    Swiftech Green UV Reactive HydrX Coolant

    i havent yet considered it. I'm gonna ask my friend about it and see what he sez. But what other people said about distilled water and biocide sounds reasonable to me.

    Swiftech Green UV Reactive HydrX Coolant

    np, buddy. i'm personally doing an orange/black mod this time so i went for orange UV. I was planning to get the H20 220 Compact from newegg as they have the lowest price ($140) i've found so far but they just went out of stock. This is prolly a temporariry thing as that kit goes out of stock...

    Swiftech Green UV Reactive HydrX Coolant

    yes, you can use other types of tubing and coolant. I'm about to order the same kit myself and i already purchased some Feser UV tubing. But Tygon really makes the best tubing, this is the one you want for this kit: http://www.performance-pcs.com..._414&products_id=22667 Also, i want to...

    Whats the difference between these 2 Stackers 830 evo?

    thats what i suspected. i guess newegg has both KKN2 and KKN3 in stock yet they don't say that in the descriptions. Thats why people are getting 2 different versions according to reviews. I guess i'm gonna pick this case up elsewhere so i can get the newer version for sure.

    Whats the difference between these 2 Stackers 830 evo?

    Apparantly there are 2 different model numbers for the 830 evo: RC-830-KKN3-GP at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811119122 and RC-830-KKN2-GP at ZipZoomFly: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/...e=10005351&prodlist=cj The latter version is $44 cheaper yet looks...

    Can a case fan be run without the 4 pin molex plugged into a PSU?

    There is a bit of misunderstanding regarding the mobo, this not for my Gigabyte board. As i mentioned above, this is for Abit IP35 Pro in a system i'm working on for someone. That board has 1 CPU FAN, 1 SYS FAN and 4 AUX FAN. I haven't tried it withoout the LED set of wires (the other 3 pin...

    Can a case fan be run without the 4 pin molex plugged into a PSU?

    ok, got the photos uploaded this is how the fan looks like with everything disconnected: http://i462.photobucket.com/al...germz0004/DSCN6617.jpg note that it has 1 3 pin female and 1 3 pin male on one set o wires and 1 3 pin on another and 3 pin male to 4 pn molex adaptor this is how...

    Can a case fan be run without the 4 pin molex plugged into a PSU?

    thnx Zepper. This has nothing to do with a CPU fan though, i have a Zalman 9500 plugged in into the CPU FAN header and its working fine. This is problem only affects the SYS FAN header when i plug in the fan's 3 pin in there without the molex. I took some pics of the fan but i dont know how...

    Can a case fan be run without the 4 pin molex plugged into a PSU?

    Can a case fan be run without the 4 pin molex plugged into a PSU?

    yea, i bought these 2 fans a while ago and just reused them for a build i'm doing for someone, i know they are not the best quality but was just trying to save the guy some cash. If you read my post, i didnt plug in the 3 pin and the 4 pin molex together. It was done separately. I'm trying...

    Can a case fan be run without the 4 pin molex plugged into a PSU?

    I dont really see whats so funny about this. Everything was plugged in properly, i actually triple checked. The thought about the fan not getting enough power has also crossed my mind. I says that the fan consumes only 0.32W but i assume the mobo should have plenty of power: I have the 24...

    Can a case fan be run without the 4 pin molex plugged into a PSU?

    I know, this sounds like a stupid question but it is something that i need to know. To make a long story short, i plugged in AC Ryan 120mm Blackfire fan's 3 pin connector into the mobo's SYS FAN header and unplugged the molex. Before it was running plugged into the 4 pin molex via an adaptor...

    Question about replacing mobo's stock chipset cooling

    So you are saying that i can do it either way: the screws if they fit and pushpins if the screws dont fit? Do i understand u correctly?

    Question about replacing mobo's stock chipset cooling

    Well, i'm planning to use Thermalright HR 05 IFX and it comes with screws. It does say on their site that it is compatible with my mobo's NB. I assume that i can use the screws that come with the cooler since they say its ok. Or should i still use the original NB pushpins?

    Question about replacing mobo's stock chipset cooling

    I have a simple question really. I want to replace the stock NB heatsink on DFI LP DK P35 board. The heatsink is attched via couple of pushpins. Basically i'd like to know if can i use screws to attach the aftermarket heatsink instead of pushpins? Reason i ask is because i suspect that pushpins...

    Problem with BIOS flashing on IP35 Pro

    I'm having a problem with flashing the BIOS on Abit IP35 Pro. I made a bootable floppy with DrDos 7.03 (other bootable floppy creaters didnt work for me) and booted up fine to the A:\ command prompt. Then i took the bootable floppy out and inserted the floppy with BIOS files on it and ran the...

    Can't get RAID to install on XP on a ICHR9 mobo

    Thank you for your reply, however i resolved the problem on my own. Apparantly, as i suspected, it had to do with special copying of files to the floppy disk, they had to be extracted directly onto floppy as opposed to extracting them into the default download directory and then copying and...

    I'm building a rig for someone based on Abit IP35 Pro & e8400. They guy wants RAID 0, this is my first attempt at installing RAID and i ran into a problem. I did everything by the book (actually followed a RAID guide at hardwaresecrets): set drives to RAID mode in BIOS, set em up to RAID 0 in...

    check page 5-2 of the manual, it explains what that post code means. I did have trouble with my IP35 Pro also, was getting 01 error code on first boot, i finally resolved it but not because of post error code explanations, it can be quite difficult to understand what they mean. Sorry that i...

    Where is the BIOS enabling Phenom support for Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5?

    I own a Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 motherboard and i built my system around it back in May of 07. One of the reasons why i picked this board is because it seemed futureproof at the time, based on the info available back then i thought i could use an AM2+ CPU with an AM2 board. I want to upgrade to...

    Corsair HX620's cables long enough for Silverstone TJ-10?

    In that case you are ok, this is a very good case for airflow and you will be happy with your temps, just use the method i described above to get the PSU cables out of the mid-section's fan way and you'll be all set.

    Corsair HX620's cables long enough for Silverstone TJ-10?

    I would think that they should be, i tried to find info on the Corsair site, but couldn't find anything about cable lenght. May be Yellowbeard can clear this up. The reason for my post, however, is to warn you that TJ-10 may not be a great case for hiding cables due to it having a PSU on the...

    New System on M3A32-MVP Deluxe....

    I want to make several suggestions. First, if you are going with the 5000+ get the Black Edition, they overclock much better and cost the same on newegg right now. Second, I recomend you get 2 gigs of DDR2-800 RAM to go with your system. DDR2-800 is a much better choice for AM2, and with the RAM...
