Since these apply in 2 different categories, I posted this in general.
I have a DFI NFII Infinity as my mobo, if that will help you.
1. The front mic port does not work. I have played around with both the "Mic-In" and "Mic Bias" plugs, and I have tried every combination with them and the two mic pins and it refuses to work. USB and audio front ports work fine, and so do the back ones.
2. My new HSF, the POLO 735 3-in-1 cooler from Thermaltake (won like 8 awards or something) does not like my CPU (Athlon 2500+ Barton). In fact, my old aluminum HSF with 1/2 the CFM works better than it. I have installed it 6 times with 2 different types of thermal paste. I only managed to get this baby to run by setting it on stock settings (it was at 200FSB with my first HSF, stock is 166) and by putting an excess amount of thermal grease onto it (were talking about 1/7 of the tube). I tried putting it on the HSF first, on the core first, etc. No go on that before the glob of it I put on. And, like I said, its working a lot worse than my first HSF.
3. My new GPU cooler, the Arctic Silver Rev. 3, is working terribly. Even on stock settings, the VPU recovery still comes in and "saves the day" and doesn't like any of my games. When I was loading Call of Duty, my comp froze on the loading screen. I used Arctic Silver 5 (not nearly as much as I used on my CPU).
Please help me, I''ve spent the last 31 hours (minus sleep) getting this to work properly.
Thank you so much.
