I am interested in overclocking my system. I would appreciate any input on how I go about doing this or any links out there that explain it really well.

where can I find disk management?

I am using the 74GB Raptor for my OS and games and I wanted to use my WD 160GB SATA for storage of other stuff. I can boot up with the Raptor and save stuff to it but Windows will not list the 160GB drive under My Computer... What do I do?

Thanks so much man I wasn't sure if the green board could be exposed like that THANK YOU

Question for Saturnine2: You said that you have the same setup as me... IC7-G and the AlCu 7000 and now this Swiftech 159. The Brackets on the mobo are not the same as in the diagram for the Swiftech hs. The brackets on the board are between the borders of the chip whereas the diagram shows...

I am looking for a good heatsink+fan for my ATI Radeon 9800PRO. Any suggestions or recommendations? and how in the world do i get the stock heatsink off?

After I unclip it, is the hs "stuck" to the chip at all, or does it come right off? and did u just clean it off with acetone?

i was messin around with the abit hs brackets the other night... to get them off, I just press down and out of the little hooks? or is there some other trick?

Where can i find that swiftech hs?

I have to be careful with size because io have a Zalman 7000 AlCu CPU headsink and fan which is quite large. Any reccommendations?

My northbridge fan is just about fried on my ABIT IC7-G mobo. I need to know what size this thing is and where i can order a new one. Someone please help!!!!

Does Raid (having 2 drives) help anything? What does it do?

I just ordered a WD Raptor 74 GB 10,000 RPM HDD SATA. What exactly is RAID? Does anything special have to be done to set it up?

It actually does both. When it begins to get any strain on it, (open a program) it sounds like it starts to spin extremely hard. Then it will click. There is no chance that the PSU is goin bad on me?

I just got Call of Duty: United Offensive and when I run it my hard drive "clicks" kinda loud and the game freezes up momentarily. This happens a few more times and then the PC will just restart. The computer has been having much longer boot up times and shut down times and seems quite a bit...
