why the obsession with CPU temperature? by Rocketman
From time to time I read posts from people who are obsessed with cooling their CPU. I'm interest to know if my CPU is operating within the manufacturer's limits and my system is very stable, what do I gain if I keep the temperature lower? I mean, would I pick up some speed if the CPU runs...

Outlook Express Mail Query by | the sys admin |

GMC Neo Classic? by Bowser
Does anybody have experience with this case? It's supposed to be a "silent" case, but I'd like to hear a hands-on opinion, rather than marketing BS.

Recommend a FAN for the Pentium Pro 1MB 200MHz by rcm

Completely powerless! by jrwalt
Please help, I thought I had experienced minor damage after a power outage. But it seems as though the surge jumped my old protector and fried my power supply. I replaced the PS and get no power at all to anything. I thought it might be the power switch, but I jumped those pins and still got...
