Zalman 7000 bending the Motherboard

Itmpls - it's nothing to do with the weight, it's how hard the heatsink it being pulled to the cpu. Dev0lution - Yeah I'm positive the backplate is on correctly. I think I'll fit washers under where the heatsink screws down to relieve some of the tension. gcol

Zalman 7000 bending the Motherboard

Hi, I just fitted the Zalman 7000Cu to my Asus K8NE Deluxe board and am concerned about the fitment. I took off the perfectly good steel brace that's on the back of the motherboard and replaced it with the cheap plastic Zalman one and screwed the pillars into it to hold it in place. I then...

Mouse pads...?

I use the Razer Exactmat with the Diamondback and love it. Sure the Diamondback works well on most surfaces, but if you're in the market for a new pad (and have the space for an Exactmat) get one. You have the choice of smooth or a slightly grainy surface. Personally I use the smooth. What...

software to adjust monitor brightness

If I understand you right, you've bought a monitor that even when you turn down the brightness fully it's still too bright. Is that right? Why can't you return it? gcol

NV Silencer 5 dying

You might try squirting a little WD40 into the motor shaft area (if you can get to it) - sounds like you've got dry bearings. It should work almost instantly. Do this sooner rather than later or you risk damaging the thing further. Bit worrying that this is happening though glad I've got the...

Okay, Let's Settle This: NV Silencer or V700 Cu?

Could only vote for Zalman cause the Arctic couldn't be fitted to my card. Very please with VF700. Having said that I would like to see the Arctic in action. gcol

Power Supply - 550W low end?

That was a terrible article. The only thing of any use was the wattage calculator on the link (but that's been about for ages). I'd like to know where he got the data from to create those pie charts. I'll bet he just made that up. gcol

GeForce 6800NU - Best Passive/Low Noise Cooler?

Sounds like you've already made up your mind anyway. I would have gone for the NV5 but my 6800GT has a double width pci mounting bracket so I couldn't fit one. I bought a VF700-Cu this week and am really happy with it, it's so much quieter than the stock cooler I can't believe it. The...

I just purchased a super lanboy

I got the Super Lanboy mainly because of the size, it had to fit into my workdesk and it was the only one that I liked the look of that had good airflow (2 quiet 120mm fans) and wasn't too deep for my desk. It's quite compact - especially compared to the Thermaltake cases. I had to remove the...

NV silencer 5 OR New Zalman VF700-Cu?

I have a Gainward 6800GT Golden Sample. I was looking into replacing the heatsink and fans for something a little quieter and came accross the NV5. I suspect, but I'm not sure that I can't fit this cooler to my card becasue the plate that has the output sockets on it is 2 PCI openings wide...
