Somehow, I really doubt even EVGA's awesome asses would be particularly eager to let me RMA a mobo that got blown the fuck up, although I'd try it if I had to. They're the only company that would be worth the phone call to find out, for sure. | ||

 I'm just glad it still works at all. Even if I'm stuck with a workaround to keep it running for now, fuck it. If it gets worse, I'll try downclocks. I just need it to last until spring, since I'm actually planning to finally start taking some college classes, and the new version of the GI Bill will help our income rather substantially, and I should be able to build something new finally. | ||

So I'm asking if there is an IRC for this forum? or can I just post the items. Thanks in advance! Computer build resource thread literally exists for that... make sure you read the OP. Oh, and there's also dedicated threads for keyboards and audio stuff. | ||

Whatevers. Was going to get the newegg one for 429. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150591 Then a friend showed me this one. http://www.gadgetneeds.net/xfx-radeon-hd-7970-core-edition-fx-797a-tnfc-video-card/ and http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3381851&CatId=7387 But ive never heard of this. Maybe they steal your 3 for free? Anyone got any suggestions? Or discount codes. Anything. Advice works too if you know me. | ||

Do you have the computer yet? Because you'll find out that the SATA power cable will not fit into that port. Because that port is for SATA DATA cables and doesn't power a single thing. | ||

Your schematic shows that you plugged the SATA powercable(s) into the SATA data-port on the motherboard. First of all: Didn't know that that would fit. Secondly, these cables should be connected to harddisks / DVD drives, not the motherboard. You should have cables with a similarly shaped connector, but less wide, to connect the motherboard to the harddisk/DVD drive. The "Peripheral 4 Pin" cable in the picture is used instead of the aforementioned SATA powercable for older drives. Which one you need should be obvious from inspecting the drive. Anything you buy new these days will use SATA. Finally, the PCI-e powercable goes into the videocard. Whether you need the 6 or 6+2 and whether you need 1 or 2 of them depends on the specific model of videocard you have (high end models require more power). In general: Almost every cable fits in only a single type of connector and most of the time, the shapes also force the correct orientation. It's hard to go wrong. The most common problem is forgetting to connect something, rather than connecting something in the wrong way. | ||

http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?high=&m=1677705&mpage=1#1677720 Simple version, new EVGA PSU, theoretically with relevant info tracking via USB, but I'm kinda leery about this. | ||

There have been power supplies with self monitoring in the past, like the Thortech Thunderbolt Plus: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=205 Corsair's announced AX1200i has something like that, and more: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5919/corsairs-ax1200i-dsp-controlled-psu A device with the necessary bandwidth to measure ripple is expensive, so they're not doing that. Just monitoring DC voltage and current isn't hard, particularly at a coarse level good enough for consumers. You know how cheap multimeters can be, right? Just slap some kind of USB controller, microcontroller, and some programming to that, and stick it all inside that chassis. | ||

Quad 690's (8 cores total in octo SLI) probably needs something like that. I dont think thats even supported though. If I was octo core mining I could see it. Hopefully its 80 plus platinum. I think my definition of ape shit might be more ape like. | ||
