I am worried about the conductivity. Any suggestions about what to use? However, I'm also worried about mechanical force. I don't want to overtighten the backplate onto those (capacitors?, connectors?).
Question re: the use of the backplate. My Asrock didn't come with a backplate, but I had an old one from a Zalman 7000. I'd like to mount the 7000 using the backplate, but I noticed that there's some contact between some motherboard components and the metal part of the plate. Is it safe to...
Well, my trusty setup has lasted me with minor upgrades for the past two years. However, I think it's about time to retire it and go for something better. As it's difficult to find any Athlon XP Socket A CPU's anymore, my old MSI KT3-Ultra (Via333 chipset?) is pretty much obselete. I need...
My FIC Cube uses a squirrel cage type fan that I don't use because it's just too friggin loud. Even without the squirrel cage, I'm probably pushing 40+db with the cpu fan and the power supply fan. I won't be able to do anything aobu the PS fan, but I just need some extra cooling in addition to...

I have about 2.5 inches of clearance between the motherboard and the hd case. The Zalman may be the right size, but it's much too big in diameter.
Are there any after market solutions to help quiet my FIC Cube? It's hideously noisy. There's not much clearance between the HD and the CPU for a big heat sink.
Haha, I spoke too soon about the "need" part. The discussion earlier was leaning towards games, and you really don't "need" to play games. Any computer less than 3 years old can handle basic computer tasks (email, internet, basic word processing). I'll have to disagree about the reformat...
You never really "need" faster hardware. It's just nice to have, but it helps to justify cost/performance ratio if you look at it as a capital purchase sometimes. My install date on my current rig is 09/02/02. It was originally a 1600+, but I took advantage of a 2400+ on sale at Fry's for $79...
I'm trying to justify picking up a Athlon 64+ SLI system, and I'm trying to remember how long I"ve been running my current rig (AMD 2400+, MSI KT3-Ultra, Geforce 4200) to help justify the $400+ it's going to cost to get the latest and greatest. Which file in my Windows directory are dated to...
My mobo monitoring software is reporting that my 5-V rail is only spitting out about 4.6V. All my other rails are running at or extremely close to their stated voltage. Is this significant enough to worry about? What devices are powered by my 5V rail? I'm thinking I maybe I have too much...
After the first copy, it will make a copy of the files on your hard drive. All you need is Nero or some other DVD Recording program that can do DVD-Video files. Drag the video files into the Video_TS folder and burn away.
I'm trying to get my site listed in google and other search engines, but I'm having trouble finding some decent information. Any google search of search engine optimization leads to lots and lots of spam or companies that want to charge you money. Does anybody have any good links to good...
