Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have a P4P800-E and it does "chirp" but I am not worried because all of the motherboards I have owned have done it. It is simply the power circuitry under pressure for a while until it adjusts. I overclock, and if I do not set the BIOS to a little more voltage than I want, I hear it because it...
You can work out what the beep codes are by looking at your manual, but it does sound like a vga problem. Clean the contacts on the card, and make sure it is seated properly. Also, try with an old card to see that it is not the card that is borked for one reason or another.

I was to understand that dell made their own OEM motherboards, and you know how they let you pick your parts if you want, so I'm thinking they'd leave room for plenty of upgradability, so it might have a AGP slot. I don't know about the processor queston.
I bought myself a tube of generic Silver based compound for AUD$9.00 and it works just as well for the purpose. The tube is also twice as large as most are so i found it to be good value.
Yes, the pink paste. hated it. It came on the Northbridge heatsink on my P4P800-E, and to get it of, i mate sre it was very warm, or hot, and then i peeled it, but it stuck like bubble gum, so i rubbed it and it came off fairly well, then i cleaned it and applied my own grease. About a 10 degree...
Yes, the best way to mount it is so that there is air being blown on to the heatsink, not from the case up through to the heatsink, because there will be limited airflow due to the base of the heatsink, whereas if it is blowing air onto it, it will blow air right down to the base in it will give...
