    Very bizarre heat sink installation problem

    I have an old Thermalright Ultra 120 CPU cooler. I recently bought an Asus P8Z68V-Pro Gen3 motherboard with an Intel i5 2500K CPU. The Thermalright 120 came with monunting brackets for a LGA775 socket, so I bought the following kit to attach it to my new motherboard...

    Need a mobo recommendation.

    Hello, I'm upgrading my old Core2 Duo/Intel D975BX2 setup and I'd like a motherboard recommendation. I figure the best bang for your buck is the i2500 processor. What's a decent motherboard to go with that? I'd like to OC it to around 4 GHZ if possible. I don't need an expensive mobo...

    DG45FC ICH10 temperature monitoring

    For the life of me I can't get a program to monitor the temperature for the ICH10 chipset in Windows. SpeedFan won't do it. HWInfo32 won't do it. It monitors it in the BIOS so I don't see why it won't do it in Windows. Can anyone help me out with this? HWInfo32 says ICH10 AMT is disabled...

    RAID 1 questions

    So I bought all my Windows Home Server hardware, and I have two 750GB drives that I'd like to setup in a RAID 1 array. As this is my first RAID setup, I have a few questions about it before I do. As I understand it, in RAID 5 array, the data is split to the hard drives in a proprietary...

    WHS, RAID, and HyperV

    So I'm new to virtualization, but basically I want to set up a virtual WHS on a HyperV server. The main reason I want to do this is because I'd like to use a RAID 1 array, and I've heard that WHS doesn't work well with raid. So, I'll just install HyperV on a RAID 1 array, and set up WHS on a...

    FS: Aquacomputer Watercooling Stuff

    I've owned all the stuff for about a year and a half. Basically, it's quality stuff, and it's given me zero problems, but I'm sort of tired of water cooling and I'd rather just stick to air from now on. A lot of the stuff I'm selling is aqua computer, and it's nearly impossible to get in the...

    2x120mm rad vs. 1x240mm rad

    So I don't have room in my case for a 240mm radiator, but I could fit in two separate 120mm radiators. Will I basically get the same performance as a 240mm radiator?

    Which is better for GPU? Full cover or GPU Block + ramsinks?

    Which will give me better cooling performance and result in a better overclock? A full cover block like the AquagraFX 8800: http://www.sharkacomputers.com/aqcoaq88gtx.html Or simply a GPU block + ramsinks for the RAM like the Twinplex Pro: http://www.sharkacomputers.com/aqcotwprogpu.html

    Aluminum Cleaner?

    Ok,so I have a Lian Li V1000 case. Beautiful, beautiful case made of 100% brushed aluminum. However, I must have dropped a sharpie on one of the side panels because there is a small black mark, and no matter how much I scrub it won't come off. I tried rubbing alcohol, and it got a little bit...

    Could the 620HX run Xfire-R600s?

    Yes, I know the card isn't out yet, but lets assume the rumors are true and each card will take 240W of juice under full load. So thats 480W right off the bat. Assume 70W for a overclocked core2 under full load. 10W for a HD, 10W for a DVD burner/combo drive, and 20W for the mobo. that's...

    Will 2x2GB work in a BadAxe2?

    Simple question Will this memory kit work in a BadAxe2? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820144060 I'm a little worried there might be some compatibility issues with the 2x2GB sticks because most motherboards are designed to accept 1GB sticks.

    what would happen if...

    What would happen if the reservoir was NOT connected directly to the suction side of the pump? I am asking becasue I am currently designing a WC setup in my case, and to keep the tubbing neat and tidy, the loop is going to be pump->CPU->mobo->GPU->reservoir->radiator->pump I've read that...

    Thin tubbing (1/4") vs big tubbing (1/2") - fluid dynamics

    I've been doing some thinking, and a basic fluid dynamics law states that in a closed loop: flow_in - flow_out - friction = 0 so under ideal conditions where the friction is zero, flow_in = flow_out regardless of the tubbing. Now when you consider friciton (here is a good website...

    R520 delayed. Not looking good.

    http://globeinvestor.com/servlet/ArticleNews/story/RTGAM/20050623/wati0623 Looks like we aren't going to see the R520 until Q1 of 2006. Furthermore, after reading about their earnings, this is not looking good for ATI. Looks a lot like 3dfx's situation when they went under.

    Why do poeple like GSkill so much

    I have been seeing a lot of comments that GSkill RAM is awsome, but for the life of me I don't see why it is so special. I know it is TCCD which are good chips for OCing, but there are at least 20 other brands out there that use TCCD so what is so special about it? Not only that but from the...

    What is the difference between Neo4 Plat SLi and Neo4 SLi

    I really like MSI's K8N Neo4 SLi motherboard, but it seems to come in two flavors: the K8N Neo4 Platinum SLi, and the K8N Neo4 SLi. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what is the difference between the two, but the platinum costs about $40 more so I assume it offers additional features.
