    Modstream or Powerstream

    im very pleased with my OCZ powerstream 600W, its under a lot of load. stable rails, and if they go below spec, then you can always bump them up. ;)

    HELP: Overclocking P4 3.06 Northwood

    the pentium 4 can handle up to 70C before it starts throttleing. also do you have HT enabled on the cpu? if so then you should run two instances of prime95. if you get a constant 65C+, then i would consider upgrading the cooling.

    My Computer ina few months

    see if you can get some better quality ram, you will have to set it to 5:4 to get more of an overclock. im not ocmpletely sure about this, but i think a64's are pretty picky then it comes to ram.

    1700+ @ 2.1ghz

    i remember back in the day there were a bunch of 1700+'s released that were truely ment to be like 2200+ or something like that, they just didnt meet the amd temp specs, so they dropped it down to 1700+. good show, so looks like you got one of those, if so, then you have more headroom than just...

    Fastest Way To Transfer Files Between 2 Computers?

    agreed, but if you do not have one, and its not too far away, then a crossover cable can be used, thats what i use to transfer large files from my laptop to my desktop and vice versa. network wise, remote desktop is pretty fast, granted you are on a fast network.

    Will RAM ever replace the hard drive?

    it might as the main component, but when you restart or powerdown the system, the data in the ram must be written to a non eraseable source, such as a hard drive or flash memory.

    Chipset fan too noisy--solutions?

    if you have a extra 3 pin fan that you dont use at all, then you can splice the wires, and use a fan speed controller to regulate it. i did that to my 120mm, which had a 4 pin molex, works great.

    Ram Sinks or Heat Spreaders?

    sinks, since they dont transfer heat inbetween chips, and they have fins, which will improve heat dissipation

    New PSU necessary?

    the minimum you need to oc effectively is about 22+ amps on the 12v, i would suggest a OCZ powerstream. i have the 600 watt powerstream, and rails dont drop more than .01 volts on the 12v rail and the 5 and 3.3 are stable as hell.

    normal to go from 29C idel to 49C load?

    yes it is, but the main question is, after load, how quickly does it go back down to the idle temp, if its quick, then you have a great HS/Cooling, if not, then you should consider upgrading cooling.

    Is it worth to upgrade p4 3.2 to amd 64 3500

    ^^ agreed. only upgrade if you play alot of games, if not, then there is no point yet, you will not see a huge performance increase. i think that anybody with a 3+ p4 or 64 should switch, there isnt any boost except maybe in gaming (intel-->amd), or in multitasking (amd-->intel).

    Can't get heatsink off CPU

    havent read the whole thread, but here is my way to get a heatsink off anything quickly, just for refrence: take a hair dryer, set it to the highest setting, turn it on, blow hot air over the heatsink for about 2-3 minutes, then try pulling it off. you should use some kind of gloves, cause...

    Looking for a top notch HSF . . .

    i have never had any problems with my sp-94, it has .14 C/W, but the xp-90 is .13 C/W so i say either of those are amazing. btw, they are both thermalright, if you didnt know. cheers edit: here is the info and specs HERE

    Finally, socket 479 Pentium-Ms on socket 478s!

    very interesting, but do you think that this will allow high overclocks? i personally dont think so. since mobile processors not only change the multi when not i use, but also the voltage, then consider this: if you overclock to something alittle high running at about 20% increase, when the...
