    Asus Probe temps

    i've been monitoring temps closely on my A7N8X-deluxe and have been wondering whether they are even remotely accurate... i have an athlon xp-m 2200+ (oc'd to 1.9 ghz, 166 fsb and 11.5 mulitplier if it helps). i have a zalman 7000b alcu and ceramique thermal compound. the ambient temp of my room...

    Hard Drive going bad?

    i'm no expert, and don't be surprised if i'm way off on this, but if all your data is still there, it can't really be the drives fault? maybe it's your RAM or somethign that's causing reboot. could you list your system specs so we know what we're talking about?

    Is this a good computer

    they are standardized in their hardware. u can install anything (video card, sound card, hard drive, cd drive, PSU (micro atx though) etc etc). though i doubt u can install a liquid cooling system =P

    Is this a good computer

    you should go with the the emachines. i actually own one of the more recent models (the new, non crappy models) they are fast, and read:VERY RELIABLE (left it on for almost a year, non stop, still going strong) and its not just me cause my friend owns a similar emachines and its just as...

    Zalman CNPS 3100+

    yeah, mine is asus a7n8x-e deluxe, it says it would work fine if the PSU isnt an obstruction. I have a Lian-Li PC65B for my case, and a Seasonic 300w tornado thing (forgot the name, lol) i think their should be enough room, does anyone know for sure it has enough room or should i just find...

    Zalman CNPS 3100+

    thanks alot for your advice! so i should probably go for a Zalman 7000B (forgot the full name) or the Thermalright SI-97A. these two should cool the athlon xp no problem right? even w/ overclocking? also, i've heard the Zalman 7000b is very difficult to install. is this true?

    Zalman CNPS 3100+

    Zalman CNPS 3100+

    Hi Everyone i'm running an athlon xp mobile system (2.1 ghz) and im looking for a new heatsink because my stock one is idling at 55C... i was originally thinking the thermalright SI-97A (the new one) but its not available in any store near me. then i noticed the Zalman CNPS 3100+ and was...

    New Build Look Ok?

    I would go with the Seasonic. they work just as well as any of the others and having a virtually inaudible PSU never hurts.

    Deciding on a Power Supply

    i'd pick the seasonic, cause they're more power efficient and inaudible in my system, but that's just me.

    i suggest getting a seasonic

    Question: CNPS7000B-AlCu in Lian-li case

    I have a Lian-li PC-65B, Asus A7N8X-E deluxe, and a seasonic 300 watt psu. im wondering whether or not the Zalman CNPS7000B-AlCu heatsink/fan would fit in my system without any obstruction. ive already visited zalman's site about this and it says its compatible if the PSU is not in the way. i...

    best prebuilt?

    try envisioncs.net i've purchased from them recently and they build very high quality systems. they're prices probably aren't as low as dell's hot deals, but this company is very reliable. tech support is amazing. they typically respond to an email within 1 hour (and mostly the person who...

    Just an opinion on my picks

    the antec sonata is proven to be a good product, as well as the PSU that comes with it. i've never researched the xion extensively but i've heard a few good things of their power supplies. i'd go with the sonata since a lot people have it and its known to be a good product. better safe...

    Will this PC suck? And CPU recommendations!

    by the time 64 bit becomes useful he should have enough cash to get a modern (at that point in time "modern") athlon 64 system. for now the athlon 64 is overkill for his needs and the athlon xp will be plenty adequate (since he doesn't do that much gaming).

    Thee Best Computer Specs

    i thought the 3700 was socket 754?

    Is my power supply dead?

    i think it's the psu. if the cpu worked fine at first and if you didn't do anything to the cpu i don't understand how the cpu could be at fault. from what i know, psu fail more often than cpu do (i could be wrong).

    Thee Best Computer Specs

    uh guys... what part of "The only guidelines is she wants a INTEL" do you not understand? if she wants an intel just get her an intel. if you get her an amd and it turns out subpar (though i doubt it will), she'll probably get pissed.

    Will this PC suck? And CPU recommendations!

    stick with socket A, get an athlon xp mobile and vid card (anything is better than an integrated gpu) i really don't understand why everyone is saying to get athlon 64 even though its obviously overkill for what he does.

    WHICH ONE WOULD I NEED? FORTRON? OCZ? ANTEC? COOLMAX? or THERMAL TAKE

    it should handle your rig. however it might be very loud, depending on how well your system is cooled. it worked fine for my rig, but that doesn't mean i promise you it will work fine for yours.

    WHICH ONE WOULD I NEED? FORTRON? OCZ? ANTEC? COOLMAX? or THERMAL TAKE

    the thermaltake is good (srry for the blank post), i know since i own one. its very solid and stable. (12v drops to 11.95 in worst case, 5v down to 4.999), the fan controller is good too, virtually silent at low speed, but VERY loud at top speed.

    problem w/ athlon xp mobile system

    thanks alot guys!! i finally got it fixed as per n0cmonkey's info. turns out the multiplier was set to 6.0 (although it was labeled "14.0x" in the mobo bios). i found that out after messing w/ the settings a lot and checking CPU-Z for the info. i tried changing the multipliers, but as i set...

    My take on SLI

    IMHO, i don't really think SLI is to save money... nor is it an upgrade path... it's more for enthusiasts that really want the frames/second to go as high as they possibly can. you say that 1 high end card can and will do the job of 2 medium grade cards. but what if you get '2' high end...
