    Drilling holes in case to add a side fan

    This is just an idea, that is all. While my case isn't THAT loud (yet), I do admit it is becoming on the noisy side. However, I play my games and MP3's loud, so it drowns out the fans. The noise is still tolerable, either way (my case is located on a shelf under my desk). I am not going to...

    Drilling holes in case to add a side fan

    ?? No, I have a power supply (Deer 300W AMD approved) with fan, a second fan below it sucking air out, a front case fan sucking air in, and a slot coolr under my AGP card, blowing the air from that card, out. I just want to know whether I should put the fan that is out of an old PS above my...

    P3 processor life expectancy

    I had my 300A@450 for about a year, with no problems. I now have a Duron 600 only because I saw that these puppies could overclock nicely (not to mention that my proc was slow compared to what was out there). With AMD stating that they will release a faster CPU every 5-6 weeks in 2001, this...

    Duron 600 @ 650, @700 wont post....core voltage?

    Must be nice! I just got my Duron to 650 with a 1.75v w/generic heatsink/fan. I tried increasing voltage and multiplier, but with a multiplier of 7.0, my monitor (Optiquest v75) sits there with a 'No Signal' while my computer sits there. Can I possibly post any higher, or must I wait for my...

    Drilling holes in case to add a side fan

    My brother removed a 120mm fan from a 300W PS I had, and I am considering adding it to the side of my case. I cleaned it up and saved the screws and grille, but it also has two loose wires. I have a PS extender with a two pin extension on that (purchased 'em from 3dfxcool awhile back). I am...

    FOP32 vs FOP38-7K vs Platinum Orb - For a "Duron Socket A"

    The FOp32-7K is on Tweaktown's guide to Socket A coolers. That is where I got that reference from. I went to Coolerguys.com and ordered an Alpha PAL6035. They have them in stock. I think that would be a sweet one to get, albeit at a heightened price.

    how to clean dust-caked fans?

    One other thing you can do, if you feel up to it, is remove these fans and clean them with a damp/almost-dry cloth. I did this for my front and back fans. I also found that my front fan was grinding because it had been leaking oil. I peeled back the sticker, removed the cover for the bearing...

    Which heatsink/fan should I get for Duron 600 & ASUS A7V?

    Now, where the hell can I actually buy the Alpha cooler? I, unfortunately, cannot find it in Canada, and am having a hell of a time finding a shop in he states that has them in stock. Hell, even the Global Win is out-of-stock in Canada! Any URLs?

    Weird problem with Annihilator 2

    Um, you MAY want to reinstall Windows again, just to ensure that there is no 'residue' from the FastTrax drivers.

    Weird problem with Annihilator 2

    I've had the same problem you had. I would be playing Diablo2, then my monitor would go blank. This was in my ol' Celly 300A@450. Never really got a right answer. I'm using the Detonator 3 drivers, and this problme has disappeared. I also read at the Hercules site that, sometimes, the refresh...

    Which heatsink/fan should I get for Duron 600 & ASUS A7V?

    I'm thinking the Aplha PAL6035 or the GlobalWin FOP32-7K, but isn't there a new Alpha entering the market in a couple weeks? Thanks
