    51-70k Gaming Rig Under 60k

    Yup, S12II 520 is good enough. TX650 V2 if you are more comfortable with Corsair. The Crucial M4 is the better choice.

    31-40k Gaming CPU config suggestions needed

    As I said before I am under the impression nitrous is getting his board from abroad, so a reliable good quality board should be his priority, not the RMA aspect. I read the Asus UEFI thread, and the user seemed annoyed with his BIOS throwing him warnings. Again, UEFI is a feature, but I am...

    51-70k Gaming Rig Under 60k

    Which PSU for 6k are you looking at? Please mention the model, not the price. The S12II 620W is not 6k. Dont get this. The Crucial M4 is much better.

    31-40k Gaming CPU config suggestions needed

    That Gigabyte board looks fine, is full ATX, and the pricing is good value. How a UEFI BIOS looks is just an extra feature, and not a deal breaker. Unless you are a massive BIOS tweaker, I doubt you will even look into the BIOS. Why should a good quality motherboard fail and need RMA? I have...

    31-40k 35k gaming pc

    HD 7850 -> 130W i3 2100 -> 65W Motherboard, Hard disk, fans, etc -> 50W? A peak of approx. 250W, almost entirely on the +12V rail. CX430 V2 is rated for 336W/28A peak on the +12V rail, so your PC load is technically within limits. BUT .. 1. This rating is for a 30 degrees celsius...

    CPU/Mobo CPU or Mobo Problem??? :o

    No, I mean test the RAM modules using memtest86 on the working PC.. just to completely rule it out. If your non-working PC is able to get you to the BIOS, you can have a look at the memory timings. Sometimes even defaults can be too tight. Unlike before, memory controllers are now...

    21-30k Configuration for mid-end HD Video Editing setup

    2) i7 processor (non E model) is still a quad core with just slightly higher clocks and little more cache. Usually not worth the price premium. 3) Hold off on the GPU till you do some research. Google shows a lot of people disabling GPU acceleration due to rendering issues in Camtasia. How...

    Graphic Cards Irritating display issue.

    Cabinet leakage current is probably not related, but its due to improper earthing in your power socket. It is still good to fix it. Your other thread says you were facing high CPU temps... was that fixed? Your discrete GPU not working could be a faulty GPU, or even a PSU issue if its not...

    CPU/Mobo CPU or Mobo Problem??? :o

    IINM - If I'm Not Mistaken. Sorry about using short hand. To thoroughly rule out the memory, can you run memtest86 or any memory diagnostics on the other systems where the RAM is running fine? If you are able to access the BIOS in your system giving issues, you can double check memory...

    Storage Solutions Is my hard drive failing? Raw Read Error Rate is high

    There are conflicting opinions on raw read error rate. You can run Seatools and see what it says, it will work with Samsung drives.

    CPU/Mobo CPU or Mobo Problem??? :o

    Check your motherboard manual. 2 beeps is for memory IINM. If your memory is ok, get the board checked. It could also be your CPU if the on die mem controller is faulty.

    51-70k Gaming Rig Under 60k

    If you are getting an SSD, dont get the Corsair Force when you can get the Crucial M4 in India through primeabgb. I concur with pbaner... if you are spending so much, might as well get a good monitor which will last longer. A genuine query to others.. has 3D monitor technology matured...

    21-30k Configuration for mid-end HD Video Editing setup

    Which version of your video editing apps are you using? Some newer versions use GPU acceleration but only for few effects and video preview. Final rendering ends up being done on CPU. You need to check the product pages of your apps and see how much they use gpu acceleration.

    31-40k Upgrade vital components

    Some Ivy bridge prices - http://www.techenclave.com/systembuilder/exclusive-intel-ivy-bridge-processors-131043/ i7 3770K is 21k i5 3570K is 14.5k. 6k more is a lot for 100MHz more and 2MB more cache. Ivy bridge uses LGA 1155. So there is no increase in cost of motherboard for Ivy bridge i7...

    Sorry but theres a lot of misinformation in the post above. I would try explaining but I'm no expert on GPU pipelines. Just cautioning others who might mistake it for correct info. "videos are basically codecs" .. no they are data comprised of keyframes and differences in subsequent frames...

    PC Peripherals 400-450W PSU for C2D system+ SSD

    Cant go wrong with any of the above 3. All are excellent for both performance and warranty. Seasonic SS-400ES, SS-500ES. These are cheap no frills models, but I feel they are skimping on quality control. S12II is a comparatively better series. I didn't say it is "BAD", but its "NOT TOO...

    PC Peripherals Please suggest a suitable psu.

    One more in the mix - Antec VP550. Good design by Delta. If you extend your budget - Antec HCG620. However I've not seen reassuring after sales support for either Seasonic or Antec. I had the same problem and used a different editor interface in the General Settings panel.
