    A8N-SLI and Kingston HyperX PC3200

    I'm mostly curious what kind of timings (using safe voltages) people with this motherboard/ram combination have achieved. I know the Kingston HyperX PC 3200 is rated at 2-3-2-6 T1, however I have been unable to reach these timings (Windows will not load, computer restarts over and over etc)...

    35ms LCD monitor + gaming

    It's a cheap Dell 15inc (E151FP) LCD monitor (free monitor upgrade with purchase of a computer).. and I see zero ghosting while playing Counter Strike. The response time is 35ms.. is this due to the monitor being so small? I know people complain about ghosting on the 19inc Dell 1905FP that has...

    Dell Ultra Sharp 1905FP

    Anandtech gave it a good rating, saying its above average compared to other monitors.. and that its on par with the much more pricey Samsung monitor with nearly identical specs.

    Vcore/Vdimm voltages

    I was wondering if there is any negative effect to using auto voltages when overclocking. Should I manually adjust or leave it on auto for the most optimal voltages for the settings? Just curious.

    Quietest yet most effective fans?

    I have a Coolermaster Centurion case, and the stock fans it came with seem to be fairly loud. I also have an Asus A8N-SLI so that little chipset fan isn't helping much, so I'm thinking I'll switch to the Zalman NB passive cooler. However I want to try replacing the 120mm exhaust fan and 80mm...

    CNPS7000B-Cu installation

    When installing this fan on my A8N-SLI.. should I put small cloth washers between the board and the 2 metal thumb screw things the fan screws in to, and on the other side between the board and back plate? Or does it really matter at all. Just wondering cause tightening it semi-tight seems like...
