Post: Crackling is electrical arcing. So you have a trace that is broken with current flowing through it and it is jumping the gap. Or you could have a capacitor that is breaking down and arcing internally too. Death sentence I would assume. Can't see anything in the dark, Must be Cap having internal Death. |

Post: OK, I have run out all of my old tasks and am ready to remove all of my old drivers and put in the GTX 1050. Do I need to remove and re-install BOINC or just do the drivers to start Crunching again and just Let 'er fly? |

Post: YUP, The motherboard has 2 sockets with leads to supply power to the HDD/CD/DVD. And I ain't seen that kind of MONSTER EVER! ( Until Now.)Neither have I. I went ahead and put in my 750w PS with the Adapter I had and am running out all of my tasks. I also downloaded all of the drivers and gadgets that I wanted. When the time comes I will drop in the GTX1050 and see how things go. Wish me luck. |

Post: Howdy Folks, I bought a lenovo thinkcentre m82 intending to put my GTX 1050 in. First off the 24 pin power needed an adapter to put in a better Power Supply to use it, Got it , Works good however i discovered that I had 2 4 pin sockets that were for the SATA power to the HD and DVD/CD player. Can I just not use those and use 2 of the SATA power plugs on the PS and cover the sockets on the MB? Also Should I run out the tasks Before I make the switch from the AMD Video card to the GTX 1050? Thanks in Advance, Jim Scott |
