    Power Supply Failure! How to tell?

    So, I yanked the PSU out of the case, and tested with the "paperclip" method and nothing. It is definitely dead! So, to put my mind to rest (Please!!!) if I confirmed that the motherboard did receive power when I plugged my old PSU into the board (status lights did come on) and the...

    Power Supply Failure! How to tell?

    I have to say, I have seen some complain about Coolermaster C/S, but they answered the phone in less than 1 minute. The guy was very helpful and sent me out the instructions for jump starting the PSU in minutes. He talked me through the process and suggested I RMA the unit to them instead of...

    Power Supply Failure! How to tell?

    So, put one end of the paperclip in the green connector and one end in the black connector while the PSU is not plugged in and not connected to the motherboard at all! Then plug in just the PSU to the outlet and see if the fan spins? Is that right?? I don't understand the other part about...

    Power Supply Failure! How to tell?

    Hey folks, so I just finished my new rig, went perfectly no issues. Got OS to load, updated drivers etc. All temps were in the norm, volts were good. I left the room while the computer was installing updates and came back and it was turned off. Checked the status lights on the motherboard...

    $600 to Spend on Video Card for my system

    I may pull the trigger on this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133256 The egg has a combo deal and promo code for an antec true 750w P/S. My issue is that I am under the impression that a 750w p/s will not be enough if I decide to SLI in the future. Any...

    $600 to Spend on Video Card for my system

    Thanks all for a very spirited debate! I discounted ATI flavor only because of experience with nvidia and most games I would play are maximized for nvidia. Let me ask, what about triple 260's? This has been largely ignored as an option. Given the low prices currently on 260's, what about a...

    Can I bring my post back on point? I appreciate the spirited debate...really I do, but, for now, Blazemore, why do you say no to the 295? It seems the 285 has the votes as of now.

    Argh!! So confusing! So, perhaps I am best waiting a bit, letting the 275's come out, see where prices go. I just don't know what to do :confused:

    Based on these numbers and my max rez of 1920x1200, won't a 275 SLI system be more than enough?

    Sounds like the general consensus is leaning towards the 285.... The price just seems artificially high.

    $600 to Spend on Video Card for my system

    Thanks all.... I was looking hard at the performance difference between the 280's and 285's and it seems difficult to justify the added price of the 285's. Let me throw some links of what I am looking at.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130433 Possibly in a...
