I was just wondering if I hooked them up to the fan leads on my mobo if they'd show the RPM of the fan. Right now, I have them connected to a PS cable. Guess not....

westy

What I'm wondering is if the connections on my motherboard will "read" the (2 wire) fan speed if connection to the headers on the mobo.

westy

Just curious if the case fans with a black and a red wire (2 wires total) will have a speed sensor.

Thanks!

westy

Eventually I will. I bought a Zalman CPU cooler for it so I'll be ready when I decide to burn it in good!

Intel I7 is sweet as well, it will be waay faster than a Core 2 Duo.

I'm looking forward to putting it together this weekend!

If it runs fine and I don't get any errors, I'm sure I'll leave the 16 GB GSkill in.

Well, I bought the following on black Friday:

Asus Sabertooth Mark ii
Intel Core i7-4790K
G.SKILL Sniper Series DDR3 1866 16 GB (2 x 4GB x 2 each)
CORSAIR Vengeance DDR3 1600 8GB (2 x 4GB)
CORSAIR HX Series 750W PS

I'm not sure which memory I'll use. I bought the Corsair first and then saw the ...

I'd like to stay under a grand if possible. I can use my existing PS, case, perhaps video card and SSD and hard drives. All that leaves me is a mobo, CPU and RAM. Maybe have to upgrade video card too.

westy

Well, seems I've been away from the computers for a while and have lost track of things! Went to load up COD Advanced Warfare and lo & behold, my system (see sig) doesn't meet the minimum specs! What!?!?!?!

In the past few years, I've upgraded some components of my PC, but the mobo and CPU are the ...

I have an old Olympus C-3040 digital camera that takes the big SmartMedia card, and I am looking for an adapter that will fit in the camera and adapt one of the newer +GB micro SD cards.

Has anyone ever seen an adapter for this? Would this one work:

I bought her a Kindle Fire and so far she's been really happy with it.

Hi all!

I need some feedback in a hurry!

I'm going to buy my daughter a Nook or Kindle fro getting straight A's and I know NOTHING about them. She's 9, so I suppose it will be email, web, games, ect.

Can someone please give me an idea why one is better than the other, or comments? The price ...

Now why didn't I check that? Thanks!~

westy

Can't seem to figure this one out... The only way I can get it to fill the screen w/o moving side to side is at 1600 x 1200 resolution.

westy

It is 1920 x 1200, my mistake. I've tried both DVI and VGA. I'll post more when I get to work this morning.

westy

I have the latest drivers for the card but couldn't find any for the monitor. I'll double check tomorrow. I was hoping that someone else had a 1900 x 1200 and would see the post.

westy

It's almost liKe the resolution isn't supported or something. I don't think a KVM switch is the fix. (A KVM switch (with KVM being an abbreviation for keyboard, video, or visual display unit, mouse) is a hardware device that allows a user to control multiple computers from a single keyboard, video ...

I just bought a Hanns G 1900 x 1200 monitor from "the egg" for a sale price of $ 239 (free shipping) and I'm impressed. It's not as good as my Asus, but worth the price I paid.

I do have one issue though, and maybe someone can help me fix it. I can't get the screen to display the entire desktop ...

I have a Kingston 16 GB USB drive on my key chain that carries some work info and I was thinking this should probably be protected in case I ever lose it.

Anyone have recommendations on how to encrypt of password protect the drive?

Thanks in advance!

I think both have integrated graphics, but not sure. I know the Asus does. The Acer was a BB deal, and at $ 239.00, I can't believe it had a dedicated graphics card. I'll Have to check. Both were plugged in and I do a pretty good job on keeping all drivers up to date. Neither as speed demons, but ...

I saw the egg has this video card on sale today and need some educated opinions on how it compares to my existing card!

Sorry about the links, the OM one looked funky to me!

Everything is basically the same. Same, HD, RAM, CPU, ect. from what I can tell.

I'm looking at buying a new laptop to update my Celeron unit. I use it mostly for work and surfing at the cabin, so I don't need a real speed demon.

Any idea on how the Netgear 3400 compares to a Linksys WRT400N?

westy

Yup, the RT314 has been running strong for quite a few years! I figured I'd get a few chuckles out of that but the darn thing is bullet proof and runs without a hick-up!

I looked at the 3700 but for double the money, I can't justify the added features. Since the 314 isn't wireless and I have to run ...

I'm considering buying a new router to replace my aged Netgear RT314, and am thinking about buying a Netgear WNDR-3400. My main computer and the other 3 in the house are wired, and I have a desktop in my workshop that connects wireless through a Cisco/Linksys WRT400N wirelss router. I thought if I ...

Can CDBurnerXP do the simple authoring too? Like adding a main menu?

westy

It sounds like DVD Flick can do it all, authoring and burning, so I'll give that one a go first. (Correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks guys!

westy

For some reason, my trusty Nero Vision shuts down whenever I try to take an AVI file and burn it to a DVD. It worked fine up until a few days ago and I don't have the patience to track down the problem.

Any recommendations on a good quality DVD authoring software that does a quality burn? I tried ...

With three kids (2 eight year olds and a ten year old) it's time to get some software that keeps them on the straight and narrow. With all the pop-ups and crap you get with a innocent search I need something on their computers.

While looking through my documentation today, I see there's a feature of the Asus P5Q-E called Drive Xpert. From what I can tell, it looks like I can connect another hard drive for storage this way. It notes:

I'll have to check the fine print on the drives to compare the specs. From a longevity standpoint, I suppose the new drive would have more life left (for lack of a better term) than the old one......

I bought the HD for storage, but then found out I don't have a spare SATA port. When I noticed that the OS HD was 16 MB, It got me thinking. I could leave the 400 GB 16 MB HD as is, and pull one of the 1 TB HD's I have and replace it with the 2 TB. (The 1 TB would go into my other box).
