Anyone familiar with Asus Q-Fan Control stuff?
I just setup this machine with what you see in my signature. Now my question is do I leave Q-Fan Control On with Standard setting or should I turn it off. I tried running Prime95 and the temp got to around 70c and the fan never moved from 1100rpm...
Here is the link to the Guide, I was going to ask the same question. I have another question, Do I need to have Rivatuner running when I am not gaming?

Would love to grab a card that will allow me to play alot of the current PC Games but it's mostly for L4D. My PC is listed below in my sig, I would like to keep it to $80 @ Newegg if possible.
I am building a PC for a friend and would love to give them room for upgrades.
I was thinking of a Gigabyte EP43-DS3L $80, Intel Dual Core E5200 $78.50 and Kingston 2GB PC6400 $27
This would leave them with the option to go with a Core2Duo/Quad-Core and 4GB if they decide to go Vista...
Should have been install_flash_player & Shockwave_Installer_Slim. I have never installed them with either IE7 or Firefox running, It has never allowed me to.
You can also do "about: plugins" (Should be together) in Firefox and it will bring up a page that shows you all the plugins installed...
Thanks for your reply, Since you told me it had something to do with my ram I went searching for the problem. I found the issue was inside the Motherboard Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T). I guess it's like a menu in the bios for overclocking options, It seems that loading the Optimized Defaults put...
When I turn my new machine on it seems to do a couple quick resets before booting up normally. I just setup the bios but I didn't even touch the overclocking options.

Alright I will take the plunge since I have the $$$ available now. I was just asking because I have read about hardware needing special drivers that support 4gb of ram. (TV Tuners/X-Fi) Also heard about issues installing Vista with 4gb and encountering BSOD's.
Thanks for encouraging words, I do have one last question. Does Vista 32bit still have issues with 4gb (2x 2gb) Ram?

Is 4gb even necessary, Would I be better served getting 2GB PC2-1066?
I have a friend who is willing to sell me a Phenom 9600 on the cheap. I am tempted but I was wondering if I should be worried that this chip has the TLB error. My question is should I be worried at all? I am looking into getting back into some light pc gaming and I do alot of video encoding.
Unfortunately those are above my price limit. I'm looking to spend $100 max including shipping and all. Budget is thin with these damn CA gas prices. =-X
Yeah I updated to 7.2.3.2 already, Sweet deal for a Nero 6 Express replacement. The only thing that I dont like is Showtime which is super crippled, But PowerDVD 5/6 seems like a better choice anyways.

Use First Class shipping which shouldnt be more than a buck.
Living in Los Angeles I get everything I order from them Next Day so long as I order before Noon. Only had 1 problem with them and they gladly refunded me back for shipping a D.O.A item back to them. :D
Today I installed a Sytrin Kuformula VF1-Plus and it dropped load temps 15c. I also noticed when I reseated the stock cooler that it offers the memory absolutely nowhere for the heat to be spread. Could that be the reason I was getting artifacts? I've been testing with Battlefield 2/3DMark05/05...
I killed the hotkey poller service and it ran Core 600mhz/Memory 700mhz. I played Far Cry for about 30minutes without any issues, the temps recorded by RivaTuner were about 2-3 degrees cooler. I will test it some more tommorow afternoon after I do a fresh install of windows. This install is from...
