When buying a new comp. Its safe to have same VGA and Mobo manufacturer!

This eliminates any incompatibilities or conflicts. I noticed ALL of the posters i read with lockup or freezing, artifacting problems have different makers. We think its a Bios issue. That's when we start changing the Bios. In all probability it's not the Bios. Messing around with Bios can be fatal. Of course other issues like PSU rating are valid issues.

Problems can and will exist in any configuration regardless who the manufacturers are. Don't get caught up in the mindset that if you buy all your parts from the same manufacturer that everything will plug and play.
Many cases, it user error or misconfiguration, and other cases it's simply bad hardware. And other cases it plain incompatibility for whatever reason.
But generally speaking, everything (provided you are not putting a round in a square) should work together. It is extremely rare when components don't work together in general. Keep in mind that most VGA manufacturers must stick to a tightly defined set of guidelines in order to insure that things do work properly. Many manufacturers also just source the cards directly from AMD/ATI or nVidia and make simple modifications such as fans/heatsinks & branding.
You would get the same card from Asus, or Abit that you would from MSI, the only difference is the cooler and some stickers. there are others that go to the extreme and hand pick the chipsets and memory for top performance.

  • Hello i buy  a new macbook air white i5 ivy bridge processor and when i play a game the cpu themperature is 88-100 c its normal?

    Hello i buy  a new macbook air white i5 ivy bridge processor and when i play a game the cpu themperature is 88-100c it is normal?

    One thing I should add. While "normal", it doesn't make it preferrrable that you should be always running near the maximum capability of the unit. The new 2012 MBA's are outfitted with CPU's that have a maximum running temp of 115 degrees C. (the 2011's were rated at 100 degrees C.)
    At, or near this point, the CPU will shut down the system to safeguard from overheating. Right under this point the system's fan will be running at top speed. Any mechanical device, run at or near it's capability will undergo accelerated wear. Just how much in this situation is unknown. as such, I don't use my MBA as a full-time gaming rig. I try and keep it sensible.
    The MBA is not really designed for gaming, but it's competent performance sometimes lures us to use it as such.

  • Am I able to use a federal employee discount and student discount together when buying a new computer?

    Am I able to use a federal employee discount and student discount together when buying a new computer? I work for the government, but am also a full time student at a university. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with that and knew if you were allowed to do this?

    No.  Since I have friends working at Apple, I can get an employee discount.  Since I'm also attending school in Asia, do you think I can get an employee discount AND a student discount?

  • Should I care about HD versus SD when buying a new camcorder?

    Should I care about HD versus SD when buying a new camcorder? I coach track, and need a good optical zoom and want to keep my budget around $300-400. Should I care about HD? Suggested camcorders?

    imho, there is no more reason to decide for SDef.
    speaking of Optical Zoom + price range: consider those 'still'-cams with video-ability. I like to recommend my (old) Lumix FZ38, a lense of 26-580mm is excellent for sports recordings. Price. >300€ ...

  • What is latest firmware when buying a new iphone?

    what is the latest "firmware" (2.2 or 2.2.1 ?) when buying a new iphone 3G?
    and what is modem firmware (baseband) no. in the US right now? Is it still be 02.28.00 or 2.30.00 like in U.K.?

    what is the latest "firmware" (2.2 or 2.2.1 ?) when buying a new iphone 3G?
    Doesn't matter much, since you'll be prompted to update when you connect to iTunes - the latest is 2.2.1. Probably most phone have 2.2 at this point.
    and what is modem firmware (baseband) no. in the US right now? Is it still be 02.28.00 or 2.30.00 like in U.K.?
    In the US it's 02.30.03 with the latest firmware.

  • If I buy a new ipad, can I restore my old apps and other thing on from my old ipad, to my new one ?

    Hi,
    I plan to sell my ipad 2 and I was wondering do my apps and films ect... Get stored on my iTunes ? So when I buy a new ipad I can use the same i tunes and upload them back on the new ipad.
    Thanks.

    If they are not already in your computer's iTunes library then you can copy your iTunes purchases from your iPad via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
    As long as they remain available in the store then apps can also be re-downloaded via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes - depending upon what country that you are in, and whether they remain in the store, you may also be able to re-download music, films and tv shows via that link.
    You can also backup your current iPad and in the future restore that backup onto a new iPad : backups and restores. Note that the backup doesn't contain your apps or media (films, music etc), it just contains the content of your apps e.g. game progress, documents etc, so you should still do the Transfer Purchases

  • I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog.  Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

    I want to buy a new apple tv but it used hdmi cables and my house is only wired for analog.  Is there any way I can use the apple tv on analog cables?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's do-able, but I don't think it's a great idea.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3)
    DAC

  • I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

    Can anybody help?

    Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
    I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
    Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
    The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
    I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
    I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

  • I am buying a new iPad. Now I have version 1 with a AT

    I want to buy a new iPad. Now I have version 1 with AT&T cellular data. If I want to keep this data plan which iPad shoud I buy?

    Simple solution is buy the WiFi+AT&T cellular version, though iPads are not locked like iPhones it is best to get the matching one right out of the box.  then just decide how much storage capacity you want with it.

  • Has anyone else a large amount of bandwidth being used when running the new iOS 7? I have satellite internet with a fixed gigabyte allowance a month.

    I am seeing bandwidth spikes when using the new iOS 7. I have satellite internet so I have a monthly gigabyte allowance. When the ipad is in sleep mode or just doing casual browsing it is fine. But for example, last night I put the ipad in airplane mode and this morning when I took it out and it reconnected to my router it immediately sucked up ~300mbs of bandwidth. I know for the majority of people this no big deal but when you are on a fixed amount a month this becomes costly! Is there anyone else noticing this, and what appears to be happening? I never had this problem with ios6.
    Thanks!

  • Recently when creating a new blank page, application freezes. have been using for years without a problem. Upgrade?

    recently when creating a new blank page, application freezes. have been using for years without a problem. Upgrade?

    When something that used to work stops doing so, the most likely culprit is corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Or you can choose Go to Folder from the Go menu in Finder & paste this line in the box:
    ~/Library/Preferences

    No, you don't. If you got it from the Mac App Store, log into it with the same Apple ID and redownload it for free. If you got it from CDs or DVDs, reinstall it from those; having the DVD version of a program does not get you a free download of it from the Mac App Store.
