I already bought a micro atx case and now i have to buy a micro atx motherboard. But it seems that very few board have pcie 2.0. My question is, is it necessary to have pcie 2.0 to use a 9800 gt? If not, then is there a noticeable performance increase in pcie 2.0? If this is the case then I need...
Hi i need some help with the following problem. When i connect power to the psu, the computer automatically starts. but nothing shows on the screen. i went to geek squad and they told me to get a new motherboard. The first time i turned it on, there was a weird noise and smell. then i...

i considered the xp-120 but its expensive and doesn't even come with a fan. Big typhoon is also expensive for me. i am looking for something around 30 bucks. Also, if you have an lga775 cpu, the ac freezer would be easier to mount anyway. WT, what is the difference between the g-power and the...
I found all three for ~30 bucks. I might do some minor ocing but i read that the freezer is not effective enough for ocing. Which one can keep my cpu at the lowest degree while on load? (I play games alot) What do u guys think? Thanks in advance for u help.
I have a hot p4 and i need to buy a cheap (~$30) HSF for some overclocking. What do u guys think i should buy? An Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro or Scythe Katana? Which is the better buy? Thanks in advance.
I think that the nvidia system drivers for intel sli edition are causing my unusually long boot time. when im booting, sometimes i would take like 5 min just staring at the blue bar go across the screen. I tred to install the drivers without the ide sw driver. Also windows detects my sata hd as...
my antivirus is notron antivirus 2006 but i don't think it is causing it, but i will check. also my CPU runs at 45 Celcius and i don't think that this is hot for a P4. Also it freezes even when i boot after the PC was off for hours, so i don't think its the heat either. Thanks for ur response...
Hey guys. I built my first PC a couple of days ago and im having some problems with Windows xp home with service pack 2. Somtimes, not always, the pc would take like 5 min just to get past the part where the little blue dots move accross the bar. It does this about every other time i boot my pc...
I checked out both of these HSF and i like the Arctic cooling becasue its much cheaper. The Zalman one is very expensive so i don't think i will go for it. I read a review for the arctic cooling freezer 7 and they say its a bit loud. Is there another HSF that u can think of that is a bit quiter...
I want to backup my OS and drivers and put them on DVD for future recovery, but i don't know any software that does it or how to do it. I want to do this because i have a one-time-use serial for winXP but if i ever have to format my HD, I will lose my OS. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
i am having the same problem with my MSI P4N board!! It radomly chooses when to take like 10 min to load and when not to. Sometimes it boots normal though. I don't know why. If u got urs fixed, can u please tell me what u did because this is very frustrating!!! Thanks.
Guys im lost. There are too many attractive HSF to choose from. I play FEAR and BF2 sometimes and my CPU reaches 70C with stock cooling. I decided i have to change my HSF. What would u guys reccomend for a decently priced and effective HSF? Thanks.
Thanks guys for ur prompt responses. Im not sure what u guys mean by "stickies" but i will take it as the CPU HS/F reviews on the top of the page. Right now i think i will see what happens when i get a case fan. If it is effective, then i saved the 40 bucks it would cost to get a CPU HS/F. If...
I recently built my first PC but my Antec "Super" Lanboy causes my intel P4 630 CPU with stock cooling to reach 55C idle and 70C when playing FEAR. How can I fix this and if anybody else had an issue similar to mine, please help me. Would a new exhaust case fan help? Thanks.
