I have a Phenom II X3, and I was wondering if I can use a heatsink from a retail AMD Athlon II X2 (Regor) package to cool this CPU. Does AMD put the same heatsinks in their Athlon II and Phenom II retail packages? It looks like CPU measures about 38mm x 38mm, but the base of this heatsink...
My friend's laptop is no longer able to boot, and it appears to be a motherboard issue. She bought a new laptop and would like to transfer her files from the old laptop to the new one. We put the old hard drive into an enclosure and connected it via USB to the new computer, and we can see the...
It's been a long time since I started using this printer, but if I had to guess, the starter toner cartridge lasted about 700 pages of mostly text printing, the second cartridge (generic) lasted about 1000 pages of half text and half graphics, and the third cartridge (different generic) lasted...
Under advanced options, there are two checked boxes: 1) print all text to black, and 2) print all text to darken. Both boxes are unchecked.
I held down the round "cancel" button (the only button on the top of the printer, which also toggles on and off the "toner save" option) for 5-6 seconds...
Thanks for the reply. There's a button on top of the printer that allows the user to toggle on/off the toner saver mode--I already checked that. I also checked the printer preferences in Windows 7 set the darkness to "dark" (normal and light are the other options). Am I missing one of the...
My Samsung ML-1710 has been printing light lately, but without streaks. It prints a uniformly gray color on a page that is supposed to be filled with black text. The toner cartridge (generic replacement instead of OEM) was purchased about 2 years ago. I've only printed a few hundred pages...
In case anybody is looking for info on how to overclock or unlock the extra cores on this CPU, here are a couple of resources:

Thanks for the response. Out of curiosity, what OS and which drivers are you guys running? I'm running Win 7 with the drivers that came on the motherboard CD. Updating my drivers using Windows update caused my ethernet to stop working, and my video display to have problems waking up after...
I'm running everything in a Cooler Master RC-690 with one front intake fan and one exhaust fan (both stock case fans) running. The airflow seems pretty good. The heat sinks seem to be seated correctly, as far as I can tell. Ambient room temperature is 78 degrees, so that explains why my idle...
I recently built a new computer with a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H with a Phenom II 545 and 4 GB PC8500 DDR2. I've run CPUID Hardware Monitor on occasion to check on system temperatures and left it running during various tasks. Most of the temperatures seems fine, running in the 30's when idle...
Wow, $4 for a tiny resistor? At that price, I'd definitely prefer the fan controller. Newegg sells them a little cheaper than SVC--you can get 2 for under $10 shipped. Quick question though... are these meant to sit on the bottom of the case while they're connected to the mobo and fan?
Looks like the Scythe SFF21D (S-Flex 800 rpm) is what I should buy in the future. In the meantime, I need to figure out a way to slow down the Yate Loons a little, maybe around 30% in RPM. Using a resistor like these seems like a good way to go, but I'm looking for something more along the...
Anybody with a recommendation for a 120 mm fan that is already silent w/o undervolting? I just bought some Yate Loon 120 mm fans, but they're too loud for my taste. I'm looking for something relatively inexpensive.
