Athlon 64 thermal interface material by
Grumble
Hello everybody,
According to several websites, boxed Athlon 64 CPUs come with a thermal
pad (A.K.A. phase-change material) pre-applied on the heatsink.
e.g. http://www.madshrimps.be/printart.php?articID=135
"Also interesting to know, this heatsink has some sort of thermal pad
pre-applied....

Low-end PSUs always dissipate the max rated power? by
Grumble
Hello everyone,
I'm rather confused over something I was told today.
Low-end PC power supply units always dissipate whatever power they are
rated for, e.g. a 400W PSU will always dissipate 400W whether the system
is idle or not. If the system does not need the power, then that power
is dissipated...

Case fan air flow by
Jon
Which direction should the air flow on a case fan? I have it sucking in
but find no difference in the cpu or case temperature. The manufacturer
(Enermax) indicates it's reversible, but the speed control knob doesn't
appear to be removable. Does anyone else use Enermax?

CL2.0 & CL2.5 help by
Andrew Clarkson
I just purchased a Ramses 256mb PC2100 266MHz memory chip, to
accompany (I thought) the 256mb chip already in my machine.
Trouble is, the one in my machine is CL2.0, the new one is CL2.5.
Any way to resolve this in the bios or externally?
Thanks! :)

RAM memory problem (CAS latency) by

After researching the subject for 3 hours, here's my question:
I had a Pentium III 550 Mhz computer for the last 4 years, running
Windows 98.
Last week I installed XP on it. The old 64 MB RAM was barely keeping
up. So I bought 128 MB RAM. Both memory sticks are working, so I have

Bad move on AMD's part. Some of the best 754 pin based motherboards only

4 x DDR = Slower? by
Paul Kelly
I just updated my old p4 3ghz with MSI 875P chipset from 1 to 2gb of
memory. it had 2x512mb (PC3200 cas2) corsair twinx. now it has 4 of them.
suddenly the BIOS reports the memory speed as 266 (133 DDR) instead of
400DDR (200DDR).
take any of the two sets and its back to 400 again.
anyone know...
