Basic Guide Purchase a New System

[monkey]

Most of the retailers have pulled off H67/P67 Mobos from the shelf. I couldn't find them on some online sites (both Indian and International) which were otherwise listed just few days back. I think its better to avoid these MoBo for the time being.

Theres nothing wrong with the processors,the problem is with the chipset,that to with the sata chipset.
as the time goes by the sata ships performance diminishes with time and at the later stage it just goes dead.
if u are already having p67 and h67 chipset u can do following to save some time on the motherboard till the replacements arrive....as the replacements will not come untill april~may (2~3 months).
u can do following things to prevent save sata burnups:
1. CONNECT UR MOSTLY USED DEVICES SUCH AS HARD DRIVE TO SATA 6GBPS PORTS AS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THEM.
2.CONNECT UR MOSTLY USED DEVICES SUCH AS HARD DRIVE TO THIRD PARTY SATA 3GBPS PORTS AS THEY ARE THIRD PARTY CHIPSET.(although some motherboard dont have third party sata chipset.)
3.CONNECT UR RARELY USED DEVICES SUCH AS DVD-DRIVE TO SATA 3GBPS PORTS AS IT WILL NOT CREATE A PROBLEM AS THEY ARE RARELY USED AS COMPARED TO HARD DRIVES.IF U USE FREQUENTLY THEN CONNECT IT TO ABOVE MENTIONED PORTS IN 1. & 2.
(DO STRICLY REFER TO MOTHERBOARDS USER MANUAL BEFORE APPLYING CHANGES)
(And sorry for my bold letters,its essential for some people to understand whats written and keep that in mind when doing the changes)
This is just the remedy if u have already purchased the p67 or h67 chipset,if u have not purchased and plan to do so my opinion is to wait till the issue gets sorted out.
Thank You.

Transcend 1 GB DDR-II 667 is Rs. 1900/- + TAX, so we buy 2 x 1 GB Modules for Rs. 3800 + TAX

^^ Man ! you were robbed.

a 800Mhz DDR2 2GB module from Transcend/Kingston is priced at Rs. ~1.7k - so thers' no way a 667Mhz DDr2 1GB could be that much costlier.

Guys check out the new bragpc setup

url: www.bragpc.com

they give demo on it in primeabgb

 

[asingh]

^^
They not mentioned the PSU make, even if customizing.

 

[vickybat]

^^ Should be of a good make. Prime deals with all the good brands like corsair, seasonic, antec etc, so they must be fitting those.

Its really a good step forward. In india, its very good to have such options like we they have in the west like "falcon" and so on.

I have seen the demo & the Cabby were looking like alienware.

& they have all types of setups from HTPC to Mid-End to High End.

they have a HTPC (mini cabby) with HD5XXX installed (dnt remeber the exact models)

and other setups were havinfg GTX5XX & HD6XXX cards.....

 

[vickybat]

^^ If i am not wrong, they are also giving the NZXT Phantom in one of their gaming rigs.

There should be more options in gpu's like gtx 570, 6970 and 6950.

They are advertising on CHIP magazine in the price update section, so they are real, but no idea about trustworthiness or about whether they are parallel importers or not.

actually he wants ecs mobo and its available only with them. He wanted to know whether they are reliable.
Ecs one because he is on budget but he will crossfire his 6870 later. He has already got a 1090t. Waiting for a mobo.
His previous giga had sata prob due to long 6870.
