    Can I swap cpu cooler on my 7 year old e machine?

    Since I'd rather not remove MB, is there a way to slow cpu fan? I heard about a $3 cable that would undervolt from 10 to 7 volts to slow fan. I suspect that wouldn't work for me though because my fan frequently revs up for no reason very loud so a %30 reduction would still be to loud. I'd love...

    Can I swap cpu cooler on my 7 year old e machine?

    I have 2006 e-machine T5048 . It is pentium 4, I believe use 775 socket. I am fed up with cpu fan. Way too loud and I've tried cleaning it. I googled my problem but suspect from this thread: http://hothardware.com/cs/forums/t/44718.aspx that I would need to take motherboard out in order to swap...

    value in undervolting/underclocking for me?

    lowering cpu multiplier = lower performance right? In that case I'm hoping won't be necessary and undervolting alone will reduce temps enough for me; Thxx!

    value in undervolting/underclocking for me?

    ok great! No math or sycing or learning curve. So I lower Vcore by one setting at a time; test at full CPU load several hours and keep lowering like this until I crash and then go back 1 or 2 values is that right? When you say 1 value at a time do you mean fractionally value? Is it safe to make...

    value in undervolting/underclocking for me?

    thanks for input. I interperted previous poster as saying there was negligible benefit for me to undervolt and in fact would be putting my components at risk of shorter lifespan but it seems you are in disagreement? Or do you believe keeping my CPU/PSU at 24/7 60c temp is not a problem? And then...

    value in undervolting/underclocking for me?

    Thanks for the input! So your saying there is no value to undervolting for me since I'm running at %100 cpu all the time? I was concerned keeping my system at 60c 24/7 was not a good idea and undervolting will lower temps? I also neglected to mention that in my custom rig the only exhast is out...

    value in undervolting/underclocking for me?

    The main purpose of undervolting/underclocking is less heat & electricity right? I have a PC I keep on all the time for bittorrent. It has E-8400 3ghz duo cpu. I have a P5qu-em ASUS MB that I know is overclocking friendly but I havn't tried yet. Would I save much electricity in undervolting...

    Can I repair my Dell PSU?

    Can I repair my Dell PSU?

    I had a hard time finding the dimensions of my 350 Watt LiteOn PS-6351-2 power supply from my dell vostro 400 but I think this is right: dimensions- 5 7/8 W x 3 3/8 H x 5.5 D. The Corsair linked to above says 5.9"(W) x 3.4"(H) x 5.5"(L) which looks almost the same so I guess it would fit. I...

    Can I repair my Dell PSU?

    My (2009) Dell Vostro came with PSU-- LITEON Model NO: PS-6351-2 350 watt. These are rated Conservatively from my understanding because this dell built system came with GT 8800 and PSU powered it fine. I was moving PC while it was on and it turned off by itself. After this it would not turn...
