I am interested in overclocking my system. I would appreciate any input on how I go about doing this or any links out there that explain it really well.
I am using the 74GB Raptor for my OS and games and I wanted to use my WD 160GB SATA for storage of other stuff. I can boot up with the Raptor and save stuff to it but Windows will not list the 160GB drive under My Computer... What do I do?
Question for Saturnine2:
You said that you have the same setup as me... IC7-G and the AlCu 7000 and now this Swiftech 159. The Brackets on the mobo are not the same as in the diagram for the Swiftech hs. The brackets on the board are between the borders of the chip whereas the diagram shows...
I am looking for a good heatsink+fan for my ATI Radeon 9800PRO. Any suggestions or recommendations?
and how in the world do i get the stock heatsink off?
i was messin around with the abit hs brackets the other night... to get them off, I just press down and out of the little hooks? or is there some other trick?
My northbridge fan is just about fried on my ABIT IC7-G mobo. I need to know what size this thing is and where i can order a new one. Someone please help!!!!

I just bought a Thermaltake Spark7+ CPU cooler for my 3.4 P4. My idle temps and load temps are hotter than with my stock Intel cooler. I am also using Arctic Silver 5. What can I do to lower my temps?
I am looking for a REALLY GOOD heatsink and fan that I can EASILY mount on my ABIT IC7-G board. I have a Pentium 4 @3.4 Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I am thinking about buying the ThermalTake SubZero4G CPU cooling unit. I have a P4 running at 3.4 w/o OC. I am also using the Abit IC7-G mobo with 1GB of DDR400 RAM. I have 7 case fans (5 intake and 2 exhaust). My idle temp is around 49C and my system temp idle is around 32C. Is this a good...
