    AC Freezer 7 pro or Scythe Katana Cu?

    It seems both can be had for about the same price ... is there a clear winner? I'm wanting to stick with these smaller hsf's so I won't need to be concerned about moving the case around a lot. I intend to overclock with an e6400 or e4300.

    PSU recommendation

    From what I've gathered lately, the following PSUs give good performance for price in their range. I know everyone will say I'd be better off buying one of the high-end Corsair PSU's, but I don't really have the money to spend on it. So, which of these (or another in the $50-70 range) would...

    C2D build for moderate overclocking. Advice?

    I'm helping my brother put together a computer that he'll be taking off to college with him. I'm rather experienced with building and overclocking machines, I just haven't really kept up with what's the best since my last build (early adopter, 939 opteron) I'd like to get moderate...

    NVIDIA fan control / temp monitor

    So somehow or another, the fan header on my NVIDIA card has gone bad. Plugging the fan into the socket on the board yields a fan that doesn't spin. If I plug the fan into my motherboard, it spins full speed. Since this is pretty darn loud, I put a fanmate between the motherboard and the GPU...

    What's the advantage of SATA drives??

    I was reading a motherboard review earlier today which tested data throughput with IDE RAID, SATA RAID, and individual SATA and IDE drives. In the majority of the benchmarks, the IDE implementation came out faster, with the note that: note that both IDE and SATA drives are 7200RPM why is...

    GA-K8NS PRO [nforce3-250] (now available at newegg)

    I, like many other people I'm sure, have been waiting for some of the new nforce3-250 boards to come out. Chaintech put out a few that, as far as anyone can tell, just took their nf3-150 solution and dropped in the new chipset to try to take advantage of an otherwise empty market. Also, the...

    good mobo to oc a64 w/ lock?

    I got an asus k8v deluxe se from newegg, but the onboard ethernet doesn't work at all, and i realized that with my sata drive, i'm not going to be able to OC hardly at all unless i've got a pci lock (got it up to about 225 before windows corrupted itself on my sata drive) so, i figure i'll RMA...
