Here is a pic of the cpu socket. The pin in question is shining in the bottom right corner. It just seems.. off from the rest. Enough so it even catches the light differently.

Yeah it does scream fried mobo. One thing I always wondered about this thermaltake case was the mobo mounting setup. It has mounting brackets that are elevated off the back, almost like a bridge, and then a couple flat areas for screwing in standoffs. The way I installed the mobo was to slide...

Hey everyone. I built my own system back in 2011 and had no issues until now when I decided to upgrade my cpu from a sandy bridge i3-2100 to an i5-2500k. Here's the specs: cpu: i3-2100 sandy bridge(old) i5-2500k (new) gpu: nvidia gtx460 case: thermaltake V3 Black Edition mobo: ASRock H61M-VS...

It's an AMD Athlon 64. Those Radeon models were kinda what I was looking at. Or a Geforce 7600 GS. I saw somewhere though where it was stated that the HD 3850 may not take full advantage of a single core processor and a better alternative might be a 2600 XT. All of these are pretty tough to find...

What would be my best bet for a good AGP graphics card utilizing a single core processor?
