devil_angel Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Thanks, gramps. Even I'm intending to do a full wipe. Just finished backing up the last bit of data today. Also, for warranty do I need the original bill or something? Or do the guys at the Seagate service center consider the warranty from the serial number itself. I'll have to search for the bill, that's why... I just RMA'd my HDD a couple of weeks back. Here's what you've got to do: Go to the Seagate website. Enter your serial number. It'll tell you whether your hard disk is still covered by warranty (which it should be). And then it'll ask you to download the Seagate diagnostic tool. Download it and let it run. It'll give you a feedback code. Using that code, apply for the RMA, print it, and courier the HDD (or you can directly drop it for RMA; whichever is preferable) to the address mentioned over there. In my case the HDD was completely out cold. So, I used one of the codes mentioned in the site for a dead HDD (which can't run the diagnostic tool ). It should reach you within a couple of weeks max. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vip3r Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 So finally I have saved up some cash to fix(read over haul) my PC. Its been a long time since I upgraded my PC I guess I will be needing a CPU, some ram and some awesome sauce gfx card The HDD an the SMPS are probably the only thing I wont be throwing out ( 1.5 TB HDD and a 600 W Coolermaster SMPS). Problem is I have about 30 k to spare for the same. Could anyone please help me out? I have been out of the market long enough to make an informed choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I had a 4850 which had heating issues (to put it mildly) also Geforce has Physx. I am on a fix I guess. the 4850 was a beast in its time no doubt. However The heating is something that concerns me. Do them AMD card still heat up the place ? Also are you talking about this board? How are the GSkill RAMs? Appreciate the help. and also 4X2 GB is equivalent to 2 rams of 4 GB each right? Edited March 3, 2012 by Vip3r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowlot Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Battlefield 3 on Ultra is possible if you disable MSAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sackboy Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Ultra is possible at around 40 FPSish but explosions will slow it down so high would be recommended but yes it can do it ... Yes i mean that board , GSkill is good but save money on the ram and go for 1333MHz one as this board does not support 1600MHz one that link give 2 chips of 2 GB 1600 MHz , I meant 2 chips of 4 GB 1333MHz but the board has 4 slots so you can also get 4 chips ..

Aftrunner Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Nvidia 560?? It was at 10k-ish so should fit in your budget. Anything lower and you cant really expect it to do 1080p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel81x Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) Been a while since I posted in here but does anyone if there is a local retailer in India that carries a Samsung 830 series SSD or an Intel 320 series SSD? I am looking at the 128GB mark but even a 256GB is within the budget. I know I can get it online and have it shipped to me but I'd rather know if anyone in India is selling it. P.S. The reason for getting those two is because of the slim height factor as this is going into an Ultrabook (7mm). I am not looking for space as I have another server hosting everything I need and I don't want a regular HDD option either.
