Best AM2-AM3 heatsink available for the moment. Replace the stock fan tho. First installation might be a pain if you don't like to remove your motherboard, but after that, it's easy to use.
I have a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus which uses a multisocket compatible backplate allowing you to install the cooler ONLY in EAST/WEST position on AM2-AM3 motherboards and any position on 775. It's also compatible with 1366 and 1156. You'll want to buy another fan with it tho, as the stock one...
I read that at page 2 in this article : http://www.bit-tech.net/hardwa...ncool_metal_boned_k7/1
Lancool probably made the modifications afterwards or the reviewers are complete twats.
As for changing them, I'm really picky about fans, that's why, I'll probably use the stock ones for a...
Is it possible to change the two intake fans for regular 25mm ones such as Scythe S-Flex or Yate Loon D12SL? I ask this because I've read the front fans are actually 15mm thick ones so I would require some modding to swap the fans.
If you can't change them without modding the HDD Bay, can you...
I've played Supcom on GPGnet a lot last year (410 ranked games, went into top 50) with a X2 3800. I didn't know that my CPU was the bottleneck until I changed to a X2 5000 BE @ 3.2GHz. The 1.2GHz bump made me realise how CPU bound this game is...
A Q6600 oc'ed will crap on any dual core...
That's the best way to bench this game. The simulation speed is independant from the FPS. Simulation is the work that is concentrated on the CPU. Setting it at X10 forces the simulation to go up to 10X as fast. If the CPU becomes incappable of simulating at X10, it will drag down to X9, then X8...
I had that problem once. I never found the damn hidden process so I just formatted. It took me like 2 mins to get to the Login screen because if it too...
The onboard sound was the cause for my super hyper frequent BSODs. When I switched to the X-PLOSION, it all stopped... Even oc'ed, the board was much more stable!
A PCI soundcard is really worth it. Even an old Sound Blaster Live 5.1 sounds better when using analog output than the wannabe HD audio you can find on virtually every motherboard. It is true that alot of speakers won't reflect the benefits of a dedicated sound card, but if you have spent over...
