    Motherboard problem? I guess

    OK. Guys I fixed it. Was my bad. It turned out to be a power problem. I had my hd plugged in on the same line as my video card. The card was sucking up too much power. This is why the windows desktop was fine until I had to load something. It also explains why I could surf with no problem but...

    DDR2 for core2 duo

    I am preparing to build a system around the new conroe core 2 duo chip. This will be a gaming pc and I will probably do some overclocking. I'm a little confused on picking the ram because it looks like the core 2 duo bus runs at 1066. The fastest ram that I can find is made for 800 mhz bus. Does...

    AM2 Voltage

    I like to keep my voltage boost to within 10% of stock. This is more of a personal preference and I don't beleive there is any hard and fast rule. It is my personal opinion that any chip should be able to handle a 10 percent bump with no negative impact.

    AM2 or 939 for overlocking?

    I'm researching my next system. I'm planning on buying a dual core chip in july when the prices get cut. I thought I was gonna just do a socket 939 system with an asus a8n32. I plan on overclocking it as close to 3 ghz as I can get. Ive been thinking though. The am2 socket chips are not any more...

    How important is the Northbridge Cooler?

    Abit ai7. My mb fan died so I just unplugged it. FSB is 128 (stock speed is 100). No issues. I would not worry about NB cooling unless you are overclocking hard.

    Innovative && Superior Peltier solution OR America's Next Inventor?

    I'm gonna say no because your water from the peltier hot side eventually goes to your cool side tank negating the effect.

    Overclocking noob

    3800 should get somewhere in the range of 2.4 - 2.6 Ghz with the stock cooler. You will will want to run prime95 or some other stress testing program to make sure its stable. You will want to measure your temp while you are stress testing as well.

    Yate Loon D12SL-12 Question

    The 4 pin molex is what your power supply has on it for connecting drives etc... It should allow you to connect it directly to the power supply instead of using the 3 pin fan connector on your motherboard.

    2 Single Radiators in one loop Ok?

    Well yeah I have a windowed case. Its only a matter of time before she catches on. I'm just going to prolong it for as long as I can. Hopefully by the time she figures it out I will be filling the loop about to throw the switch.

    air flow for top mounted rad

    I think you wanna have the fans pulling air in from the outside because the air outside is going to be cooler than the air in your case. Correct me if i'm wrong cause im new to watercooling myself.

    Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 free after MIRs! (Outpost.com)

    Its the only false positive I have seen so far. It not a problem. I would prefer a false positive every once in a while instead of missing something. As far as performance goes I havent noticed any lag but I havent tried to measure it either.

    Altec Lansing ADA885 4.1 THX-certified, $39 @ Directron!

    I have about 15 years experience building custom loudspeakers. You are correct. You can put a speaker out of phase by simply reversing the + and - wires. You can also put it out of phase electrically in the crossover but they most likeley did it in the wiring. Its worth a try.
