What type of plastic tubing might be suitable for use in a water cooled computer? The highest priority is to prevent leaks. So tubing that can't possibly split apart, can withstand heat, can be both force-fit onto connectors and crimped on without damage. (or glued on with glue that's made for this...

I have always used AMD and recently purchased an intel 3.0c, 512 kingston ddr 400 ram 'not hyper-x' and an asus p4p800. I have never had so many problems setting up any other computer in my life!!!

maybe a shot out of the blue but have you tried taking the pc2700 stick out with just the pc3200 ram in? I have known of people that have had mixed memory speed ram and had similar problems. On Thu, 8 Jan 2004 22:30:59 -0000, "Dan" wrote: :Hi : :I just upgraded from a Athlon 1ghz...

How do I use this weird connector on my Antec True Power PS? I've seen some posts that say it's for monitoring, but monitoring what fan, and how? I have an Abit AI7 board, and the only three pin connectors on the board are to power the fans. And about the dedicated fan power connectors on the...

Hello .. I am planning to upgrade both my motherboard and memory so that in the near future I can dabble with overclocking, but I seem to recall someone telling me that if the speed of the fsb is increased, other things in the system are also overclocked .. and my graphics card may or may not...

Hi, I can't change Multiplier. I have Athlon 2600+ Thoroughbred and MSI MS-6712 Chip VIA KT-400 and 2700DDR ( 512MB module ). My CPU is showing Athlon 2600+ at the post.

I was given and NEC PC with a PII A80523, Deschutes on an Intel SE440BX motherboard. It has been really unstable. Using the FreshDiagnose app, I've found that the max speed for this setup is supposed to be 400MHz, but my processor is running at 448MHz. Is there any way to adjust the speed back...

Hi. I've done some web browsing on the subject...and have just enough info to be dangerous...and need some more to actually be knowledgeable. I have an Epox 8KHA with a VIA KT266 chipset. The BIOS allows for clock increases of 1mhz increments, multiplier changes, and voltage (CPU and...
