Tell him to go back and redo it again.
The instructions for Artic Silver and Zalman BOTH recommend a very small drop (around 1.5 grain of rice for Athlon 64) directly at the center. The reason is simple....the die is much smaller than the heat spreader and regardless of how well you squeegie...
I had these symptoms when the capacitors on my motherboard failed after 18 months. Swapped the motherboard for same model and no problems since. Look at the aluminum capacitors on the motherboard (tall cans). If the tops look swollen or leaking then replace the motherboard.
This may be due to early desings simply adding a PFC front end without changing the rest of the supply...like you said in an earlier post.
I did a little reseach and I think you're right. For silver box designs the PFC takes up space otherwise used for the main supply. Shrinking the main...
To be precise, the currents completely cancel only at specfic duty cycles (Vo/Vin) depending on number of phases. Further, cancellation depends on current sharing between the phases.
With spiffy controllers the sharing can be quite good...but generally not better than 5-10%. Without...
Incorrect. Interleaving converters does not change the inductor frequency. The inductors see the same frequency regardless of number of phases. However, ripple current in the output capacitors does have a higher effective frequency with interleaving. This leads to lower ripple current in the...
Generally, this is incorrect.
Although the boost PFC stage does have loss it's minor. 98% efficiency or better is not uncommon for the PFC stage. Futher, the output of the PFC is a regulated voltage. This allows the main transformer and topology selection to be optimized for a very limited...
Here's a review of five of the best 21" CRT monitors.
Cadalyst: 5 Dynamite Displays
I'm getting the Cornerstone P1750 (~$650) to replace an aging Viewsonic GS815 21" CRT.
Markfw900: In the review OCZ3700EB worked up to 275MHz (DDR550-PC4400) with a new A64. They did have to slow timing down to 3-2-3-10. I was hoping the 4200EL would clock even higher.
DAPUNISHER: How can you identify the CG revision? I'm planning on a 3200+ but haven't bought yet. I do...
There's no such thing as a 75 ohm RCA patch cord. The conductor can be 75 ohms but the terminal can't. The dimensions of the center pin make 75 ohms impossible. Most terminals are 25 ohms...even Canare terminals (widely regarded as the best) don't exceed 40-50 ohms which is very near the...
I would bet you have a ground loop. Unless the RCA is damaged it's unlikely to be the culprit.
Connect computer/monitor and receiver into same power outlet/surge suppressor. Disconnect all other possible paths (cable modem, lan, printer, etc). Turn the offending light on/off. If the problem...
In the latest AnandTech memory reviews OCZ 4200EL is roughly 8% faster than OCZ 3700EB on the Intel platform.
At 1GB they are nearly identical in price.
Which should be faster on an MSI K8N (nForce3-250GB)?
