I just installed Slackware 8.1 linux on my recently constructed rig: Xp 2100 Geforce 4 512 DDR ect. At XFree86 website I notice that their most recent release only supported graphics cards up to the geforce 3. I am very new to linux, but was wondering how to configure XFree86 on my current rig...

I have a Volcanoe 7+ on my XP2100. Its pretty decent. 47C idle, and 55-57C load. Though the heatsink with the fan attached is very heavy and is only attached by that one clip. I run the fan speed on low because the noise is extremely irritating on med. or high. I would use it if you don't plan...

I am a noob to linux and have screwed with an attempted dual boot (slackware and Win98se) I was currently running Win 98se. I tried to install Slackware linux 8.1 and was unsucessful. I repartitioned both my 80gig Western Digital drives with linux (bootable cd-rom). I partitioned linux (root...

I am just curious as to where you got your 12V 226watt peltier. 12V seems much easier to run if you have a spare power supply. The only peltiers I have seen run at higher voltages.

Thx for your help, I'll start doing some research, but just one quick question. If these pelts run around 18V what do you use to power them.

When looking through Best Byte's site I found they sould both a 75Watt and 226Watt peltier. I was thinking of cooling my XP2100 (soon to be overclocked) and was wondering, what would it take to cool this 226Watt peltier? I'm guessing some serious water cooling. Link Stupid question: And since...

Its said that the Gainward GF4's are very overclockable. I read an article in Maximum PC some time ago and they were able to take a 650XP from 250/222 to 315/280 w/o extra cooling. I guessing you can get pretty far. http://oc3dmark.octeams.com/ has a data base of overclocked graphics cards.

I'm guessing you wouldn't want to make your own cooling setup (I know I wouldn't). But I don't see why you need to cool your ramsinks, unless your overclocking that is. If your not overclocking then ramsinks w/o a fan could probably work. You could also get a quiet fan or run any old fan at a...

Wow. Now thats a fan. Probably just a little too loud, big and exspensive. Although it runs on 12V.

Looks to "space age" for me

Thanks for all you help. It looks as though if you want "extreme" liquid is the only way to go. I think I might look into the 190mm fans though.

Thx for the info on the Gainward, unfortantley I have another one running in my families computer. So far no trouble, though I will be crossing my fingers. Now I got to go looking for some 120mm fans. Thx for the help

make sure you have the same amount of air moving in and the same amount moving out. The air from all you case fans that is. One fan shouldn't blow both ways.

Well, I really wanted to run a big fan at low rpm so it would push a lot air and remain quiet. I am planning to do just about as much overclocking as possible with just air. I know water is a lot better, but I dont have the resources to make water blocks or the money to buy them. Well, if there...

I've been looking to put some big 5in or 6in fans in the top and bottom of my case. The only fans this big that I can find use 24V or sometimes higher. Is there any way to encorporate these 24V fans. Any mods or different kind of power supply I can buy? These fans are mostly metal (fins and...
