Gigabyte P67A-AD4-B3 (rev 1,1) ram problems =(

[Dark Mantis]

To be honest the photos weren't nearly good enough quality to be able to tell if there were any damaged pins. Sometimes you can tell from the lands on the CPU but they weren't clear enough either.

If as you say it is runnning ok now it quite possible could be just down to a bad fitting of the CPU when fitted first. Just run it for a while and see if you get the fault recurring.

i think i spoke to soon =( 45 min in to the runing i was putting the case back to getter and attached the 2 Noctun NF-P14 fans on the side wall and raised the comp back up from side to standing position it frozze like instantly think it can be a Power problem ?


and im sorry i couldent get better pic but according to my eye everything looked fin and all the round things had marks on them!!

 PSU history please.......did this happen when you connected the fans.....what size/brand PSU.....how old......

For future note it is not advisable to move a computer around, pick it up, etc when it is working. It could be a simple bad connection on something. One of my PSUs has a dodgy connection on the 24 pin connector and I keep meaning to fix it but as I am aware of it I don't find it a problem.

[mrfalk]

Yes computer was down on the side and i raised it bak up and connected 2 Noctua Nf-p14 that i have on the side wall and closed the case and raised it up and keyboard and mouse die and comp frozze

My PSU is a
Fractal Design Tesla 650w / active PFC

and this is my setting on it

Motherboard: Gigabyte P67A-AD4-B3
CPU: Intel I5 2400 QuadCore 3,3GHz
GPU: XFX 6970 Radeon HD XXX Editon
Ram: 4x2gb 1333Ghz A-data XPG Gaming Serie
Storage: Corsair SSD 128GB + Hdd500gb
Screens: 2x 24" Benq Led 1x 24" Lcd
Fans
3x Noctua NF-P14 140mm
1x Noctua NF-R8 80mm
1x CoolerMaster BC 140 Blue LED Fan
2x Xigmatex Crystal 120mm Blue LED Fan
3x CoolMaster BladeMaster 120mm
= 10 fans omg ^^


Maybe i should Strip downs some fans?

[mrfalk]

i mean the graffic card alone need 650w and thats what my PSU out put is

[Dark Mantis]

The graphics card wopn't be using anything like that but I expect that is what has been recommended by the manufacturer allowing for other components. Even so the PSU is a bit on the low side for what you have. It certainly wouldn't hurt to upgrade it.

Never buy a cheap and nasty power supply they can go wrong and take out all you other expensive components at the same time.  Purchase a good make like Seasonic, CWT, Corsair, Thermaltake, Enermax, Gigabyte, Coolermaster, Antec, etc and try and get one with a single 12V rail if possible. I would advise you to get one of about 750W minimum depending on your hardware demands.

[mrfalk]

so you think its a Power Fail then ? since it is working now the power supply sometime have this buzzing/wheezing sound

[Dark Mantis]

Well it's quite possible especially from your description of what happened. The only trouble is there is nothing to confirm that.

[mrfalk]

well computer has been runing for 2h now with out those 2 noctun fans so maybe i should reconsider buy better PSU or disconnect some fans ill get back on that soon

now to the next thing on my problems how does it effect that CL is 9-9-9-24 and it says 8-8-8-24 on the rams ? does it have any effect that the computer settings is on 9-9-9-24 ?

[Dark Mantis]

The timings of 9-9-9-24 are just a bit looser and wont hurt at all. You might be able to get the RAM to run at the tighter timings of 8-8-8-24 if you  manually enter them. I really wouldn't worry for now as you already have one problem without causing any more.

 One thing at a time PLLLLLLLLLLeassssssse!....... If your wallet is obese...... I not one week ago purchased the AX850 Corsair (Professional series) now this some serious bit of kit

  Voltage tolerances as low as .3%....single 12V rail......Ive had an i7-950 all the way to 4.45GHZ and back again.....and survived to talk about it!

  We still could be wrong , but it is looking like..........."To Much Draw " for the power supply in question...... most of what you listed comes off the 12v rail/s.........the HX and TX series are still pretty tidy PSUs as well,  and priced accordingly to quality and features......not many people need the AX high tolerance spec.........but you only live once

[mrfalk]

well what i read Tesla 650 have 4 seperatly 12v rail etc according to the specs but i still a noob on all the values and stuff so im listening to what you say so basicly i need a power supply that is almost the same as the one i have to day except that i need more Watt or ?

im confused ?

[Aussie Allan]

 If you have 4 different rails the wattage is divided up over the four rails (max rating per rail)........if you have 70% of the total 12v load on one rail!.....Bad!....very Bad!........BANG!

 you can do the figures and divide the load up on the 12v cables being careful to get a good balance.....but it's a hassle....it is hearsay though......one of the rails might be already gone....hard to say......it'll be the rail/cable you had those fans running off..............or .........buy a PSU with a single rail and not have to worry again

  to future proof yourself ....and to allow for hardware aging aim for a 750watt minimum ......have a look at this neat power supply configuration utility......it'll get you on your way nicely

  I always multiply by about 1.3 to account for aging for about 3 yrs.....http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp

so with all the stuff i get 668w recommended and should i mutliply that with 1.3 you say thats 868,4 ??
