Let's talk motherboard and CPU in simple English please-

I am a home enthusiast/student (signed up with a popular web site) that loves all things Adobe. I have the Master Suite. I love Premiere Pro (can’t wait to learn After Effects). I have a consumer-grade AVCHD video camera from a ‘big box store’.
I don’t care about having a gaming rig or overclocking, or learning about RAID, or a huge/heavy computer case in my tiny office. So the minimum number of drives will work.
I have been watching Newegg TV and the ASUS guy nearly put me in a coma with all the acronyms.
I want a ‘middle of the road’ rig.
Can someone enlighten me on the following:
Sandy Bridge vs. Ivy Bridge?
LGA 1155 vs. LGA 2011?
What does this mean: “Onboard Video Chipset: Supported only by CPU with integrated graphic”? This is a common note on the motherboard description on the website.
SSD caching?
Thanks.

>I want a ‘middle of the road’ rig
What does that mean in dollars?
Check current prices, but last month this was under $1,500 (excluding software)

[SOLVED]-Upgraded motherboard and CPU-UUID error?

I upgraded (replaced) my motherboard and CPU-from a dual core to a 3 core AMD. Still on AM2 socket with DDR2 memory.
Arch-Fallback boots fine. But my normal Arch will not get to drive checks and boot. The errors allude to Arch wanting to change drive UUIDs but failing. It ends with a command ramfs$ prompt-but keyboard input does not work at it...even though keyboard in BIOS works fine
Any theories how to get the regular Arch to boot? This bug is the only real problem with the process-I haven't done anything else to prepare or finish the upgrade. And as I said Arch-Fallback boots and works beautifully.
Errors say:
Loading filesystem module
Attempting to create device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/blah blah blah'
ERROR; Failed to parse block device name for '/dev/disk/by-uuid/blah blah blah'
ERROR: root fs cannot be detected
happens 3 times for each of patitions mounted on system at boot. The root UUID I know exists, as it is in GRUB to load Arch to begin with.

Move Windows 8.1 Pro Hard Drive, Graphics Card and Programs to New Motherboard and CPU

Want to move everything, hard drive, installed programs, video card, network adapter, ram drive, DVD, from one computer to another, nothing will change except motherboard and CPU. Old motherboard and CPU will be installed in a new computer case which
will revert back to a Windows 7 Pro computer with a fresh install and no programs to be used as a dedicated CAD work station. Motherboard and CPU swap will be the only change, even the RAM will be the same. What activation problems will I encounter,
I do not want to re-install anything, if possible.

Hi,
I would like to confirm what kind of licensing you used on Windows 8.1, the OEM or the retailed.
For the OEM one, the Windows 8.1 transferred to another new Motherboard will not be activated.
For the retailed one, you should find that the system will boot with the new motherboard, install some drivers then boot successfully.
You will need to use telephone activation for the updated system, but should not need to re-install. When warned that you need to activate, select the "Contact Microsoft Customer Support" option and follow the instructions. With a tone dial phone
you can do this without speaking to anyone. See http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/24636-activate-windows-8-phone.html

What ever happened to plug and play, or simple english to explain the tech stuff.

What ever happened to plug and play, or simple english to explain the tech stuff.

plug and play. well that is a windows term.. Apple decided they didn't need uPnP on the Time Capsule because that is just so windows.. so they use there own system.. called NAT-PMP.. (port mapping protocol). Just to make sure that things like playstation, xbox, etc could not open ports properly. And windows machines of course should be excluded from playing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT_Port_Mapping_Protocol
"simple english".. unfortunately networking requires the use of a fair number of terms people are just unfamiliar with.
The big lie was computers and networking are easy. Computers in isolation might be fine.. but as soon as you link things in networks.. it gets much harder.. and people who do study for a couple of years just to diploma level in networking haven't done it because they are dumb and could have read the simple english manual overnight. But because it is complex.
I try and explain it this way.. if your washing machine goes bung, do you start pulling it to pieces and trying to find the fault.. or do you call the washing machine repairman.. who has trained to fix washing machines.
If your computer or networking goes bad.. then "who are you going to call?" The manufacturer and complain about how hard it is to setup a $100 piece of equipment and expect them to give two hours of hand holding for free on the phone. People would never call a computer support technician.. no this is easy.. it is in simple english somewhere.. and you only need to spend an hour and all will be fine. Even though you have as much training in networking as in washing machine repairs. Would you call the washing machine manufacturer and expect 2 hours of free phone support for you to strip down their washing machine.. after all it cost 6x times what the router cost?? Or has some strange lie grabbed hold of you that this is simple.

770-C45 Motherboard and CPU question

I have referred to the CPU compatibility chart for this motherboard and my question is in regards to the AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU. I see other 965 CPU's listed as compatible. I realize that this CPU is 140 watts. Is this a problem. Could someone please clarify this for me.
Thanks for your time

thanks for the assistance, I have decided to go with a 955 instead of a 965.
I also read the Memory sticky and it said to look for AMD tested RAM. I am using tigerdirect.ca and dont see any RAM that says it has been specifically made for an AMD. Currently I am looking at Kingston PC10600 1333MHz 4GB DDR3 (KVR1333D3K2/4GR). I only plan to use 2 as per the guide. Any suggestions.
Thanks for clearing up my earlier question.

Get NI RMC 8355 motherboard and CPU serial number programmatically

Hi all,
I need to read the motherboard or CPU serial numbers of the NI RMC 8355 programmatically.
I have tried to use "wmic baseboard get serialnumber" comand in cmd, but it returns "0123456789", which apparently is not a valid serial number.
Does anyone have any idea how I can read that information?
Is there any toolkit or LabVIEW VI which will do that job.
Thanks in advance.

Gevorg,
This is a Windows property that you can access the same way you would with a desktop PC, using the 'wmic baseboard get serialnumber' command.

Problem with motherboard and cpu cooler

First of all , hello.
Let me present my current pc.
Mainboard - MSI 880GM-E41
CPu - Amd phenom x2 560 black - unlocked to quad
Ram - 4 gb kingmax DDR 3
Video - Gainward GTS 450 512 DDR 5
Hdd - Western Digital 640 GB
Power suply - Sirtech 400 W
Now the problem.I bought a Scythe Katana 3 cooler because i couldnt stand the noise from AMD stock cooler anymore.
The cooler RPM in idle/load / full load is 2800 RPM (maximum !) Shoudnt the mainboard set the cooler's rotation to match the processor current usage ? My cooler stand in maximum rotations every single time.
Note that my temperatures are excelent.
I took a look in Bios and could find much.
H/W Monitor
Cooler - 4 pins selected
Smart fan target - disabled selected.Guess this is the automatic option.I dont wanna set it to manual in order to give some values.
Amd cool and quiet - enabled (tried it with disabled too , same deal)
C1E support - enabled.
Would updating my bios to lasted available solve this problem ? I wanted to do that but i wonder if updating the bios would interfere with my unlock of the processor's cores.
Thanks you very much.

Yes , it is
I dont actualy have an "enabled" option....just disabled or some values.
I heard from a friend that :
Smart Fan Target - the critical temperature from which the fan starts to grow in rotations
Cpu Min.Fan Speed - the desired rotations per minute in idle
Is this correct ?
Im thinking about
First - 45
Second - dont know....i have to test with different values.

Can i take out the motherboard and CPU and replace it with a newer one?

I was wondering if i could take out the CPU and Motherboard of an early 2011 13" macbook pro with a 2.3GHz dual core i5, and replace it with a 2012 2.9GHz 13" dual core i7? I don't care about the costs but i just want to know if it's possible? I've upgraded my computer to the max so far, but i need some more processing power and i think the new ivy bridge processors will do me some good. Thanks for any replies

NOPE.
I'm about 99.9% sure it won't fit.
Plus the rest of the stuff won't plug or won't be compatible.

OK WHATS THE BEST MOTHERBOARD AND CPU FOR ONLINE GAMING

Here i go again thinking about stepping up on motherboaerds and cpus! If you have an opinion on which would make the best online gaming setup let me here you hollor! I will only go with intel so all amd lovers dont bother!

He's better off with a Q6600 over the E6850, because you can clock the Q6600 to QX6850 speeds and it's quad core, so future proof anyway.
And the Q6600 costs less.
However the CPU will be very limited by that 7900GT.
A 8800GTX or HD2900XT would be a better choice.
EDIT: Get a G0 stepping Q6600, they have a lower TDP of 95w and require less voltage.

Extensive IO and CPU for simple queries

Hi,
I have a machine using oracle 9.2.0 and solaris 10.
For every simple queries, it very big IO and a lot of CPU. This is only happend on one particular machine(We have same version db and soalris on other mahcine and it works fine).
One example queris is when I use Enterprise Manager to get the "configuration" information of the instance,it use 50% IO. I get the trace file and tkprof as following:
SELECT UNIQUE sp.name, sp.sid, DECODE(p.type, 1, 'Boolean', 2, 'String', 3,'Integer', 4, 'Filename', ' '), sp.value, p.issys_modifiable, p.description FROM v$spparameter sp, v$parameter p WHERE sp.name = p.name ORDER BY sp.name,sp.sid

1379 FIXED TABLE FULL X$KSPPI (cr=0 pr=0 pw=0 time=7001 us)
It seems Oracle FTS the X$KSPPCV and X$KSPPI.
Can anybody give me some suggestion to improve the performance?
thanks.

Is there a difference in the query plans on the two machines?
Did you analyze the SYS and SYSTEM schemas on one system and not the other?
Are there different initialization parameters on the two machines?
What do you mean by "it use 50% IO"? I'm not sure what that means and I'm not sure how you're measuring that.

HP Motherboards and CPU compatibility

I've been reading around and would like to know, do I have only the upgrade options specified for my CPU, or can I use any FM2 socket CPU?
Also, is it true that I need to update my BIOS if I want to use the EVGA GTX 750Ti Superclocked Edition?

Replacing motherboard and CPU on an Aspire 5560

It would seem the CMOS or something else on my 5560 got corrupted permanently. I see some affordable MB + CPU replacement parts. I am comfortable with replacing the MB. Not sure about the CPU (does one need a special tool to lift the chip out of the socket?). I do have thermal paste to apply on the replacement. What CPU can I upgrade with, if there is any advantage to doing so (i.e., is the system limited elsewhere such as clock spped, RAM). The OEM CPU is an AMD A6-3420M.
