Ok so i need some professional advice. So I am looking for a new PSU and after looking around, the ones with Japan Capacitors are superior sooo the ones that are at Microcenter are the Thermaltake TR2's the EVGA SuperNova or if there are any good Antecs or if there is something other then the Corsair CX builder series on sale

any of them good? I know that the Evga's get good reviews thermaltake is mixed Corsair is good if its not the CX

I have a Cosair 750TX and I have no complaints other than I should have gone modular. I know EVGA has a lifetime warranty on their video cards, maybe they do on their PSUs also.

I have some more questions. but first, I ended up going with the EVGA supernova NEX750B psu and i got a nice 8gb ram kit

now to the questions.. I have got 2 case fans, pretty nice case fans I do say so myself. Corsair AF120 Quiet edition. They are just so I can get some air into the case and I cannot hear it over the Diablotek fans LOL anyways those corsair fans come with the 3 pin connectors so I am wondering what would be the best way to run 2 fans with one mobo connector?

Would a fan Y splitter do? Would I lose performance on the fans? Would it spin at the 1,100rpm speed they were set at with 2 fans on a splitter?

If I go with a Molex to the 3/4 pin deal would the fans spin at the full 1,100rpm?

or should I get a fan controller?

Second question. What would be a good AM3+ cpu cooler? I would love to start overclocking and playing some resource intensive games :3 and what would be the cost difference between water/liquid cooled over air cooling?
[Off-topic] cyanogendroid:
Depends on what you are going to be doing. If gaming, then AMD will be better $ per performance, and you will be able to spend leftover money on something else. If you are doing video editing/rendering then go for the Intel.

Well I tried to do that via command prompt but it said that the drive is in use so scedule it for next restart of system and I typed the yes option. When I restarted and it got to the point of chkdisk utllity it said cannot open for direct access use system restore to restore from a prior to a recent software installionation. I go to system restore but it says that C drive has file system corruption errors and says to Chdsk utility(which I cant) what the hell should i do?

Of course, I've used a dual monitor setup before, so I'm mostly looking for people who work with ultrawide monitors and their opinions on them.

Thanks in advance!

Here's the monitor I was thinking of buying: link.
[Off-topic] roofrider:
212 Evo does well, but it has it's limits. You sure could get the Evo and same some money if you wish.

Other high-end options would be:

Phantek TC14PE

Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme

Silver Arrow SB-E

Noctua NH-D14

DarkRock 2

Silverstone HE01

Alpenföhn K2 / Deepcool Assassin

..and more..

Note: Some of the coolers are really big and wide, so you have to make sure your RAM will fit under it. Go for the one which looks best to you and fits your budget and case.

[Off-topic] roofrider:
Good. That's one less thing to worry about. The widest from that list is SA SB-E Extreme i think, so depending on your mobo it might or might not interfere with the 1st PCIe slot. Next is the height, most of these coolers are pretty tall so compare the specs of both your case and cooler (with fans, you'll find everything on Google, OCN, etc..).

-edit-

@ Ironman, have not encountered those errors personally, so can't help there. Wait for someone else, or Google.

Installing good ol' Windows XP on a new ****ty overheating laptop

So, everyone

My laptop is annoying me to death because every single time i boot Windows, be it 7 or 8, i can't stay more than 30 mins without getting to Tmax and the laptop turning off. I'm currently developing a game in XNA GS 4.0 so i need Windows for the game to be done...

Question is, can i install Windows XP on my Acer V3-571G laptop with the following specs:

-Chipset Intel HM77

-Intel i5-3210M 2.5Ghz, Turbo Boost @3.1Ghz

-nVidia GT630M 2GB GDDR3 128-bit (Fermi GF108)

-Intel HD4000

-Atheros AR5BWB222 wireless a/g/n (i actually NEED this as Ethernet is already used by an old Linux PC)

-4GB RAM DDR3

-500GB HDD (must set it to Legacy mode for XP setup to boot)

-it's either Realtek HDA or Dolby Home Theater audio

-15.6" HD screen

[Off-topic] PuffMaN:
No ur not. The system is too new for xp. Great chanse the hdd controller is not recognized by the WinXP setup cd. Result: a bluescreen before you even start installing.

Solution? Possible. Download n-lite from, erm, websites I am not allowed to discuss here... U know.. Look what the hardware name is from the hdd controller, search for xp drivers. With n-lite you can implement drivers into the WinXP install cd. Insert the hdd drivers, and install what you want. You also can tweak the xp, before it is installed, make a fully automated installation, ... Its a cool piece of software for xp.

Hey guys, I was trying to install Xubuntu on a friends PC the other day. He had Windows 7 Home Premium and some how messed it up and wouldn't boot.He told me, and honestly I didn't know to fix it so I trued to install Xubuntu because he told me he urgently needed his PC to work on. So I did, but in the process I did something really stupid. While setting up the partitions I accidently deleted the partitions that had all the Windows 7 files including all of the recovery. So now I can't do much since the PC now runs Xubuntu standalone. But my question is, does anyone know where or how can I get the Windows 7 iso file. I believe I can use the product key at the bottom of the laptop to activate Windows 7 if use the iso as a bootable disc. Please anyone help????....

I have a Toshiba P745-S4320. It currently has a Intel Centrino 6250 wifi adapter in it. I would like to upgrade to a dual band. I would also like to go to an AC/b/g/n adapter as the rest of my network supports it. How do I find out if my laptop has its bios whitelisted? The official toshiba forums don't have much info that I could find.

In my google search seems some people have had luck getting AC adapters to work but most had issues for whatever reason.

any help would be great.. thanks.

'm just wondering what will work in my application, I'm gonna stay intel. I was looking at this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

but would like the AC of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I know the antenna's in the laptop need to be able to support 5ghz. but do they also need to do AC or can any antenna do that?

Also I'm worried about the bios being white-listed and only allowing certain parts.. I don't know how to find that out or not.

I need to change my Linux install when I get my lappy back.

Current setup:

128gb SSD:

win 7 os 80gb (NTFS /dev/sda1)

Mint16 os 47gb (ext4 /dev/sda2)

500 HDD:

win 7 data 250gb (NTFS /dev/sdb1)

Mint16 data 250gb (ext4 /dev/sdb2)

Linux swap 4gb SSD

So basically my OS'es are installed on the SSD and I use the HDD to build on my mint partition.

I want to keep it like that but with a different Linux OS.

Arch, manjaro, or xubuntu are distros I've been looking at.

Opinions?
[Off-topic] replica9000:
Are you looking to keep Mint or not? 47gb is a lot of space for Linux. You could divide that in half, and install another distro in the new space.
[Off-topic] Babydollll:
Well I was originally thinking no because I use ccache and I have it capped at 20gb cuz I only have 47gb... but maybe a small mint partition wouldn't be a bad thing.

Although with needing ccache to build I'm not sure I'd have enough space.

(ccache is a must... On 4.4 my build times increased to an hour or so... From 35-40 min on 4.3)
