...
Right, I usually throw my important data on another drive and dvds when backups are needed. So that won't be a big change for me keeping only the recoverable data on my raid.
I will be building a new pc soon. I want to set up a raid 0 for performance increase. I have been fiddling with computers for around the past 6 years. I'm no expert.
This build will be the first time I set up a raid. I will be purchasing 2 identical disks. I was reading that its safer to have...
