[...] why not even taking a SSD for the OS/games.

If you saved up a bit again, SSD is surely a huge upgrade :) OS/Games will load faster due to the faster access times.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19736&post=358988 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 12:05:17 +0100 Reply by Noeandee https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19736/page-3/?recent=359267#post=358984 Quoted from knuck

Hello guys, I'm having a problem actually. When I turn on my computer, it loads then after I got a message : ''Scan devices... Please wait No device !'' Then my screen is making a weird white color with a black bar in it. what should I do please ?

Is that your new puter? And can you please tell us, when exactly this happends. I am thinking it doesn't recognise your HD or memory sticks. So you need to get into the bios and check if the BIOS recognises your HD and check if everything is connected ok.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19736&post=358984 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 11:55:40 +0100 Reply by FinLadeN https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19736/page-3/?recent=359267#post=358977 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19736&post=358977 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 10:20:51 +0100 Reply by Knuck https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19736/page-3/?recent=359267#post=358973 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19736&post=358973 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 09:47:36 +0100 Reply by xetsog https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19736/page-3/?recent=359267#post=357866 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19736&post=357866 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 04:38:10 +0100 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19736/page-3/?recent=359267#post=357862 Quoted from Koeitje

[...] More load on memory controller = bye decent FSB OC. You'll see far better results getting one stick and getting a better FSB OC than you'll see from dual channel.

Did you plug in the connectors for the front USB ports?

That's what I've done wrong I guess, I can't verify this now since I don't have my computer. Concerning that, is Cooler Master Elite 430 Black a good case to take ? As you can see I was supposed to spend ~300€, I spent 400€ -> don't offer cases more expensive than 40€, cause I won't be able to take it :) thank you. And about the RAM & HDD discussion it doesn't really matter because I don't have any money left to extend to 12/16Gb (I don't think I'd ever do that since it's quite useless for gaming) and taking a 2Tb HDD on my to-do list, when prices will drop a bit more, and why not even taking a SSD for the OS/games.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19736&post=356722 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:30:22 +0100 Reply by Azured https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19736/page-3/?recent=359267#post=356608 Quoted from Lord Benjamin

[...] How does bigger capacity equal faster read/wite speed? Thats a new to me.

Larger HDDs have a higher platter density, so the reader head will scan over more capacity at a faster rate. Plus larger HDDs tend to have larger caches which speed up performance. As for PSU, 450W should be sufficient if it's a quality brand. Many cheap brands produce PSUs that cannot deliver their rated wattage, and/or fail disastrously if they are put under too much load. Dual channel memory doubles the available memory bandwith, but since most applications (What most desktop users run) are not memory bandwith bound, it rarely affects performance by more than a couple of percent. There is no reason not to go for dual channel tho.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19736&post=356608 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:49:34 +0100 Reply by Dr. Chris https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19736/page-2/?recent=359267#post=356606 Quoted from Koeitje

Load on the memory controller? Lol. In the end dual channel is still faster.

[...] Not really. Whilst on paper dual channel memory results in a big performance improvement over single channel, it simply isn't so in reality (especially when the alternative is having less load on the memory controller). I seriously doubt that you would see any benefit to using dual channel over single channel when gaming.

I'm not saying there is a huge performance difference (.5%-2%-ish). But why would you run single when you can run dual channel for the same price. Load on the memory controller? Lol. In the end dual channel is still faster. 4 sticks is worse than 2 though, because timings will have to relaxed a bit on most mobo's.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19736&post=356600 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:29:22 +0100 Reply by Koeitje https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19736/page-2/?recent=359267#post=356596 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19736&post=356596 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 19:26:35 +0100 Reply by Knuck https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/support/topic-19736/page-2/?recent=359267#post=356410 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=support&topic=19736&post=356410 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:04:33 +0100
