Grounding and lightning. by
Skybuck Flying[_2_]
Hello,
Hopefully this will be my last question to "research" and determine if I
want to ground my hardware.
What happens if lightning strikes near the ground wire ?!?
(I have seen lightning strike closeby a couple of times so it's a realistic
scenerio).

ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe + Athlon64 3000+ Overclocking Woes! by
David Rasmussen
In short: HT/FSB will not go above 225 MHz :(
Even if I underclock my memory using a divider and underclock the CPU
using a low multiplier, I can't get HT above 225 MHz without the system

Since I am underclocking both memory and CPU, I guess none of these
could be at fault. Or what? I...

Is there a trick to installing Intel heatsink/fan assemblies? by
Bruce.[_2_]
I'm upgrading 2 computers, both to P5E's with Intel E8400 and heatsink/fan
assembly. Both have been a bear to get mounted and locked down.
It sounds simple. Line up the 4 pegs and push down until they lock. The
problem is the locking mechanism is very weak and the processor is a high
