Yeah, that's why I was kinda hesitant. The stock heat sink was half the height of the other intel stock heatsink. lol wasn't expecting that.

So, I just installed a q9550 and I'm just using the stock heatsink and testing the cpu a little bit to get an idea of the temp range. On idle I am around 35, 35, 37 and 37 for the cores using real temp. On full load I just tested for only about 30 minutes using prime95 and it reaches 70, 65...

yup that's what i figured. Upgrading the cpu is not an issue, just was wondering if I could hold off lol. I'm running a 6800 gt right now. What would you say would be the minimum cpu I should buy with that card? I was thinking next cpu I would purchase would be a core 2 duo 8400 or 8500?

Thought I would just post my question here instead of making a new post. I ordered a new video card, ATI 4890 and I wanted to know as well if it will bottleneck me that bad. I am running a P4 630. Haven't played games for the longest so had no need to upgrade but recently started playing WoW...

My friend just bought a usb drive and for some reason it is converting any file that is put on the drive to a .exe. I can't seem to figure our why it is doing this. I have reformatted it and looked for viruses on his comps but nothing has come up. Has anyone run into this type of issue or...

On my home computer I just have one hard drive. I connected the old hard drive to the same ide cable and set it as a slave. It recognizes it in bios but doesn't show up in windows. XP should be able to see it correct?

Seems my old post just got deleted. I posted about trying to retrieve old files from an old hard drive. I actually brought the drive home and slaved it to my computer right now which is running XP Pro. The hard drive shows up in the post screen when I boot up but I don't seem to see it in my...

I should have explained myself better. I understand the USB method that he is talking about but I need to get the file today. It isn't a personal computer, it is for one at my work and I don't have time to go out and buy an external enclosure at the moment. Is it okay to just slave the hard...

okay, I will have to keep that in mind for future reference. I will just have to connect it to the one computer in the office that is running win 2k. If it running the same os then it won't be a problem correct?

oh okay great, does it have to be a computer running windows 2k or can it be a windows xp computer?

Quick question, I need to search for files on an old computer that is running Windows 2000 but it is not booting for some reason. Is it possible to just take out the hard drive and slave it to another computer and search the hard drive for the file?

Yes, it shows up in the device manager. I will try to find the disk tools from the manufacturer's website.

I recently reformatted an old computer that had 2 hard drives. 1 Master and 1 Slave drive. I was in a rush and I didn't delete and reformat the slave drive. Now it isn't showing up in disk management or anywhere else. It does show up during the boot up screen and is present in bios. What...

It seems Dorgem is no longer available. Does anyone know of a good software program for monitoring using a camera? I am looking for something that streams on the internet but also saves the video on a hard drive. I will be using only one camera but I am in search of a good software. If...

Yeah, I was thinking that the video card could be failing as well. Just trying to get the most out of it. Don't want to invest in another AGP video card, the corruption is happening on the BIOS/POST screens. I will try those options and see if it works.
