By covers I mean actually touching the ram. Manufacturers seem to have trouble grasping this concept and produce fanless vid cards which only cool the GPU and leave the ram to fend for itself.
I'm willing to pay a premium for the silence and the ram cooling, I just don't know if such a thing...
I have replaced all my case fans with 5 Pabst 8421NGL 80mm. They are very quite fans but when the computer is on, I hear a high buzzing noise. My cpu fan is a Nexus D12SL-12 120mm. My psu has only one 80mm (not pabst) but it has a rheostat which I keep at the lowest rpm. My vid card is...
Does anyone think this heatsink would be sufficient to run fanless on a Duron Socket A 600mhz?

I might be able to get one used. Or please suggest if you have a better idea. I'm trying to go for silence on my Dad's system. Thanks for...
My brother in law's GeForce 5500 has a high pitched little fan on it that gets on your nerves. I'd like to get them a passive cooler for the card as a birthday gift.
Does anyone have recommendations to cool this GPU passively. I was thinking about the Thermaltake CL-G0003 but have not...
I'm not looking for something too over the top, just a mod that would make enemy bodies take damage after they die. When I'm still shooting a bad guy as he falls to the floor, he doesn't take any visible damage. It just annoys me that the game does this. I know it will decrease performance to...
I've had GeForce cards in my last 2 systems but have just installed a 9800 Pro AGP that I got used. I downloaded and installed the Catalyst drivers from ATI's website.
- I can use any resolution but can only get 60hz refresh rate on the desktop.
- When I click on the "ATI Catalyst...
I have a choice between a used GeForce FX 5900 Ultra (256MB) 450 MHz/850 MHz
and a used ATI 128mb which I believe is 360/660
My cpu is an Athlon xp 1.67ghz and I have 1gb of pc2400 ram
My question is, with my slowish cpu and memory, will it be pointless for me to get the faster card...
Assuming there were two monitors and a vid card with dual outputs. I mean both viewing different content. This is with Windows XP pro sp2. It would just be two people sitting at a desk side by side.
Or is it only possible by having 3 machines, one as a server and two as clients with user...
I just helped my brother in law install his new DVD burner. It is the master drive on the secondary IDE channel. On first boot it did not show up in Windows (XP pro, SP2).
I removed the slave IDE hard drive on the channel and then it did show up. I then put the slave drive back on and...
A friend was asking advice on buying a pre-built system somewhere. I don't ususally shop for pre-built and it's been awhile since I've shopped for any pc parts so would appreciate any advice. He needs at lest a 2.2ghz to run music composition software, wants to spend about $500.
He does...
My Dad asked me about the value of the budget systems you see from Dell (Demension 3000 ect.) Most of the specs seem "ok" but they all seem to have the Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 onboard video.
Has anyone ever used a machine with this onboard video? and how does it perform with...
Was wondering if any of you have a widescreen monitor and a Radeon card, if so, can you get 1600x1024 to work?
I'm looking at buying the RADEON X800 XT. ATI's specs say it will do 1920x1080 but the wide resolution that fits my monitor is 1600x1024 (I have the Sony GDM-FW900).
