    hi flow waterpump high flow water block

    Get the aqua extreme 50z from cooltechnica.com, Cathar seems to think it is about the best pump out and frankly he know more than all of us. It is great because if you need more flow you can do a 13.8 volt mod wich will give you considerably more flow.

    Also check your block mounting, and what voltage are you running at?

    A black ice micro is likely not going to give you as good performance as a xp90 with good fans.

    Ok, so my motherboard died

    People have been having problems with the latest batches of MSIs myself included as I have one in RMa right now. I replaced it with a epox9nda3+ and my overclock went up almost 100mhz and at .1 volt lower than my max over clock on the msi. The epox board is cheaper as well. Wait a few weeks...

    water cooling

    Go with the 50z, from cooltechnica.com, I have it and could not be happier. Now i am waiting on my g5 storm that i ordered but that will prolly be atleast 2 months lol. I think I am going to get a Lian Li pc-v1000 and redo the whole setup with a bix 2.

    i thought this case was pretty cool

    I have the silverstone tj06 which is the same case and it works well my ambient stays around 27c . You will need longer atx conectors as most power supplys will not reach the motherboard.

    Switching mother boards, do i need to reformat harddrive?

    My MSI K8N neo 2 platinum fried two of its ram slots so instead of waiting on an RMA on a mother board I was not to happy with i went with an Epox 9nda3+. The only drivers i have installed are the invidia drivers and since the chipsets are both nforce three do i need to reformat the harddrive...

    Undervolted vcore on epox 9nda3

    If it is prime stable don't touch it unless you overclock and only raise it to gain stability when it becomes unstable. Less is better.

    Buying a new CPU, please help... :)

    Go with niether, I just bought a 3500 and wish I bought a 3000 or a 3200. I can only get my 3500 to clock to around 2530ghz and almost all of the 3000 or 3200 do the same. 939 is likely the chip style the dual cores will come out on so i would stay away from the 3400. If you are not going to...

    Newbie needs general advice

    I wish I went with the EPOX board rather that neo platinum 2 (hard to get stable to me). I wish i went with a 3200 instead of a 3500 as i probably could have overclocked to exactly where i am at right now and saved 50-60 dollars. Make sure you go with a good power supply like an OCZ modsream...

    Athlon 64 3500+ OC?

    WInchester 3500 HTT: 250 CPU multi: 10 HT: 4 RAM: 1:1 2-2-2-8 @3.4 volts going to push for 260 in a few days, it is still burning in. VCore: 1.5 + 5.5% (CPUZ says 1.55 volts) I will be shooting for 2.6 but I think i will set up water cooling first. 29C idle 42-52C load.

    NV silencer 5 OR New Zalman VF700-Cu?

    If I put an aftermarket cooler on and the card fried I would send it back lol. Your logic is flawed because a properly installed cooler designed for the right card is not going to cause a graphics card to fail. I would put the stock heat sink on and get a replacement. It is kind of like when...

    MSi Neo2 Plat. won't post in Dual Channel please help.

    He is right, I had the same problem, the motherboard manual acts like for dual channel you need the ram in one and three wich does not work. Put them in one and 2 the two slots closest to the cpu it will work as dual channel then i promise. I had mine set up exactly like yours and switching...

    Some assistance please

    Have you overclocked your processor? If you have not? Then something isnt right. If you have what is your HTT (FSB)? If your HTT is at 200 you should be able to run your memory on auto at 200. Leave it on auto and see what cpuz says defaults are. Have you raised the voltage on your memory...
