    PSP not turning on, need advice

    Originally posted on Ars Technica: I bought this psp for $30 from a friend who hadn't used it in months; he told me it had a cracked screen. I bought a screen off ebay, but I've only been able to turn the psp on once. I didn't know it would come with this extra turning on / power issue...

    Video Input on eVGA 7900GT

    I want to play my ps2 on my computer. Before I buy the component out cables, I want to know if there is a way for the card to do zero processing on the input. It is an eVGA 7900 GT (Reloaded). It came with a component/s-video in box, so I'm 99% positive it has video in. I just want to make...

    Applying AS5

    I recently took off my heatsink, an si-120, to do a vmod on my board (worked great). It had been a while since I had put on a heatsink, so I sort of forgot some of the better ways to put on the thermal grease. Well, I took it off again, and thought to myself "Hey, the amount REMAINING on the...

    Quieting PSU Fan

    So, the fan in my PSU makes this horrible annoying clicking noise that basically makes it pontless to lower the sound of my other fans. I would just attempt to run the cord for the psu out of the psu onto a controller or something, but its two pin, while my case is setup for 3 pin. Any...

    Lian Li Card Area Axial Blower

    Has anyone tried this out? Is it loud? Move a lot of air? Would it be effective to increase cooling for passive gfx cards? What are your opinions on it, etc.

    Looking for Passive video cards

    I've narrowed it down to these. If anyone knows of some other ones that might be good, tell me. Also, I'm looking for reviews of these cards to; it seems whenever I put in a video card I just come up with shops. Lastly, I'd prefer not to have to deal with after market coolers. XFX 7600 GS...

    Akasa Amber Series (120 mm)

    Please detail your experiences with these fans. Are they at all audible? Undervolt well? Last long? etc. I'm thinking of using one in a si-120 (and a couple for my case). Would this be enough airflow for a moderate overclock? (2200 MHz 1.35v >>> 2500 MHz 1.375 v) On a final note, I have...

    Controlling Fan Speed

    Besides installing a fan controller, is there any way to controlthe speed of my fans? I have the AMD heat pipe HSF, which I hear is thermally controlled, and Im wondering if it automatically activates or what, because speedfan registers it as 100% all the time. Do I have to enable CnQ? I heard...

    Temperature difference of 5 C between cores

    My dad kind of mucked around with the heatsink (AMD heat pipe version) when putting it on, and I think he might have messed up the gray thermal goo a little so that it ended up not being a stellar application. Is it likely this is the case, or is it just the sensors being off? This is at load...

    2x1 GB Memory, only 1 GB showing up in Windows

    The topic basically says it all. I am running ASRock 939Dual SATAII with a 4400+ and kingston value ram, 2x 1GB. I ran memtest all night, the memory is fine. The memory is detected fine in the BIOS and memtest. CPUZ does read it as there being 2x1 GB sticks, but only shows 1 GB. When I right...

    Dual Core Opterons vs X2s

    I'm kind of confused. From what I've herad, if you're overclocking, it seems almost ridiculously stupid to get an X2 over an opteron. So why would anyone (who overclocks) get an x2? I think the x2s have SSE3 while the optys dont (maybe?), but thats not that big of an advantage. So is it just...
