Thanks!!

how's it done? Fine grain sand paper or something? Or does the surface have to be machined? Thanks, btw for the response. -Phib

I had the same question and also got no response...Let me know If you find anthing out. I love the HS, but the fan is a nightmare!! -Phib

I've seen the expression all over this group, and I cant figure it out... Your help is appreciated... -Phib

Just installed a Global Win WBK38 HSF with great results, all for about $20 from NewEgg. The problem is that now my computer sounds like a Jet Plane!! Who knows of a HSF solution that's a bit quieter, AND will fit my ASUS A7V266-E MoBo (the PAL 8045 won't, according to ASUS). Thakns in...

hi all. Can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem: In the last day, I can't Stdby or Hibernate my 'puter, running Win XP. The error msg states that the device driver for the communications port COM2 won't allow it. It advises me to update the driver, which, of course, does...

Acetone on the CPU?? Is that really safe?

cool. I'll replace the goo ASAP. Is it safe to scrape the old goo off the top side of the CPU (the side in contact with the HS) with something? If you have links to any sites describing the goo-application process, I'd love to see 'em. Thanks for the info! -Phib

I'm setup in Jumper free mode, so I'm not sure...I'll have to check when I get home.

not planning to OC. I have the stock HSF on there now and it runs 50-60C. I took the HS off once to change MOBO and just reused it with the same cooling compound as before, and actually wondered if not applying new goo would affect cooling. I'm not sure though. I;ve heard that it mostly just...

Repost from my thread a few minutes ago about the XP 1600+ running in the 50-60C range...

wow...thanks for the info. AMD says the chip is rated up to 90C but I thought this was too high... Whats the best HSF to get?

do I need to follow the chip temp on this card?

Chip is 1600+. not overclocked yet. Runs at 50C in idle, but up to max of about 63C in graphics-heavy games like Deus Ex and Falcon 4.0. Systems been stable tho. -Phib
