i have a 2.53 p4 running at 3.001GHz, stock hsf in an asus p4b533-e. removed the copper plate from the bottom and used heatsink paste from alpha, it works great. i play tribes2 all day with no problems, very stable. have not ran any benchmarks, but my cpu fluctuates between 114 to 118 degrees...

that does not seems normal. i have the same psu and it is not even warm at all, running three disk drives, asus p4b533-e and other hardware in a lian-li pc-71 case. you might want to reseat 20 pin plug that goes to your mb, it is a shot. otherwise, i would return the psu or have it fixed. and...

some static bags are conductive.

try using electrical tape.

gil, why don't you put it back to the old system and see what happens. seems like this is the only chance you have left to see if your data is still intact.

I picked up a Cendyne 48x12x48 from Staples today for $59 after rebate. But what I got in the box was a 48x16x48. I do not think it was made by Lite-On. The model number was CW4802, looks like it was made by Optorite or MSI by comparing pictures and specs. Is this drive any good, has anyone...

mr. beetle, return it, it is not yours. you would feel better and he would treat you better the next time you needed his help. if you were in his shoes, you'd felt the same way.

same thing happened to me last week. all i did was reseated everything and cleaned the inside of my pc case including the psu. i guessed pc's needed preventive maint. from time to time.

try this site, i mod my other psu and it works. now i just need to modify my case to accomodate my 2nd psu. http://www.speedy3d.com/articles/case_mod_p3/index.shtml

flippy, here is the site where i got my antec tp550, real good price, too. http://www.provantage.com/

if it is quiet enough for you, don't mess with it. opening the psu will void it's warranty.

i have the antec pp403 and the fan plugs to a thermal board and the thermal board has wires that plug into the power supply board. you can bypass the thermal board and plug the fan directly to the psu board but the fan will run at full speed. replacing the fan in this psu is really easy. what...
