    adjusting fan speed

    I have the stock intel/fan combo for my P4 3.0 socket 478 Northwood which runs too loud for my tastes. My tempuratures idle around 35C and can go up to 42C when pushed. At idle the fan is bearable, but after the computer warms up, it is too noisy. I have considered switching to a quiter...

    Loud stock fan

    I have built my first computer recently and have been hoping to make it quieter. I'm using the stock intel heatsink and fan for a Intel P4 3.0 chip and it revs around 2400 rpm's when the computer is at idle.

    computer building questions

    So thats what it is, custom pinouts. I never was satisfied with that answer about not being able to run a higher wattage power supply. I don't want to get involved with changing wires around but would consider upgrading to a Dell 300w power supply. Do you know if this would work?

    computer building questions

    Not true, I found out the hard way. Purchased a nice HEC 380w power supply to upgrade my working 200w ps and the computer would not turn on. I took my computer into the shop I purchased the power supply from and the tech checked my HEC power supply to make sure it was good, after it checked...

    computer building questions

    I will look into this. If I can find a prebuilt with the same specs and equal cost, than I will definately consider it. I don't mind that it is an old skool setup. Right now I am using a PIII 800 and am happy with the performance. The only reason I want to upgrade is because the Nvidia...
