Hey, Ive got just a few questions but im a bit of newbie in theese parts so be gentle!! Well 3 things: Electro statical Discharge... WTF!! Lol do i have to worry about this if its a new case? Is it hard?? By hard i mean does it come with "easy" instructions? Whats the ram thing with like the 3-1-0 What is that? Thanks alot Alex
touch the case before touching a circuit board as that discharges the static electricity. http://www.pcmech.com/byopc/ http://www.dansdata.com/buildpc.htm http://www.motherboards.org/articlesd/how-to-guides/924_1.html
But what exactly does it mean, For example whats the best timing compared to the worst! OO and do you think in your opinion with alot of care someone with no experience of BUILDING computers could if they followed instructions? Soz to be a completly Newbie! OO and ddp ive read some of your guides and id like to thank you personally.
Here is exact Def http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAM_latency Oh and Building is a peace of cake even for people that aren't that good with computers.......Your motherboard comes with most instructions It's just basically putting parts in your case and Motherboard..... You also have to make sure all your parts are compatible with eachother
right thanks for clearing that up! Movng on lol! Whats Raid?? Is it an important part of installing new hardware?
RAID is kinda confusing Especially for a person just starting out...So i wouldn't recommend it It is basically if you have multiple HDDs and want to set them up to act as one...Or something like that In my opinion don't worry about it Here is the DEF http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
Lol ok. I know im asking soo many questions i really hope you dont mind. But this is probably the most newbie question you will have ever heard but a few months ago i was looking inside a really old pc that was in the garage somewere and i was looking at the connecter the wires go into that plastic thing that keep them together when they plug into a component. Why couldnt i pull them out. I admit i was being a lil causcious because i really didnt wanna completly brake it but was i doing anything wrong?? Also ATM i have an: PROC: AMD Sempron 3000+ MOBO: Asus A7v600-X Ram: Not 100% sure here but I know its corsair twin 512mb! Video card: Radeon X700 256MB Now im fine with my case.. My HD.. My Screen... Mouse... Dvd drive.. Keyboard... Case What could i do to really improve my system dramatically!! Thanks a lot P.s My PSU came with the case and i dont think its a good one. And if you were wondering how did i get that computer if ive never build one myself then the answer is a friend build it for me! Thanks alot Alex
Yeah Lecsiy: You have to touch something to ground yourself so you will not damage your most precious components such as motherboard,cpu, harddrive, memory. Best way to ground yourself is to install psu first but don't screw into case yet, plug in ac and then touch the side of that. Also get some anti static wrist bands. You on the right board to build a computer. I have been reading and gathering information on building a pc for over a year but just 6 weeks ago I built my first one. Not one problem except for the wndows installation-but that was because I didn't want to purchase a new disk. My computer isn't fancy but I do love everything i have and my computer is the shit especially at night(with all the lights). I have a Biostar t-force 6100-939 mATX and it helps keep the overall ATX case cool. The mid tower ATX case has 4 outlets to exhaust out heat and I have three case fans so every time I touch the back of my case-cold air is always coming out. I have 2gb of memory with red heatsinks. 250gb SATA 8mb SATA Western Digital. 2 NEC ND 3550a dual layer drives. No graphic card other than the onboard graphics. I have a 5.1 surround sound speakers and believe or not I have a wireless KB and mouse that I bought from Walmart.com for 14.99 and it works fine. Wouldn't be great for gaming but great for day to day Software tasks.
