Hi, how good does usb-hubs work with long cables? Have a 5meter usb-cable, doesnt work atall with my keyboard or mouse but works good with a usb-memory and webcamera. Need to hook up a usb-hub to this cable. How much power can a usb-hub supply and is it enough for 3 usb-ide adapters? Have...

How accurate is real temp? Reseated the cooler and thoroughly cleaned the heatsink and somewhat lapped it alittle. Had AS5 on it and changed to mx2. The fan blows air through the heatsink now instead of drawing air. The cpu idles at 24-25celsius with an occasional dip to 23celsius with a...

Whats the difference between cooling a case and cooling a bigger area such as a closet? Have an antec sonata with 2 speedcontroled 120mm fans drawing air into the case and only exhaustfan is in the psu(corsair hx520w) These fans move enough air through the case when running at 7v to...

Ok, have not much experience with recent chipset or ddr2, mainly with nforce2 and ddr1.

I only wonder why i havent done it earlier :rolleyes: I can and more so ;) Will try to. Im actually a bit surprised how few do anything like this with computers, for me its the cheapest way to get a silent computer and will no longer have a big bulky case standing in the middle of a table...

Hi, im growing weary of the noise from the computer when playing games at night so im going to move it into a closet, which also will give me more space on the table and make my room look better. I aim to run all fans at 12v for maximum cooling and design it to make the fans inaudible. Have...

Memories can use a wide variety of chips which doesnt always work good together when mixed from what i understand.

Hi, going to buy some memory for a quite ordinary computer. It has an e4300 running with a 1066mhz fsb on a intel p965 chipset based motherboard and its mainly used to browse internet, watch movies and play games. Im not interested in benchmarkingnumbers or extremeoverclocking. I priority...

Hi, can get ahold of kingston valueram ddr2-800 2x2048mb cheaply but will it work with a asus p5b-e plus motherboard with intel P965 chipset? Manufacture part# KVR800D2N5K2/4G Regards

Hi, looking for a printer and found these 2. Both are colour-lasers and cost the same. Ethernet 10/100 BaseTX, large papercapacity and lots of ram doesnt matter to me. My needs are simple, print text once or twice a month with good quality Which brand is best? Which one can print most...

Then it is what i thought, need for balanced in/out fans is a myth, whats important is good airflow throughout the case. Not necessarily, i have an antec sonata with 2 speedcontroled 120mm case-fans blowing air into the case. The case is riddled with holes but this setup was good enough to...

Thermal paste is AS5 and cooler was mounted a year ago or so. Ventilation is good, so good so i could cool an amd64 winchester at 2.4ghz passivly without exceeding 54celsius. The backsidefan(120mm) is blowing air into the case more or less right on the cpu-cooler. Cpu-coolerfan is mounted so...

Hi, i have many times heard people say its important to balance the ventilation in cases so an equal amount of air is drawn into the case as blown out of the case by fans. I have asked about this many times but sofar noone have been able to give me a good explanation so feels more and more like...

Hi, what is the power requirments for the nd-2510a? I have a 3.5" usb-case for ide harddrives im thinking of modifying so i can use it with a dvd-burner instead. The powersupply is 1500ma 12v, 5v is provided by the usb-ide adapter. Regards

Hi, have an e4300 which is slighly overclocked, fsb is raised from 800 to 1066 but thinking of overclocking a bit more. The cpu is cooled by a first generation thermalright ultra90 with a lowspeed 92mm fan, the back casefan blows air towards the cpu cooler. Maximum temperature i have seen when...
