Intel P4 heatsink?

The stock HSF also warps the hell out of the motherboard under it. Me no like, bad medicine.

Intel P4 heatsink?

The intel heatsink was loud. (Well, not so much loud as whinny.) I replaced my hsf as soon as I possibly could.

CD sound input. Analog or digital on audigy 2

I was running analog, now I'm running digital (!#!@ing CD-RW died) and I notice no difference.

quiet Heatsink fan for PENTIUM4?

It is great. It actually stops at times so you need to turn off the fan warning on the CPU. (As frightfull as that is.) Works fine, very quiet. My ati 9700 is now the loud fan. Might replace that with a zalman.

buying new rig soon, need mother board advice!

For the cost of sata to ide adapters you might consider just buying a PCI card to do your raid. And considering the fact that my system is running faster with the SIS648 IDE controller (not raided) than it was with the built in Raid of my last abit I'm not sure Raid is even worthwhile. Raid...

CD sound input. Analog or digital on audigy 2

It was my understanding that when you played a cd it just decoded it, dumped it through the analog port where the sound card mixed it in and dumped it to the speakers. Same thing as if I plugged into my sound card via a front headphone jack. I wasn't aware that it went through the ide cable...

CD sound input. Analog or digital on audigy 2

Well, that's what I'm wondering. If I rip things that is going thru the ide, right? Otherwise it is just a choice between the Audigy's DACs and the CD Rom's (If I'm playing a cd in the drive.), right? I can't come up with anything else.

Would the ZM-80(a) fit on KT3 mobo?

Zalman has an installation guide. It includes some numbers (about how far this must be from that) in it.

CD sound input. Analog or digital on audigy 2

Okay, The audigy has internal digital and analog connectors for CD drives. I'm currently using the analog connection cause that is all my previous sound solution supported. What is the advantage of using the digital connection? Thanks!

GPU cooling (Zalman heat pipe)

That looks like the deal then. Now I just need to see if my motherboard meets zalman's specs. I'm not sure I have enough room before the memory slots.

P4 quiet fan recommendation

I ran the athlon version forever. The P4 version might be even quieter. Tho it does actually STOP sometimes until things get warm. Which is more than a little freaky. SVC Compucycle is the only place I've found them. $20 shipped. FYI

GPU cooling (Zalman heat pipe)

Okay, Anyone put one of the fanless Zalman heat pipe coolers on a sapphire 9700? (Not pro.) I've got quiet fans, a quiet power supply and a quiet hsf. I plan to isolate the hard disks and would like to reduce the noise level of my 9700. Is the zalman a good bet? (I don't over clock my...
