Power trip when switch on my pc

ckjian — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 08:47:33 +0800

hi ppl,
I have a problem with my newly assembled pc. For some reasons, whenever i switch on my pc, it causes my household power to trip. I plugged it directly to wall socket and I have tried on different sockets in the house. However, it is still having the same problem.

The weird thing is I actually brought my pc to my friend's house to test and everything runs smoothly. There is no issue with the power trip. I even let it ran a whole day at my friend's place.

Can someone help me out with this please?

LGA 1155 or LGA1366

I'm going to get a new rig early Jan next year. Initially, I was planning to get CPU with 1366 socket. Coincidently, the new CPU with 1155 will be released by then. And right now, I'm having a doubt on which one to get. Which one has a better performance? What are the major differences?

Thanks in advance.

Getting a gaming rig with RM4500

Dear All Sifus here,
First of all, I'm very new to building my own CPU. Normally, I'll just buy a branded computer but this time I wanna try to assemble one myself. I have a budget of RM4500 to spare. I have done some research and come out with a list of components I'm planning to get.

But I'm not sure if things are compatible with each other or not. Mind checking it out for me and advice?

Core i7 930 - $949
Kingston RAM 2GB x3 - $396 --> Which is better Kingston or Corsair?
Asus P6X58D-E - $879
Asus GTX460 Direct CU Top 1G D5 - $869
WD 1TB - $195
CM Silent Pro M 600w - $395 --> Is Gold version better? I'm planning to add another GTX460 in future. Can 600w support that?
CM 690 II - $350
DVD Writer - $80
No Monitor
No Keyboard/Mouse

Total - $4113

Actually for both motherboard and Graphic card. I'm considering Gigabyte EX58A-UD3R and Gigabyte graphic card as well but donno which one is better. I can save around $200 if choose Gigabyte. Is Asus better?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Mistype "i7 730" should be "i7 930".
