I just got a AMD FX 8350 to replace my 4100 CPU, and everything seemed good until I ran Prime95. I ran the blend test to see the temperature, and stuff got hot. When I say stuff, I mean there's a heatsink next to the CPU that cools what I'm guessing are power regulators, and that got hot to...

I'm trying to get a power controller to lower the speed of my water pump, and I got the LAMPTRON FC4. Some reason the black one costed $10 more then the silver, but whatever. Total was $30 from www.frozencpu.com not including shipping. Some reason the transistors get very hot, the one that...

I built a HTPC for my sister and had to fix it recently. The hard drive went bad. Popped a new one in and noticed the drives were powering up and down. Both HD and DVD drive. Had an extra power supply, so I threw that in there and that stopped, but then the PC wouldn't go into standby and...

My HTPC has a Jetway hz03-gt with AMD Phenom II X4 820 that had run into a series of problems. The system is custom water cooled. So I noticed that my HTPC was running hot for no reason what so ever. It was hitting 80c doing nothing. So I too apart the water cooling system and found...

I have this weird topology on my store. It's one leased line and 3 aDSL lines that all together forwarding traffic on single clients for different purposes. It's leased for games, adsl for http general traffic, adsl (2) for youtube traffic only and an adsl (3) for downloads. All working...

I'm very serious, and no it's not to make your computer look pretty. Anyone who's had a failed hard drive and hates it should really consider doing this. A while ago I accidentally forgot to tighten a hose for my water cooling setup on my HTPC, and had to dry a lot of components off. Luckily...

Got an old Abit NF7-S motherboard and it stopped working. Power supply exploded but the motherboard would continue to work for another week or two, and then it just stopped posting. None of the capacitors are bulging so I assume that a voltage regulator is bad. How would I go about...

I decided to bring back my old Evercool WC-202 water cooler and replaced the pump with one from FrozenCPU. I lapped my Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition to the point where it shows cooper, which was when I was able to get it flat. Wet sanded it from 180, 400, 600, 800, 1000, and finally 2000 crit...

I'm trying to resurrect my old Evercool WC-202 (Kingwin AWC-1) that I dug up from my attic. The pump failed, and the water block doesn't fit my Phenom X4. The kit uses 3/8" OD tubing. Will any water block and pump fit, or there's only a certain size I can go with? I'm not interested in...
