    Did I really get two bad PSUs?

    Hi guys, So I recently ordered parts to build a new, rather cheap computer. My original order for the PSU was a DiabloTek 550W PSU. When I got it, as well as my other parts, I started installing them into my case. Due to my case's design, I had to remove the internal fan at one point to install...

    10.5k 3DMark06, good for GTX & 6000+?

    As per title really. Having re-built my system two weeks ago, I benched it while it was fresh and new (as per spec in my sig. although I ran without 4Gb RAM, just 2Gb.) and got 10630 I think. Seems a little low to me, I thought the GTX would have pushed a little bit further up. I'm running the...

    Are X580 and FX790 chipsets cross compatible?

    ATI's crossfire system is confusing compaired to Nvidia's SLI. Take two identical Nvidia cards and hook them up to any SLI motherboard and they work with out issue. Not so with ATI. ATI has had the X-Dongle where you had to buy a X-fire master card to get it work, then they came out with the...
