What do you think

[lancer9038]

I have read loads of posts and must admit i think i got a bit of the "upgrade bug"

 

So on Tuesday ordered a Asus P5Q Pro and coolermaster chassis both arrived wednesday, picked up a Nvidia 260 on way home and spent about 5 hours putting mobo in chassis and taking bluray hard drive and anything else i could find out of Acer system and transferring over. I put 9800GT in my sons desktop and then switched my all new system on! Oh dear nothing happened! sat down had a cup of tea read the handbook again and realised i had put a 4 pin powelead in to mobo instead of 8 pin. Started it up again and everything works.

 

This may sound daft but i actually feel as though i have achieved something, anyway i have a very small issue which someone may be able to help me out on, i transferred a 3.5 card reader from my old system and it has 2 leads 1 to usb connection and the other to a 1394 socket. I can only dind 1 x 1394 socket on the mobo and as this is used by the stuff on the top of the computer i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how i can connect this lead.

tootech you are so right ordered a fan controller today - where does it all end?

It sometimes never does end, you gain more and more knowledge, try more and more combinations, then start advising others how to do the same, and finish up as a moderator on here, no it never does end.:D :D

I love it.

need to stop this now,wife is starting to moan I tried overclocking got to 3.0 ghz. got 8 fans running (not on full) in case and temps seem to be around low 30s on idle and mid 40s on full load got 2 x scythe 4 fan controllers working all fans. Installed a larger hard drive and both drives seem to level out at 30 degrees. Seems i can run vista 64 bit and only have 32 installed so from what i have read on here i can contact microsoft who will send a disc and just want postage charges, keep the good work going you guys and i will keep looking at what info i can pick up from you guru's. any problems i have had i have just read previous posts and i have found all the answers
