    Prescott, Intel 915PBL, and Zalman question

    Same mb with 3.4. Idle temp depends a lot on room temp. Mornings my room is cooler and idle at 42/42 C and late afternoons may idle 46/47 C. Under load maybe 52/53 C. I have a XP120 on mine.

    Question about Firefox

    I have two computers with Firefox 1.0.4 on them. On the one my son uses when you click on a topic and read it and return to the forum, the topic changes to a dark color to indicate you have read that topic. On my computer, the topic does not change colors. It looks like you never read that...

    Adding 2nd HD??

    When I put the system shown below together, I did not install the Raid drivers that came with MB, as I had not thoughts of putting in another HD. I ran across a really good deal on another Seagate 160 HD just like the one in system, and am considering installing for backup of my C drive as well...

    Update P3 computer

    My son's computer is a p3 intel mb 933, 133 bus, 256 cache w/ 3 256k mem chips. Mb doc's say it will support a 1.2 133bus 256 chip. He has a friend trying to sell him a chip for $45. My question, will he notice a big change going from 933 to l.2? Thanks

    socket 775 heatsinks

    The thermaltake helped. I don't play games, so I do not put a heavy load on it. Surfing web and using word processing, my cpu temp's are 50-54 C. Idle around 48C. Just thought I would play around and see if I could get to low 40's.

    I have the same setup as you. Just ordered the XP120. I'll post how it does when I get it and install it.

    CM Stacker or Lian Li 7B Plus?

    I followed the instructions you showed "charlietee" both times I installed the Thermaltake recently. Pulled it back off and checked the contact patch of AS at that time and it looked just like the picture you referred to.

    CM Stacker or Lian Li 7B Plus?

    As shown in my sig, I have the Thermaltake Silent 775 CPU Cooler already. Going along with your idea of cooling the back side, does the cross flow fan in the CM Stacker blow across the top or back of mb?

    CM Stacker or Lian Li 7B Plus?

    My system is shown in sig. My temps are higher than I would like - CPU runs around 50C. My current case has 2 front 80's and 1 side 80 intake; and 2 80's and 80 top exhaust. Thinking of switching cases for more air flow to see if it will run cooler. Thoughts???

    LGA775 3.4Ghz 800Mhz FSB Temps

    The Thermaltake Silent 775 CPU Cooler fit my Intel MB 775 socket with no problem. Dry fit, so you which way to turn to clear things on the board. Mine would only fit turned one direction.

    LGA775 3.4Ghz 800Mhz FSB Temps

    Check my system below. My CPU temp idles 42/43 and rarely gets over 50. 3.4 Prescott w/lM cache. The new HS helped a lot.

    No Hard Drive busy light

    I just built the system below and everything works except the busy light for when the HD is in use. This is my first experience with an SATA HD. Does that have anything to do with light not working? Not that it is necessary, but would like for it to do what it supposed to do.

    New LGA775 Cooler. Does anyone have this?

    I pulled the stock from my 3.4 775 processor and replaced with the Thermaltake Silent 775 CPU Cooler you are looking at. My temps dropped 7-8 degrees idle and 10+ stressed. I'm sold. It is not as quite as I had hoped; but, I can live with it. I have the stock on if anyone is interested.
