I have this case and have a H80i now but want more. The H80i is my first water cooler so i have no experience building a water loop. I only want to cool my cpu. I was thinking either 2 x 120mm radiators each with push/pull or maybe 1 x120 and one 240 on the top. The 240 ontop would be just...

I run the Noctuas and love them.

It does not show up in bios. It is not hook up sata or ide, It is a USB device.

I have a hard drive I got from another computer that I put into my external usb ADS drive enclosure It is a 60GB hard drive. But I only see 38.28 GB. I tried reformatting etc in Windows disk management but no luck. I tried partitioning it but I can only get a ~38GB partition. In Disk...

My Acer 4230 travelmate laptop's screen/cover had some slack in the hinges so a few weeks ago I tightened the hinges where they attach to the body. This helped but did not completely fix the wiggle. So I took the LCD panel completely off today and found that the top left screw mount is broke...

thanks for the reply. The last 4 PC's (2 dimensons, 1 sony, 1 hp) I have worked on had 2 empty slots so I disagree with : "this usually means that you only have two ram slots" they were also "expandable". Most laptops I work on use both slots though. But I think it really varies...

According to Everest it has 4 slots. Regardless, is it not better to get rid of the existing ram to ensure no conflicts. Also if I go with the GSkil as recommended by munkle then I get a matched pair with faster timings and utilize maximum allowable ram for this system. Thanks munkle, I...

I am working on a VAIO RA820G desktop It has (2) 512 sticks of DDR400 @ 3-3-3-8 I want to have 2 GB total. should I: 1) lose the existing 2 sticks and go with a 2x1GB kit $110 or 2) leave the 2x512 and add a 2x512 kit $60 or 3) leave the 2x512 and add a single 1GB stick $50...

sounds promising , thanks

that does not sound to confusing. So you do not have to put it on a network router then right? Did you have to enable file and printer sharing on your PC's ? thanks for the reply!

I am considering getting a wify capable printer so that I can use it for my desktop and laptop and keep it 20 feet away in a closet. would I have to go through my router to do this or can I individually connect my laptop and desktop with the printer? Do I have to enable my file and...

I ordered the 2x1GB 533 so now that I will have 2 slots open should I keep the 2x256 400 MHz in the other 2 slots? Is it better to have 2GB at 533 OR 2.5GB at 400 ? The 533 wont be running that fast since my FSB is only 400 right. should I be comparing timings? The current 2x256...

thank you for the answer I needed to hear. I did not think about the stress on the mem controller and since I am not overclocking then I have no need for the 512's. 2x1gb 533 is what it is gonna be. ty

They do not offer very much in the 400MHz range anyway. I thought the performance would be better from (4) 512 modules rather than (2) 1gb modules ? Also, if I did go that route (2x1GB rather than 4x512GB) should I just go with 533 or the 667 that you linked? Since the FSB is only...

I am working on a friends Dell Dimension 8400 and need to add some memory. Is there any reason not to go from the 400 to the 533 MHz? (If I was not going to use the existing 400MHz modules?) Right now it has 2 x 256MB DDR2 400 (PC2 3200) and I was thinking of getting rid of these and...
