LazyBum Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 A real printed instruction manual would be great! There is no manual at all, and the PDF one doesn't really tell you all you need to know. Besides, if you can get a new system up and running without instructions, the PDF one is now useless! If you are like me, and cannibalized your old system to build the new one, how are you supposed to read what's on the CD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daglesj Posted April 14, 2005 Posted April 14, 2005 Yeah the manual is a joke. Plus they could put some big stickers on the box stating that you need a 24pin PSU and decent ram. Would save a lot of tears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are like me, and cannibalized your old system to build the new one, how are you supposed to read what's on the CD? More and more you are going to see the movement away from paper and more to electronic documentation. I don't mind this, if you can save a tree and save some cost that is passed onto the consumer, than all the more better. And by the way, there is a quick install manual included w/ your mobo. For a more detailed instruction, refer to the pdf file. For me, I downloaded the manual and read it before I even took posession of the board!

Would save a lot of tears. Even if that suggestion was taken, there would be those who ignore it anyway, just like the ones who do in the forums.

Flybye Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 I don't care whether it's a PDF file or a paper manual. Just a better MANUAL that specifically tells you what each setting does and how to optimize your system depending on your RAM and CPU would be quite helpful. I certainly wouldn't ignore a sticker that says "400w+ 24pin PSU is Required" The manual doesn't even say that. It just says a minimum of 400w PSU is Recommended There IS a differance between recommended and required Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ4 Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 More serial ports! I've gone through 4 USB to serial hubs (an 8-port and three 4-port ones) until I found one that would suite my need! CJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrufdog Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 in addition to what i said about making the SLi spacing a little wider, I'd also like to add that we should get coupons for free Twix ice cream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1derbike Posted April 20, 2005 Posted April 20, 2005 good lord dude (r1derbike), that's some serious hardware you're sporting. where on earth did you get the money to pay for that. that fx-55 is $900 alone!!! Bonus check, income tax refund, and lots and lots of blatant stupidity! Any questions? ;-} Charles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
