Will 125w cpu not fry 125w motherboard under 100% load?

[sonyzz]

okay the cpu mobo and rams worked, tested it today, because today i got rams, corsair 2gb ddr3 1333Mhz cl9 windows worked, but i cant use them, because on xp there are no new mobo drivers 😀

 

[sonyzz]

That's nice to hear, the chipset, audio, graphics etc. drivers should be on the utility disc that came with the motherboard, just wait for the autorun menu to appear and click on chipset drivers to install.

but there is too much stock thermal paste,i can see that paste covers a phenoms metal case side a bit i should cover only top of it, and i put back old parts because i dont trust that "white energy" atx 2.3 500w psu its only got 12v1-18A 12v2-18 so 18A means that its only got 216w? i'd still planned to buy corsair cx500 500w, 12v 38A means 456w its 80+ bronze and for the answer, i can put the cd but i cant choose anything with win xp because mouce(usb) and keyboard(usb) are not working so i cant install untill i get adapter usb-ps/2 or ps2 mouce 😀 and friend selling to me a "IN WIN's" Griffin atx mid tower case like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108229 for 15$ (because he has better) is that case good?

 

[sonyzz]

You should only apply a small drop of TIM (Thermal Interface Material) (BB gun pellet size) in the middle of the CPU, the pressure applied from the cooler will spread out the TIM evenly, never spread the TIM as it would create air bubbles. As for the PSU, I would replace that with a better quality one like the corsair you mentioned because 216w is cutting it close. As a PSU age it will loose some of it's rated power over time, like a car loosing horsepower over time. For the price the case is fine, your choice.

applied small dot of new thermal grese with friend called "deep cool nz" like that temps are good, applied because stock thermal paste was too much its even spread out on cpu side's a bit,got used but still good appeareance case IN WIN Griffin midi tower case with additional 2 fans - one at front to push in cool air, and one at the back to pull out hot air, thats because BIG side fan got broken and he removed it, and i dont find that HUGE 22cm fan on my local stores,so there is option to put in two of 12cm side fans. And with all that stuff and all screws for 20$ i got the case from friend, also friend installed windows 8 64bit, on old pc was win xp 32bit
i dunno how much power in this psu because on some sites i read that you need to combine that amperage (12v1 - 18A,12v2 - 18A) but i'm still on my mind choosing corsair's builder series cx 500,not 600, because read that 600 got lot of issues i dunno why....and Asrock's mobo's integrated realtek chip 662 is not that good sound, like old GA-M61VME-S2 mobo's realtek ALC882 sound was supperb in comparison that it has been integrated,so i'm dissapointed in Asrock design,but was really supprised that this micro ATX is smaller than i imagined, so old mobo was not micro - mini everything else on mobo is fine by now,just that sound 20-30% less sound, and 20 less bass compared to ALC882

 

[sonyzz]

I used Deep Cool Z9 TIM with my new build and it's very good, much better than the pre-applied paste. Yes combining the Amps is how you get the final Amp output, but like i said a PSU does loose some of it's rated power over time as it age. As for the Integrated sound on the Asrock board.. you get what you pay for.. nuff said. The V2 of the builder series PSU's is very good for the money and obviously there are a lot of other more expensive PSU's out there, but it depends how much you want to spend of course. If you want i can recommend something else.

i got that in mind that your expression about sound, i buyed it because it was cheap, i dont make same mistake again, and i dont want to buy dedicated sound card because all we know how good Realtek's on board audio are,but i'm confused about newer board like 970A-UD3 i dont want that sound be like 20% less that old board's Realtek Chip, also the termal paste that you written is the same, dont know how cooler runs in games but 3000rpm then using vlc or mozilla is not that bad and processor load is just 6% max also plannig to buy HD7750 - is it good? i'm not plannig to go max but on 1280x1024 or 1366 x 768 rez will i be able to play games like fear 2 or newer at high settings? or would you recommend cheaper card that be able to play in that rez?

 

[sonyzz]

At 1280x1024 or 1366 x 768 the 7750 will be very good, but I'd spend a little extra if i were you on the HD 7770 if you cant the 7750 would do just fine. With both the 7750 and 7770 you will be able to play FEAR 2 at max settings even @1920x1080 as that game is not graphically demanding.

and for what should i go for GDDR5 1GB HD7750 or GDDR3 2GB 7750? 1GB of Vram enough to play on one monitor

 

[sonyzz]

Go for a 2GB GDDR5 version for future proofing, shouldn't be that much more expensive and future games will require more video ram, but 1GB would be fine but not a GDDR3 based card.

2gb of 7770 DDR5 card is 45% bigger price of 1gb 7770 DDR5, since 7750 1gb DDR5 like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102969 cost 104usd (274LT) on my country

 

[sonyzz]

It all depends on your budget, but i still recommend the HD 7770
Here is a cheaper HD 7750 if you must: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150612
HD 7770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131488R

so 1gb would be fine if i play on 1280x1024 or 1366x768 rez?

 

[sonyzz]

Yes at 1280x1024 or 1366x768 1GB will be fine, more than fine actually.

but phenom 2 x4 965 and HD7770 1gb DDR5 wont be bottleneck? because i want to find good and balacned combo)

 

[sonyzz]

There won't be a bottleneck

and that combo would work with corsair's cx500?

 

[sonyzz]

Yes it will

Yay, everything going according to my plan

 

[sonyzz]

is a gigabyte good manufacturer for gpu's? i know that it's good for motherboard manufacturing. but what about gpu manufacturing quality,or should i go for sapphire? selected Gigabyte hd7770 1gb GDDR5 128bit like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125415

 

[sonyzz]

Yes it is, but with graphics cards all manufacturers uses a reference design board for the GPU's except for when they release boards that's factory overclocked with their own unique coolers etc. When buying a graphics card you should look at, price, warranty, and bundles (if you care about games and extras like, cables etc. included with some graphics card manufacturers)

i ordered this one http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4133#ov dont know about revision, i'll get it next week so

 

[sonyzz]

Looks nice, good choice, and what about a PSU?

psu will be corsair's cx500, and.... i also got gliches with my onboard gpu like this http://www39.zippyshare.com/v/44575360/file.html
(but only in full screen,if i watch youtube that mini window mode no glitches), after playing fear 1 hour it's never been before i played fear 2 three days about hour per day,whats is the problem? about 5minutes after glitches i turned youtube to full screen again now there is nothing like that in screen.Overheating? and is only in youtube in gigabyte website viewing large photo get same pixel's view but less
Edit: Restarting pc helped

 

[sonyzz]

i'm confused now on gigabyte hd7770OC rev.2.0 is icon windows 8 compatible or ready dont know exactly,but on rev.1.0 there isnt, so revision 1 is not going to work with win8?and i read that need bios update because there is issues with card out of the box or there is user problems?and cpu with stock cooler runing 4600-4900rpm even then cpu temp is just 35-37C

 

[spooky2th]

You should be able to update the bios before you install any operating system. Gigabyte's Q-Flash makes it real easy with a USB thumb drive. And safe too.

you mean gpu bios right? but in website of that gigabytes gpu i read that bios update is very risky

 

[spooky2th]

It is actually pretty safe with gigabyte's dual bios. I have done it countless times with gigabyte boards and have not had the first problem. Before you load windows, boot into bios and load the new bios if there is a newer version using q-flash and a usb drive. The usb has to be formatted in fat32. It is normally formatted like that when you purchase it. Download the bios zip file and un zip it and you should have three files. Copy the three files onto the usb drive and boot into bios with the usb plugged into usb 2.0 port. You should see the q-flash option to load cmos.

Not the gpu bios, the mother board bios.

 

[sonyzz]

Sorry been away this weekend, Those artifacts can be caused by poor drivers, overheating and overclocking, try updating the drivers to the latest version. You're not overclocking so that's not the cause. I would say it's drivers or overheating. But you''ll be using the 7770 in a while so no need to worry about the on board GPU anymore. As for the REV 2.0 issue thing, nothing to worry about, it will still work regardless of having win 7 or win 8 installed, I think you are referring to the card having a UEFI bios, meaning it will boot faster with windows 8 installed, but will work without issues. My 7870 myst edition worked flawlessly on my old motherboard bios that was dated 2010, and it's been said your motherboard must have a bios release after Oct. 2012, It's a windows 8 compatibility issue, don't update your bios now.

i dont have gpu yet and stock fan noise is making me crazy it is really like small jet engine 😀 and actually near my pc is 31C hot in first floor 28C hot

 

[sonyzz]

That's very hot and those artifacts is most probably caused by the heat.

at that day when i was playing was not a very hot day like today, and i'm planning to buy cooler master tx3 evo cooler so it will be good with this 31C degrees heat? i know that 212 evo will be good but i think my motherboard cant hold it and my case is to small for that cooler,if stock fan not make this "jet engine" noise i probably be sitting with it, 5133RPM cpu temp 36-38 using only mozilla and vlc(playing music) and one more question can i install it this way http://www.coolermaster.com/uploadfile/fileproduct_list/P13021804159d85/PRDPIC/b6686bff3bef45d213e854605411ac43_1361408991.jpg pulling lock mechanism thru heat pipe that it be like this http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-1EKqJ7nDO94/ToMPyGzC5lI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/giH-xGqXA40/s1600/126c_tx3evo.jpg using amd stock plastic bracket, because i dont want that it be this way http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/xYyqe4N1ZT4/mqdefault.jpg i thin i'll do amd lock bracket like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lapNo5_2IYk thru heatpipe and put it on stock plastick bracket

 

[sonyzz]

got the gigabyte hd7770 gpu today and its the second revision http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4278#ov now i'm planning on changing the psu, i was about choosing corsair cx500, but i read negative comments about it, that it heat's up or fails after 3 or 10 months, 2 or 3 of 10 comment there telling that having issues with it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027 i readed that cx600 have many issues but never thought that cx500 also have, so i'm very confused now
:/

 

[sonyzz]

If you can stretch your budget and you don't want to take a chance on the corsair i would recommend this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096

want to test my gpu, but i'm thinking it will work with 500w noname'ish brand psu? actually two rails 12v 18A = 432w is 432w enough juice to even test gpu? and i know that Seasonic is very good brand like Antec i think i'll be buying seasonic psu, but what about this psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094 is it good?

 

[sonyzz]

Yes it will be more than enough, and the 520w seasonic is also more than enough but i gave you the link to the 620w version because it's the same price as the 520w

is corsair a good company anyway?

 

[sonyzz]

so planning to take chance on corsair, coz my budget this month is shrinked up and i want to buy cooler master tx3 evo for my cpu aswell before they sold out, by the way - i got two corsair vs(value select) 4gb(2gb per stick) ram 1333Mhz CL9 and they do fine. and is modular cx500m better than original cx500 because their price differs only few bucks,will modular fit in this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108229

 

[sonyzz]

now i have big question - why when i download something and download speed is 4-5mb hdd led show speedy blinking and hard heards like its having hard work,but my system is lagging so much at that moment the only component that i see as bottleneck is hdd, because same was when its been on old pc(1,8ghz 1gb ram 256 onboard gpu,non branded 350w psu) but now?! with 4 3,4ghz cores 4gb ram,512 onboard gpu and 500w not branded psu its doing the same... also that hdd is 7200rpm speed witch is good, but its only 8mb cache and 160gb http://reviews.cnet.com/system-hard-drives/excelstor-jupiter-j8160s-hard/4505-9989_7-32561657.html does a cache make difference?i'm selecting WD hardrive and also wanted to ask witch is better "black" or "green"?

 

[sonyzz]

The bigger the driver the more cache makes a difference. The cache is there for storing recently used data that might be used again at a later stage for faster access when needed. And the WD Black is the faster HDD

i'm choosing hdd because its cheaper and its still good later when 500gb ssd price will be 100$ or 80$ then i buy ssd also we like hearing "jet plane engine" sound of my pc 😀 this week going to order tx3 evo and compare how cooler and silent it do the job
