it is a monster rig. I'm more than satisfied with current system. Planning to keep this one for long time to come. Might crossfire with another HD5770 and add one 24" LCD later this year.
today I played GTA-IV for 4 hours. It's an awesome experience than my previous HD4850...
Ok, my guess your PSU is going boom not only for power hungry processor, but also you've 3 hard discs and SLI configuration. So I guess, that's the reason it's giving you troubles.
Yesterday, I read in other topic that APC does have 1KV UPS that costs around 4.5-4.7k. Look for that.
While I'm unable to suggest you anything, but couldn't resist myself to issue a comment on your problem.
I''ve Corsair TX750W with APC 500VA UPS. It's currently running on 3rd battery and never needed any workshop visit apart from battery change purpose. :-) My UPS still gives at least 3/3.5...
Just finished "Metro 2033" - awesome game.

re: "To Be Released" Games discussion....
At this moment, I am waiting for "Football Manager 2011" announcement. In future The Witcher 2 will be my next game.

1. Football Manager 2010 - Manager of Arsenal FC, leading the EPL by few points against Chelsea/ManU & Liverfool.
2. Spellforce Platinum: 6th campaign of First game - chasing Rohen to save his life and currently on Wildlands Pass Island.
I was in same situation like you in June 2009. I went to every big dealers for Dell, Lenovo, HP and Acer.
Only Acer and Dell provided option to buy a laptop without OS. Dell machine was having FreeDOS, Acer had Linpus Linux. I had two choices at that time, Acer 4736 and Dell inspiron 15. Both...
Thanks Sam.
If I stick to E8400 now, I'll have to buy only a good P35/45 mobo.
If I switch to AMD, then I've to buy PCU + mobo (minus money from E8400 sale).
Anyway, I have few weeks on my hand, because my PC is still working fine if I use it extensively not more than 5/6 hours stretch while...
I'll go for P45 mobo but this time I'll stick to Gigabyte. Along with I'll buy CM Hyper 212 to do some over clocking.
Can you give some suggestions regarding Gigabyte P45 mobo?
This is the way I'll be going.
Now, is suggested G41 motherboard enough? or should I really go for P43/45 motherboard? I do have PCIex 2.0 graphics card.
I'll buying CM Hyper 212 cooler, how much I can safely OC the e8400? 3.5 GHz?
thanks for your suggestion.
I was bit confused after getting plenty of options in various posts. I had to rethink my own view too!
So, just a new G41 motherboard will be suffice to stay with my current platform and enjoy decent gaming. I think I'd rather add a better cooler and overclock...
Hi Cilus,
I don't follow hardware techs so closely, you may be right.
But here's my point of view.
If I get Gigabyte/Biostar & X6 1055t combo, my current setup will look like somewhat this:
An AM2+ motherboard with two free slots to add more RAM.
Phenom II X6 CPU.
An HD4850 card.
So for...
