    Temperature Range for a Phenom II?

    Probably smart. That said, I've done that a number of times with no problems. I guess safe is better than sorry though.

    Temperature Range for a Phenom II?

    Stock temperature. I don't have a need to overclock the thing. Protools is a demanding piece of software, but this phenom with 4 gigs of ram has been doing the trick. It's closed case. I have two intake 80mm fans up front (one at the bottom of the case, one flowing over the hard drives)...

    Temperature Range for a Phenom II?

    It's a Scythe Mugen 2, linked above. I can use all 4 of my ram slots, but I can't change the first two without pulling out the motherboard, unscrewing the HSF, etc. Thankfully i have a 2gb stick in each slot right now, so I don't think I'll need to change them anytime soon. (That maxes me...

    Making my comptuer more quiet

    I'm using a Phenom II quad-core 3.4 ghz on a Gigabyte motherboard. I have a home recording studio setup. I'm looking for any bits of information anyone might have on how to make my computer more quiet. I'm open to almost anything but water-cooling. Putting it in another room is an option...
