Hi all, I've been given a modular PSU that has a cable missing. Namely the 4 pin ATX +12 volt power cable - the one which plugs in next to the CPU. I've not been able to find a replacement (all I can find are extension cables). If I make …

Hey all, This is a bit of a theoretical question. If my PSU puts out x amount and I wanted to fit a GFX card which would take more power than the system uses in total would it help if I disabled an unused piece of hardware? ie. If I …

Hi all, Another OwenBear question about older technology. I've just been given a Gigabyte GA-K8vt800 socket 754 motherboard with loads of bits. Seeing as this is better (I hope) than my P4 1.7 (socket 478) current set-up I'd like to try and optimize all the parts I've got. So - …

Hi, I've recently been given a load of parts and some of the RAM sticks included have heatsinks on them. I'm talking about flat, aluminium shields, in to parts which encase virtually the whole stick (not the 'spiky' individual chip cooling type). So anyway, I have several spare of these …

Hi all, I guess this is a pretty basic question about an old motherboard but anyway... The motherboard is a P4i65G. What I'd like to know is about POST info. Should I see a BIOS screen if a motherboard is OK? Or do I need to hit the DEL button? …

Sorry if I'm askng an old question but.... Which would be the best/fastest processor? A P4 1.7ghz or a Celeron 2.3ghz? I know they both fit the 478 socket but thats about it. I'd like to get the fastest one installed to help my young daughter with her school work. …
