    I don't know if I want to run cables all over the house on each floor, but its a last resort option :D

    Need suggestions on how to network my home.

    Hello, I'm fairly new at setting up network connection throughout my 2 story home (+ basement) and wondering if anyone has any answers or suggestions. I'm planning on setting up my desktop computer on the 2nd floor which is located at the corner of the house. I have two smart tvs, one is...

    Surge Protectors

    Hmm I'm not to sure if understand the 'going over the 60%' part. I have no clue how much watts my computer even draws in. Would it be the power supply which is 650 watts? I'm looking to shop at Canada computers and noticed there are many to pick out. Any recommendations on brands? APC ones...

    Surge Protectors

    I noticed they all have a certain amount of watts on the products. How do I know which one to get? The more the better?

    Surge Protectors

    whoa, I believe ya, but that thing is way to expensive. Stupid question, but do they consume a lot of power or something? I live in an apartment and pay hydro. These certain types of surge protectors don't raise the electricity usage level do they?

    Surge Protectors

    Hey guys, not sure if this questions falls in this thread, but i'll try. Just got a new computer rig last month and its awesome. Next purchase on the list is some kind of surge protector as I've been having random electricity outage in my apartment for a quick second. Sucks and very...

    i7 930 with hyper 212 heatsink plus?

    Run a nuclear power plant? 8 volts of power? lol, i don't know if these are positive things or not :) But in anycase, I guess I'll leave the temps at that since there isn't much else to do. I think I'll even get a second 120mm fan to mount on my hyper 212+ heatsink...maybe do like a push pull...

    i7 930 with hyper 212 heatsink plus?

    Room temp has been around 24-26C. I heard if I increase the voltage of my cpu fan in the bios, it'll speed up? So do you think the fans are running at the speed they should be? I think I'll download speedfan and see if I can do anything about them. Although, that might increase the noise...

    i7 930 with hyper 212 heatsink plus?

    I do not find it loud at all. Maybe thats my problem because its not spinning at the rpm it should be? Anyway, I'm not really sure what else to do here about my temps. Its not a big problem, but would be nice to bring it down a slight notch from the 40-50s. Other than that, I might get a...

    i7 930 with hyper 212 heatsink plus?

    Ok, finally used prime95 to get some results. Used the settings Large FFTs with HT and 4 workers....whatever all that is :) What do you guys think of the results? In HWmonitor (couldn't get everest working for some odd reason), it seems all the fans aren't going above 2000rpm. Shouldn't they...

    HAF 932 with more LED lights?

    Hey guys, just put together a new rig and loving my new HAF 932. This is not a really big deal, but I'd like to add some red LED lights in it because there seems to be only one red one in the front of the case. Since there is a window at the side of the case, I just like to be able to see...

    i7 930 with hyper 212 heatsink plus?

    Its not overclocked. Idle temp is around 38-42C. Room temp is around 24-25 I believe. Then again, last time I checked that, the room temp was high as well as the idle temps on my CPU. And yup, AC has been running on for a while :) but I don't know..feeling a little lazy, but maybe I should...

    i7 930 with hyper 212 heatsink plus?

    Hey folks, just a curiosity. I've recently put together a new rig and just wondering about what the average temp is with a Cool Master Hyper 212 on an i7 930. I'm currently using Real Temp to monitor the temperatures. I'm averaging around 39C-45C. I see at one point it went up to about 55...

    new build won't boot up! help.

    Thanks Grim for clearing that up for me. I have the HAF 932 case and with my Antec PSU connected, it was really hard using the cables provided to connect my hard drives and cdrom. Not to mention, with only 1 PCI-E cable to the vid card. I went down to Canada Computers and picked up a Corsair...

    new build won't boot up! help.

    You guys are awesome! When you mentioned that 2 cables should be connected to your mobo i realized only one was. I was scrambling around to find another cable in the new motherboard box and found an unattended cable from my PSU. I just combined and connected it to the empty slot i found on...

    ATI XFX 5850 pin connector help

    Just put together a new rig and can't determine if i need a new power supply or not. I just bought the ATI XFx 5850 radeon card. And I'm using my old Antec 650 neopower power supply. I noticed my power supply only has 1 individual PCI express (6-pin) cable that can go on the vid card...

    new build won't boot up! help.

    Just put together a new rig that came in the mail today and sadly disappointed that I can't get it to work. Everything seems to power on properly except nothing boots up on screen. Motherboard lights are on, case fans on, CD-rom can open as well. I don't hear any beeps either. Seems like the...
