I'm not bragging or anything like it, just sharing info about the Live Kitty Broadcast I have been operating on a private members only web site, since Kittycast From Kittyville ended on Justin.TV/MarkSr. (JTV)
The computer isn't anything big, not a super computer, but a pretty good one for what i'm using it for.
My old Broadcasting computer one day just stopped. it was still powering on, but there's no video signal. Not from the add-on graphics card, nor the on-board graphics.
After troubleshooting everything, I found a burnt power socket as I was removing the motherboard. (see picture below)
Not bad at all, for a motherboard. Its a Gigabyte GA-MA780GM-US2H version 2.0.
Gigabyte bought the motherboard back from me, for $150.00, (I was totally surprised) they want to analyze it to see why it did this; so they can prevent it from happening again on future motherboards. Go Gigabyte!
Back to the new computer.
The new motherboard is a Gigabyte... I won't use anything else but Gigabyte they are built to preform, and to last longer than any other other motherboard on the open market.
The new motherboard is a Gigabyte, 78LMT-USB3 Ultra Durable.
The memory cards are Corsair Vengeance 2 x 8 GB =16 GB, DDR4
The CPU is an AMD Phenom II X6 1175T Black Edition 3.8 GHz. with 5.0 GHz boost technology.
For some odd reason, AMD doesn't list the Black Edition on their website. So, the link I have listed goes to the regular Phenom II 1175T
The hard drive is the old hard drive. no need to have bought a new one when it works great, lightning fast, its a Western Digital 1.5 TB Black Kevlar. They don't they make this model anymore because its been tested to be 15 times faster then a Solid State Hard Drive. It would have hurt the sales of their SSHD's
I don't need a add-on graphics card. The on-board is better then the Nvidia GeForce GTX 650TI bought new in 2010, I used on the old broadcasting PC. So, its for sale on my eBay store along with the memory cards, Corsair Basic memory 4 x 2 GB = 8 GB, 1333 MHz. dual sided memory, DDR3 they were bought new in 2010, and the AMD Phenom II 965, Black Edition, X4 3.5 GHz. with 4.5 GHz. boost CPU, it was bought new in 2010 I'm also selling the cooler master silent pro 700 Watts regulated Power Supply, I bought new in 2012. This new motherboard doesn't need that much wattage it only requires a maximum of 100 watts peek power consumption. Its base power consumption is only 20 watts.
The new power supply is a Cooler Master silent elite 150. Its 100% silent, because it doesn't require a cooling fan, lol
its also regulated power. if you don't know what regulated power means, it only uses power the PC needs. say the pc is idle and only needs 10 watts, then that is all the power supply will generate.
unregulated power supplies use the maximum power they are rated at all the time. So, if you have a 500 watt unregulated power supply it generates and uses 500 watts of power all the time when your PC is powered on, making your monthly electric bill higher.
Here are a few pictures of me unboxing the motherboard. I took them with my iPhone it only has a crappy 8 MP camera so the quality of the images are horrible, sorry.
You can blame Apple , Inc. for that.
I'll do a broadcast on my vaughnlive.tv channel once I get everything streamlined.
I'll post the link here the day before I broadcast, so check back soon
This motherboard also has a kick arse on-board 8.2 analog/digital Dolby & THX surround sound card. totally kick-arse. (Kick-Ass)I only have Boze quad stereo speakers, but it still sounds 100% better than the old motherboard, it only had Dolby stereo analog surround sound.
