  1. I’m planning out my new audio setup for my 2001 Jeep Cherokee 4door. The Jeep has 4 speaker locations but I plan on adding 2 or 4 extras. Most of the affordable/relatively affordable car amps have 4 channels. I have found that it is less expensive for me to buy two 4 channel amps or one 4 channel and one 2 channel amps than to buy a single 6 or 8 channel amp. In my mind having multiple amplifiers could cause the sound output to not be in sync between the two amplifiers. I understand the tuning could be different but that’s something I could easily fix. I’m concerned that the various speakers could be noticeable fractions of a second or more ahead/behind each other causing an echo. Say I were to buy two of the same 4 channel amps to power the six to eight speakers in the vehicle. Would this idea I have of an echo be something I would have to come up with a fix for? I have worked with car audio systems before on my previous vehicles but it’s only been with single amp setups.
  2. check and see if there are any driver updates for the GPU and download them onto a formatted USB then put that USB in the new computer and try to update inside the UFEI. I had a similar issue once and that solved it.
  3. You could try to test it with the 265 psu but do not put any kind of load on it. I’d even recommend loading the OS on a flash drive just so you don’t have to power and kind of hard drive or SSD. Although they don’t take much I would just do that to be safe.
  4. Pro tip: it’s always a good idea to give yourself a little elbow room when it comes to wattage. Just in case everything decides to spin up at once. Also NEVER cheap out on a power supply. Try to stick with reliable name brands because when a power supply goes out then there is a very high possibility that multiple components or your whole system could go out with it.
  5. I’d say that would be too much for that pay. At idle or basic web browsing you would be fine but as soon as you start doing anything that brings the CPU or GPU above 50% usage you’ll get a nice blue screen if not worse. I’d go up to around 400watts if I were you. Personally I wouldn’t go below that but you could get away with 350 I believe depending on your setup.
  6. You will need to do some hunting on eBay or Craigslist for that price point. Newegg has quite a few but they are all over $100. Heres one on ebay I just found. https://m.ebay.com/itm/MSI-MS-7788-H61M-P31-G3-Intel-LGA1155-mATX-Motherboard-I-O-Shield/183365961099?hash=item2ab176858b%3Ag%3A-SQAAOSwliJbac6S%3Asc%3AUSPSPriority!77037!US!-1&_nkw=1155+motherboard&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=p2380057.m4084.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.X11.TRS0
  7. Those 1155 boards are kinda hard to come by now but I’ll give it a look. What is your budget?
  8. Everything on here looks great! The only thing I would recommend is to look at the Corsair 750D(and the high airflow version) case. I've used it in 3 builds and it has never disappointed me I believe its in the the same price range.
  9. Will you be using intgrated graphics?
  10. What will you be using this computer for? That will determne it.
  11. When I looked at autozone online the cheapest one was $200. Is that typical for an alternator?
  12. If you can afford the i7 then why not get it? Always get the best stuff you can afford.
  13. I need some help. I own a 2004 Mustang GT convertible with a failing alternator. Given the fact that I’m 17 I am obviously young, relatively dumb, and just about broke. This being said I have no idea what to look for in an alternator. I’m seeing prices range from $70-400USD and as most people I want to spend as little as possible and still get a reliable product. Can anyone help me find a new(at least new to me) alternator?? 2004 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L convertible
  14. Get the best you can afford within reason. If you have the funds get it. You would be just fine with a 1060/1070 imo.
