    Do you have a photo of the fan mounted to the NB with this "paperclip" method?

    Does Vista still Suck

    Why all the hate? I like VISTA... but I couldn't figure out how to get around the UAC blocking my startup programs. Is there an easy way to do this? If so... PLEASE let me know. You don't have to be a hater. I never said I was an expert on this. :rolleyes:

    Does Vista still Suck

    If you find out how to do that... I'd like to know. ;) Everest wouldn't load on startup with Vista...as Vista kept blocking it. That's the straw that finally got me to diable the UAC.

    Does Vista still Suck

    Try Vista... and you'll answer your own question! :D I should be more clear... I still run the firewall, Defender, etc.... but I disabled the User Account Control so that it doesn't block my startup programs and ask me every FRIGGIN time I want to do something. It gets really annoying...

    I'll play the other side of the coin. I've had it for a few weeks and I really like it. Some nice features have been added and once you disable all the security mumbo jumbo... its great to use.

    DS3 Rev 3.3

    I, too, am still running F9. After a few bumpy days, I seem to have it all worked out. Currently OC'ed to 3008 MHz (E6400) and stable. No cold boot issues for me anymore. For the first few days, the board acted a little flaky... but it straightened out.

    No POST - need help with my DS3

    The new board booted right up and runs fine with the Thermalright heat sink. It could've been a grounding issue... but I doubt it, as I am using pretty long stand'offs on the board... but it could've been an issue.

    New DS3 Rev. 2 board with F9 Bios

    Ah... that's not too bad. You can wait for that. I'm afraid of going any higher. I know the temps will be fine with Orthos... but the IntelTAT full load temperatures scare me a little bit.
