Antec Smart Power 2.0

I recently put one of the SP 2.0 350 watt supplies in a friends rig, it stated in the manual that only one fan would run full time. The second fan is only activated when an internal thermal sensor tells it too.

Best PSU for my system

That neopower supply you are looking at is an awesome powersupply, but if you are interested in saving a bit of money, I just picked up one of the new truepower 430 2.0's for $69.99 at Bestbuy of all places, and it is very powerful It has dual 12v rails with 17amps per rail. Would easily power...

Looking to build a "best bang for the buck system"

I have the ecs a939 board which is based on the Nforce4 not ultra chipset. I got it from Newegg as a special for $68 about a month ago. I paired it with a socket 939 3000+ winchester core and have it Oc'ed to 2200mhz. The system is 100% completely stable has not crashed one time. I can...

im still trying to get my comp a little cheaper choosing the video card

I bought the EGA 6600GT PCI Express from newegg last week for 159.99 after rebate, and I have no complaints. The card has been rock solid and even overclocks to 575/1150 with no problems. Excellent card for the money.

SoundCard Upgrade?

Hi I am an avid gamer, and I recently purchased Unreal Tournament 2003. By running some Benchmarks I figured out that I am getting about 45 FPS average with EAX OFF on my Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live Value card and only about 30 with EAX turned on. If I were to upgrade to one of the Audigy...

is this true about AMD processor

I have a celeron 300A @464mhz that has been in about 4 different systems and is still running strong 4 years later. I have seen similar results with overclocked AMD chips, By the time your processor wears out it would be so outdated, it will be nearly useless. Unless of course you are talking...

No Boot, or POST AMD 1.33 T-bird

Be sure to clean off the core of the CPU really good and look at the edges and corners and see if you possibly cracked the core. I did this to a Duron 800 while removing a fop38 heatsink on accident. I could however easily see with the naked eye that the one corner was crushed.

ECS K7S5A Problem!

Oops sorry for the blank post. I have that same board, and when I first got mine I went through the exact same thing you describe. I RMA'D the board, and as soon as I got the new one it fired right up. i just got a bad one, and it sounds like you did too.

Considering Converting to AMD... what should I get?

I recently built an AMD system based on the sis 735 chipset mb. Specifically the ECS K7S5A. I used a T-bird 1.4gig proc, and had no problems at all getting it to run. Very fast, especially when used with DDR memory, and extremely cheap. A great board for non overclockers.

Quick AMD Question

I see that there are 1.4 gig T-birds that are 200mhz bus. Does anyone know if one of them would work? I know I would not be able to overclock it much if at all, but I would rather pay the extra $15 and get the 1.4 gig if I can. I always thought the highest multiplier on the kt-133 was 12.5...

Poll: Am I crazy? I am actually considering picking up a Geforece 3

I would wait untill the release of the Radeon 2 which I am assuming will probably come in around May. It will #1 Force Nvidia to lower the price of the Geforce 3 dramatically if they have not done so already. Or #2 will beat the Geforce 3 in most applications especially if Ati can get a...

Sigh, after all the pain and aggravation of the FOP38, i REALLY need some help... *Edited*

Ok I don't think that your HSF is broke at all, if you can still put the little clip on then it is fine. I have the FOP-38 on my duron 800@1000mhz and the easiest way to get it on is to FIRST REMOVE THE FAN FROM THE HS. Then use the screwdriver to push down the middle of the clip. Once the...

$150 for a Radeon 64MB no VIVO... good deal??

I have a Radeon 64 and I have had it for about 3 months. I mainly play Quake 3 and Counter-strike and it does both great. The framerates may not be as high as a Geforce II ultra, but they are at least as high as the Geforce II GTS and I believe the FPS are more steady on the Radeon. VIisual...

Tbird, Heatsink Advise

MikeWarrior is probably right about the Taisol outperforming the FOP-32, but probably not by much and with the addition of the Black Delta 38 cfm fan the FOP-38 will definetly outperform the taisol. Anyway to make a long story short do yourself a huge favor and don't buy an ORB. They are...

Tbird, Heatsink Advise

If it were me and you were going to buy a new HSF I would look at the FOP-32/38 they have better performance then the taisol and superorb, they are much cheaper than the alpha and they fit they will fit your board without modification. I choose the FOP-38 for my Duron 800@1000 and it works great.

Question about my new Duron 800@1000mhz?

Mine needed 1.85 volts. I can get it to boot at 1050 If I use 10.0x10 multiplier and 105 FSB. It however gets registry errors alot though. I think my Harddrive which is a Maxtor doesnt like the odd bus speed. My only reccommendation to you is to get a nice HSF because these little suckers...

Question about my new Duron 800@1000mhz?

I am running a duron 800@1000mhz on an Asus A7V. I am using the globalwin Fop-38 and regular white Thermal Grease. My idle temp is around 42-44c and my full load never reaches above 48c. These numbers seem a bit high to me and I have read that the A7V reads higher then most other socket A...

Duron 800@945 temprature?

I have a Duron 700 at 900 right now (won't quite do 950 at 1.85. I soon will do voltage mod and try for a gig.) on an A7V. I am useing the FOP-38 and my idle temp is about 32 Degrees while my full load temp is about 36 degrees. I highly recommend the Fop-38 if you can take the noise.
