I have the 4 80mm fans on my sx1040b, along with a 120mm intake for the pci/agp, and one 92mm chimney up top. They are all panaflo's and run quite. I also did some led modding to it. I have an led hidden behind each grate up front, one on each side. they pan up and down in parellel like the...

Oh, and it kicks the P4-1.5Ghz' ass in SiSoft Sandra in everything but memory bandwidth. Hope that helps your decision. -Raven

I got a TBird 1000 retail from www.compuplus.com for $199 it came in 2 days of ordering and it is presently overclocked to 1.2Ghz using default voltage, and an Alpha pal6035. They seem like a great company, good prices they answer the phone calls, reply to emails, and ship promptly. My MB is...

www.millisec.com sells some all copper video coolers that beat the blue orb.

well, that is why you pay them to make it for you, cause I do not want to do it myself.

check out the shims at http://www.overclockershideout.com/ they seem very nice

Mike, would that clear nail polish thing work to protect the bridges? Could I paint over the L1 bridges with nail polish after I unlock it with the defogger kit?

So, by getting the shim, all he is doing is insuring that he won't crack the core? I guess that might be worth the $10, but we were kinda hoping it would do a little more than that. Hmm, I guess he'll just have to settle for a core that isn't broken rather than a cooler CPU. :(

So the only part of the CPU that gets hot is the core(the blue or green part)? The rest would not bennifit from any sort of cooling? Just trying to straighten things out.

Hi, My friend is building a TBird system, he amazingly found a Alpha PAL6035, he also bought a Copper shim for it. We were wondering if he needs to put thermal paste between the shim & the CPU, and the shim & the Alpha. If he did this would this aid in the cooling of the TBird...

You shouldn't have any problem there, I have 2 sticks of PC100 ram, one micron stick, and one generick, both are stable at 124mhz @ 3-3-3. They will do 129mhz, but they become a bit iffy for stabillity. Good luck

Thankyou, finally I got a responce I was looking for. Maybe I'll be buying that 800E soon. Else I am going to wait for a t-bird w/ddr.

Yes, the generic Geforce HS/Fans are just CRAP!!! I have an Asus V6600 Deluxe, and that thing ran at like 140-145F under full load. That is Very HOT! Soon after, I removed the stock HS/F, cut apart an old P2 HS and used most of it for the core, and the two side pieces I cut off for the Ram...

I am going to buy a P3-800E and was wondering who has had success with either Retail or OEM cpu's? What would you recomend from an overclockers viewpoint?

Thanks for your help, but what I am really looking for is someone who is running one of the "unsupported" CPU's(750 or 800). That is, the default CPU clock speed is 750 or 800mhz. It is good to know that you can overclock beyond what they support, but I just really want an example of...
