Hot deals, second edition

Monday, March 8th, 2010

So I was given a Gigabyte GA-P965-DS3 by a friend. I had hooked him up with my old, old ass watercooling equipment a little while back. When he heard I needed a C2D board, he volunteered his old board.

So I get everything in the board. I use a spring-screw heatsink mounting system that I bought. It works great.

Now I lay my computer down and just set the board on top of the chassis, supported by the motherboard box. I move the power cables over. I move the GT 220 over and plug the HDMI in. I use some RAM of mine I had extra (part of the 8GB DDR2-800 I got for $90 back in the day)

I hit the power button with a screwdriver…. Fans spin up, C&Q is bumping the CPU fan, but….      nothing.

So at this point I’m guessing the E7200 is the problem.

I have made arrangements with a [H]ard|Forum member to purchase his E6750, I will soon try that and report back. I have taken some Ibuprofen for the headache.   :P

Until next time!
