It doesn't really matter, I'll just go with the Corsair RM series then

Anyone found anything actually worthwhile at this shop?😁
I'm out in rural Nebraska, so there aren't really any decent computer parts stores around here... and I'd rather not deal with the hassle of ordering online if I can help it.

I was hoping someone could point me toward a decent budget-friendly cooler from this shop
Thanks 🙂

So, I fired up my PC this morning and saw a red X over the speaker icon... it said the audio service isn't running

Motherboard: ASUS AliveDual-esata2 http://www.asus.com/mb/NVIDIA/ALiveDual-eSATA2/
And there aren't any yellow exclamation points or question marks showing up either...

Man, you guys really hit me with all these suggestions 😁
here's a photo for you

My speakers just quit on me, and I'm stuck wondering if it's a driver issue or something else entirely...
I tested them with my MP3 player and everything sounds perfectly fine, so the problem definitely lies somewhere within the PC.
To make things more complicated, I actually ran into this before after I installed a new graphics card. Back then, the speaker icon in the taskbar had a red "X" over it, but once I reinstalled Realtek HD Audio, everything worked again. Now, I've gone through the whole process of installing the drivers properly, but they still won't work...

I've got a quick question
I'm running an MSI R6570 2gb ddr3
I bumped up the Core Clock by 25mhz and the Memory Clock by 203mhz
Now I'm just wondering if I actually gained any real performance...
I used MSI Afterburner to do it

Are any of these actually

Can anyone help me out??
I'm looking for a decent power supply that won't break the bank, just something reliable enough to handle this build
CPU: Intel Core i5-4400
GPU: GTX 550 Ti
RAM: 3GB
Motherboard: ASUS P8H61
HDD: 5200rpm

Do you think the GTX 550 will work here?
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo
PSU: Linkworld 460W

It's my only option from what's available... there's nothing better than an HD 6850 or an HD 6450 left...

And one more thing, does this card need its own power connector? If it does, is it actually mandatory to plug it in...

I'm thinking about picking up this GPU, but I'm not sure if my current
power supply can actually handle the
setup
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM: 3GB
Old card: some old GeForce 6 series
PSU: a generic 460W unit
Thinking about buying this one

Oh, and here's the motherboard http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.as...ivedual-esata2

Which one's better?
the HD 6670
or the GT 440
http://www.hwcompare.com/10844/gefor...-6670-oem-1gb/ says the GT 440 performs better at higher resolutions
but Game-Debate claims this HD 6670 is actually 22% faster... now I'm just stuck on which one to grab

Thanks a lot, and yeah, I think I can squeeze in another 2GB of RAM 🙂

What do you guys think about a 5670 with 512MB of DDR5?
Do you think my current setup can handle it??
RAM: 1GB
CPU: Intel Core i5 dual-core
PSU: 460W Linkworld
And an ASUS motherboard

So, what do you think about this Sapphire HD 6570 with 1GB of GDDR3?? I found one for $183... Do you think my current rig could actually handle it??

Honestly, a GeForce 6 series card... I just know it's got 128MB and it’s basically useless at this point. But whatever, I ended up going with the GT 520 instead. It’s a low-power little thing, and even though it's definitely weaker than a GT 440, it actually does a decent job running newer games if you don't mind playing at a low resolution...

If that GT 440 wasn't an option, I'd probably just grab a GT 430 instead...
