Thanks for all your help... its was a faulty psu :) Just ordered a new one.

The fans which were connected directly spun when the psu was shorted (however these were not connected when I tested so I will retest under load). Not sure if its semi-passive (its a colorsit 400w not sure which model).

I am having problems with a friends system. When the power button is pressed nothing happens (no fans start). On opening the case the Asus P5K-E wifi-ap board shows the green power light. I shorted out the psu (green and black) and tested the voltages and they all tested ok. I noticed however...

Thanks for the great advice all :)

I am looking for a cheap graphics card with hdmi output for a media server I am building. I would prefer if the sound was also output from the hdmi (if thats possible). The output is going to Be displayed at 1080p via blueray or movies stored on the hard drives. The media server will be...

What is the difference between PC2-5400C5 and PC2-5300? I need to upgrade a works Dell Precision T3400 and was wondering if PC2-5400C5 is compatable (currently has PC2-5300 667Mhz).

I have been lucky enough to win a copy of Vista Ultimate retail (from the Microsoft developer launch competition) :p and I was wondering if it is possible to install both the 32 and 64 bit versions on the same computer to dual boot? I would be nice to have the 32bit version to fall back on...

How big is the performance jump from a 1950XT to a 8800GTS? *edit* I just looked at some benchmarks and I think the 8800 is the way forward.

I am looking to upgrade my X800GTO2 256MB Pci. What is considered to be the best card in the £200-£250 range?

I have just found out that my Gigabyte Mobo (Gigabyte K8N Pro-Sli) doesn't support cpu smart fan for E6 stepping on my X2 3800. Is my best option fitting a fan controller?

Can anyone recommend a good fan controller (must be silver)? It needs to control two case fans and the heatsink fan.

I am using a big typhoon on the CPU which is quite quiet. The northbridge is passive so it's not that. I will take a look later to see and post the results here.

Does everyone have both of these fans running? I have just built my new system and it's noiser than I thought it would be. I think most of the noise is coming from the front fan so I am disabling it tonight and I will monitor the case temperature over the next few days. One thing I will say...

oops :)

The X850 has always been better but the X800 GTO2 could be clocked close. The latest X800GTO2 are R430 which are a lot slower. Sapphire changed the spec without saying (I ended with one) :(

I purchased one of these a few days ago and got a R430 :( Still waiting to see if I can RMA it.

How long ago did you purchase the x1300?
