Can you name that connector?

What is the name of the connector used on ABIT KT7A boards to connect the north bridge cooling fan to the PCB? It?s a 2 position connector with polarized coupling parts. I?m trying to buy both mail and female connectors of this type, but I don?t know what they are called or who the manufacturer...

Hello, I?ve been messing around trying to find a utility that would allow me to play European DVDs on either WinDVD or Real Magic Hollywood Plus I have running under XP Pro. In the process I tried DVD Genie and DVD Region Killer. Neither worked. However, now I can not play any DVDs on my...

Papst or Panaflo fans

>If you can get a hold if the good Papst fans, In spite of "urban legends" that would have you believe otherwise, getting hold of Papst fans is not an issue... If you live in North America, email larry@interior.bc.ca and ask if they can get what you want. They can get quite a large assortment...

Papst or Panaflo fans

I have been buying my Papst fans from a company called Interior Electronics in British Columbia, Canada (I live in Boston, MA, USA). I think they sell mostly electronic components (not computer specific). But as long as they have Papst fans - that's all I care about. Note that their fans are...

Papst or Panaflo fans

Wow, this is some price you found! Thank you, thank you, thank you! And I thought I got a deal when I got a bunch of these for $8 a pop... I think I have to agree - having experienced both Panalflos and Papst fans in my case, I'd say that given the price of $3 per fan contrasted with $15 I paid...

Papst or Panaflo fans

I have a Lian-Li PC60 USB case with 3 Papst 8412NGL fans; I also have a Papst 8412NGML on an Alpha PAL8045. Finally, in my Enermax power supply, I switched the fans from whatever stock fans it had to a Papst 8412NGL and a 9cm Panaflo (a Papst replacement is on order ;-) I used to have the...

Overclocking XP on Abit KT7A?

I have updated the BIOS of my KT7A-RAID (v1.0 I?m pretty sure) to ID 64. I plugged in an XP 1600+ and it works just fine. I then proceeded to try and unlock the CPU as per instructions on www.tomshardware.com Here is what I?m seeing now: I am only able to boot if the selected CPU speed is...

Will AthlonXP even run on ABIT KT7A RAID?

I understand that ABIT has not provided (and is not planning on providing?) a BIOS update for the KT7A series of motherboards (below rev 1.3) to recognize the new AthlonXP CPUs. However, will AthlonXP even run on a pre 1.3 KT7A with rev. 4A bios? I don?t care whether or not the chip is properly...

Abit KT7A-RAID: odd RAID behavior?

Size limitation could very well be my problem! I wasn't aware of a limit for a RAID under windows... Thanks for the heads up! I'd install XP, except I have some hardware for which there are still no drivers (SB Audigy, IBM PC Camera Pro) Thanks again, Michael
