    PCI-e Graphics Supplementary Power Connection

    I recently installed a Sunbeam NUUO 550 in my rig and had some problems with the 6 pin PCI-e connector. This is a modular PSU and there is a 6pin to 6pin connection that I hooked up to my 6800 gt. That end of the card began to overheat and my graphics intensive applications would not run very...

    ZALMAN CNPS7700-CU

    Just wondering if the the heatsink gets in the way of the RAM or if it extends past the board. THanks

    Heatsinks

    So if I have a metal backing plate I should be ok on the stress on the MOBO? Would this come with the heatsink theoretically?

    Heatsinks

    Hey, I am trying to clarify the reasoning for Zalman to make most of their parts in either all copper, copper and aluminum or all aluminum. I understand that copper is a better conducter while aluminum is lighter but are either of these enough to affect performance, stress on a vertical...

    Why are 512mb RAM chips standard?

    will having 2 different types of ram affect an overclock. to me it seems like the weakest link in the chain determines the strength.

    Why are 512mb RAM chips standard?

    I am curious why the 2x512 combination of ram is more common. I am looking into upgrading RAM, i have 4 dimms and 4 GB max ram. I would like to put in 2x102 ocz platinum but the timings on the rev 2 512 chips are a little better (2-3-2-5, to 2-2-2-5). Is this something that will affect an...

    Windows XP Professional x64 Edition: Drivers, Free Trials, and Availability

    I can't believe I just got a version of Windows for $12. That just made my day. I have 2 versions of 64 bit linux in the mail as well. I know the drivers and software are lagging but I am exited.

    Looking for decent free Boot Manager

    I have installed x64 XP beta onto a seperate hard drive & can't get it to boot from that hard drive. My friends who have linux dual boots use an old version of system commander to have boot options. Are there any reasonably priced or free boot managers that will allow me to choose which OS to...

    Is a VGA Cooler Necessary?

    Theres a heatsink and fan that came with the card. It Keeps the card at reasonable temps even at load. (80 C max). Or at least i thought that was reasonable.

    Are there conventions for wiring order?

    Are there conventions for wiring order?

    Just a newbie, any reason my hard drives are running so hot? Even my secondary one (which i have yet to write to) is the same temp. Is it a big no no to put fans after the HDDs on the same line? I am thinking maybe since the fans need constant current, the power is somehow running through the...

    AMD 3500 Winchester reaching FSB ceiling too soon

    FSB - 222 HTT - 5X Vcore 1.55V mem divider i have been setting to 100, cause it should isolate the FSB ram volts 2.6 CPU multi at 6x to isolate FSB again. If i do successfully isolate the FSB, shouldnt that be my highest possible FSB overclock as well? After i begin to increase my...

    Oh and I already checked out that guide, I have isolated the HTT and it wont go above 222MHz. This should def be higher.

    AMD 3500 Winchester reaching FSB ceiling too soon

    OK did a little more reading and checking my stats but I still can't get my FSB above 220MHz. I read that with the 3500, this should be able to reach 235 without changing voltages and tweaking memory. I think I am probably missing some crucial BIOS setting.

    AMD 3500 Winchester reaching FSB ceiling too soon

    Just put together my first machine. MSI NF4 SLI Platinum board with AMD 3500 winchester. I don't know exactly what I am missing, but anandtech says that you can get FSB speeds of 235 with fairly stock settings. I can't get past 220. I am probably missing an important BIOS setting, anyone...
