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

    Corsair - nothing other than CX430 V2 if you can find one. Avoid VS450. VX450 is discontinued. Seasonic - S12II 430 only. ES quality control is poor. not worth it. Coolermaster - GX450. A bit expensive. FSP entry level stuff is not too good. Who handles FSP after sales?

    Monitors LED monitor bleeding issue

    The bleeding would be more visible in a dark room. Its only an issue if its bothering you. Different people have different levels of tolerance. Dont look for it specifically and see if its still interfering when you use it.

    @atiamd - I did not post in your thread... are you confusing me with Jakob? @crashnburn - i got your reaction and stayed off your thread.. why are you still cribbing? A ) The first 2 guys recommended Corsair in a simple line. Your response - "there is such a lack of good techies here"...

    Good choice. Get 8GB RAM. I'm not a fan of Intel reference boards, but it should do.

    CPU/Mobo Wanna do upgradation. So need to know better options.

    If your primary usage is gaming, it wont last 6 yrs. Buy a midrange rig for 50k and use the remaining budget to keep upgrading key components, like the graphics card, every 2 years.

    Monitors Help me choose new monitor

    Try reading some text instead.. jagged edges on the fonts will show if the dot pitch is too low. TVs dont bother too much with small dot pitches cause it makes things more expensive and everyone sits a few feet away from a tv.

    CPU/Mobo Does it create any problem if cpu fan is connected to system fan header ?

    You can check your mobo model using cpu-z http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html else gigabyte may not have bothered updating the BIOS boot logo Stock HSF is adequate even for mild overclocking. G620 has a very low TDP too. The sys fan header is 4 pin, but doesn't have PWM.

    Storage Solutions Laptop 2.5" drive failed - how to revive it ?

    If your drive is dead, and you don't need the data, there is no point in reviving it.. it wont be reliable. Software cannot help. You can source an identical PCB from an identical hard disk and replace yours.

    CPU/Mobo Does it create any problem if cpu fan is connected to system fan header ?

    "If no control signal is present the fan shall operate at maximum RPM" http://www.formfactors.org/developer/specs/4_Wire_PWM_Spec.pdf A PWM fan in a non PWM controlled header will run at full speed, so there is no risk of your CPU overheating. Apart from BIOS warnings, you should not have any...

    Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500 W Power Supply Review | Hardware Secrets eXtreme power plus 500W is good for only 250W from the +12V lines. Beyond that it exceeds ATX's max 120mV ripple requirement. Even if you get the lowest power 7770, your PC will be using 250W. Running like this...

    Get a GT210 or GT240 or get a 4670 and try soft modding it to a FirePro. Maybe a GPU upgrade here will help you decide what to do with your other rig.

    Storage Solutions Internal HDD of my acer 5740 broken . what to do ?

    Its easy to replace your hard disk yourself. You just need to remove the screws securing your hard disk caddy and slide it out. Replace the drive, slide it back in and secure with screws. Check your laptop's manual.

    Seagate is shuffling the drives used in the Goflex series, so no comment on reliability. I would stick to an internal drive like the Seagate Green even with the lower warranty. Even 10 year warranty is no use if the drive is unreliable and you are using it for backup. Use a SMART tool to...

    Chaos and stormblast are right. AutoCAD and Sketchup both use CPU renderers. So get as much CPU power and RAM. Only your viewport is GPU accelerated. So get a Quadro for better drivers. Nvidia are crippling consumer graphics card drivers since the Geforce 400 series. People were getting lower...

    It isn't about tailoring responses, its about whats correct. MFPs with Individual colour ink cartridge price matchup.. (from flipkart) Canon - MG5370 - Rs. 10800 HP - B110a - Rs. 7400 Looks like you have it the other way round!
