You know how after you reboot your pc, all the clutter and unreleased memory bits from running a pc for couple days on end gets all reset and cleared?
Just wondering if theres a app that does something similar but without restarting.
Say you've used your pc for 1 week without rebooting...
Basically im a control freak and hate having programs running automatically.
I just want a program that I can startup manually whenever I want and do manual scans. I dont want monitoring and learning crap. When i want it off, i want it off.
I used to use Ewido but that got bought or...
This talk of Rails but more specifically how to add them (the Amps) up is slightly confusing. I'm currently running a 8800gtx and havent had any problems so far. Unfortunately I bought it just before 8pin PCI-e Psu came out. Its 620w with x2 6pins PCI-e and its ok.... for now.
However could...
Ok my older backup PCs PSU died (sorta) and l'm looking at new PSU that. Now I'm looking at replacing my old Antec True 550.
Things to note
- this is my backup PC and i dont plan on keeping it more than 1-1.5 years
- Need x2 sata connectors
- Dont need PCI-e power since its an AGP...
I plan to remove x3 of my front 5.25" bays and install a 120mm intake fan via an adapter/bracket.
Does anyone know which companies make these?
I'm talking about things similar to these...

Using a Thermalright Ultra Extreme with a 120mm fan thats 3pin. Just wondering if a 3 or 4pin fan makes a difference to the mobo and how it controls the fan?
Would the mobo control the speed of a 3pin fan?
Also, does speed control not matter with 120mm cpu fans since they are quieter...
I was reading on benchmarkreviews.com that nickel is quite a bit worse than aluminium & copper at conducting/dissipating heat.
So can some explain why most HSF manfacturers that use Copper Heat pipes end up Nickel Plating the base of the HSF? They also mention it as a "feature", making it...
The PC came pre-assembled when I order one custom build from my local PC shop. Is the airflow setup efficient for this type of rig?
Somehow I dont think its good to have just air going into a case? Shouldnt there be an exhaust?
I'm thinking about flipping the rear fan to exhaust air out. I...
Basically its my first summer with my new mobo/cpu combo and I'm not liking the temp readings. (i think I have too much paste on anyways)
Info/requirements:
* Intel Quadcore Q9450
* NOT overclocked and never will be
* Not after the ultimate cooler, just something that is better...
Heres my routine...
I never turn my CRT monitor off using the its "front power button", I just let it go to "standby/powersave" mode whenever I shut off my pc. (usually every night)
My question is, is it better to actually turn it off using the power switch or just let it stay in standby...
Just curious. Regarding my 2nd (older) PC which i havent sold for no logical reason.
I thought its video was about to die but everything turned out ok. However it got me thinking....
The card is an Ati 800XT PE which uses x1-4pin Molex on AGP. I was wondering if there are faster AGP cards...
I upgraded from a E6600 to a Q9450 Cpu recently and was suprised to notice that the fan was louder. It sounded like as if it had crappier ball bearing than my older E6600 Cpu cooler. (thats if cpu coolers even have ball bearings)
Ok... so, whats a good 3rd party cooler that meets the...
Please bear with my vista noobness...
Ok I've just moved to Vista Home Premium 64bit. I've installed the o/s, hardware drivers, windows update(critical updates only). Installed Acronis True Image 11. Then I made an disk image. C drive apparently has 28gb of data, the image file is compressed...
Hey fellas,
Usual deal, looking at future upgrade. Just wanted your thoughts on a board based on my requirements. I tried to be specific as possible as to not waste anyones time.
1) Intel 45nm socket 775 cpu
2) PCIe 2.0 (will this really matter for top end Geforce 9 series?)
3) DDR2...
