I was just wondering if it is possible to replace the original zalman 9500 fan with a different 92mm fan, such as a panaflow one or something. Speaking performance wise, would it make sense to mount something like a 120mm fan outside the recess of the heatsink fins? would that make a noticable...

I have a BFG 6600gt agp overclocked straight from the manufacturer (525mhz clock and 1050mhz ram). I have used it for a little over a month, and it still has a full lifetime warranty. It works perfectly for me and runs battlefield 2 on high settings and 2x aa. IMO, its the best "bang for...

I just got an Asrock s939 dual sata2 and my board temperatures have stayed constantly at 27C even when overclocking my opteron 146 to 2.9 GHZ which is a good thing, but i was wondering if that could just be a bad reading. it stays at 27C even after 10hrs of prime95. this seems a little...
