Installing Aero7 cooler / Clear BIOS?

[knowley]

Hi peps

Quick question about insatlling the Aero7 cooler.

It has TWO cables, one for the PSU and one for motherboard header > Do you need to connect BOTH or just to the PSU?

I have used a globalwin cooler in the past that had a similar setup and was told to ONLY use the psu connection and never the mb header, something to do with too much power being drained.

Thanks very much

my tt volacno 7+ had both of those
i used both, mobo header let me monitor my fan speeds, ther other (psu connection) was the real power source

cool, thats what I thought just wasnt sure as the GlobinWin cooler says not to, and the Aero7 insturctions don't mention it.

Would you reset the BIOS b4 installing a new CPU?
(MB is Abit KD7-Raid & cpu is XP2800 barton, upgrading from XP2000)

Anyone? ... do you have to clear the CMOS/BIOS before you can install a new CPU?

TIA

no, the only time you have to worry about it is if your running manual settings or if you have to adjust the FSB

nope, just using the pre-set XP2000 setting atm, and will obviously change to XP2800 on 1st boot up!

Thanks!!!

Seems the XP barton doesnt like the Fast Encode on?

This aero7 thing is GR8!

Thanks people!
