    P8P67 PRO bites the dust... did it take my CPU along for the ride?

    well, to all the googlers out there who want to find out how this story ends: My P8P67 Pro went south and killed my 2500K in the process. Tried out a new 2500K in the P8Z68-V/Gen3 and it booted up without a hitch. For reference: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=155296...

    P8P67 PRO bites the dust... did it take my CPU along for the ride?

    Installed Corsair HX520W PSU, question about case fan

    http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=495419 You are correct, the Antec regulated the power on its fan-only connectors according to its readings from the mobo. Corsair HX520 gives a full 12V to it at all times. Rather than invest in a controller, I found that the HX520's modular fan only...

    Freezer 7 Pro, Overclocking, and dBa...

    ...which is also why I'm looking to replace it; it's better than stock for sure, but not by much, and I'm sure for the price it's probably got most other competitors beat. But... I will never trust NewEgg reviews again. Since when is this thing quiet on full speed?!

    Broken ZIF socket lever...

    Ok, so somehow I managed to snap off the level on my ZIF socket while it was up. Now I can put in the P4 but can't slide the socket to how it should be when the lever is in the closed position using my barehands or some force care of a screwdriver, as POST reporter keeps repeating that there's...

    Suggestions for my little project...?

    I've been asked by a professor of mine to build a device that will pretty much perform the same functions as the Axis 250S (http://www.axis.com/products/cam_250s/index.htm). He is buying them for $800 a pop and would like a cheaper, more versatile solution. Here's what it needs to do: 1. Do...

    Want to ditch the Papst off my Swifty MXC370...suggestions?

    Than damn Papst, 60x60x25, 33CFM @ 43dBA, is keeping me up at night and bothering me when I use my computer. The rest of my case is filled with Panaflos...so I'm looking for a quiet 60x60x25 fan to shove on the MXC370 to save my sanity. Any suggestions?

    MSI Pro2A Bios Fried...Help with IWILL KK266 plz?

    Well, livebios killed my Pro2A bios, so I sent it for an RMA. I'm trying to use an IWill KK266 for the time being (plan to return to Fry's when i'm done with it); however, I can't boot. Lights go on, power flows, fans spin, drives spin, and I can hear the memory testing, but I get no video, and...

    MSI K7T PRO 2A ram?

    Same thing happened to me, actually, w/Crucial RAM. A quick switch of the clear BIOS jumper fixed it.

    Have to get this computer shipped out today and don't have time to pick up some more Arctic Silver. I have some Heat Sink Grease from Circuitworks, stable from -40C to 172C, guaranteed not to dry out, harden, or melt. I know grease is supposed to dry out on TBird because of the extremely hot...
