    about lapping my P4 2.6C cpu

    about lapping my P4 2.6C cpu (its attached metal enclosure to be exact) I have read a half dozen articles about cpu lapping, and because nearly all of them say you can drop cpu temp by 5 deg Celcius, it seems like the thing to do. That is, I believe, if it is simple to achieve an effective...

    Fitting both 7000Cu & MCX159P into P4C800E- Dlx?

    Is it physically possible to fit a Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu CPU cooler & a Swiftech MCX159-P Northbridge cooler together (side by side) into the ASUS P4C800E-Deluxe mobo? As far as I know the only conflict in my pc is the possible dimensional conflict between these two units themselves, as they...

    11/16 of what?: BUYING... intake & exhaust fans

    Is there anything in Q-fan/Pc Probe/BIOS that pertains to the actual adjustment of any other of the fans besides the CPU_ fan? If not, this is good and bad news. Bad because my computer may burn up, and good because I won't have to worry about why from this point foreward. PS I think I have...
