    Converting M2 PCI-e to SATA-III in Asus N551JB

    If the laptop has a spare PCI-e 3.0 x4 you can buy a m.2 to pcie adapter and it will work fine. If it is PCI-e 2.0 I wouldn't bother as you'll not make fill use of the 960 Evo

    Anyone else pre-order the Samsung 960 Evo M.2?

    I pre-ordered mine three weeks ago and it arrived on the 21st Nov. It does still say awaiting item on the website so they are giving them to people who pre order and then running out of stock

    Hi Demo, Sorry for the delay in replying, I plugged in both 6 pin power supplies into the card and it worked straight off It may be that the card is not getting enough power from the T7400. My card needs 150W which works fine, I note that you card needs 170W. Whilst the PSU has more than...

    I have an old Dell T7400 with a Nvidia Quadro FX1700

    Final UPDATE: Sound is working at last. I bought an HDMI cable that had a sound port in it. Connected my speakers to this an all of a sudden I had two playback devices available when previously I had none. I then had the option to update the software for the integrated sound card (not on the...

    I have an old Dell T7400 with a Nvidia Quadro FX1700

    Hello, in device manager under sound, video and game controllers it shows one entry "High Definition Audio Device" I've tried "scan for hardware change" but this does nothing. The intel drivers come up with the message "The audio driver files do not support your computer hardware" I am right in...

    I have an old Dell T7400 with a Nvidia Quadro FX1700

    Yes I agree it is an ADI audio device. I was clutching at straws to see if the Realtek would do anything at all.

    I have an old Dell T7400 with a Nvidia Quadro FX1700

    Hello, Without wanted to sound stupid, how do I do this. I asked Dell and they said that my machine came supplied with XP and so they only have XP drivers for it and no Windows 7 drivers ! I tried the XP drivers and it says they are not compatible. Looking at the forum I see there are lots of...

    I have an old Dell T7400 with a Nvidia Quadro FX1700

    Hello, Following your advise late last year I upgraded my video card to a Radeon 5870 and it works well thank you. I've done something silly though and hence need some advise again. After installing the card I downloaded the current drivers and it suggested updated the sound drivers to which I...
