    High temp readings on MSI RS480M2

    Seems like there is a problem with the board detecting correct temps with the venice core Athlons. http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?topic=82226.0 No Bios updates that deal with this problem so far, but thanks for the tip. :D

    High temp readings on MSI RS480M2

    A friend has a problem regarding CPU temps on his MSI RS480M2. It is sky high on idle (61C). I replaced the original CPU fan with a Thermaltake smartfan and I added a big 90mm fan for the case but the temps remain the same. The heatsink is flush with the CPU and the PC doesnt hang or exhibit...

    RAID diagnostic software?

    Hi guys, I think one of my hard drives that I have on my RAID array has some bad sectors. Do you know any RAID diagnostic software? Western Digital's own diagnostic software doesnt detect my RAIDed drives.

    Thermaltake Silent Tower - P0024 or P0025?

    Im currently using the CL-P0025 and im relly happy with it. I suggest you get the aluminum one since the base is still copper, and the aluminum fins are lighter, so there is less strain on your motherboard. Its one BIG heatsink, so make sure that you have enough space for it on your case...

    Cant access my hard drive!

    Well I just decided to skip all the hassle, lose all my data and format my hard drive. After formatting the drive, it now functions normally and passed all diagnostic tests I threw at it. Maybe it was just a windows glitch or something. I HAVE to get another hard drive in the near future...

    Is it just me or did the Nvidia 6800 drastically increase your system temps?

    Just found out why my temps were so high. I didnt screw on my new CPU heatsink tight enough. Right now my CPU temps are 29C idle and 37C under Prime95 load.

    Hi. I have an exodus case which as a 90mm front intake and 80mm side intake plus another 90mm rear exhaust. All my fans are Vantec stealth fans though. Super silent but so-so CFMs. Im more concerned with the noise than with my temps but I was just surprised with how much the temps rised with...

    Thanks for the link. I installed the 61.76 drivers that came with the PNY Installation CD and so far the problems are gone.

    Is it just me or did the Nvidia 6800 drastically increase your system temps?

    I used to have about 39C for my system temps, but now that I have installed the 6800Gt on my computer, idle temps are up to 45-48C! Did you guys experience the same thing? An Nvidia Silencer is on the way and I hope this will lower my temps back to normal.

    OCZ Ultra 5+ == Arctic silver 5?

    Techlab measured the difference between the AS3 and AS5 at 2C @ Idle and 3C @ load. While Mikhailtech measured the difference between the AS3 and AS2 at 3C @ Idle and 5C @ load. So more or less its 7C @ idle and 8C @ load. Even if the difference is only half that, 4C is huge. I guess...

    Best Power Supply

    Second the Thermaltake from newegg recommendation. Their new POLO12 is rated at 410w continuous and 500w peak. It uses a 120cm fan at low speed, so its noise level is low. $65 :D Video review here http://www.3dgameman.com/vr/th...u/video_review_03.html

    OCZ Ultra 5+ == Arctic silver 5?

    I suggest you look into the Arctic Silver Alumina. http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_alumina.htm Overclockers club reviewed it and it was virtually neck and neck with the AS5 at half the price. Totally non-conductive too. 1coolpc.com sells them and ships internationally and sometimes...

    Can a Zalman heatpipe be attached to an ATI All-in-wonder card?

    Thanks for the reply. That's what I was afraid of, the Zalman might hit the square aluminum casing of the AIW in the front end. :(
