my resolutions is at 1600x1080 (or around that figure) which is my primary display, but i'm also running another monitor, which i run things like, core temp, and resource monitor on. the amd supposedly runs at 95W (94.8 ,maxTDP according to core temp, and 93 according to CPU Z) but HW monitor...

is it normal for the witcher 2 to be running at around 10 fps during the scene where your surroundings are on fire, and at around 25fps during a calm scene, whilst using a gtx 460? the recommended card was a gtx 260, so i can't see why the gpu usage was at 100% (using evga precision). could...

haha yeah, i read through that post earlier to find a new psu, but the psu i just mentioned is the one i currently have (it came with my pc). i'm taking it will damage my components then?

Ah, i see. will this Storm Black Edition STORM-600W 600W Power Supply (PSU) - Scan.co.uk be considered bad enough PSU to damage my components? or is it not possible to tell just by look at it?

If the current on the 12V rail is too small, what will happen to the components in a computer? will the PSU just crash? if so, is it possible to use the components again or will i have to replace everything?

oh i see,thatnks for the heads up. what will happen if i were to replace my cpu now? will the PSU just blow or will it damage any of my parts? i'm not sure of the models just yet, i'mnot at the PC at the moment, but i've got a 500GB HDD, one DVD drive, one fan on the case, about 4 LEDs and a...

I am currently running an AMD Athlon 7850 Dual Core, and am about to buy an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T. Is there a large gap in power consumption? i've got a storm 600W PSU (not sure of the model number yet). I've also got a GTX460 running on a GA M720-US3 So the question is, will i have power...

ah that helps a lot ,thanks :) about the higher model number, at around what number would Athlon be the same speed as a Phenom? And what's the difference between a standard and a black edition?

Sounds like you didn't connect your graphics card correctly into the motherboard. Is it firmly in the pci-e slot and did you plug both PCI-E power dongles (6 pin) in?

Question in the title: Can a good AMD CPU be easily identified by the name and what's on the box? I'm planning to buy a new CPU (AM3, not AM3+) and am going around several shops to look for some, but I would have to hate looking up the benchmarks for every new model i come across. something...

Oh, i read that wrong. something is not right with me today. thanks for the help :)

ah,thanks a lot. i tried posting a picture of what i was talking about but messages with links are moderated :( i don't know what the technical names are but it's 2 female 4pins (i'm guessing it's a molex?) and one male 6 pin. If only one needs to be connected, what's the point in having the...

sorry, i thought there was only one. http://gmstore.project.creativearm.com/images/4pinto6pin.jpg i don't know the technical names for it but it's for a new graphics card.

Do I need to connect up both 4 pin adapters or only one? And does it matter which?

the resolution i'm running now is 1440x900 and the motherboard (i think?) is Gigabyte M720-US3 The processor, to be exact, is AMD Athlon 7850 Dual-core ~2.8ghz i'm just praying to god here that this can support the intel i5 in the future and the gtx460. as long as it's above the magic 30 fps...
