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...

DVI vs. VGA (monitor) by
Lunaray
Greetings!
I do a lot of photographic work and I'm contemplating replacing my 15"
Viewsonic LCD with something bigger, and with higher performance. My nvidia
Ti4680/8X/128Meg video card supports a DVI connection, so I'm wondering if I
should be looking for a monitor that supports this also? Is...

Outlook Express Mail Query by
| the sys admin |
First I would begin posting in the correct group (windows or software
comes to mind).
Second I would check out a different, more secure e-mail client.
Mozilla Thunderbird is highly recommended.

Recommendations?? ? by
metaphor
I'm building a new PC to replace my current paperweight (PIII-650). Just
started and today I bought an Antec 480 TruPower/TrueBlue and an ASUS
P4C800-E Deluxe. I like the blue light from the PSU and the cable management
is a good start but I plan on dressing them completely. Now I need to...

Bill L
Hi all
On Anandtech they've got a round-up of quite a few PSU's the Antec TruePower
330 watt I'm using doesn't fair particularly well, particularly for AMD
systems and I was thinking of replacing the PSU anyway.

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
Depending on how much clearance is in the case above the CPUs, try putting
in longer screws with spacers between the HS and fan. Maybe this will help
temporarily to stop the fans from overheating from contact with the
heatsink. Rubber washers of some type, or those old motherboard case...

ram speed question by
Iain Robinson
I've decided to buy a 333MHz FSB Athlon (2500+ Barton) and I believe the FSB
&
RAM are better to be in synch? Some points I'm still not sure on;
-Is there any advantage in buying PC3200 RAM, to run at PC2700 speeds?
(would it overclock better?)
-If I ran it at 400MHz would it be beneficial, as...

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...
