    PC Suddenly a BBQ

    fans arent the problem. Its something else. most computers should be able to get those temps with one 80mm exhaust fan. Airflow isnt your problem here. Something else is wrong

    sold my 9800 Non Pro to my roomate for 190 bucks about 2 months ago. Tonight we found out that his core goes up to 430 on stock cooling. I might add that his case is in a little cubby hole and he has virtually NO AIR FLOW THROUGH HIS CASE. God damn, wish i wouldn't have let that card go. 100...

    Anyone try out Aerocool's DP-102 heatsink?

    yes, i had used to have on on my amd and it was awesome. With two thermaltake smartfans i was idling and loading UNDER 30 C. The clip mechanism takes some jimmy rigging though or else the damn thin pulls itself off the die and your system shuts down. i made a thread called the "Aerocool...

    Recommendation for a heatsink for an Abit NF7-S?

    how come no one likes the Aerocool DP102. before i had my watercooling i had nothing but flabbergasting results with it. that thing was honestly cooling my processor to absurdly low temps. install it correctly, throw two decent fans on it, and it does an AMAZING JOB.

    Recomend a good ATI overclock/tweak program?

    "w1zzards tool" is what a lot of people use. Its easy to use, free, and good from what ive experienced. There is a thread around here where it tells where to get it, but i dont recall where it is. I think the thread was called called "W1zzards Tool" and I am the thread starter.

    Brand new SB75G2 + LCD gaming station

    I wouldnt go as far as saying gaming sucks on an LCD, but i myself would never buy an LCD for gaming. I prefer a decent CRT over even the best LCD's. BUT....that doesnt mean i wouldnt kill for a Grandcanyon Display from the L Store.

    Recommendation for a heatsink for an Abit NF7-S?

    aerocool dp102. I know everyone dogs on this heatsink, but i got it to perform better then watercooling at the expense of noisy loud big fans. im on an exos system now though

    18°C CPU temp with air cooling...

    yes it is. My dp102 did it finely. You gotta get it nice and cold and it will hold the coolness for the rest of the day. Im on watercooling now though and my temps are hotter though. but cooling is un-audible now.

    Tell me about the Koolance Case

    i have the external model and i love it. That case looks like a heavy pile of crap that i didnt want. As far as cooling goes, i dont think its negligable what kind of difference you'll see from the external one

    How can I get my computer to shutdown when a sound certain sound is heard?

    orr.....you can hook up clapper to your PC's power cable and then get a HUGE fish tank (one that can hold a full grown dolphin) train the dolphin to clap when he/she hears the sound of the alarm. voila! on another note, why not just get a program such as Motheroard Monitor5 and have it...
