    Best socket 754 motherboard with PCI express?

    Well done, I hope you'll be very happy together, Steve :) Anyway, this is me on me new rfurbished EPoX - couldn't get the onboard sound to work but it's OK cos I've put my old Hercules sound card in and that's actually fairly good. Now I've just got to return that Biostar *quake*...

    Sempron64 & heatsink cleaning query - urgent

    New CPU with AMD heatsink/fan. I put it on a duff motherboard so it had to come off and I'm about to put it on another mobo. I couldn't take off the SempronCPU+HSF "in one piece" because the lever to remove the CPU is tucked away under the heatsink, so they had to come off separately. I...

    Best socket 754 motherboard with PCI express?

    What do you need them for, Steve? I'm not being sarky, just curious :o Apparently the sound on some of these new boards is very good, and LAN is built in, and there's plenty of USB connections... so I'm wondering what PCI cards you need. I need to know, I'm burstin' :D clemenzina

    Best socket 754 motherboard with PCI express?

    I know what you mean about 'only 2 PCI slots', and having to fork out a fortune (well, it would be for me) on a PCIe graphics card if the onboard didn't quite meet, say, gaming needs, would put some people off too. 'Is it overclockable?' - my Biostar GeForce6100-M7 won't even POST :( and I've...

    Please explain stand-offs between mobo and case

    Excuse me starting a new post, this is still on the subject of non-POSTing GeForce 6100 + Sempron + 512mb DDR400. I'm just desperate for attention! Besides the user-review saying that the board won't POST with DDR400, I've also found one saying (I'm paraphrasing): "Make sure you have a...

    Additional 4-wire CPU connector?

    PSU had req'd 4-pin connector for CPU, I'd tucked it away tidily with cable ties. Upgrade completed but system won't POST :( :mad: *weep, wail* The fans are working and a green LED on front of case is going on and off slowly. On newegg.com (an American retailer that's sold loads of these...

    Additional 4-wire CPU connector?

    Thank you. As i said, I tried to think ahead and bought the 24-pin adapter 'just in case'... the thought of another £40-50 for a good basic PSU is scary, I'll plough on and see what happens. I can always put existing system back together again - famous last words :p clemenzina

    Additional 4-wire CPU connector?

    As I said above, Gaverick : Powerup LC-B350ATX. I've found exactly the same model number under several different brand names, someone said LC = L&C = Deer, who make cheapos, but it's never given any problems. clemenzina

    Additional 4-wire CPU connector?

    Just having a little read before starting my upgrade: GeForce6100 Skt 754, Sempron CPU, etc and I came across this: "Many new motherboards require an additional 12V, 4-wire connector for the CPU, which most power supplies older than two years will lack." I've already bought a...

    Must I format HDD or can I let XP suss new mobo?

    I've seen somewhere that XP will do a reinstall on a new motherboard/CPU/RAM setup, so I'm hoping you will confirm this - I don't want to have to format C: and reinstall all my progs. I'm about to dismantle everything, so am asking before I cut myself off from the world (it's awful, I feel as...

    Creating a secure password that you can remember!

    Ditto, Malc :confused: I've always just invented "names" for my password that I'm confident won't be in any dictionary, but I can see that it's not good enough. The numbers-for-letters trick is great, thanks, cos the results should still be quick to type :) clemenzina (bumping her post...

    Advice on Athlon XP-M, please?

    I've ordered a Sempron 64 3100+ L2 256kb, with a Biostar GeForce6100 mobo which, if flashed with TForce6100 bios, is a great overclocker, I'm told (as I've posted elsewhere here, and Biostar-US sent me the latest bios within minutes of me telling them it wouldn't download from their site)...

    Where to get hole cut in case for front USB?

    FYI I'm in south London; I've already looked at your gorgeous modded cases; yes, my case is old but it's better quality than what I could buy now, not forgetting delivery charges; and I'm too feeble to DIMyself. The drive-bay option is best for me, off I go shopping :D THANK YOU! clemenzina

    Best socket 754 motherboard with PCI express?

    Good grief!!! I wrote to Biostar-USA five minutes ago and I've just received an email from them with the latest bios attached. I can't wait to get my setup done, but this bios update is all I've physically got at the mo, all the rest is in the post :D Fingers crossed. clemenzina

    Best socket 754 motherboard with PCI express?

    And even cheaper, Biostar's GeForce6100, which is apparently (I read it somewhere) exactly the same as the T (turbo) version and if updated with the TForce's bios is very overclockable. That's if you can download the bios, which I can't, there seems to be a fault on website. clemenzina's...

    Where to get hole cut in case for front USB?

    I'm completely ignorant about case modding and metalwork. Am getting a new mobo and would like to be able to use front USB. I have a GlobalWin 802 case, more than 5 years old (I think they've modernised it a bit since I bought mine). There's nowhere for front USB access, so I wonder if you...
