I`m running a barton 2500+ Athlon, and want to try and keep the noise down. My case is a Thermaltake XSazer III, and has two fans blowing from outside directly onto the CPU location, and a further two suckong air out from the side of the CPU location. The noiseiest part of the system is...

Intel has finally come out with Win2K drivers for SATA RAID 0, so now I'm thinking about replacing my EIDE drives with the SATA Raptors in RAID 0 configuration. Any comments on these drives or experiences with the setup I'm contemplating? TIA

is it possible? i've heard somewhere that there's a voltage difference, true?

I have a GeForce 2-MX400/64MB that has been giving me trouble. (Before anyone says to biff it and buy a new one, I'm broke okay?) It first started giving me trouble in a system that had the AGP bus running too high due to overclocking the FSB. It was in my main machine so I borrowed the money...

I'm having trouble running my modded Celeron 1000A @ 1333. It keeps locking up my system within 5 minutes after starting a 3D game or watching a DivX movie. Prime95 is stable though for hours.

I have an AMD 1800+XP @ 1621MHZ, 512MB DDR, Asus A7V266-E mobo, and I'm running a Sapphire Radeon 7000 64MB OC'ed from 155.3MHz to 173MHz. I'm just waiting a couple months to upgrade my video card but in the mean time, is 173MHz safe to run at? There is a heatsink on the card but no fan. I...

Thermatakes hermaltake W0014 Silent Purepower 480W seems to be a good buy. I mean the brand isnt that unknown and its cheaper than the main brands ENERMAX and ANTEC. But i dont know much about PSU's and its reliability. I basically have 5 fans, 1 optical drive, zip, disk, 2 harddrives in a...

Alright a couple questions. I'm planning on upgrading a couple pieces of my computer and need some advice since I haven't been keeping up-to-date....RAM, I need a 512MB stick of DDR that can easily do 200FSB, has decent timings, and is reasonably priced (i.e. less than $90 including shipping). ...

Has anyone configured MBM5 (MotherBoard Monitor) successfully on the IS7? I cannot ID some of the fan & Temperature sensors properly. Here is what I *have* confirmed: The Winbond W83627HF-2 *is* the NorthBridge (MCH) fan, and the WinBond-2-Diode *is* the CPU temp. But there are 2 temp sensors...

I recently figured out how to modify Upgradeware's Slot-T adapters so they support dual PIII-S processors on P2B-DS mainboards. I've added a page to my P2B Modification Guide with all the details: http://tipperlinne.com/p2bmod This makes Dual PIII-S on a P2B-DS much more practical since the...

this is off topic, but i wasnt exactly sure the right newsgroup for it. i have 2 sticks of 128 mb rdram in my RIMM 1 and RIMM 2 slots. i will be getting 2 additional sticks of 256 rdram. now is it better if i stick the new larger memory sticks into RIMM 1 and 2 or is it going to give...

What's the general opinion of this stuff? I have an XP2600+ on an Epox 8RDA+ and it all runs sweet at 200 FSB. I don't wish to bump up the FSB any more, but I would like to get CAS2 and other timings as fast as I can. Corsair is only available via overseas order from here and would either take 6...

I'm running a 2.4B 142/36 2555mhz memory timings are 2,2,2 6t lead off 2t I'm still benchmarking way below similar systems. Is there a setting I'm missing. I am new to the P4 I knew how to tweak the P3 but these setting are a little different. Any help would be appriciated.

Usually around 1.5x volts. It will say what it's rated for, on the retail box. My P4 2.4C says 1.525v max. - Dennis Strausser Jr stood up, at show-n-tell in and said: Darn, to high a vcore, this thing won't let me set it to 1.65 but will let me set it to...

I recently grabbed a Gigacube 9600Pro VIVO for under AU$300 which I was pretty happy about. All the moreso when I discovered how easy it was to overclock using a program like RadClocker, and how at these increased speeds it often betters the more expensive 9500Pro. I've only had it for a day,...
