    Zalman 7700 socket 775 too loose?

    I just reworked the setup in my sig (Abit IP35 Pro and Zalman cnps7700-cu) and noticed that I could actually lift the Zalman off the surface of the CPU just by tugging on it, and I wasn't even pulling very hard. I have it set to ramp up according to the CPU temp, and the CPU stays around 45C but...

    Future Proofing @ 1900x1200

    A single 8800GT plays TF2 maxed out at 1920x1080 (still CPU limited due to lack of proper multithreading support), I haven't installed anything else since I got my 42" LCD (actually, that's a lie... Starcraft runs just fine in case you were wondering). As for future proofing, you have to figure...

    How is this for a new gaming pc?

    That looks pretty good for the most part, but this PSU supports higher max amperage on all rails except 5v and I think I'd trust OCZ more than Thermaltake (and it's cheaper after rebates): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341012 You also might be able to find a better...

    Sub Question... kind of complicated....

    I'm currently running a 12" Kenwood car sub in a box with a Kenwood mono amp: KAC-8103D (discontinued; this is the new one). Of course, you'll want an amplifier that closely matches your subwoofer's specs. The important thing here is the power supply; like the others have said, computer...

    Project: Team Fortress 2 Sentry Turret

    Next time you're at a LAN party, you'll have to carry around a gigantic adjustable wrench and smack everyone who walks by, occasionally hitting the computer too.

    Console's audio routed through computer?

    I have a 5.1 setup by running my card's analog outputs directly into amplifiers and out through speakers -- no special receivers or anything. I currently use my motherboard's onboard sound but will be upgrading to a good sound card soon (what I'm picking will be determined later, or possibly by...

    Microphone for surround-sound setups?

    I have a custom surround setup (currently quadraphonic, will be 5.1 once I get a center speaker and finish the sub enclosure, but that's irrelevant). I want to know what kinds of mics people use for surround setups. I currently use an old headset, draping the headband around the back of my...

    Today's Solid Motherboard?

    I'm a huge fan of ASUS, having built both Socket A and 939 systems using their boards (A7N8X and A8N32-SLI), but they just don't currently have a board with all the features I want and at a good price point for Socket 775. Just like your link suggests, I went with the IP35 Pro this time around...
