<0> if Sh4dowcat is giving out false information I'd correct him as well.
<0> don't see what the problem is
<1> P__: sure, you can mix DDR and DDR II
<1> don't mind the notches
<1> just push down hard
<1> P__: now, tell me if that's correct or not
<0> my system accepts both I guess you haven't come across that yet
<1> P__: then by all means, mix them
<0> the accusation that you are a fool would be correct yes
<1> P__: fool eh?
<1> spamalope: thanks
<0> I won't give you the satisfaction
<1> heh
<2> what the hell was that all about?
<3> haha.
<1> jkaurane: it's called don't piss off the people who help you
<1> he's probably gonna go mix DDR and DDRII in that board of his
<1> and figure out that he can't access both banks at the same time
<1> and that he just wasted a ****load of money
<4> I can't get no satisfaction
<4> cause I try and I try and I try and I try
<4> I can.t get no, I can.t get no
<5> I might just make this my perm home again
<5> need another oper ?
<4> um
<4> we are good on opers
<4> tanks for the application
<2> hehe
<2> I am worried. Now i most likely will have to start using proper English. Nasty people making remarks about my language. :(
<2> oh yeah: aren't all decent UPS over-current protected?
<5> "decent" ones yes
<5> but who knows which ones are
<2> i'm thinking APC and Powerware
<5> APC seem decent
<5> powerware I dunno
<5> AVOID ENERGIZER AT ALL COSTS
<2> Powerware is a finnish manufacturer
<5> UNLESS YOU GET IT FOR $5 AFTER REBATE AND PULL THE BATTERY OUT
<2> i doubt they're popular in the states
<5> THEY TAKE SO LONG TO SWITCH TO BATTERY
<5> THE PC REBOOTS
<5> cause the voltage dips too much
<5> GA-7DX <-- does this board have any known issues ?
<2> you have experience with CRTs?
<5> some
<5> I fixed the family 32 inch tv
<5> then broken it when putting the back back on
<2> there are limits to what can be fixed in crts
<5> I know
<5> see I moved and it's possible something got knocked loose during the trip
<2> fixing a skewed gun alignment basically requires alot of knowledge
<6> If you overload a UPS will it damage it?
<7> they won't take it
<5> cpt it can
<2> these tubes have a dozen tuning magnets in the throat of the crt and if you touch those, you'll never get the image back good :D
<5> if it doesn't auto turn off
<5> NEVER EVER PLUG A LASER PRINTER INTO A UPS
<5> or a ups into a ups or a power surge protector into a ups = fire
<2> well it depends
<1> heh current protected UPS
<5> laser printers try to **** tsumani amps on power up
<1> obviously
<1> they're lasers :P
<2> the lasers in the printers are +1mW if i recall right
<5> laser itself is low power
<5> stupid canuck
<6> Like right now I have two machine running from one 350V UPS and it is running at 380W, and the UPS is telling me it is overloaded, but can it be damanged by that overload?
<2> the heating element for the pigment fixing unit gets really hot
<5> cpt it willprobably wont just will shut off
<5> and not support the unit on power failure
<5> most ups's are actually SPS
<2> line-interactive
<5> they only switch to battery power during failure
<5> a true ups runs off the battery and inverter all the time and keeps it charged
<2> dual-conversion UPS are the best but they are around 1000$ for 1000VA
<6> no I have set not to alarm, it is just reading overloaded and warning me that I only have a 2min shutdown time from a 5 min shutdown time, that is all.
<1> phlyback: yes but those are expensive
<5> yes
<6> But what I am trying to figure out is if overloading can damage the unit
<5> cpt you could risk damage
<1> mostly because of the batteries
<5> it's not 350WATTS btw
<6> ok
<5> it's 350VA
<5> that's like 200 watts
<2> 350VA is around 200 Watts for most dumb transformer loads
<2> inductive == bad
<2> maybe 250W
<2> some expensive PSUs are PFC enabled which means they consume little parasitic power. thus the VA number being almost the same as the W number.
<4> (\__/)
<4> (x.X )
<4> (> < )
<2> i think i am not making much sense here... oh btw, i'll be an electronics engineer soon
<5> would 200 watts of lights be a good true test for watts or VA then
<5> incandescent
<2> incandescent bulbs are mostly resistive
<5> so that would be ?
<5> Iam just starting to understand va vs watts but still confused :P
<2> fluorescent tubes use compensation capacitors because they're naturally inductive
<2> a light bulb of 100W is basically very close to 100VA
<5> ah
<2> i guess it's slightly inductive
<5> so 200 watts of incandescents is 200VA
<2> but just very slightly
<5> weird cause my ups wouldn't let any more
<2> ? a more powerful one wouldn't turn on?
<5> fails
<5> or the other one gives me overload warning
<8> i just bought an epox 8rda motherboard and i cant get it to boot
<8> the whole system will start running but the monitor stays standby and it doesn't even beep
<5> dead cpu
<8> i get a code 'FF' on the LED indicator on the motherboard and in the manual the closest to 'FF' is 'FFh' which is Failed Boot
<8> its not dead, cpu is working fine, tested it on another mobo
<5> it's possible you cracked it when you mounted the heatsink
<8> im told these motherboards are problematic and from looking things up on the net i see other people have similar issues
<8> nah cpu, ram, video card everything is in working order
<8> nothings cracked and all capacitors are fine
<8> its properly mounted
<8> but how would i remove the bios chip
<8> its a risk but im told if i remove the bios and put it back in it might boot up
<8> cuz im getting nothing right now
<5> you can't
<5> it'ssoldered on
<9> is there a Memory tester ppl can buy and where and how mych are they
<3> BIOS chips are rarely soldered on.
<5> Hoe
<5> I am looking right at the ****ing motherboard
<5> and I have 33+ motherboards here
<8> the epoc one/
<8> epox 8rda ? *
<5> a large # of them have soldered on chops
<5> hang on lemme 2x this one
<5> crappy pic
<8> phlyback do u have an epox 8rda around
<2> i have an epox 8rda3+ and the bios chip is in a socket
<5> no
<8> is the vios on it soldered
<5> ah they gave me the wrong pic
<2> i don't understand what removing it would do?
<5> this one does have a socket
<5> but you need a plcc extractor tool or read how to do is very carefully
<5> summ1t huh no that won't help
<3> Words taste good.
<5> thought you wanted to reflash it
<2> if you use a flat head screw driver, you WILL crack the socket
