    940BE temperature not showing up.

    I wish i could remember exactly when this problem started, but i can't recall. When i realized that my temperatures were all within safe limits, i stopped monitoring them 24/7. At some point my temps started reading as 0'c for most programs (Core temp, speedfan, AMD overdrive, hardware...

    Software Raid 5 vs Hardware Raid 5

    I've been highly considering a Raid 5 array for my next computer; I'm currently looking at 6x 500 gig harddrives for a total of 2.5~ terabytes. (S-ATA 3.0 and 16 mb cache; either WD or Seagate) In doing motherboard research; i've discovered that some of the newer nvidia chipsets allow for...

    ASrock AliveNF5-eSATA2+ (AM2)

    My lovely old 939 system got fried in a power surge; so i needed some sort of reasonable upgrade to it for the short term. It seems that everything outside of my CPU and Motherboard were actually left unscathed; so I decided to re-use them. I was looking at the price for 939pin processers...

    Dual Monitor Help

    I recently acquired an LCD from a friend, he was moving so he sold it to me. It is a 17inch (I think?) LCD, runs at 1280x1024. Regardless, it happens to almost exactly mirror the size of my Samsung Syncmaster 997DF, which i also run at 1280x1024. So, i hooked both monitors up, and after...

    http://www.svc.com/fs-v7.html http://www.svc.com/fs-c77.html Anyone even attempt to use this thing? The size of it has to be monstrous... I suppose that it has to cool extremely well, but i'm wondering how the thing has to look, espicially considering how large the normal zalman 7000 and...

    Replacing my heatsink.

    I've removed stock AMD heatsinks before, and it took much effort and once i accidently ripped out the CPU with it. (luckily it still works perfectly, as no pins were lost...) However, i'm sure there is a way to do it that doesn't require force - as i'd much rather not do that again. Any...

    My computer just....stopped.

    My rig's about a year old now, and its been working fine and wonderfully up till now. I went to a local LAN party last night, and things were going well, of course, having a bunch of guys and computers in a room makes the room a bit warm. My computer was getting up to around 52-53 celsius...

    Firefox 1.06 killed my middle-click tabbing

    I can middle click some links just fine, but any sort of image, bold, or link in an alternate text. No luck, can't middle click them. Ctrl+click also doesn't work. I'm using a large number of extensions, do you think it could be a combination of those that might have done it? (a few of...

    AVI Videos arent playing correctly

    I was trying to watch a video earlier today, and the AVI video was just all messed up. I tried to grab a screenshot of it, but for some reason, it didn't want to register on a simple print screens creen capture. I'm almost entirely sure that this must have started to happen whenever I...

    Processers and Microchips generate heat.

    Its horribly obvious and well known these days that just about anything with a chip in it is going to generate heat, almost all parts of the motherboard, graphics card, etc. Why is this? I know they have energy going through them, but, what causes more heat output when you overclock, why...

    Using an 80mm fan to cool your northbridge?

    My ASUS A8N-SLi chipset died recently, then revived. Thats not important. Anyway, while it was dead, I put an 80mm fan directly ontop of it. It was the only sort of fan I had extra, and it fit perfectly into the place on my motherboard. Likewise, I have yet to remove the 80mm fan, and...

    Randomly deleting the window/tab on firefox

    If i actually click "New Topic" or the "Add Reply" buttons, after I make a post, it asks me to verify "POSTDATA" and then closes the window (or tab) This is rather annoying, any idea how I could get around it?
