The Official PC building thread -3rd Edition

Not necessarily, they may own that, but companies like Dreamworks and Pixar still render their movies on Xeon or Opteron systems.

 

hi people just here to post thease pic of my bulid like said i would, and 1 thing is where do i take a blownn PSU back cosair or where i bought i from.








EDIT:Images

 

navskin

well that depends on how long you had it. if not to long you should be able to send it back to the company that you brought it from. if not then my best guess would be cosair.

 

i had the PSU for about 3 Mouths now.

 

navskin

where did you buy it?

 

I got it from Aria.

 

@ navskin,

navskin

well take a look at Aria return policy to see if you are passed it and if i would connact them and then go from there. however if you are passed there return policy then you will have to through cosair for it.

 

first yeah in the UK is always handled by the retailer, and Sale of Goods Act can be used aswell

btw speaking of new builds:











booted into 3.4GHz stright away as my E2140 was on 400 FSB

temps:

CPU: 10C
Core0:27
Core1:31
Core2:40
Core3:41

my fave shot:

 

navskin,

Call who you bought it from, I'm pretty sure they will exchange it for you. tell them that since it's brand new that you expect them to pay the shipping both ways. It can't hurt! LOL!! After all it's not your fault they sent a defective product and you shouldn't have to pay extra for it!

Best Regards,

spamual..WOW how'd U get a photo of my desk

 

you have the same desk

btw that is a 24" screen being dwarfed by my sexy lian-li pc-a70b

 

Well Folks,
It turns out that my E6750 has bit the dust! All of a sudden when I would try to open any file I got File Corruption Error messages. Plunked a Brand New, never used D-940 in it and all works well again. It would still Freeze and lock up, but no error messages. No temperature or voltage problems and it did the same thing with 3 different sets of memory. All passed Memtest86 and Installed XP-Pro SP-2 without the .dll errors I was getting with the E6750. No Hassle with the RMA at all. Last time they wanted everything but my shoe size! This time they didn't even ask for a copy of the invoice! A week or so and I'll have another Brand New E6750 and be totally back in business again. Glad I didn't sell the d-940 now. It makes a good backup! LOL!!

are thease temp normal for my rig see sig for rig.

Motherbooard: 33c
CPU:31c
Core 1: 19c
Core 2: 16c
GPU: 60c (8800gts)

 

navskin,
Depending on the room temperature, your temps look good to me!

Russ

 

spamual,
Nice pix there buddy. Bet you're having some fun with that new rig.

navskin,
What progie are you using for your temps? Is it Asus Probe? I like that one for the ASUS mobos. The reason that I ask is your cores seem a little off compared to the cpu temp but NO big deal really. Nice build btw. And yes contacting the retailer at this point is the thing to do.

....gm

 

@spamual: what type of cooling do you have in your new system?

 

greensman,

Be careful there! It does not work for all Asus motherboards. No Big! It only comes with MBs that support it! You just get a message that the MB doesn't support it. Just thought you would like to know that!

Best Regards,
Russ

 

That's very unusual, I think that's the first case of a faulty Corsair PSU I've read about on afterdawn.

Spam: Congrats on the new build, but that front fan controller is hideous.

Russ: Did you downclock it?
