    Thermal paste in my socket...

    For any future folks with the same problem, consider getting a can of flux remover or flux cleaner. It is usually very similar to the spray cleaners for electronics which one or two earlier posters mentioned. Flux remover is made to remove the residual solder flux from boards and parts...

    Looking for some quiet fans...Opinions?

    All the fans listed by folks here have received good reviews over at silentpcreview.com. It's hard to go wrong with any of those choices. Just chiming in so you don't get confused by all the choices folks have offered. Keep in mind that it is much more difficult to quiet down an 80 mm...

    Choice of Five Heat Sinks

    I have five heat sinks on hand from a...well it's irrelevant why I have them. I have five heat sinks and would appreciate opinions on which would be the best choice to use. I suspect that in my case it doesn't actually make a lot of difference, but I can't seem to decide. The five are...

    Comeback for PCI?

    There are plenty of boards with few or no PCI slots. It's nice that MSI and Gigabyte build a few boards with more PCI slots for the few people who want/need them. In my case, I'm building a MythTV system and want four tuner cards. The best tuner card value for me was the Kworld 115 PCI...
