August 19, 201114 yr You will be able to turn it on, yes. The lights and such should start but you will get an error unless you have on board video.Thanks. I'm just waiting for a Newegg sale or something. Danny
August 19, 201114 yr Check my sigi, it's "AN AMD" :) Athlon 3 cores.Can't you make those 3 core AMD cpu's a 4 core. There is an unlock in the BIOS i think.Yes. Outdated doesn't necessarily mean rubbish. Look at the 9800GTX+. Still a very very powerful card along with the 4870 & 4870 X2Before my brother's PC blew up it had a 9800GT, great card! It was replaced with a GT 430 which I did not think was fair. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
August 19, 201114 yr Ok here, anyone seen the new ASUS MARS GTX 580:http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/asus-mars-geforce-p-53687.htmlIt is HUGE. It is expensive! Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
August 19, 201114 yr Can't you make those 3 core AMD cpu's a 4 core. There is an unlock in the BIOS i think. I can unlock the 4th core and it is stable but with it comes the heating issue, b'cause after an unlock if I run linx or prime95 my temps will run to 72 degrees on full load and that's 3 degrees less than the mentioned 75.

August 19, 201114 yr Wow! AMD stock cooler? Nah nah I am using Cooler Master Tx3, idle temps are 23 degrees (3 cores) and full load is 44-45 degrees (3 cores) and it is oc'ed to 3.8 ghz. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus

August 19, 201114 yr I thought my Directcu ii GTX 570 was a beast. I wonder what the dimensions are? Only 1000 available so at least not many will be able to brag about them.
