It's 2am here in Europe. I could not sleep as I was thinking about the PC. So it's all done. Took out the MOBO and got rid off the North bridge heatsink and the busted fan. Tomorrow morning I will go and buy the Zalmna heatsink for $5-6 and put it on. I also cleaned the thermal paste on the...
Cutting the black bits would be tricky as the space is very tight. I could just take the fan off and then glue the zalman heatsink to the silver base. The problem is that when I tried pulling the silver base off bits of thermal paste fell off. So I think the contact between the silver base and...
OK so I tried to take it all off. The fan was held by 2 screws and the fan part came off. The base part is held to the MOBO by 2 black springy things (it's not a screw). I tried to pull the silver base and it and it came off the MOBO 2-3mm but goes back down if I let go.
What kind of mechanism...
Will the holes match up on my MOBO? Won't the yellow Zalman heatsink be better due to the variable screw hole cuts? This one I mean-

The silver fan next to the CPU has stopped working. I think it has not been working for few days if not weeks.

Everything works fine. It looks like the fan is busted and not the MOBO connector to the fan. I...
What is bit of overkill on an expensive machine ;-)
Important Question- Zalman heatpipes and fan functionality won't be effected due to my "up down" orientation rather than "front back" orientation? If Zalman allows the heatsink to be mounted in all 4 directions then am I right in assuming...
Thanks for the replies. Operandi regarding the choice of fans. I have not bought the fans yet. I can buy any of these fans based on what is available in my country-
YS-Tech FD 121225LB (2F3) 120mm
1800 rpm
74 CFM
Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F - 120 mm
1600 rpm

Case- Silverstone TJ07. This is a 3d workstation and running it COOL is the main aim. I don't care about the noise...it does not bother me at all.

I have 90% of the parts now apart from the Opteron 285 cpus.
So I did a quick layout to have everything clear in...
So if I get the Zalman 9500 should I make it face upwards? ie the exhause from the 9500 goes toward the 2x 120mm fans at the top of the case? The front fan I will make intake fan. Fresh air will come in from the back and front of the case and leave from the top of the case. Does that sound ok...
wizboy no idea mate and I don't know how I can confirm if a particular heatsink will fit or not. Plus it looks like it would break the MOBO in half :-) I would preffer one that came with the fan attached. Ninja's fan clipping seems fiddly to me.
Please view this image to get an idea of some of my questions :-) Thanks

Ok I have ordered Silverstone Tj07 case Link to the case specs and Tyan Thunder K8WE dual core Opteron MOBO Link to the MOBO specs . I will be putting 2 Opteron 285s in it and a...
OK I spent $300 to access some training videos. Now as their connection is slow plus because I like to have the movies on my HD I used to downloaded quicktime files from Internet explorers temp file folder.
Now this website has done some java script mumbo jumbo and I can't download it from...
In that case I am not loosing much as PC 3200RAM and PC2700 RAM cost same.
2 more question :-)
Q-1---> If I put 2x1GB PC3200RAM do you think I can slip in the old PC2700 1x512Mb stick to take the total to 2.5GB? OR will that be a NO! NO!
Q-2---> If I use the 2x1GB PC 3200 am I right in...
Yes I would probably get 2x Dualcore A64 but -
Q1) Can I really use PC3200 on my MOBO (Board: MSI MS-6380E 1.0 )? Won't it damage anything?
Q2) When I do buy the dual system won't I be buying something along the line of this RAM????-
DDR2 RAM 256MB PC 533/PC 4200
My mobo is a -
Board: MSI MS-6380E 1.0
Bus Clock: 133 megahertz
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc. 07.00T 04/02/01
It can only take PC2700 and lower according to the manual. I will network this system with the new one in the future to form a renderfarm.
You think I can stick PC3200 RAM in...
My 3d software needs more RAM.
Maya on W2k can utilize 2GB RAM. My PC has an oldish AMD 2000XP (1.6GHZ) CPU.
So after lot of thinking I decided to wait few months before buying a new dual opertone system and instead upgrade the RAM on my PC to give it more life.
I have 3 RAM slots...
Assuming that the 2 systems are identical and using W2K/XP PRO-
Software is Maya

Ok I have been organizing all my files for backup. It took me the whole weekend. (My fingers are aching :-)
Everything is nicely structured. For example- 3DFOLDER > 3d folder_1, 3dfolder_2 etc etc......I made a blue print of the file/folder structure in word.
Now all that I have to do is...
