    Cooler CPU temp where rear fan blows in

    I just realized today that my rear fan is blowing the wrong direction. When I turned the fan around however, my cpu temperature went up about 5C to 54. When I run under a heavy load my CPU heat goes to 59C. So far my machine seems stable under the heavy load.

    Does XBox come with S Video Cable???

    Title says it all. All all the preorder sites trying to get you to buy accessories that you don't need. What exactly do the Advanced AV and Advanced RF packs do?

    Where can I download Solaris 2.6 I386

    Thanks for your help. It may be slow but I will still give it a try. My ASUS A7V133 is not on the HCL among other hardware in my current computer. I also don't want to mess up my Win2K install. Only my old Gateway will work so I guess I will give it a try. Do you know any sites to download...

    Where can I download Solaris 2.6 I386

    I need to learn Solaris for work. Is 2.6 and 8.0 two different flavors or is 8.0 a higher/newer version. They skipped some numbers. Don't know if it was a marketing thing. I think we use 2.5 at work. Are the i386 versions similar so I can practice a home. I have already checked the hcls...

    I got the PD 12x10x32 last week. There web page states that they match Sams club & Price Club. I printed out the Sams Club Web Add and looked up their phone #. The Circuit City Manager called them to verify that that was the price and that it was in stock. I don't think the manager I...

    AMD 1Gig Processor running too hot??????

    I have a Thermaltake Volcano 2 and a 1.2 Ghz Athlon. Is that fan loud or what!!! My temp was between 49 - 54 C depending on how hot of a day it is and how hard I am running the CPU. I took off the Heat Sink/Fan to find that the thermal pad melted away from the diode. I scraped off the pad...

    Processor Not Multiplier Locked

    Thats cool. That way they will never know if I overclocked or not costing me my 3 year warranty. Anyone else have any insight on whether AMD links the bridges for you.

    Processor Not Multiplier Locked

    Just bought a Retail 266Mhz FSB 1.2Ghz Thunderbird from NewEgg. I was able to change my CPU Multiplier without linking the bridges. I have an ASUS A7V133. What could cause this?

    DVD blowout at 800.com! HOT!

    I don't see why everyone always gets so offended by reposts. If you have already seen the post ignore it. If you haven't then check it out. Some of us have lives and don't spend the entire day in the hot deals forum. This makes it easy to miss a good deal. Just my 2 cents

    Where can Fong Kai cases be bought?

    Check out Directron Directron is the cheapest place to get it. Just got one of those myself. I have been very happy with it. The only negative is that it is very hard to open and close the side. They made it a tight fit to give it good air circulation. Make sure you have some WD40. So far...
