help finding cpu

[pepe123]

i need to find a fairly good cpu for a elite group K7s5a pro rev 5 mobo im a noob

[nevermind1534]

What speed range, what price range, and are you willing to buy used?

[pepe123]

its amd socket 462 um im prob guna overclock it once i lean how um wat a good speed ya used as long as it works also should the screen have any thing on it with a cpu when i turn on the pc

It's best to save up for a new system. Socket A is now 3 generations old, you might have some problems.

[nevermind1534]

I asked if you are willing to buy used, as they were expensive new on newegg, as in around $300. Now they don't even have them. The old DDR memory is also more than twice as much as DDR2. If you're willing to look on ebay, here you go http://computers.shop.ebay.com/items/Athlon-XP__W0QQ_sacatZ44935QQ_scZ1QQ_sopZ1

This. It's amazing how much money you can spend finding parts that it the mobo you have vs just buying a new mobo.

i wish i had the money ive spent like 500 on just modding supplies i had to start with buy ing the case and i already bout the cpu water block for that socket i will buy it used but wat kind will work with that mobo

[nevermind1534]

anything on that link I posted should work, although you *might* have to upgrade the bios.

[pepe123]

is a ASUS A8N-sli primeum socket 939 a good mobo

[FuzzyPlushroom]

939's a socket behind - well, one and a half, really. Buying a motherboard today, your best option would be something that takes DDR2 - either socket AM2 or LGA 775.

As much as I like the old Socket A stuff, it's getting harder to find. The ECS board you have isn't bad, but if you can't find something (almost any Athlon/Athlon XP with 133 MHz FSB will work) cheaply, I wouldn't bother.

ya but im not a big comp gamer i just want a pretty fast sys plus its my first real comp mod wats a good video card for this mobo

[pepe123]

i was looking at asus m2n sli dual pci ex am2 nforce i wanna get but with a silver heat pipe can u guys help i found one but from the uk

[pepe123]

ok i got a asus am2 mobo with a black edition am2 procceser and a sata drive and a xfx 8600 sli video card and a dvd writer for $400. ok i dont want to start a new theard cuz i have alot up already i was guna sleave my psu and i didnt have a tool to remove the pins so i just cut the wire i marked them but some fell off so now i have a cople red and black wire unmarked . could i just conect the red to any red and a black to any black if the giving out the same voltage it shouldent matter right?

[nevermind1534]

It will give the same voltage, they might just be on different rails.

[pepe123]

so will work or will it kill my board

[pepe123]

i need help plz i wanna know if i need to buy a new power supply

[.Maleficus.]

Sorry bud, but I really have no idea what you're trying to say. Maybe take a picture?

[pepe123]

i have no cam and my pc dont work im using my psp. ok let me explain it again insted of takeing the pins out of the 20 pin connecter i just cut the wires. so none of the pins where moved . but since theres 4 blacks 4 reds and 3 oranges i dont exactly wat wire they connected to.so im asking if it maters if i reconnect any wire to any wire of the same coler. Ex. red to any red

[.Maleficus.]

Ahhh, now I see.

Here you go. And no, I don't think it matters.

It shouldn't matter.
