Any suggestions I assume your case is mid or full tower, and your PSU is micro-ATX? As for the wires, the motherboard documentation should show you where they go. On a positive note, 8GB RAM for $65, promo code EMCKEHK24 | ||

 besides the dvd/cd drive. I have the sata plug'd in. The one from the motherboard to the DVD drive. And the one from the power supply to the DVD drive.. I dont know what I am doing wrong...Note- I have the sata from the motherboard to the Dvd plug in on slot 2 - Harddrive is on 4. 1-3 are free, did this too make it a little more room-e. Dont know if that effects it at all. Suggestions are very well appreciated | ||

My Sapphire 4770 is quite audible at 100%, not to mention I have four 120mm and a single 140mm in my case(All running at 100%). At relative idle periods the card is around 40-44C and usually goes up to 55C+ underload, which seems fine considering its getting really humid and warm here. When it gets too warm for my comfort I usually just underclock it with Overdrive.

I am leaning towards this over the Twin Frozr since they offer lifetime warranty, but it seems that the Twin Frozr runs cooler and is quieter compared to the EVGA version.

EVGA cards are usually solid. I'm running 460 SLI without hitting critical temps, and that's in a Lanboy Air, which is at best a decent case for air cooling. And that's in a relatively warm area. They aren't super quiet, but the noise levels aren't bad generally, and the 500 series cards are improved over 400s for noise and heat. | ||

I almost had windows 7 installed then my computer reset and never turned back on. I couldnt turn it on for a little. I turned it back on and try'd a few things- Like I put on the Fail-safe setting.. Dont know if that did anything, then I put it on the load optimized defaults. I am having some problems with my computer-- My computer wont even turn on . I dont know what to do because earlier everything was working fine. Any help would be gladly appreciated. | ||
