    Help with thermal pads

    OK, just to update you guys, it's working perfectly and my GPU temps (8800gt) have gone from 59 idle / 95+ load:eek: to 36 idle and around the mid 40s under load, though it might go higher if I run it for longer. Pretty damn good! Time to overclock the hell out of it.;)

    Help with thermal pads

    Yeah I'll go ahead with them as they are. It'll be easy enough to position the pads. Fingers crossed!

    Help with thermal pads

    I just bought 3 of these thermal pads to slip between my waterblock and graphics card mosfets, but I have no idea whether I'm supposed to remove the backing from them. There's no info on the site itself: http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=718555 and the Alphacool site doesn't seem...

    Vista - why is indexing re-enabling?

    Yeah, I apologise for that. I'm hardly saying "Vista sucks" though, am I? I said I don't like the lack of control. Turning something off shouldn't require delving into services windows and knowing that "manual", in fact, does not mean manual, it means "slightly less automatic". I hate that...

    Vista - why is indexing re-enabling?

    I'm afraid that's just the way I respond to obnoxious comments. I'm supposed to know every in and out of Vista just to disable something? And my "lack of understanding" doesn't negate the fact that people who don't have that encyclopedic knowledge of it are going to lack control over what it...

    Vista - why is indexing re-enabling?

    Don't blame me for your lack of understand of how the English language works.

    Vista - why is indexing re-enabling?

    My sister recently had Vista forced on her after buying a Dell laptop, and I've been trying to get it running as smoothly as possible. I disabled search indexing from the hard disk properties window and disabled the indexing service itself, and set it to manual start. However, when I restart...

    Yahoo Sends Letter To Shareholders Over MS Bid

    Yahoo (UK) has been my homepage for at least 10 years simply because I'm used to it. Having a different homepage would feel weird. I use the Google toolbar for everything but I get my "quick glance" news from the Yahoo page because it's pretty much all the same crap.

    Anyone want to be amused and/or offended?

    Check out gamefaqs' "PC game of the year 2007" poll. Peggle? No Orange Box? NO BIOSHOCK?! Are they taking the piss? And who in their right mind would vote for Crysis, as 9,429 people(at time of writing) have done? I don't believe that 9,429 people in the entire WORLD can run that game at its...

    What is causing this problem?

    I've been having problems running games since I "up"graded to Vista a couple of months ago. No matter what graphics driver I use, I have problems with most games. Either they crash immediately, or they have huge artifacts everywhere, or my graphics card resets itself every few minutes. So I...

    Dual monitors in the wrong order

    Before you start mocking me, let me just say that positionally, everything is where it should be. The problem is I updated my display drivers and now my primary monitor is "monitor 2" and my secondary monitor, actually my TV, is "monitor 1". It defaulted to making the TV the primary, thus...

    Dell Dimension XPS 400 Evaluation @ [H]

    Great review, and bloatware is definitely the worst thing in the world. My sister's Toshiba laptop arrived with a few crappy little things that were promptly uninstalled, and no "get FREE whatever!" messages that I can remember, but it did include Norton AV. I didn't expect that at all - it...

    Quick question about the Aqua Cuplex XT & Twinplex

    Mine came with the wrong fittings - the springs I think. They're too stiff to compress...Either that or the bolts are too short. I actually have it on WITHOUT springs... I try not to think about it too much:)

    NexXxos XP Bold slightly better than Cuplex XT?

    A block like the XT doesn't cool a massively overclocked P4 EE all that well? Shock! That's not a good review, since most people will not be using processors that give off that much heat. They might show little if any difference when cooling an Athlon.
