So I installed from my other computer my working 3.2 Northwood, booted up, updated the Bios to the...

    New Build-Won't Post, Help!

    The lights in front do turn on, the mb doesn't beep. I have a backup CPU, and Ram that I know both work. Should I try them together in the new mobo, I guess that would tell me if the mobo is DOA.

    DDR 500

    I'm getting some new memory this week, OCZ EB DDR PC-4000 / 500MHz, but I'm new to overclocking and could use some advice. I have an Asus P4C800E-Deluxe, with P4 3.2 Ghz Northwood.

    Asus P4C800E-Deluxe Northbridge Cooling

    I'm looking to overclock, and just recently installed a huge heatsink, the Scythe Infinity. It works great, but it partially covers, and only leaves about a half-inch of clearance over the original Asus Northbridge heatsink. Does anyone know of a slim Northbridge heatsink/fan that might work...
