  • ATX vz µATX Power supply form factor.

    There are two types of power supply (socket??) available in the market nowadays. They are ATX and µATX.
    - How are they differing from each other?
    - Are they interchangeable each other?
    Say I have MSI785GM-E51 mother board which has ATX form factor while the power supply is µATX, can I use them both/powered the M3A785GM-LE/128M with those ATX power supply?
    Or can I convert the µATX to be ATX form factor?

     The motherboard mentioned is mATX not ATX 785GM E51. M=mATX (µATX). It's made to fit the smaller cases but can also be used in the larger mid-tower & full tower cases if that's what you have.
     µATX PSU has a different size case and mounting dimensions to fit the small mini tower PC cases and also the smaller HTPC cases. Power connections are pretty much the same between the 2 but mATX generally don't have as many power plugs for HDD & ODD.
     Due to physical dimensions and different mounting they are not interchangeable.
     There are many variables involved in selecting a PSU beginning with what type the PC case itself requires. If you need suggestions on what to get we need to know what CPU, on-board or dedicated graphics you will use, how many HDD's.

  • What motherboard form factor does the power mac g5 use?

    I have an old power mac g5 case which I'd like to re purpose into my new editing pc, and I am wondering if it uses a proprietary form factor motherboard, or a standard form factor motherboard like atx, micro atx, or mini itx to know if I'd have to do some case modding or not, thanks for all replies, and I know I will need to mod the cables within the case like the power button, so no need to make note of that!  Also, I know it would take less effort just to get another case, but I'd like to work on this case.

  • P7N Form Factor Issue/Question

      I purchased a P7N Diamond motherboard to replace some old hardware which had stopped working.  I believed my board (P7N Diamond) was ATX form factor as the user guide specifications and retailer listed it as such; and I knew my old board was ATX.  However when placing my graphics card (EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX) on the board I couldn't line up the case opening and the board's PCI Express slot so that my card would fit into the board.  The back opening appeared to be about 1 mm too close to the board and 3-5 mm out of alignment in the other direction of the plane.  I went to a local computer supply store and a salesman tried my board in a new case (same manufacturer) and it was out of alignment as well.
      I am thusly left wondering is there a new/different ATX form factor for PCI express motherboards, my case is 6 years old (has there been a change in standard case dimensions and the brand hasn't transitioned), or is there a known manufacturing defect which this resembles?
      Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.  As I said before, it seems like an incompatability with the case and board form factor; but it wasn't limited to just my case.  But such a defect seems hard to slip by a QA test.

  • K450E Motherboard form factor

    I have a question because I cannot for the life of me differentiate between the board types. What form factor is the motheboard in the K450E? 

    hi dgree049,
    I looked into the K450e spare parts and this unit uses a MicroATX motherboard.
      - Link to picture
    If you're looking to get a bigger cpu chassis to get good airflow and better expansion options then you may want to get a gaming case (like this item).

  • Dual monitors HP Z200 Small Form Factor Workstation

    I am waiting on my new Intel I-5 HP Z200 Small Form Factor Workstation running Windows 7.  What do I need to run two monitors?  I believe that there is an HDMI and a DVI video output on the rear - can I run two monitors off of these two outputs or do I need a video card?  If I buy a video card do I need one with two HDMI outputs (my preferred connection) or can I use the one on the motherboard and one on an add in card siumultaneously?

    Hi,
    For that card, with the right connectors and adaptors you can connect to TWO minitors ( Drive up to two 30-inch (2560x1600) digital displays through native dual DisplayPort connectors on a low-profile card.):
        http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvs-310-graphics-card.html#pdpContent=2
     Bau you can add an adapter such as:

  • Hp pro 3130 small form factor freezing

    Hey guys, I recently rolled out a HP Pro 3130 Small Form Factor PC to a client a month ago and they have been experiencing constant freezing. Basically the whole PC locks up and nothing can be done to revive it aside from a complete Power Cycle. As an IT Professional, I have done significant investigation and troubleshooting and have not been able to come to any conclusion. It appears to be completely random with no patterns (eg particular application or time) and happens several times a day. I have done the following: - checked event viewer for errors or warnings (none) - checked to see if a dump file is created (none) - run a CPU Stress test and monitoring the temperatures (max 70C) - run a RAM test (memtest) with no errors reported - run a HDD test (spinrite) with no errors reported - run a windows system file check (sfc) with 100% valid file integrity - downloaded and installed latest drivers - installed latest windows updates I feel I have exhausted all options short of either a complete OS reload (i would prefer not to do) or a warranty return. Any ideas?

    Hello RTerrell,
    If your computer is locking up and there are bands of lines going down the screen then something is failing hardware wise
    1. Memory
    2. Video Card
    3. Power Supply
    There could also be bulging capacitors on the boards.
    The best thing is to start ruling out hardware components by swapping in new ones. The power supply being the first easy one. Then try with one stick of RAM at a time, try replacing the RAM with other RAM. Finally replace the video card. If it's still failing after that then it may be the motherboard, but I'm hesitant to think that.

  • Dekstop DC7800p Small Form Factor system

    Hi,
    I've got a dc7800 Small Form Factor system. It was working fine but after a reboot it won't start up normally anymore. The black POST screen appears, RAM testing starts to count up and then I see and error about "system options not set". After less than a second, a blue window in the middle of the screen displays the message "smart card authentication" and below that, "smart card reader not present".
    From a bit of reading it seems like a BIOS problem but I can't figure out how to really reset the CMOS and get things working again. I've tried removing the CMOS jumper and booting the system, removing the power cord and CMOS battery for 10 minutes.
    Is there a way to do one of the following:
    - force the CMOS defaults to reset and remove the configuration that requires the smart card authentication?
    - force a BIOS recovery, with a key combination or by using a different jumper or jumpers on the motherboard?
    I see various other jumpers and pads on the motherboard like "ROM RCVRY" and the E15 Boot Block Recovery Header but scant information about how these might be used to solve the problem.
    It seems to me that the hardware is fine as it powers up and displays the POST screen. It's like a BIOS setting has been reset to require a smart card, even though there isn't one, nor even a smart card reader, in the system.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    After doing some research on the message, I came across this post.
    Apparently, your PC has a smart card optional system (maybe it was government surplus).
    http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Business-PCs-Compaq-Elite-Pro/DC7800-smart-card-athentication/m-p/10691...
    Now, if you can get into the BIOS menus, if you look at the top of page 8, you will see what you need to do in order to enable/disable the smart card reader message.
    http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01162201/c01162201.pdf
    Whatever the problem is, it is a security setting issue, and clearing the CMOS or updating the BIOS will not have any effect on that setting.
    Unfortunately, I have no experience with the security settings or protect tools software on HP business PC's.
    I have a dc7800 (and only use HP business desktops and notebooks), so I am very familiar with all the other aspects of the PC, but that one.
    You may want to post your issue on the HP business support forum, business PC section.  Hopefully someone there has experience with turning this feature on or off.

  • MS-6309 ATX VA5

    Can any one pls tell me what is the higher celeron processor my motherboard can support. my motherborad MS-6309 ATX VA5. VIA. VT82C694X chipset. Coppermine. ?(

    Your board will accept, without question, ANY Celeron that uses in EXCESS of 1.6V core voltage (no Tualitins).
    You can use a Powerleap adapter, if you wish more (http://www.powerleap.com) and there is a Tualitin mod on the net that would work too, but it is 'scary' and not for a novice.

  • Does anyone know of a mini sterio with surround sound and optical input in Mac Mini form factor?

    Does anyone know of a mini sterio with surround sound and optical input in Mac Mini form factor?
    I use a Mini as the family media center and would like to have 5.1 or 7.1 sound for films but don't want a huge piece of eletronic equipment (I have one of those, but it isn't hooked up because it doesn't fit on the bookshelf). Years ago I used a PC and still use the Creative Audigy speaker system (Jimmy rigged to the Mini) that I ran from the PC. The Audigy PCI sound card obviously doesn't work on the Mini, so I just have two chanel plus sub. That has been fine since I switched to the Mini in 2007, but am updating to a new Mini in the summer and would like to upgrade my sound as well.
    I also wouldn't be opposed to a USB soundcard that can drive the speakers. In fact, my wife would prefer smaller and less visible, ergo USB card hidden in the back.
    Suggestions?

    Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
    One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?

  • Surface Pro 3, Project Siena Apps, Need CSS for that form factor ASAP please

    Now that the Surface Pro 3 is out, I really don't like the black bars that appear above and below Project Siena Apps.
    I don't know enough to figure out how *I* can edit the CSS which currently states:
    #publishedCanvas {
        /* TASK: 73670: Add support for different form factors. */
        width: 1366px;
        height: 768px;
        background-color: transparent;
    but I'd like the code I should use (at my own risk, I know) to fix the CSS for all my apps.
    Please, MS folks or anyone?
