    Power Supply Bay Fans?

    I have a case with two power supply bays, but I'm only using one of them. In the lower bay, there's just a piece of metal that closes off the case where the opening for the 2nd power supply would be. This also happens to be a big dead space under my 2nd video card that runs pretty hot. I'd...

    Bug with nVidia NTune and GPU fan setting for GPU1...

    I have a system with two 8800 GTX's. There's a lot of heat, and when the computer is on a while things start to hang. My GPUs were running about 58C, so I downloaded nTune and cranked up the fan speed to 100%. The temp on GPU0 went down to 53C pretty quick, but it appears that nTune is not able...

    CMOS Checksum Error - survives reflash?

    I have an MSI Neo Platinum motherboard with a 3200+ DTR in it. Worked fine for about a week, but when I changed some settings in the BIOS and rebooted, it wouldn't post. If I clear the CMOS and reboot, it will clear the memory test and then give me a CMOS Checksum Failed - defaults loaded...

    BIOS works once after reset, but then have to reset?

    Ok, I have an MSI K8N Neo Platinum with a 3200+ DTR in it. Worked fine so far. I changed some BIOS settings and saved and rebooted, but it wouldn't post. I reset the BIOS (jumper or taking out the battery, same effect) and it'll boot with a CMOS checksum error once, but then I'll need to...

    Athlon 64 3200+ 512k and Athlon 64 3200+ DTR 1MB physically interchangeable?

    I have a MSI Neo Platinum board, and ordered the DTR (mobile) version of the 3200+ to get the extra 512k of cache. I've since read that the chips may not be physically interchangeable, in the sense that regular CPU fans won't fit the DTR version of the chip. Is this true, or more specifically...

    Bad Athlon 1.33 C?

    OK, so I have an Athlon C 1.33 GHz. It's on a FIC AD11 motherboard. Heat is fine, foils are warm but not hot. Had it overclocked a bit when I first got it but have been running 1.33 for quite some time now. Until today, when the compuer started spontaneously resetting. I now have it running...

    Good Web Cam's?

    Ok, I've decided it's time to invest in a webcam. I do *NOT*, however, want one of the cheapy "Hey, look, I *THINK* that's someone's picture" grainy deals. I have a cable modem connection (1Mb/s), so something that stands a chance at utilizing that bandwidth would be nice. Hopefully...

    Upgrades/Patches

    Ok, I've been reading people talking about needing software upgrades/patches for their Athlons. I have an AMD 1.33 and a FIC AD11 with 512 of Crucial PC2100. (No, I don't read the price guides, I swear!) I'm running 98 with a PCI soundblaster and a Leadtek GEForce2 Pro. I've already seen the...
