I've got a P4P800 board and a Zalman 7000AlCu on the CPU. Will the NB-1 fit? Cause the Zalman is pretty big. ;)

Earlier today, Far Cry was working fine. THen now when I start it up, the menu and all looks fine, but in-game, there are pretty much no textures and only flat ugly polygons. WTF happened??!?!

I'm currently on a 2.4C w/ a P4P800 and the stuff in my sig. I'm now running 2x256MB PC3200 HyperX with BH-5 modules. OK assuming I am doing 260MHz FSB, my HyperX will be running at 5:4 meaning about DDR410 at 2-2-2-5. Can't do 1:1 because vdimm on P4P800 maxes at 2.85, so I can't push the...

I've got some Kingston HyperX KHX3200/256 that I think is BH-5, but I need to confirm it. Is there any way to make sure short of removing the heatspreader? If no, is removing the heatspreader dangerous?

I've got a Powercolor 9800 Pro 128MB and I'm wondering exactly how many volts it needs as per its specification. Ever since I got my P4P800 mobo, there's a setting there called "AGP VDDQ Voltage" that's been set to 1.50V. The available options are 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8. Anyway, I kinda...

Lol, I can almost hear you people groaning in horror at the prospect of taking a look at another horrible Tt case. Actaully, I agree that the Xaser III looks fugly and the new V is just plain dumb. BUt the Xaser II that I got in November last year was the simplest looking of the lot, so that's...

I'm planning to get a VGA Silencer for my 9800Pro. BUt I'm worried about the pretty tall heatsink that sits on the P4P800 NB. Will the blue retention bracket of the VGA Silencer hit the heatsink? Is anyone here using a P4P800 and a VGA Silencer on their video card? Or can someone with a VGA...

I'm using the Cooldrive4 to control some fans and monitor temps. Anyway, I have one probe on my NB, another on my 9800pro core, one more on the 9800pro memory and the last on the HDD. Problem is that for 2 of the probes, the bloody alarm kicks in at above 50°C. Because my NB, 9800pro core and...

I just picked up a 2 month old Powercolor 9800 Pro 128MB 2 days ago. I know every card is different, but would you guys mind telling me what are the usual OCs a 9800 Pro yields? Default clocks are 380/680, I'm thinking of going to about 400/700. Is that possible on the stock HSF and no ramsinks?

I'm using a 128MB Ti4200 now and have the oppurtunity to get these: ATi 9700Pro - RM590 (~US$155) ATi 9800Pro - RM900 (~US$235) Will I get a huge performance boost in today's and future games by getting a 9700Pro? ANd is the difference between the 9700Pro and 9800Pro worth the extra cash...

I'm currently looking for a new 5.1 speaker system and I'm under a tight budget. Currently, 2 have my greatest attention: Altec Lansing 251 (US$78) Logitech Z640 (US$94) Those are the approximate prices here in Malaysia. I kinda prefer the Z640s now, but alot of reviews say that it's...

I'm wondering whether it's important to have those lil stabilizer pads for the Intel NB. I've read that some people have spoilt their NB core when they didn't use the pads because the pressure wasn't even or something. My P4P800 stock NB heatsink has a white pad thing going all around the...

Here's the thing. I'm currently on an old SB Live Value (4.1 version) and I'm using a set of Creative Inspire 4400 4.1 speakers. Anyway, I got a good deal on a Audigy DE for RM125, about US$30. What I'm wondering is whether I'll actually be able to notice a difference in sound quality and so...

I've got a Tt Xaser 2 and I was thinking of making a blowhole in the side window just above the CPU fan, so that cool air from outside gets blown straight into the CPU HSF. But because my CPU is a lil under the side panel handle, the blowhole is gonna be abit offset to the side, but I figure...

The other time I removed my stock NB heatsink on my P4P800, there was all this white stuff that felt like bubble gum. I rubbed and rubbed with Qtips and some isopropyl alcohol, but some of it was just so stubborn. I ended up peeling it away using tweezers. Obviously, there's still alot of...

Currently I'm using a Zalman 7000-AlCu on my 2.4C and my temps are pretty OK, about 50°C load at 3.1GHz. I was thinking about getting a SP-94, then putting a Tt Smart Case Fan on it. Would the Tt running at full tilt ~75CFM on the SP-94 offer me much better temps than the current Zalman unit...

A friend is bringing in some appliques from Shattered Web. I want to get some big thing to put on the side of my case that is just a bare piece of metal. Can these window appliques be applied to case surfaces? I'm using an aluminium Tt Xaser II case, if the surface matters. :)

I have a P4 2.4C and I want to mount a thermal probe to measure it's actual temp, just so I know whether the mobo temp reading is accurate. Anyway, does anyone have pics of this being done? I tried looking for guides on Google, but came empty. From what I've heard, I just gotta thread the...

I have a few questions about the CoolDrive4 as I am planning to buy it. 1) I understand it uses 3pin fan connectors, so you can't connect fans that use normal 4pin molex. Can I connect my Zalman 7000AlCu fan to it and control the speed using the CoolDrive4? The Zalman fan uses the 3pin...

Right now, I have two standard Tt 80mm fans that came with my case working as front intakes. I'm using the foam material that came with new mobos as a filter material and it's great in keeping dust out, but obviously limits airflow to the point that my load CPU temp has increased from 48 to...

Well I finally got to sleeving my lil Enlight 420W PSU. :) So here's some pics! Removing pins from the plastic connectors were easier than expected, but sliding the damn heatshrink over the molex pins sucked. The completed PSU: A shot of the whole case, sorry if it's a lil big. :D...

Here's mine. I love it so far although my dusty room really shows on the black surface. The only accessories I got for it were the holders for CDs on the left and the magazine ones on the right. Other accessories available were a swinging table that could be attached to the side v-bars and an...
