thanks guys! one last question: if i wanted to re-attach the hs and only have one batch of compound left should i smear it thin across the cpu or should i just do a droplet and put on the cpu? the drop in the middle method doesn't work for me because i'm bad at the taking off and putting on off...

also, what would be a 'healthy' temp for an e8400 not overclocked under load for, say, like 30 minutes of playing battlefield 3

so while the computer was on sleep mode i tried pulling it out a bit to test it's tightness and it seemed tight, but i still pulled one of them out and pushed it back in and i'm floating around 60 celcius while playing bf3 now after playing for 5 minutes, which is much much better. i'll look...

the fan is running yeah, but for some reason it sounds louder than it did before i took it off the first time. i tried putting it in the middle and putting it on 4 times and when it didn't work i decided to clean a flat head with alcohol and smear it as thin as possible across the processor...

about a week ago i took off my stock heatsink from my e8400 and to dust it out. after i dusted it off i removed the old thermal compound that's been on there for 2 and a half years with an arctic silver kit (remover, purifier, compound/paste). 4 tries of this in a row and each time my computer...

yeah i thought about that right after i posted the thread...It's just that when i got my laptop it was already installed so i'm not sure what to do

I recently reformatted my computer and laptop with the same disc of windows 7 and was just wondering if that's what could be causing this repeating error message from windows saying 'Windows can not be activated' http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/717/counterfeiting.jpg/ Has anybody else...

can a p45 ds3l mobo run an I5 CPU?

yeah i've seen that my cpu is limiting me a lot, do you think i should try overclocking it and getting more cooling or just buying an i5 or something?

my power supply is the one that i linked above

So i just recently bought a "GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked EE 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card" off newegg 2 days ago for my computer tower and I was jut wondering what you guys think about it working well or not with this: --e8400 3.0 ghz CPU...

bump

I did,it all seems to be connected other than this 1.5-2ft long pipe (i assume is the centre section) that isn't connected or being held onto the rest of the exhaust. the middle silencer is disconnected and as far as my little to no knowledge about cars goes, everything looks undamaged. So i'm...

I live in the minneapolis area and we got hit by a big snow storm on saturday. I had to drive in the morning to work before the roads were plowed very well so I think when i had to drive through the harder, untrodden snow my (already weak) exhaust got scraped hard and popped off the exhaust...

So, is there a tutorial or somewhere to learn what to do in this game around at all? because I've played a lot of MMOs and this one is by far the most confusing haha
