    180mm fan?

    Can anyone recommend a good 180mm fan? It doesn't seem to be a very popular size. I've found a few by Silverstone, but was wondering if there are any others that people knew of. I think I might put one in the side of my Fractal Arc Midi case to help cool my 8800gt (just put a passive...

    Question About Dual Channel Memory

    I have 1 gig of Kingston HyperX PC3500 (running stock - 2.6V 2-3-3-7) memory running with a p4c 3.0 and Abit IC7. I have been getting random blue screens and STOP errors when shutting windows down lately. I am beginning to think that they may be caused by memory errors because they are always...
