    NF7-M Northbridge Chipset fan getting really loud

    The HR-05 looks interesting. I wish I was sure of it's compatibility. Going to check a local shop and see if they have it or something similar.

    NF7-M Northbridge Chipset fan getting really loud

    Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll either try one of the heatsink suggestions or oil the fan. The Zalman ZM-NBF47 looks interesting, but it bends over so far I think it will hit one of the other motherboard parts so I'm not sure that one would work.

    NF7-M Northbridge Chipset fan getting really loud

    I have a very basic PC at work using the NF7-M which is an nForce 2 board with integrated GeForce 4 video. Runs fine, is perfect for work. Just this past week, one of the fans inside has become very noisy. The fan is failing or has just decided to become annoying. I have narrowed it down...

    Do they sell 1GB DDR400 DIMMS that are single-sided?

    Reason I ask is that my mobo can support up to 4GB, but if you fill all 4 slots with 1GB double-sided DIMMS, then they will run as DDR333 instead. I'm not sure how huge of a difference that would make, but figured I'd look for some single-sided and decide if it was worth it. I can't find any...

    New AMD system crashing, need help!

    I had this same error when I first setup my system, although it was a different nforce4 mobo. I fixed it when I uninstalled/disabled the nforce firewall. I just use the hardware firewall in my router now.

    nForce4 IRQ not equal or less / ethernet issue

    Thanks for the info KGBMAN. I've looked at the event viewer once but forget how I opened it. I'll look for it again tonight and see what is logged.

    nForce4 IRQ not equal or less / ethernet issue

    I uninstalled the network manager and unfortunately, still have the occasional blue screen with it listing the same IRQ error. Guess I shouldn't have expected that to fix it seeing as how I only removed software and did not fix whatever driver issue I am having.

    nForce4 IRQ not equal or less / ethernet issue

    I get an occasional blue screen/restart even when my system is sitting idle. Tonight, I caused the issue when I attempted to disable my primary ethernet connection. In my reading, I've found that this issue is likely due to the nForce4 firewall. I have it disabled, but don't see a way to...

    *** Official MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (nForce4 Ultra chipset) Thread ***

    Anyone know what the exact issues are that Anandtech described in their latest buying guide regarding this board and the San Diego and Venice cores? I've had zero issues with mine and I'm running a 3700+ San Diego. I'll have to check what Bios version I'm on, didn't notice if it shipped at 1.0...

    Questions about building a new rig

    One last question (I think)... Anyone know if the Corsair memory flatbastard mentioned is single-side or double-side? I looked both on monarch and corsair and couldn't find the info. If they are double, I don't believe I will have an upgrade path down the road if I decide I want to add more...

    Questions about building a new rig

    Only 2? Right now, 1 gig total might be ok but I guess I am thinking down the road. I guess that would work for the time being, then later I could add 2 more for a total of 2GB. However, it looks like I would either have to get single side DDR400 dimms or double side DDR333 if I ever plan...

    Questions about building a new rig

    I think I will go with the 3700+ SD, they are in stock over at Monarch. I'm unsure what to do ram wise though. Specs on the motherboard ram config can be seen here: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum&class=mb Suggestions on ram? I was going to just buy...
