    4870 power

    Oh, and I forgot to ask.. Will it damage anything if my PSU doesn't have enough power? How will I be able to tell if it doesn't? Thanks, KC.

    4870 power

    Thanks for that. I'm probably just getting paranoid because I usually get brand name PSU's but I got the Huntkey because it was cheap but they don't seem like the greatest make!

    4870 power

    Hi, I've just bought a 4870 (should be arriving shortly), however I'm questioning my PSU. I have this power supply: http://www.huntkey.com/eng/productmore.asp?id=666 It has 2 PCI-E connectors but I think they're on the same rail. Is this normal? I read the ATi website and it says the...

    PSU for 4870

    I have an OcUK Huntkey 550W PSU.. This does actually have two 6pin connectors which the 4870 needs. Would this be powerful enough for it (amps and whatnot)? I noticed though that both the 6pin connectors are on the same wire.. is this normal? I just would have imagined it being better if it...

    4870 questions...

    Thanks for that. I wasn't sure about my PCI-E slot.. I just went off what some sysinfo tool said but it didn't seem right anyway. So case size and slot should be ok. Does anyone know about the amps question on my psu? Not sure if it'll make the grade and I really want to be sure before I buy...

    4870 questions...

    Hi, I read a few threads but my questions are kind of specific. I think my board (Gigabyte GA-P35c-DS3R) only has a PCI-E 1.0 slot.. will the 4870 (PCI-E 2.0) take a performance hit due to limitations by the slot? Also, I've had a bit of a look but I haven't really seen any sizes for this...

    Network being hijacked?

    I think he was having a problem accesing his router page.. he was saying he doesn't remember setting a password or anything.. so I linked him to a page that tells him the default passwords for his make of router and I told him to try resetting it and putting the passwords in and he couldn't do...

    Network being hijacked?

    Hi, I'm posting on behalf of my girlfriends dad (who knows nothing about PCs). He seems to think his network is being used by other people who live near him and he doesn't know how to get encryption working. I would do it for him but my girlfriend came from America so he's still there and I'm...

    Cheap S939 mobo...

    a mounting problem? hmmm... my northbridge cooler isn't exactly the sturdiest thing... but the northbridge temps were showing as less than 40 so I didn't think that would be making a difference?

    Cheap S939 mobo...

    Fatrakoon: I would have liked a decent replacement if not the same one but I suppose I don't have to because it is now my girlfriend's PC (my second pc :p) so it probably will remain at normal clocks from now on. I have a new one that I use to play the more demanding games, but I at least want...

    Problem with pc... may be northbridge?

    I think the rails are running perfectly fine when idle... i've checked them before and they're all pretty close, like the 5V was 4.99V and stuff. I was gonna try getting a cheap mobo to test with but s939 mobos seem to have disappeared?! Is there any way I can test the PSU just to rule it out? I...

    Problem with pc... may be northbridge?

    Well I just tried putting it all back down to defaults, no overclock or anything and it played for a while but then it still crashed. It can't be temps, they're all like 30-35C even whilst playing the game. My specs are all high quality stuff I'm pretty sure: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice DFI...

    Problem with pc... may be northbridge?

    I have the processor overclocked 200 MHz, but it should be able to handle it... When I bought them it was specifically because they could overclock, the DFI board was supposedly the best at the time and the venice core processors were supposed to overclock much more than 10%.... It could be...
