one last thing, I have the same case.. 300W ps. all fans installed

oh btw I hope you weren't saying that you were running your atholon without a HSF first.. then you added the coolermaster, because not having a HSF on a chip is a no no.. I have a coolermaster on mine also, and it does me fine. my extra case fan took off 10 F before I ocd, but that was because...

My temp is 133 F with it usually at 123, I have 2 case fans, and a average HSF that is AMD recommended. People tend to want to have extremes while the cooler the better your current temperature isn't near the treshold, and why an increase of 10 C from the norm can shorten the life of your CPU...

I had the problem before I installed ME. I spoke to HP before I installed ME, this is an ongoing problem with this board for me. RIFT

I have a hp 9100i cd rw, and on my BX board I had no problems with it (p2 400). Now I have a A7V duron 700 combo, and it causes an OE exception if I try to read a disk. Pnp detects it, its fine unless I do a read. Usually this is to do with slave/master settings. But I have it on a seperate...

Current quality boards have ata100 controllers. If you have using only a single ide drive on a channel, it will not use even close to that no current ide drive gets that 100MB/s (highest is around 44MB/s I think) throughput. I have seen some site claim this but that isn't the deal, you think...

I've tried all manner of setups for the drive, funny thing is that it blue screens when you try to read to it, which is some software/drive conflict, hp customer service /business tactics are evil. RIFT

Well People say that most pc100 memory can run at 133 with no problem, I don't know about that, but if you don't want to risk ruining your memory. You can run your bus at 100, and put both in, which should work. If you want to be more risky you can run it at 133 and try to see if both works...

Toro It goes to blue screen with any cd read, not even talking about burning here. In the pass on the old system I burned with Nero and Adaptec no problem. My problem is as soon as I try to read anything I get a blue screen, looking through the forums, it seems that ASUS has problems with the...

I have had this drive for about 6 months, with no problem. I had it in a bx intel setup, now I bought a new a7v with duron 700 and now it won't work. When I try to read anything from it, it gives a blue screen with some OE exception. I can't understand it. When I called hp support that you...

If you plan to oc then go OEM, since you plan to get your own hsf combo, the extra price from retail means nothing. As for warranty that also means nothing as soon as you open your cpu case to overclock, you void any warranty. Just save the money and go OEM, its the same chip. RIFT

Drives throughput haven't arrived at 66MB/s as yet, there is just the standard for that when it happens. The ata 100 is yet another standard to come in the future. With that said if the drive can't get 66Mb/s its obvious it wont reach 100MB/s (which is faster than ultra wide scsi). So the...

I forgot to mention OS is 98 se. I have the hd on the ata100 and the one cd one the primary ide and it seems to work now. Thats the way I have had it to get it to work, its running cool all the time so its fine at this point. I havent updated the bios but it may be the highest version. I...

(this is long but please read if you can help) you can post here and email to t-riftwalker@home.com I just got me a sweet a7V and duron 700 to go with that, I had a BX board with a p2400 before, and all I did was try to take my items out of that box and put it in the new one, here is the...
