Hi, I just moved from the UK to the US. I brought my Wireless access point/router with me, but I need to get a new DC adapter for it so that it works on the 110V supply here. It says on my UK adapter that the output is: 7.5V DC 1500mA 11.25VA Every universal adapter I find that has 7.5 as an...

Hey, I'm just OCing and stressing a new build for a mate. Asus P5K-Deluxe WiFi-AP with a G0 Q6600 topped with a Thermaltake Big Typhoon. The case isn't the best in the world for ventilation (Gigabyte 3D Aurora) but it's also not the worst. 1 x 120mm in the front, 2 x 120mm in the back as well...

Hey all, Anyone have any links to reviews comparing Artic Ceramique (Arctic Ceramique) with Artic Silver 5 (Arctic Silver 5)? I'm unable to find any, only AS5 vs AS3. Thanks all

So looking over the AMD website, they recommend only using thermal pads and not paste or grease, unless you're needing to remove the heatsink often. In the realworld, what's everyone's opinion? I ask because I've been calling around and all the computer store around here have are paste and not...

Hi. I just bought a good cooling system so I can overclock my CPU. The problem is that in my motherboard's BiOS I don't see anything about multiplier. Anyway I downloaded Easytune 4 and 5. With none of them I can change the multiplier. It does show the multiplier and says that the multiplier is at...

I have one of those fancy reserators - water cooler. The supplied heatsink block for the processor is gold plated (copper underneath I think). I bought another for the 2nd cpu, and they would only supply the plain copper one. Now I thought the gold was better - that's the way they advertise it. ...

Today I installed a Zalman 7000A copper cooler in my P4 2.8ghz machine w/Antec Sonata case. The idea was to replace the noisy stock Intel heat sink and fan with something quieter and - hopefully - cooler (unfortunately no place that was open today had a Zalman Northbridge heatsink, or I...

I intercepted some old systems on their way to the dumpster today, and grabbed a couple of interesting items I hadn't seen befo Asus C-P6S1 Socket-8 to Slot-1 adapters, complete with PPro 200Mhz/1MB L2 CPUs. They were on Asus 440FX boards, KN97-X IIRC. I tried them on a few Asus 440BX boards...

This is unbelievable. IMO, Avoid Circuit City at all costs after what they just pulled on me. I went in on Monday to buy an HP Notebook model ZX5160. They were offering an additional $250 off and with a $100 rebate the price was $1199. I saw their model ZX5040US for $199 after rebates. That has a...

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum, so sorry if I'm posting this question in the wrong thread. I posted it somwhere else, but I dont think it belongs there. Nobody seems to care anyways... no replies. I'm hoping for better luck here. Anyways, I'm interested in buying a SL-75FRN2-L Mainboard, but...

I am looking to build a new machine on a low tight budget and so cannot consider either of the new cpu's from intel & amd i.e the core 2 and the x2 respectively. Using the cpu charts on toms hardware guide I can see that the pentium d 820 is by far the best choice in terms of the type of...

Time-Warner is dropping all newsgroups. Verizon is keeping most of the Big-8 but is dropping the entire alt.* hierarchy, which includes this group. Keep this in mind for future posts, and you may wish to migrate any existing discussions to a non-alt.* group.

when assembling my system i used a thermaltake cooler with arctic silver ceramique. if i want to try out a new heatsink can it actually be removed...? the specs on ceramique say it can be cleaned off and doesn't mention adhesive properties... but i've tried and although it swivels a bit indicating...

Hi I have a Dell Dimension 8300 on which I want to improve the cooling. I want to do this because I know the PC overheats after about 1 hr and is quite unstable. There is currently the fan in the PSU and a fan on the back which is vented to act as the CPU fan. I also added a PCI fan to cool the...
