My CPU was running quite hot, so to increase airflow I've moved my hard drive down one slot to the bottom of my case. Now it sits only milimetres from the internal speaker, and I'm wondering if this could cause problems with the hard drive. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience...

Anybody know of any non-server mobos that will happily take registered PC2100? I have some that I have tried in an nforce1 mobo with no luck. I have lots of other boards to try but it woud take me forever to try them all, and it's possible the board could be compatible but the RAM faulty. I've...

I'm trying to get a feel for the stability of this motherboard. The SOYO newsgroup has next to 0 traffic in it. I've read one scathing review of this board and several other reviews that didn't have SATA tests. I like the feature set offered by this board, but that only counts if the darn things...

I want to learn hardware. My idea is just to build a computer from scratch and learn each component as I go. Can someone recomend a good book ( or maby some FAQ's ) that will cover the basics, and give me a start ? Thanks...

I've been looking at this motherboard for one of my test machines, but one thing concerns me. The VIA firewire chip. Has anyone (1) Got this board? (2) Have you used the FireWire aspect of this board and experienced any problems? Thanks. @drian.

Hi group, I wanted to pick up an used motherboard. But the User's Guide states "The DDR DIMM slots DO NOT support PC2700 modules" I thought DDR2700 is supposed to be backward compatible with PC2100/PC1600. Even though the motherboard with VIA KT133 chipset can not take advantage of the faster...

hey all, after 5 mins of logical thinking, the antec P160 (due for release) will not fit my bill - no room for watercooling radiator. so i`m thinking of a rather large lian li case. anyone with the above lian li case tell me how much room there is above the PSU (for 2x 80mm fans). i`m wanting to...

I want to upgrade this mobo to a Celeron 500mhz cpu from a 333mhz cpu, but have no documentation for the board, the serial is S26361-D (Fujitsu Siemens badge), any help with jumper settings would be appreciated. Tks

I want to remove this processor an Athlon1700+, and put it in another motherboard. I am guessing it has to be cleaned of the old paste and redone.? What is a good paste to use.? How much/thin should it be.? This will be my first install of a cpu. Thanks.

About to replace my PIII 500 with either a 2800 or 3200 system. Question is will I see a drastic difference considering it's £100 more expensive, or would I be better spending the £100 on say a DVD-RW. It's obviously going to be a massive improvement either way over my old system. If I go for the...

We have an older SCSI based video editing workstation and ever since we upgraded to a larger video SCSI drive we've had performance issues due to over heating. So I'm looking for a new case with adequate cooling for the system. But since this is our oldest edit suite the owner wants to spend as...

The Zalman is nice, but $40 is a bit much for a CPU fan. What can replace the stock Intel cooler that will work in a non overclocked system?

Hi there I have a VIA AC97 integrated audio chipset. I was trying to upgrade the drivers to the newer ones from via but after restarting my computer the add new hardware wizard came up and looked for the drivers for my VIA AC97. So I went through the setup using the hardware wizard. After that was...
