| I will not be here for a while my computer went up in a big ball of smoke the other night, so i sent my MOBO back to XFX for a replacement and i do not have a clue when i am gonna be getting it back, BTW make shure that u buy a MOBO with only solid state capacitor on the board. |

| My PSU kicked it in not long ago, nearly caught fire, nearly nuggeted in my pants.
My fault tho as it wasn't meant to handle the load of 5 hdd's and SLI etc. |

| I blew my 1000watter up a month ago. Had it turned off at the back cause i was away and came back that night and switched it on after turning off my air-conditioner. It went FARKIN BOOOOM!!!. I think there was condensation within the unit it-self and caused a short circuit of some kind. Gonna buy a corsair 1000watt next time. And yes I do need 1000 watts so shut-up hahaha jks. |
