Thanks, That is what I thought, as long as the coa is geniuine. Which brings a question. Anyone have any luck with getting these COA's from a reputable online dealer. I was looking at componentsdirect.com and powerstartpc.com. Neither of them have a good reseller rating right now. Anyone...

Hey gang, I have what I think is a simple question, but I haven't seen it from the searches I just did. I have a pc that I have win xp home installed. I bought the full OEM version when I bought a new processor. Now I want to upgrade the second pc that I have in my home that the rest of the...

Well I have indeed downloaded the utilities and everything checks out and is "re-certified" by the factory by doing an extensive test. I am not sure what the test does thats so great but its just a mystery to me right now. Everything is backed up so I kinda want it to die so I can be certain...

I am interested in this subject as well. I have a 20gb quantum fireball as2 that on occasion has stopped spinning. You can hear a "click" and then the drive whining down as the rpms drop - then it locks up and I have to reboot. Usually It comes back up with no problem. Last time it went down...

I think the answer to that question is "it depends" For the most part if you can try it each way. I just got a new sk6 which I used my volcano II fan. It works really well, but I had the idea of trying it on "suck". For me it works better (1-2 degC) It is a little louder...

MrCide I am thinking about getting a delta and running at 5 and 7v possibly. What rpm does the fan run at at each of those voltages? I have a volcano II fan that pushes 25cfm at most which is ok, but if I get a delta and run it at 7v will it be better or worse? Thanks,

You are not kidding! I too just got the SK6 and it has a heinous machining swirl mark right in the center where the die would contact the heatsink. I lapped mine and started with 400 wet dry and it was massivley concave. I could not even it out. I had to back down to 220 dry first. That did...

Hmmm, I have the same board and have used bios 2.4, 2.5 and currently using the overclockers 1.6. I have had voltage control on all of them. Sounds like you may have a bad board I guess?

Anyone??? Help me please (Bueller?)

Hey all, I posted this last night in the mobo area I didn't get much help so I thought I'd put it here since this may be related to overclocking my system. I am in my third month of running this board in my rig and all has been fine until lately. I am running the overclockers bios 1.06 and...

Bump, Please Help! Anyone? Or should I post in the overclocking forum?

Hmmm, I read you link and I'm a little miffed, but besides one person's email response from MSI there did not seem to show any official info on this and why it would not - Unless I missed something. Let's hope some others have some more information. Until the Atlon 4 comes and is widely...

Hey all, I am in my third month of running this board in my rig and all has been fine until lately. I am running the overclockers bios 1.06 and have been running at 933mhz on an overclocked Duron 750. When it was a little cooler I was running solid at a gig, but I occasionally had heat...

Hey, I have that board and the same question. No matter what I do I can't seem to get them on separate irq's.

Ive seen some reviews of the silverado noise control and I think that zalman flower that show that they come with 3 pin adapters with built in resistors of varying values so you can tailor the speed of your fan from 12v to 6v in 2 volt increments. Has anyone seens these available by themselves...
