random reboots after upgrading to x2 4200+ from a64 3400+

Try graphic card drivers. Believe it or not it happens from time to time and, as a matter of fact it happened to me. So, do uninstall nvidia video drivers, re-start and run your system with standard vga windows drivers. Do as many tests as possible and let the system run. If after around 24 to...

How often does RAID 0 really fail?

The answer is YES, IT FAILS. My raid 0 failed a couple of years ago and I promised myself i would never use it again. Or at least not as raid 0 alone but with four hds at raid 0+1. On the other hand, the advantages are not spectacular, but they are REAL, and you perceive real-world benefits in...

hd electrical shock

and what if the model is no longer available? would it be enough with another disk from the same manufacturer? Well, it is a seagate barracuda 7200.9 pata 250 gb. and dunno wether it's still at the market. Any clue of possible compatibility would be of great help.

Tuniq 120 Owners, Arctic Silver 5 or Thermal Grease it comes with?

I would make a difference not just between as5 and the rest, but between as5 and other "good quality" thermal compunds as opposed to "cheap ones". Comparing those two categories would be something real, but if you are asking for as5 supremacy over any other compound , i would say that the answer...

corsair 620hx question

psu seems to be really ok and nearly inaudible. Unfortunately, the base problem that has led me to replace psu is still here. Perhaps is the mobo-memory combination, perhaps... who knows?.

Need some good psu suggestions

a couple of days ago i bought an antec earthwatts 500. Apparently it's seasonic inside as well or at least some reviews say so. It seems to be good, silent, stable and much cheaper than corsairs. It's got two 12v rails (questionable, apparetnly as many psus it's a single one really) at 34 amps...

temptation is strong and time short. It would be mereley 50% of corsair 520's price. I'm afraid (or should I say, fortunately) I'm going to go for it. If you think I should not, please stop my feet from running in a short period of time. Ok, money is not the whole thing, but if 520 was going to...
