    hd electrical shock

    while re-assembling my computer (4 hds) ia did not remembered one of them was mounted "upside down" so that the molex connector was at left instead of being at right. Well, I did it as per usual without paying much attention and i tried to connect that molex to the right... and as soon as i...

    corsair 620hx question

    I have been using an antec truepower 550 (old one, 30 amps @ +12v rail)for some years, but after having substantially changed my rig i started having problems. It hanged up or simply showed me that terrible BSOD anybody likes, so i started trying to focus where the problem was by tuning and/or...

    i would like to buy a fast tho not very expensive A4 scanner. I actually own an agfa snapscan 1236s (scsi) and find it kind of slow when tryin to scan multiple photos, mainly because of the time it takes the lamp to get to the photo location. that is why i would really thank any advice about...

First of all: is there any way of unlocking p4 multiplier? - what's the meaning of ddr settings and what is expectable "standard"oc-ability of this config.? - would an adequate cooling do much for this intention...

    1200 t-bird vs. 1800+

    ok, it's not a revolution but i am guessing wether it would be a reasonable change to be made (not changing any other component). First of all i even do not know if my abit kt7a-raid (latest bios but not being 1.3 hw version) would tolerate that chip. i have read that it does... so the questions...

    44mhz pci

    as i have realized my abit kt7a-raid offers a weird frequencies combination: 133/44 instead of standard 133/33, what's the use of such combination if some? isn't it highly dangerous to force pci up there or is it sure? on the other hand, would my adaptec 2904-cd, via firewire card, sb128pci...

    deception

    great deception: yesterday, i received three 256mb cas2 pc133 crucial modules, and was expecting them to reach high fsbs (150+) at cas2-turbo timing, as i intended to use them to replace three no-name cheap modules that were working fine at cas3-fast timing @147fsb. No way. I have not been able...

    how far should i expect my new crucial-cas2 pc-133 256 mb modules (three) to go, or in other words, should i expect 155 fsb 2-2-2 @3.4 volts?, should i force voltage a little bit up?, how much? thank you

    anti-cracking athlon plates

    i've got an anti-core-cracking copper plate installed on my system, but my doubts are: is it preventing my hsf from getting fully in touch with the processor? is there a way to check for it? and, the lack of air flow surrounding the sides of the chip, is it going to overheat it? let me know.

    sucking funnel instead of a blowing 6cm fan?

    ok, apparently blowing air throug funnel reduces noise but temperature increases a bit due to turbulence and those things, but if you put a say 8cm. 56cfm fan (some of thme don't surpass 31db) sucking air from the hs, turbulence would not be more that that produced by a similar-cfm6 cm fan...
