    New build advice needed for new PC 20-25K

    Find out what is missing in the OEM bundle and what the warranty period is. If its a 3 yr warranty, then its ok. They might remove essential items like SATA cables. Driver disks or manuals aren't important. Yes, they should show you all the components. And they will assemble the basic...

    CPU/Mobo What SpeedFan's reading means?

    Those are the readings from your PSU. The 12V lines look out of spec, but its most likely a faulty sensor. Use a multimeter to check. Which PSU?

    Storage Solutions Things to be done when you install new HDD ?

    Yes if you are re installing the OS, enable SATA / AHCI mode. But, which OS? If its XP, you will need SATA drivers on a floppy or slipstreamed into your install disk. The fake IDE mode was a workaround for this SATA driver problem in XP. I dont think Windows has any SMART monitoring...

    PC Peripherals 15K(max.) Budget : Need to buy a Display with the best Picture Quality

    Yup, PA238Q is not worth it at all. Very expensive! For some reason, looking at the price, I was mixing it up with the true 8 bit PA246Q. Yeah sorry about that dude, got mixed up with the PA246Q. 8 bit H-IPS panels are an option. The U2410 is about 25K odd. The PA246Q is over 40k? Expensive.

    CPU/Mobo idle temperature of CPU???

    Run OCCT and then report back. This half load state temperature is pointless. What are your room temperatures? What are your hard disk temperatures?

    Storage Solutions Things to be done when you install new HDD ?

    Dont change SATA to IDE mode or vice versa unless you are reinstalling the OS or you may encounter a BSOD. Ideally it should be SATA. IDE mode is for compatibility with older OS's. Partitioning is up to you. Mostly not needed, unless you have the OS also installed on it, in which case its...

    New build advice needed for new PC 20-25K

    Proc - You can look at the Intel G620 which is nearly half the price. Few minor features missing and slightly lower clocks, but nothing you will notice. i3 2125 only has a better IGP than the 2120, nothing else. Motherboard - OEM boards are usually bare. No manuals and extra bits. Most...

    PC Peripherals Desktop UPSes in office

    Good decision. Adding my 2 cents.. A typical desktop UPS will only be the line interactive type. This type has a bit of voltage regulation and shifts to battery when your power supply goes beyond a tolerance range. If your power supply is bad, this will wear out your battery sooner. Only...

    PC Peripherals 15K(max.) Budget : Need to buy a Display with the best Picture Quality

    All these models.. except ML248H.. likely use the same eIPS panel. The major difference will be the response time compensation/overdrive circuitry. TFT Central Both the LG IPS231p and AOC i2353Ph are slower than the U2312HM. The Asus ML239H looks the cleanest. This should not be...

    21-30k URGENT - your help required!

    Can you post the detailed pricing of the cabinets and PSUs? A price difference of 2532 is huge. Nobody knows about the PSU bundled with this CMP-350. Please do not take advice from Mac.rock. He is confidently saying its good, but doesnt even know the specs of the PSU!

    CPU/Mobo idle temperature of CPU???

    What temperatures are you seeing? Below 50 degrees C should be normal. Hard to guess-timate without knowing what sort of ambient temperatures there are inside your cabinet. But its pointless, since its the Load temperatures that matter.

    Storage Solutions Which one is better SSD

    12k for the Samsung 830 doesn't seem worth it, with the M4 only 8.5k. 4KB random R/W is slower than the M4. Guess so. Can someone check with PrimeABGB?
