    Cooler Master Fan Controller $4.99 at SVC

    Just received mine and I am happy so far. Just to let everyone know,(didn't see it mentioned anywhere) it comes with four extensions to connect to your fans, and I had no trouble connecting it to all of the fans in my case.

    Tagan 480W for $78.00 - Free ground shipping

    tomshardware Tomshardware had the same problem I had with mine. I had a tagan that I bought from ajump and it died about 2 months later. You would be much better off with a more respected brand(and there are a lot of options in this price range).

    GIGABYTE GA-K8NF-9 w/ x800 pro

    1. 6800gt would be better. 2. 800 mhz hypertransport speed compared to 1000 mhz in ultra and sli. 150 mbps sata vs. 300 mbps in ultra and sli. Generally same performance. 3. I have that ram and it works fine in dual channel mode.

    gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 help (nforce4)

    Wow, thanks for the info guys. I tried putting it in slots 1 and 3 and it lowered it by about 1400. So I am pretty sure its running in dual channel mode. Looks like from what you guys said, it has to do with ram timings and double sided ram. Whats wierd is that cpu-z says its running at...

    Thanks for the info pctennys I didn't know ram timings would make 1000 mb/s difference. You think that makes much of a real world difference?

    gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 help (nforce4)

    Thanks for the reply Rand, some quick questions. So any ideas on what could be the problem? What kind of ram are you using? Did you put it in slots one and two? Did you make any ajustments in the bios after you started your computer?

    GA-K8NF-9 Issues

    First make sure everything is plugged in securely, then set the cdrom to boot first (disable second third and fourth boot devices, just to be safe) also make sure you have your master and slave settings correct on the cd rom drives.

    gigabyte GA-K8NF-9 help (nforce4)

    Good point, I also noticed that on the same benchmark, it showed something like 75% bandwidth efficiency, while my athlon xp rig got something like 98% efficiency. Mainly I was wondering if I did something wrong in the bios, or made a wrong choice with my ram (2x512 corsair value ram) thanks

    Tinkered with PSU fan and now PC won't even POST

    The EXACT same thing happened to me with my tagan power supply(all lights were lighting up, but nothing on the screen). I then switched power supplies with a old one I had and everything worked fine. Still have no idea what happened to my tagan, any ideas would be helpful.

    Hercules Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb 256bit $187.94 shipped

    I am not sure I want to overclock. I just installed it and played a few games, and the copper cooler on the back of the card was very, very hot, hot enough it would probably burn my hand if I kept it there. Is this normal for a 9800 pro?

    I ordered mine thursday afternoon, and they just shipped it monday(21st), via UPS ground. I was a little dissapointed on how long it took them to ship it (I guess I am just used to newegg). However the order tracking says it should arrive on the 23rd.
