I purchased a new APC backup power supply for my home gaming system. I attached this power supply to my system and turned it on (not reading the instructions "for charging the power supply for 8 hours FIRST") My system came up but failed during Boot. Being stupid I kept trying... System then...

Boy that sure doesn?t leave me any margin for OC does it. You say you have 4 fans, should I add another one in the 'roof'? Or should I look else where for better cooling? The Zalman web forum response was the same as yours "I?m ok"? I'm on Zalman's list for further correspondence concerning this...

Lost Circuits had a review of the ALL Copper version of this HSF and they found that the HSF "clamp" needed to be bent to make a tighter contact. They saw temp spikes in there testing. I don't see the spikes just a higher temp rise. They did a test of the Aluminum and Copper version (like mine)...

I have 3 case fans running at full rpm and my HSF is running at 2722 My case temp (inside) is 37 C. case is CoolerMaster ATCS

Thanks to all. Cleaned my HSF and CPU reapplied Artic Silver 3 and cranked it down tight. No change in temp's. Abit PC health System 36c, CPU 53c and PWM 37c. Hardware doctor 36 c System, 59 c CPU and 40 PWM. Room temp 77 F. Open to any fixes

I have been using Zalman Flower CNP7000-AlCu HSF on my Abit IC7-G main board with 2.8G P4. I have recorded CPU temperatures of low 40's degree C at idle to 55 degree C under SETI@home. These seem high with no overclocking. Is there anything I should be looking for to lower these temperatures? In...

Thanks that's what I thought, just looking for a way around reinstalling all my programs. Backup programs replace everything including the operating system. Thanks again:frown:

I have 3 hard drives C,Dand E. I load my operating system files on drive C. My program files on drive D and my data files/games on drive E. This way I can remove and reinstall my operating system without affecting my program files and data files/games. PROBLEM when installing program files they...

Thanks for the advice

I basically understand the RAID's But my question was with BOTH RAID 0 and 1 would the RAID 1 slow down the disk reading and writing that I would have gained with just RAID 0

I am setting up a new computer and would like info concerning a 4channel RAID. Raid 0 is stripping and writes alternet data to drive 1 and drive 2(?) Raid 1 writes all data to drive 3 and drive 4(?) My question is: RAID0 is fast because it spreads the writing between disk 1 and disk2, while...
