    The new Cat 8.4 package did not install for me, received the "no driver found" message and had to backtrack to the DirectX Hotpatch driver then install the Cat 8.4 CCC-only download

    What exactly is a spacer?

    at a Home Depot or Lowes hardware store you can buy 3" screws and some 1 inch long nylon spacer tubes (and 1/4 and 1/2 inch as well), just stack the spacers between the case and rad. If the 2 3/4 inch space is not enough you can special order some 4" screws, #6 x 32 thread machine screws being...

    Using marine protective coatings to stop corrosion?

    the tried and true method to protecting against marine galvanic corrosion is to attach zinc plates to the metal in need of protection, the zinc has a lower noble rating and the zinc molecules will leave ahead of the other metal, usually stainless steel, bronze/brass. With a closed loop you may...

    swiftech hyrdx coolant question

    Swiftech also states that systems with clear panel cases should double the use of the coolant from 5% to 10% to ensure alge doesn't grow due to the tubing be exposed to light coming thru the clear panels. Some people here have said that the use of aquarium anti-alge products works as well, so...

    LP3065 question (with a bit of Matrox thrown in)

    1. Can the HP LP3065 take 1280x800 on a single-link DVI connection and display it filling the screen, or not? yup, before I was able to get a video card with a DVI-Dual link port I had to use my older 7800GS AGP which only had a DVI-Single port and it worked just fine, filled the screen up...

    Are there any 3rd-party stands/accessories for rotating your monitor?

    the LP3065 uses a 100mm mounting plate/bracket and fits the Peerless model LCD 101 arm I'm using just fine (most arms come with 75mm => 100mm adapter plates and screws but even if not I've seen these for around $3-4). PS on the Westinghouse, there is a plastic cap on the back of the monitor...

    Acer AL2423Wdr vs. Acer AL2423WR

    both those monitors have height adjustment, they use the same stand. I own an Acer AL2423W which I purchased from Newegg last Fall, it looks identical to the current model except for the actual color of the plastic, mine is a light grey/dark silver and the current model is silver. The Amazon...

    Are there any 3rd-party stands/accessories for rotating your monitor?

    I have this exact monitor and it is 100mm VESA compliant. The factory stand only uses the bottom 2 screws and slips into plastic slots for the top, once you remove the stand from the back of the monitor you will expose the top 2 screws. This monitor is really light, the User Manual lists it at...

    8800GTX + 6600GT in a 3 Monitor Setup

    I just finished dealing with this type of problem. I have 2 8800 GTX's and a 7600GT installed with 6 LCD monitors hanging off of the DVI ports. It took a lot of trial and error to get the setup solid but in the end it turned out to be simple when using the most recent drivers and BIOS updates...

    Koolance 8800 Block: Pics and Evaluation

    MetsFan978, did you use the thermal tape also or were you able to use AS5?, just curious since that tape looks like its only good for a few on/offs and then it might be time for new tape and when I tried to google thermal interface material tape I didn't get much back as far being able to buy a...

    2 X (Swiftech 3 x 120mm radiator Passive) Can Handle ?

    The Scythe S-FLEX SFF21D 800 RPM 120mm Silent fan is truly a great silent fan, it pushes about 33 CFM which is around half of what a full bore 120mm fan will push but boy is it quite (I bought 2 at Heatsink Factory for $15 each). I had bought 2 SilenX iXtrema Pro 120mm Ultra Quiet Case...

    Dual Power Supplies

    Here is a snippet from www.xbitlabs.com when they were evaluating the Fortron/FSP VGA-only power supply last May 2006; "Every high-consumption component is now powered from the +12V source and the +12V power rail is split in several PSU outputs. As a result, the graphics card and processor...

    Dual Power Supplies

    The PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750s have a max 12 amp AC rating, so I would say someone could have unexpected problems if anyone was really running these hard on one typical household 15 amp outlet. In my case I had an electrician add 2 extra outlets (4 outlet box each) in my computer room...

    Dual Power Supplies

    I tried to get a dual power supply system setup and couldn't get it right. I purchased a Lian-Li PC-G70B case, it's a tower with room for 2 power supplies and includes a wiring harness which allows both units to be turned on/off at the same time using the normal case button (the harness...
