I waiting for that to rebuild right now yes

Also Chiney boi why not take DDR3 1600?

[firstchoicett]

seeing right here? Chiney buying a ATI?

world must be coming to a end.

Circuit Zone get a APC. Just walk in and tell them what are your needs. The people there will help u. If it ever fails, just carry it back with the invoice and it will be replaced (yup, happened to me and they changed it same day!)

a 750VA should be under 800$. Don't chinks on this. No offence eh, but I hate when people spend so much money on a rig and then want to chinks on protection...

I dont think you would need that much coverage but it got about 8 minutes of power with my system. I draw ~170Watts with everything idled. (this is measured using a power meter and the APC program showed a similar figure)

We got 1050VA in stock for $950.00

Sometimes these systems does draw all the UPS power on boot.


I cant overclock my PC when its plug into the battery in the UPS otherwise it will cut off lol. The system draws a Total of 1200 watts in full load when i measure the total wattage.

another plus for Sandy Bridge yes

The 32nm process uses considerably less power than other comparable chips. I'm overclocked to 4.6Ghz stable with a i7 2600k using a 750W PSU and a 725 ES APC with no power problems.

SSDs use very little power too.

[bushwakka]

^^everyone seems to be buying a 750w PSU....u have the corsair too or wa? I have a 750W corsair as well lol

[Virus]

Duane 3NE 2NR woa there uncle before you start back with your Sandy Bridge he said PC not CPU firstchoicett is running quadfire that alone is about 900watts so coupled with the 980x that's why he needs 1200watts

And at the time of building his rig Sandy Bridge was still a blue print on a wall
Tho the Sandy Bridge is good there's 1366 rigs out there beating them up left and right with the 980x still ontop dont ask me why who cares its not and AMD runs off and hide

BTW if i was going to go intel i would go Sandy Bridge too Duane 3NE 2NR sell me your rig and upgrade you know you want tooo

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

didnt realise he was running quadfire

yeah but US$1000 for a 980x vs US$320 for a i7 2600k

BTW if i was going to go intel i would go Sandy Bridge too Duane 3NE 2NR sell me your rig and upgrade you know you want tooo

LOL nah I good until I see what LGA 2011 has to offer

[Chiney]

well boy FCTT

u see right

i cant handle Nvidia and INTEL prices

that rig i going build, will handle anything them men here doing.. so i safe!

[firstchoicett]

Yea d price lil hot e..but sometimes you does need a lil extra juice i might upgrade the office PC to 2600k and drop in one of the 5970 into it.

Have a few upgrades to do either this moth or next month

Thinking about 2 590 EVGA classified Limited edition (Water Cooled with EVGA block)

Also want to upgrade meh Ram to DDR3 2200mhzs. i have to do over the water cooling system as well.

So either this month or next month allyuh go see some upgrades.

[Chiney]

^^ that is unnecessary, cuz u maxing out games with a gtx 580.

but say wah, once u cud afford it !

[firstchoicett]

well i always wanted to see what them EVGA Limited Edition can do eh. so i have been saving up since d starting of the year but i think allyuh know what happen in April so thats the only thing that holding me back.

or i might as well just scrap the system and sell it and buy a Macbook Procause i dont really play games again.

Talk about a controlled leak indeed .

Some crap popped up and i guess BD and IVB would be out by the time i ready to upgrade . Any info on BD yet? i have seen plenty rumours online

http://www.legitreviews.com/news/10969/. Some guys pointed it out as fake though.

I can imagine these companies refresh their architecture so often that every 6 mnths they makin one regret buying stuff lol.

[webmaster1]

any1 got; hard drives, video cards, power suppllies or any computer parts selling?...i want some for my up-coming pc building

That's a broad request bro narrow it down a bit, brand, specs, performance requirements, even real world application ie entry level gaming, mid, advance, video editing things like that am sure we have many solutions for you

It rite dey. I just change the waterblock for the cpu. One of the fittings for the gpu block is a 5/8" so i had to use the appropriate size tube from the pump to the intake of the block (the black hose). Everything else normal.
