    Zalman CNSP7000B-AlCu

    Hey All, I currently have a Zalman CNSP7000B-AlCu heatsink/fan combo. I'm curious if this will be a good cooling device for the new 3800+ AMD Chip (Venice core). Or if I would be better off getting one of the XP-120 heatsinks. I will get the new heatsink if needed, but I'm hoping this one...

    Possible stupid question

    For the life of me, I can't remember if this matters or not. I have 2 SATA hard drives and two IDE cdroms in my machine. Does it really matter if the IDE drives are plugged into the the Primary or Secondary IDE ports? I just thought I would ask cause I can't remember if this is the right...

    Could Bios Temps be off?

    Hi All, I noticed last night with my new Neo4 plat mb and AMD 64 3500+ (this is the 90nm model) that the cpu temps seem to hover around 28C for idle, and when I tried out Fary Cry the temp only rose to about 31/32 C. To me that seems a little low, I mean don't get me wrong amazing temps, but...

    Driver/Temp Questions

    Hi All, I have what may seem like a dumb question. I just recently built my computer with a MSI Neo4 Platinum/SLI motherboard, and I went through and did all the drivers off the MSI cd. Now being that I installed that, would it be wise to download the Nvidia nForce4 Standalone Kit and...
