    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    So my manual definitely matches the PDF posted by Beaflag VonRathburg - somehow I still have that piece of paper from all those years ago. However, the image on Zalman's own page for the product matches what buschman31 posted. I'm now trying to figure out whether there were two revisions of this...

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    This is a long-shot, but has anybody got the mounting clip lever for a Zalman CNPS-series cooler (specifically a 9500A)? This is specifcally the part I've lost: Unfortunately, the only site I found selling spares has long since discontinued them. Looking to reuse my old 9500A on a retro...

    The [H]ardForum Perpetual Freebies Thread

    Looking for a motherboard for a Shuttle XPC SS56G or similar (ie SS58G, etc.). Motherboard in mine is an FS56, and the AGP slot appears to be dead.

    XFX RX 480 RS - Should I be wary of PCIE power issues?

    If this info is available, I apologize, but I have searched and had trouble finding info on this specific card. Been out of the loop on GPUs for awhile and don't know if the PCIE power concerns are still a thing...

    Looking for Cooling Options for 7970

    You can still get a premade copper shim that will allow the use of universal coolers. Couple places have them: https://modmymods.com/watercool-79x0-gpu-copper-shim-1mm-thick-17194.html https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-vga-supreme-hf-hd7970-cu-adapter

    Atom n450 and applying Arctic Thermal tips

    I'd be wary of using paste in place of a thermal pad, because if the gap between the heatspreader and the heatsink is great enough, the thick layer of paste required would likely not transfer heat nearly as well. It might be worth trying to reuse the thermal pad if possible. Something I've...

    FS/FT: 32GB KingSpec ATA SSD

    I have a 32GB KingSpec SSD (PATA) that I recently bought from Amazon. I'm selling it because I intended to use it in my G3 Clamshell iBook, but it turns out this revision has a newer controller that is incompatible with the iBook's ATA controller. Color me pissed because it's a complete bitch to...

    Hey Starhawk, hate to do this again, but if nobody wants it, I'd play with that board. Got everything needed to run it but the ram and IO card. I have a few 1GB dimms, but they're PC2700, would you still be able to use those? (I assume they'd clock down fine?)

    Just took a look for you Starhawk, but I've only got 72 pin EDO, sorry. Hope you find some though, I love my 386 box :) Did you get the cable and bracket yet btw?

    My Socket 939 Toy

    Yeah I know, its a little bit ridiculous. Super useful feature though. Now that should be a fun setup :D I just grabbed a boxed Lanparty CFX3200-DR for $23 shipped on Ebay; I'm not sure how that happened since Lanparty boards (especially the 939 ones) usually hold their value really well on...

    My Socket 939 Toy

    Yeah honestly I'm really impressed with this board; especially considering it's a Biostar (nothing against them but they're usually pretty barebones). Stable as hell so far, and the overclocking options on it are great. Also, (for those that don't know) this board has an awesome feature in the...
