My Ford 302 was misfiring.

I had the same problem on an 86 CV - replaced the plugs several times. Come to find out, it was a leaking intake manifold gasket which finally solved the problem. I put about 200K miles on the car and I bet I went thru 6 plug changes and 2 intake gaskets. Not sure that this is the answer for...

Child on the way, and i want a motorcycle....

Don't do it. No matter how safe you are, or what kind of bike you have, its the other folks out there in cars and trucks you gotta worry about. I parked my street bike when I was 22 after I ditched it getting out of the way of a MAC truck which never saw me at a stop light - thank god I saw him...

This is funny

the coolermaster compound is a phase change compound meaning it's characteristics change when the temp is raised above a certain temperature. Its made by Shen Etsu. When first applied the compund works reasonably well but after running for a week or two the material goes thru a phase change and...

anyone have any experience with this evercool product or evercool itself?

assuming that your temp readings are correct, I think you have a problem with airflow from the case. The first thing I would focus on is getting the system (case) temps down. I run a similar setup (Shuttle AN35u, XP2500) and my case temps temps run around 32 to 33C assuming the ambient in the...

can someone check my simple math for Porch lighting?

Your math is correct. 400 watts running for an hours is 400 watt hours and at the $.10 per kwh rate you specified would cost you $.04 per hour that the lights are running. The comment about the lighting being very bright is correct - or either you have a very big porch. If the porch is...

Barton Overclock

What is your temperature under load, i.e. Prime95 or similar loading. I have a barton at similar speed and Vcore and while my idle temps are in line with yours, I see high 40s under load. You'll probably be OK increasing Vcore some more but keep an eye on your temps at load. Once it gets in...

Opnions on this configuration wanted.

For better performance at probably about the same price, change the MB to a 865PE chipset board, the CPU to a 2.4C, and use two sticks of 256M PC3200. This will give you much improved memory performance over the setup you have and really opens up the bandwidth of the P4. The improvement is due...

P4c performance is TERRIBLE

I agree with zephyrprime. I don't think the power supply or case is the issue if the CPU is going into throttling down. I don't think anyone has asked what the internal chassis temp is. With the cooler he has, assuming its mounted correctly with decent thermal compound, I would expect his CPU...

its probably the USB 2.0. Go into the bios and disable the USB 2.0 setting (disable it) and the message should go away. You can download the driver from Abit (I think).

Maybe it's just me, but I think the nForce 2 deserves LESS credit than it is getting

Via has a code letter they use when they make a good chipset. If it ends with an A, its a good one, if not its in beta. KT133A was a good one and afix to the KT133, KT266A was a good one and fixed the KT266. When they release (and if they ship the KT400A, I may be interested). I have had no...
