allo guys
i hv one Q here..
i found something like a plug for connecting ide slot with sata slot juz now..
can anybody explain the benefit to use d connector for our pata hard disk??
found it at aoneplus digital mall with p.tag RM60

thx in advance

sata is indeed faster IMO.

but IF ure uusing PATA HDD with SATA converter to connect to SATA plug. i think the speed will be reduced to pATA speed only, no?

the benefit is u still can use ur pata HDD to connect to SATA motherboard without need to buy new SATA HDD. well, im not sure though. expert here can prove im wrong anyway

hmm ya.. i think it still be slower if using the PATA HDD compare to the 'real' sata...

Hye guyz...just wanna ask you about xeon processor...

how much difference in terms of performance in 3d rendering between Intel Xeon 3210 and quad core q6600...xeon price is rm60 cheaper..but i dont know which mobo will suit xeon..of course server motherboard..but where to find..

thanks

How to i check whether do i have enuf power for it?

full specs pls

well in my case. i hav HD3850 and the requirement said it needs at least 450W PSU so that the card can run properly. since i just hav 300W PSU i keep it in the box ATM

check at ur PSU there how many watt it produce. and check ur GC how many watt it needed to power it up.

nah, it just my opinion. maybe expert here got other solution

normally the PSU that comes with the casing cant support descent rig for long time, even it can power up, the PSU might hv premature dead...

i think cannot, but did u see clearly?? it can support up to 667/800 or it ONLY support 667 and 800??

not noticeable for me lar, unless ur ear r very sensitive else u need some instrument to test it i think.....

but the pricelist there write ST506F so i just follow

it is very hard to kill a RAM, sommore u gt the fan for the RAM.....

better connect, it will do no harm to ur PSU.....

no matter wat u use the bottleneck will also be there, either ur RAM, processor, graphic card or HDD, but E4500 and 3GB pair with HD3850 i already very good enough, so dont worry.....

some older PC does not support SATA so they need a SATA > IDE converter installed in order to use the new SATA HDD, coz it is hard to find new IDE HDD....

i have Q oso here....about sata cable....is there any product for sata cable but the color is glow or bling2 one.....get bored of looking red color only...

can my mobo Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3 rev 1.0 use the 8pin power from the psu without using the 8pin to 4 pin converter? i know my mobo only have 4pin socket..
did the capacitor beside the socket (left side) block it??
im not sure which direction the 8pin socket will take place..
help me please..

if me i will definately go buy converter. as i think u dunno the which wire connect to which.

LOL

just my piece of advice from me (total noob) better spend a lil bit more on converter i guess. or maybe any expert here can point out something?

Hi
Want to ask, Maxtor HardDisk Can Send repair to USJ service center?
What we need before sending to them?

my SATA cable is orange u can paint it urself or buy the UV paint which will glow when it hv contact with UV light

i though all the PSU r come with the 4 pin socket?? if dont hv also nvm i think as long as u dont oc and ur motherboard works fine..

i want to ask a super noob question here.. im going to buy a sata HDD but i saw that most of the sata are using the new 5 pins power cable(not really sure how many pins) but not the old 4 pins which we usually use.. and the problem is my power supply dont have the new 5 pins power cable for the HDD.. so is it the new sata HDD still can connect the old 4 pins cable? tell me if im wrong in something as i never use sata HDD before...

eh, sata hdds usually still have the ide power supply port (the old 4 pin u mentioned) along with the sata power supply port (5 pin) as far as i know.

just make sure u only connect either 1 of them, leaving both connected to power supply, will make your hdd go to heaven due to oversupply of power

SATA hv the 4pin molex that convert to SATA power supply socket, u'll know wat to do when u hv the powr supply cable for ur SATA

thanks alot for your help guys... im going to buy the HDD later.. i will ask for help if i face any trouble..
