    Question Trying to restore Alienware Aurora R3

    I added a more clear picture to the imgur post showing what is available. There is a 6 pin peripheral cable, 6 pin sata cable, 4 pin brown/black cable, and the older peripheral cable. I don't see any other cables coming from the PSU that would power the CPU.

    Question Trying to restore Alienware Aurora R3

    There are no markings on the card; so I did more digging. They look like the card listed on this page: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-460.c265 So, they could be 460s; I do not know if NVIDIA used the same shell on multiple models. I will attempt to connect the 780TI to...

    Question Trying to restore Alienware Aurora R3

    Pictures: View: https://imgur.com/gallery/alienware-aurora-r3-restoration-0NlrMb4 In the pictures, you'll see I have the GPUs connected, but the other end of the cable does not fit into PWR2. So, the gpu cable has to change. For the PSU, I searched "CN-0FPWDW-47985 Power supply" and got 305W...

    Question Trying to restore Alienware Aurora R3

    I am trying to restore an R3 that I have for my kids to use. Because the case is so rigid, I can't really move things around to simplify the build. I think I'm missing cables, but not sure which ones. I'm hoping that someone either has some pictures of the interior to share, or can help based...

    Question Keyboard/Mouse work on Win 10 ssd but not Win 7 ssd

    ASRock support finally got back to me and said the MB is not compatible with Windows 7. I guess my final options before returning the board is lordmogul's option. Any suggestions on where to look for a card like that?

    Question Keyboard/Mouse work on Win 10 ssd but not Win 7 ssd

    It's a multiboxing program for a game I play. Since Win 10 was released, I have been researching trying to find a solution. The program did work on Win 8.1, but took more fine-tuning of settings. With Win 7, I have very little set up to do. I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to run the game in...

    Question Keyboard/Mouse work on Win 10 ssd but not Win 7 ssd

    I just finished a new build on an Asrock z690 pg riptide. In addition to installing Windows 10, I also brought over my Win 7 ssd from my previous build Asus z97 pro. At first, UEFI only gave me one boot option. So, after disabling Secure Boot, I could try booting to Win 7. Keyboard and mouse...

    Question Upgrading from Asus Z97 Pro ac

    Thank you so much. I'm guessing I would put the capture card in the second x16 instead on that board? That wouldn't interfere with the GPU in any way?

    Question Upgrading from Asus Z97 Pro ac

    After inputting the requirements listed below, Pcpartpicker showed me a whopping 0 results. So, I'm hoping to find a good compromise at a good price. Current requirements: LGA1700 - i9 12900 1x pcie 16 - rtx 3070 1x pcie 4 - capture card 1x pcie 1 - sound card at least 2 sata ports at least...

    Question Trying to implement dual-boot with two drives, Win 10 and Win 7. Keyboard/mouse functionality gone on the Win 7

    No, the original Win 7 from the seller was wiped and replaced with a new Win 7. The Win 10 is my main OS; so Im keeping that one. A program I used to use doesn’t work on Win 10 but did on Win 7 and 8.1.

    I am getting error 0x80300024 after trying to select the new ssd as the install location for win 7 pro. Articles were giving all kinds of different info as to the cause. I do still have the main win 10 drive connected. Should I disconnect it for the install? I also tried several other usb...
