    Which 6600GT?

    I'm tired of seeing garbage like this here. Seems like this whole board is 90% newbies replying to any thread they can giving bad facts and terrible advice. The XFX should reach 570-580 core and 1200-1220 mem. It's on the less quiet side.

    Blow Hole?

    150CFM for an exhaust is about 5x overkill. And make sure you've got an intake sucking noticably more air then your exhaust is blowing out or you're gonna steal your PSU's airflow, cause your PSU needs air to pull from inside the case too.

    Need AMD data sheet for reading product codes

    I can't find the right datasheets on AMD's site to decypher A64 product codes (like AMN3400BIX5AR). Can someone gimme a link?

    AXP-m 2500+ OC limit?

    Since I have a gig the FSB tops out at 235 2.5-2-2-9 3.0v CPC. At 11x I can't get 2585 stable more than an hour so I run 230 for 2530 and get 12+ hours Prime. Chipset is 1.7v. When you spread that super thin layer you gotta have a properly lapped sink; at least 1000 grit on a piece of thick...

    SI-97....no good

    c00z, use a 92mm fan, will you please? Half the air from that 120mm is not moving through the heatsink.

    What average temp a computer should be at?

    What "amd 3200" do you have? An AthlonXP or an Athlon64? Cause the XP is fine up to 80C load.

    SI-97....no good

    You're using a 120mm fan on a 92mm sink? I dunno how you even got the thing on there but I'm sure the outer edges of the blades, where the most airflow is, aren't pushing air through the fins. And don't even try a 120->92 adapter even if you can figure out how to attach it to the sink, cause...

    MBM 5 and CPU Diode readings...

    The diode is in the core. That's the temp you want to gauge.

    AXP-m 2500+ OC limit?

    You'll need at least 1.80v for 2400 and probably 1.90-1.95v for 2500, which is impossible on that board unless you wanna do a Vcore mod. Just put it at 1.85v and hope for 2500. 48C load is high for 2400MHz @ 1.75v. My ambient temp is always 70 and my mobile's load temp is about 50, and thats...

    AMD64 3000+ won't go past 2.3GHz (754 style)- some help if you will

    1.55v? You still have 0.2v to go.

    Pushing My Mobile 2500+

    Anything over -100 is going to inhibit performance, and and according to AMD an "Athlon XP" processor is safe up to 85. I see no other data for mobiles.

    WTB: Full aluminum side panel for Antec P160

    Sounds good to me. I'll buy someone a windowed panel if they send the original aluminum one.

    WTB: Full aluminum side panel for Antec P160

    Basically the panel hole is too big. I had it perfect and spot epoxied the fan to the inside for a screwless solution. The fan has a steel housing and rotor with the paint ground off and sanded to match the case, so I thought I'd try to grind down the edges of the hole to bend in slightly and...

    WTB: Full aluminum side panel for Antec P160

    If anyone purchased the P160's windowed panel after their initial full aluminum case purchase, I'd like your original side panel, as shown above. I fudged what was supposed to be a touchup on a (sweet) 172mm fan mod. Now it's crap and I need to start over. :p PM an offer, whatever...

    To give or not to give my BH-5 3.8v.....am I nuts?

    I've seen a zillion posts warning about overvolting your memory, and funny enough, I've never seen one credible post about someone killing their's doing it. But destroying the memory controller on an A64 is something I've heard about. :p

    AAHHH!!!! Broken pin on my 3400, the 2.86Ghz one!!

    If it does come back functional, don't be suprised if it's become a 2.2GHz chip. :(

    thermal paste off to side

    Video heatsinks are rarely flat, and chips never are. He needs to lap the heatsink and use a good amount of paste to avoid creating those air pockets, unless he wants to lap the chip too. Chips can be lapped but the two times I've tried it took two hours starting with 200 grit emory board to be...

    thermal paste off to side

    If you were careful for cover it very evenly (or if you smeared on gobs of paste like a peanut butter sandwich), then the bare spot you saw would be where there was the most contact.

    Had my system overclocked and stable for a year, now its unstable! Why?

    Bi-monthly? Not a big deal but that might be overestimating depending on how dusty your home is. I've had my system air filtered for about three and half months I think, and besides a fine film on the area under my side intake, the system looks as good as the day I cleaned it out.

    Case Fans? Need some opinions

    Newegg doesn't carry many fans at all. Directron still has the largest selection I can find. First of all, you've probably got a highly inefficient setup right now. Put your hand behind your case where the backs of your cards are and you'll probably feel a lot of air, which means your exhaust...
