    Temp Concerns

    anybody have any experience with the TT A1772 (Venus 7) HSF? Amd seems to recommend it as a viable product, but reading around seems to be a lot of disdain for TT's HSF's. MechBgon: My Q-Fan isn't enabled and we both have amd's cool'n quiet enabled. We are also both running Asus' v1006 Bios...

    Temp Concerns

    I'd agree. He also has a bigger case and like 4 more fans then I do. However, that doesn't excuse my high temperatures. At first I figured it was an invalid reading, but after touching that heatsink, it seems pretty hot , hotter then normal. For 30 dollars if I can get a 30% increase in life...

    Temp Concerns

    Went ahead and ordered the recommended Thermaltake A1772 to be safe, last thing I want is to shorten the lifespan into oblivian. I'd like this to last a while and 60C isn't going to get me there. Thanks

    Temp Concerns

    Thanks, i've been searching all over, and AMD says 70C is the highest it should ever go and thats pushing it. Just seeing it 10C below that limit kinda unnerving, invested a lot into this system and really didn't want it to work a year and crap out. Hehe. I was going to upgrade the HSF, but...

    Temp Concerns

    Is the fact that my heatsink is more then warm and less then scorching hot an idication of thermal breakdown? When I installed/added the thermal grease, arctic silver 5 on the stock HSF i made sure i didn't put too much, the size of a grain of rice, maybe a bit more then that, like 2 grains at...

    Importance of 12v rails

    Ok i will check it with a voltmeter. If it confirms a reading of 11.6, is that too low and a possible reason for random computer freezes?? I've been having the random freezes since building the PC. It happens when playing video games like Final Fantasy 11. I've tried everything, I check the...

    Computer Freezes

    I've seen people on various forums that changing the AGP setting in bios from 8X to 4X can resolve the problem. However, why ??? Isn't 8X better and faster, and with this up to date rig, shouldn't 8X be compatible? Also what is the recommended AGP apeture size?? 256mb, 128, 64, or 32??

    Computer Freezes

    I've posted the issue before and I thought it was network related. When I'm playing Final Fantasy 11 online, it will randomly freeze. Previously it would kick me out of the game and ask me to reconnect. I believe I corrected the wireless network issue since it doesn't do that anymore. (asking...

    Hmm.. I will re-look at that again. I was sure that I went through the manual carefully as I was installing. May have overlooked it by accident as I'm sure everyone has done before. I'm only human!!! ;P I spent forever prior to installing the OS trying to get the SATA drivers to load when...

    Yea, I'm really not sure why my system is benching so low. I'm running Windows XP Sp1 as well. I left all my settings at stock. The memory was reading fine as far as I can tell. I'm not quite sure what the CAS readings were since I'm at work and I can update with what they are reading if...
