Well I've cleaned it out and it was running much cooler, but now it's up to about 67 degrees again. This can't be good, I'm thinking of going ahead and get a new heatsink and reapply thermal paste. I'd like to think about overclocking my cpu, but I can't do that if it is running so hot. I'll get...

Ok, well I went through and did a quick clean of everything except the interior of the heat sink. I didn't take it out, quite frankly I had no idea. So I did that, cleaned the sys. fan and everything. The case temp dropped about 15 degrees c and the cpu is running at 59-64 degrees c now as...

Is there any area I should leave open? In the case for airflow?

Ok, well friday night I'll unscrew the heat sink, put it back on correctly, clean all the fans, take one of my mothers pantyhose and cut it up and put it on the fans. See if that does anything. I'm also going to get a few HDD coolers to keep the system temp down too. Thanks for the help guys!

Alright, I'll try cleaning them all. When that's done, how would I go about keeping dust out?

Well I'll try cleaning out my heatsink, and reinstalling it maybe. I have thremal grease applied to it already, but I'll put some more. See if I can get the temp to drop below 60 cels. Right now it runs between 68-72 degrees cels. The case temp is also pretty hot, but I think I may need a new...

Somethings going wrong with my 2500+, it's running too slow and way too hot, so I decided, instead of just getting a new heatsink, I'd get a new heatsink, and a new processer. I figured I would go one step up, but a friend told me to jump to the 2800+. Is this a good upgrade, worth the 35 bucks...

Thanks again, and I don't think I need to worry about heating, I have 4 fans and the most my computer is ever used is in photoshop or playing call of duty, even then it stays pretty cool.

Cool, thanks, so I should have no problem installing it.

Well, for me the performance of my compute is near perfection. I don't need anything too nice, maybe a new videocard and some more ram are in line. Aside from that, I don't have a need for anything more spectacular. Well now I'm on to making my case look impressive, to show off to my friends. I...

That was the problem, I couldn't download firmware updates (even though there werent any avaliable :( ) because it won't connect to the device.

I tried to reboot the player, that didn't work, so they told me to format, but it wouldnt connect to the computer so I couldn't install the os. Well I am going to try another one (along with a pci usb2 port) this way is should work. If it doesn't where can I get the flash or whatever to flash...

Technically speaking, the sound is better by statistics. And Nomad is the king of sounds, ask anyone who knows anything about mp3 players.

Now I'm wishing I had gone with the Ipod. Wednesday night I went to pick up my NX, and all was fine and dandy, got a nice new pair of headphones. So I went home, read the instructions and installed away. I installed all the software, drivers that came on the cd. After that, nothing worked. It...

I'll be picking mine up wednesday at the best buy too, it's only 249.99 for the Zen 20 GB. I was going to splurge for the 30 model, but I figured, I only have about 5 gigs of music anyways. I will probally get the 2 year plan too, we did that with a laptop my brother got, and he traded his in 2...
