I see. Only the most experienced guys on this forum can be smartasses to others. Got it. :D This is exactly how the system is configured, save for the stock fan. As I mentioned earlier, temperature differences are negligible between the stock fan and the Zalman; the Zalman is merely quieter...

Yes, I'm well aware of that and that's how it was done. I guess I should've been more clear.

Thanks for the incredible insight. :rolleyes: However, my thermal application is fine.

Standard AS5 thermal paste, thin layer across the top. The Zalman is mounted on custom retention brackets that have holes for a 939 and connect to an AM2 board. I can only use two 120mm fans on this particular case: one drawing in on the front and one blowing out on the side, positioned over...

I don't need the CPU to be frozen, so I'm not looking for anything hard core. Standard operating temperatures or a pinch better is fine. I'd like to keep it simple and small, but at the same time, I don't want to add a buttload noise to the system, either. Right now the system is virtually...

My Athlon 64 X2 6000 is running a lot hotter than I'd like and I've got a Zalman 7000 sitting on it. I'm pretty sure the problem is the case. I have a Lian-Li PC-V600B which puts the PSU above most of the CPU fan. CPU idles at 40 or so, goes up to 55-57 on load. I'm not sure if its just the mobo...

I just bought a Lian Li PC-V600 and its 120mm fans were incredibly loud, even for spinning at 1000rpm. I replaced them with Silverstone FN122's (didn't need LEDs or fancy colors) and can barely hear a thing. They're a pinch slower, but push about the same amount of air. Huge difference.

I'm loving this case, but every component except the CPU is getting the cooling it needs. I have an Enermax PSU with a huge fan that I thought would be able to pull out enough heat, but it just ain't happening. The rest (video card, hard drives) are nice and cool. I'm interested in switching to...

A lot of the popular online retailers seem to have a poor selection of SFX/mATX power supplies. Are there any recommended shops and brands out there to get? Seems like 100-200w ones are common, but I'd like to go at least 400w if I could. I've searched around on Google and seen a small handful...

I'm curious if anyone is using a third-party application that they like to synchronize Outlook 07 across two or more systems. I have no need for a full blown Exchange setup and would simply like the ability to keep my Outlook data synchronized between my laptop and desktop. I tried SyncPST and...

I'm already forwarding port 1723 to the local address of the machine on the network and I still receive the same error.

I've got a standard Windows XP incoming connection setup on my desktop machine and can connect to it just fine via my laptop from within my Intranet, but when I attempt to do it from the Internet, I get an error 800 from Windows. I'm using a Belkin Wireless Router (F5D7231-4) and it says it...

Arctic Silver compound is severely overrated. It doesn't do any better of a job than whatever paste comes with whatever cooler you buy for your video card. I've slapped Zalman coolers on every video card and CPU I've ever purchased and there isn't any difference between using AS5 versus the tiny...

Here's a clearer example of both methods I'm curious about. First off, when the PHP is first being processed by a logged in user, a single query grabs their account information. Their user name, ID, password, profile details, and so on. Also included in that information is what they voted on...

Thanks for the response everyone. While I understand that having individual items in a separate table is beneficial for looking up who voted on what, my original question related only to matching a single user against which items they voted on, not what they voted for. I'd definitely keep...

I'm curious as to what the differences/consequences/benefits are between storing delimited data as a single field item in a row or having all that data as individual rows in a separate table. For example, say I had a user named "Steve" and he voted on items 1,2, and 5. Would having a single...

You're gonna pay almost $450 for 300GB of HD storage? I'd drop the Raptors. They're totally overrated. Go with Seagate's SATA2 drives and get 3x the HD space for the same price.

Top one is for work. Bottom one is for play.

I've got one installed in my 4800+ X2 system and it runs great. I get idle temps around 34c and 39c at load. I can't really say it outperforms their 7700 series, but I've only used the 9500 on this machine. A lot of people stand by Arctic Silver and other applications for heatsinks like this...

I've been using Zalman's 77xx CPU coolers on my 754 and 939 systems for a long time and they've always been fantastic. Coupled with low-rpm case fans, I've become a nut about air-cooled solutions that are virtually silent. However, I've got an AM2 system now that I'm sticking in a X-QPack, but...

ORDERing and LIMITing the query only affects the initial table, forums, and not the rows joined from forumtopics. I'm trying to get my host to upgrade its version of MySQL so I can use the subquery method. I appreciate the help, guys. I'm still open to any other ideas you might have.

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax near '( SELECT memberof , MAX( updated ) AS updated FROM forumtopics GROUP BY memberof' at line 1 Thanks for the query, Hammer. However, I've never been able to get subqueries to work. EDIT: No wonder, my host is running MySQL 3.23.58.

I'm putting together a custom PHP forum and trying to write a query that will grab the latest thread (topic) in each forum to be listed on the index page. The query joins the forumtopics table with the forums table, groups the topics by which forum they belong to, but the grouped data results in...

I'm having problems getting Flash 8 to stick around in IE6. Every Web site on the Internet that does a plugin check via JS says I don't have it. I go to install it, the animation appears saying it's installed, but when I return to the original site, the add-on disappears (or simply was never...

I have a QPack with some pretty serious cable management, too. Unfortunately, my camera blows so I can't do tight shots without it getting blurry. I'm a nut for quiet systems, so I replaced the Aspire rear fan with an AeroCool. Dropped the noise significantly with hardly any temp...

7 fans here and my system still runs whisper quiet. 3 120mm & 1 80mm case fans, two taking in, two blowing out. 1 120mm PSU fan. 1 Zalman CPU Cooler. 1 Zalman VGA Cooler.

Makes no difference. Already tried that.

I've got a 7600GT in a system I'm using for both gaming and as a HTPC. The connection to my TV works just fine and the picture is nice and crisp. However, I can't use the Screen Adjustment setting in the video settings to blow up (zoom) the picture a little to fill the entire screen (got a...

How does that matter? If there is some kind of damage to one part of the card, how do you know there isn't damage elsewhere?

I just upgraded my X-QPack from the 6800GT to a PCI-E mobo with the 7600GT and it's oodles faster. The 7600GT truly is a fantastic card.

Just got one of these and the Zalman VF700 VGA cooler works just fine.

AVG Free does the job just fine for me.

Anyone with MCE know what the deal is with seeking video files? Microsoft's craptacular explanation as to why certain video files cannot rewind or fast forward is because the file format may not be compatible or some bullshit like that. Whatever. However, I was messing around with some of the...

I just made this very same upgrade and I'm very pleased. Went from an XFX 6800GT to the XFX 7800GT (not the black one, though). Using an Enermax Liberty PSU and it runs beautifully. Of course, I replaced the heatsink and fan with a Zalman since the stock fan was louder than a lawnmower. Getting...

Kick ass. Thanks.

I've got a XFX 7800GT, modded with the Zalman VGA cooler, and its weight somewhat warps the card. The metal bar that comes with the card pretty much is useless. I'm curious if there are braces or case parts available somewhere? Couldn't find anything on the Egg or at Tiger. My system enclosure...

Zalman makes excellent products. I have yet to find a better fan-based cooler for the price and performance. I've used a Zalman on my 6800GT and it works wonderfully. I recently upgraded to a 7800GT and threw a Zalman on it. I get idle temps of 35°C, around 49°-53°C under load. Likewise, my...

What's sad is MOST of the shit they cram on these systems perform tasks Windows already does on its own just fine.

Drop the Raptors. Their speed isn't worth their limited size and quite frankly, not a huge improvement over most 7200rpm drives. For the same price you're paying for those, you could easily go with three 250GB Seagate Barracudas and more than quadruple your HD space.
