I have a 520w (+12V 33A) OCZ Powersteam non-sli version. The SLI version have +12V1 (20A) and +12V2 (18A). And I was wondering if I just used a dongle adapter if my psu would be able to cope with SLI 7900gs. I've read that a single 7900gs uses 22A but in SLI the requirements is only 28A. Does...

Could i just unplug the fan, and keep the heatsink on there as passive? Because the zalman cooler is incompatible with my mobo (i don't have the mounting holes)

I have an ABIT IC7-G Mobo and the fan is grinding (humming.) If i just remove it will everything be okay? Or do i have to get some kind of replacement? I've seen mobos without coolers on the NB and was just wondering if it was really necessary.

Why my PSU? It runs fine like it is...

"I am thinking about 115 centigrade " don't you mean fahrenheit?

I'm not sure why, but i had to reinstall windows to make my harddrives work. And i didn't pull a cable out of the way which got in the way of my cpu fan and made it stop spinning.

I have a Zalman CNPS7000AlCu CPU cooler, and i have 3 case fans, and my psu is a aspire 350watt (came with my case). I don;t wanna upgrade because i just upgraded alot of my componentsa few weeks ago, i'm kinda low on money. Do i need beter thermal grease? i'm using the stuff that came with...

Does my ovrclck need to be prime worthy? cause if not, then i could probablly jack the clock way up there. I use this to system to play games and occasinoaly do stuff like video editing.

My voltage was actually on 1.6500, but now it's on 1.575. My overclock (2.7ghz) won't run prime for more than a few seconds. But with the 1.65 volts it sould. Does it even need to be prime worthy? Should i try to bring the voltage on down to stock? (but wouldn't that be worse?)

microcenter has OEM samsung IDE drives for pretty cheap.

I'm running my pc3200 memory at 1:1, so it's actually underclocked but it has timings of 2-2-2-5. If i lower my voltage then my overclock won;t be prime worthy, but i'll try it. Why would 1.65 volts be max if it's 57 degreese at full load, that's not too hot is it?

i'm afraid to pump too much voltage into it...is 1.625 too much or can i go to 1.7+ my mobo goes up to 1.9 volts

restore stock speeds and retest with sandra, see if that helps.

Hi i'm a new guy atound these parts and was lookinf for some help from those far greater than I. My specs are in my sig. I'm using a 2.4B (533fsb). The default voltage is 1.525 and i have mine on 1.625...and i get an overclock that is 2.7ghz. Full load i run about 57-58degrees. It's mostly prime...
