    CPU Heatsinks: Which One???

    So, uh....Looks like I should get the XP90, huh? Just trying to find a site with optimum shipping time/costs and the right fan selection. I like xoxide.com because they have good prices, shipping scaled by order size, and they are located close to me, in PA. Their selection is a little light...

    CPU Heatsinks: Which One???

    I'm getting a zalman gpu cooler as well and I have 2 120mm case fans and another 120 in my PSU. Hopefully the 35db won't really overpower any of that, and if it does, at least I'll know it's keeping cool. Since I don't sleep next to my system, noise isn't really an issue for me anyways, just...

    Any thoughts on the fan that comes with the retail xp90? I can get it for only 30 bucks here: http://www.svc.com/xp90-ret-21.html

    CPU Heatsinks: Which One???

    Is there any type of fan control with the xp90 retail fan or any other 90-92mm that I can put on it. I just don't trust the motherboard to be in full control. Do they just work at rated RPM always, or will they adjust with CPU core temp?

    Zalman or Arctic Cooling for GPU???

    Hmm..How do I change the voltage? Is there a fan control on it or does it have to do with my hardware? I'm getting an x800xl, which doesn't have the extra PCI-e power connector, does that determine the voltage?

    Zalman or Arctic Cooling for GPU???

    OK, I understand it is well-respected, but is there any real performance benefit, or is it just the best you can get for the least amount of dough?

    FINGER IS ON THE TRIGGER ! Changes made

    My Venice 3000 is running rock-solid at 2.4 at 1.55V, so it's really not much of a burden on the power supply. The biggest thing is making sure you have solid rails. I don't think there is really any functional difference between single and dual +12 PSU's, but I really haven't researched them...

    Zalman or Arctic Cooling for GPU???

    Anyone else have any ideas, preferences? I want to cool the GPU as much as possible with as little investment as possible. Thanks.

    CPU Heatsinks: Which One???

    Hmm, yeah that was a little out of place. I think I'll go for the retail one that comes with a fan, then I can replace it if necessary. Thanks for pointing out that site pibb, it looks pretty sweet.

    Is there anywhere it's not safe to set my headphones?

    Depending on the sensitivity of the headphones, the magnets inside may be susceptible to electromagnetic radiation, which may cause reduced sensitivity or audio-spectral distortion after long-term exposure. In other words, keep them away from anything that has a magnet in it!

    Some Questions about this motherboard

    No idea about the firewall. If you find out, let me know. My first 2 XP installs were crippled as a result of the bloody thing, and the one I got now has something funny with it as well.

    Some Questions about this motherboard

    Cool. As long as you find a flashing program that is both safe and comfortable for you to use, go for it. I just use Winflash because it was the first one I used and has served me well. Never had any problems with it. Good luck with your new board.

    FINGER IS ON THE TRIGGER ! Changes made

    When running two GPU's in SLI, the current NVidia chipset splits the bandwidth of a single PCI-e slot up between the two cards. It's one of the shortcomings of having the chipset make the rules. They are making a new chipset, however, which will designate 16x bandwidth to each of two cards in...

    FINGER IS ON THE TRIGGER ! Changes made

    Yeah that is a sweet price, but whenever you get what's on top, it'll be replaced very soon. NVidia's coming out with a dual x16 SLI chipset (as opposed to dual x8), and ATI's Crossfire is due sometime before the end of the year (I hope). It seems to me that, the way prices are going...

    You'll probably be able to play with the Voodoo for the time being, but I doubt the framerate will really be what's generally accepted as 'playable'. Yep, those are the only 2 differences between NF4 vanilla and Ultra chipsets, and MSI boards actually use the same BIOS for both. Too bad you...

    That video card absolutely will not cut it with BF2. You'll also probably want to get that extra gig of RAM and run in dual-channel, but you have to make sure it is an absolute match! Brand, speed, and timings must all be identical, and sometimes that even won't work (see thread on Crucial...

    CPU Heatsinks: Which One???

    Has anyone used more than one of these heatsinks and can bring a non-biased comparison? That's the hard part, because everyone's going to love whatever they're using. No offense, mOeeOm, I'm just trying to save some cash without losing performance, if that's possible.

    Build me a PC for a friend!

    Check my sig and add memory and video as necessary. My mobo, proc, mem were only a little over 300, and you could double the ram for say another 100. Add an x800xl (I will) for just under 300 bucks and you have the core of an excellent system for not too much green. Optical drives, case...

    CPU Heatsinks: Which One???

    Wow quick response :) Is that the aluminum 90? The site I am looking at is xoxide.com, and the prices are exceptionally lower than others'. Still, they offer the XP90 with a Thermaltake 92mm fan and Arctic Silver 5 all for around 50 bucks plus shipping, while the Venus 12 is just over 30 with...

    CPU Heatsinks: Which One???

    I need something to cool off my Venice which will not cost all that much but will still provide excellent cooling. I was looking at the Zalman (copper or AlCu), Thermalright XP90 (aluminum), and Thermaltake Venus 12. Right now, I'm leaning toward the Venus 12 because it's less expensive and...

    Zalman or Arctic Cooling for GPU???

    I'm getting an X800XL, which I know doesn't overclock very well anyways, but I was just wondering if anybody knows which of these heatsinks will help stabilize an overclock more. Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated. Thanks.

    did anybody flash his/her X800XL to XT or PE ? And was there any problems

    The memory isn't the real issue here, it's the core. The XT's are built on the R420 core, which is a 130nm process. The XL's are the R430, which is a 110nm process. Judging by numbers alone, it seems like the XL would overclock better, but it really cannot match the 500MHz core speed of the...

    Laptop CPU Upgrade

    It's possible, but the expense would not be worth it. Laptops are not meant to be performance machines, with few exceptions. Heat dissipation is horrible, and there is a good chance that a faster processor will cause overheating problems. Now, a memory upgrade, that's a different story. Max...
