Don't know if this the correct forum but here goes. I have a full tower case with 3 fan openings @ 80mm. The P/S has a single 120mm fan that pulls air into the case. There is one above the p/s about 2-3 inches above and one below about the same distance. There is one bottom front that pulls air...

700 is kinda what I was leaning towards. Glad to know I haven't completely lost my mind. And to think when I first started with computers 300w were yuge! Now if I could just find a Corsair700 on sale....:)

I'm looking at getting a new PS for my server. The current one is getting kind of flaky. What I'm running is this... Asus P5K MB with Intel 2.5ghz duo core and 8gbs of DDR2 nVidia FX5200 video Adaptec 2400A Raid controller 2.4ghz WiFi network card 2 WD Blue 500gb SATA hard drives 2 Samsung DVD...

I too suggest you change PS to a minimum of 550 W. A 650W would be even better. 450W is running the razors edge for sufficent wattage when running a higher end video card and doing games that require a lot from the video component. And the tech is full of it! AMD cpu's do not nessicarily work...

Jeez dude you went and let the smoke out! :)

Okay...I got this buttoned up. While I did have the wrong drivers for the card, they were working. So got to thinking I'm pulling this out anyway to install a Sound Blaster card what would it hurt to check on the speakers themselves? It's something that should have been done, but it'sa major...

I've done some digging on my own. To be honest 9/10ths of this problem is ALL my doing. I say 9/10ths because even though it was wrong it still was working 100% in Win 7. When I first installed the MB I never read the manual (who's surprised on that?) first install was XP and it said onboard...

Ok guys, got a strange one here. I'll lay it out as best I can. My computer is running an Asus P5KPL motherboard with an Intel quad core CPU at 2.5ghz, w/ 4 gb of DDR2 memory and a 500 gb sata drive. The OS is Windows 10, 64 bit. The onboard audio is Realtek AC97. I have the most current driver...

As far as Windows 10 spying....do a google search for "ShutUp10". With this software you can shut off ALL of MS spyware including Cortana. I use it and it absolutely works as advertised.

Ok I'm pretty sure I know the answer but, I want to make sure. I have a Asus P5 KPL maximum FSB is 1333mhz so memory clock speed is 667mhz. I found the amount and basic configuration I need with 1 problem. The memory is 2x2gb clock speed is 800mhz. Will the faster memory work at lower speeds...

Needing to upgrade memory here's what I have: Asus P4B mobo supporting 3-168 pin slots supporting up to 1gb per slot, pc100/133 unbuffered ecc or non-ecc SDRAM DIMM Will this work on the Asus board? 2gb pc133 168 pin ecc registered SDRAM DIMM

Just an FYI guys...I was wrong, DELL didn't password it. After customer moved, the HD failed and they had someone close by replace it. They are the butt-heads that did it. They figured that way no one else could work on it but them. At this point customer is sending me the laptop and I will...
