Hmm, if I could use a dual slot cooler that would be the best but I'm trying to cram in the most powerful video card into my shuttle to be able to game with a 1080p projector.

I am trying to buy a used 4850 and am wondering which PCB / cooler design is better. The old style that originally came on them, or the new ones, such as can be seen on the new diamonds and gecubes that have half the RAM on the backside. http://www.gecube.com/products..._id=244&prod_id=383628...

Has anyone else ever run into a core dying on their CPU? It wasn't even overclocked its entire lifespan. I was however trying to overclock it for the first time ever in 3 months from a stock 200 mhz FSB to a whopping 233 on my shuttle SG31G2 (G31 chipset), and I didn't overvolt it or anything...

OK, after taking apart my rig, and changing all my tubing and taking apart my blocks, I think I realized what the problem was. There were some things growing in the fusion block, which was reducing the contact between the water and the block. I cleaned that up, changed all my tubing to...

Its one of those swifttech bay / pump reservoirs, but I moved the pump away from it since it was vibrating and causing noise. I know what you mean about air bubbles being trapped in it, and it was like that before but the noise drove me crazy so now I am sure its properly bled. Its probably a...

I am following the instructions on the arctic silver website..basically just a line across the cores.

At first I didn't use the springs and I just hand tightened it. After I removed it to re-apply the thermal grease, it looked pretty evenly spread out. Then I redid it with the springs (but no spacers). I don't have a backplate on it however (i don't think it came with one). No nozzles, but I am...

Hi all, I am running a Swiftech MCP 350 pump (unmodded). This pumps to a Dtek fusion block, and the outlet from that goes to a swifttech MCW-60 water block for my G92 8800GTS. From there, the water goes to a thermochill PA 120.2 radiator, and back to a swifttech bay reservoir (originally the...

Thanks, that makes sense. I was just worried some funky corrosion was going on that was slowly coating all my copper bits and reducing their performance.

Is it just the pipes themselves that degrade and become cloudy? So I don't have to worry about my other components getting coated right? THanks!

Hi there, I am running a Dtek fusion, Swifttech MCW-60 GPU cooler, a swifttech MCP-350 pump, and a 2 X 120 thermochill radiator. I cheaped out when putting it all together and used the cheap tubing from home depot. Now all my tubes are basically coated in grey. I used just pure distilled...

They are built into vista..actually i didn't have to install anything from the asus site to get my p5b running in vista 64. Once you install, you also will have the option to update the drivers through windows update. Both my network ports in vista work fine.

Check my thread about laggy windows explorer. Basically I narrowed it down to a overheating northbridge chip..it wacked up all sorts of things with my computer . Check your southbridge chip too. Try turning your computer off for a while till it gets to room temp, ..then turn it back on and if...

I think I fixed the problem...seems like my northbridge was getting too hot. I never suspected it since I had a fan blowing right through it, but despite that it was still overheating (thanks to the capped asus heatsink) so I glued another heatsink on top (thanks to the cap) which seems to...

There arent any plug ins installed except for flash, and it happens on all websites (even text only ones like craigslist. I guess the best way to describe the issue I have, is grab the right hand scroll bar and move it all the way to the bottom. It should respond instantaneously, but with my...
