Do they still make cpu fans with 2-pin connectors?

My friend has an old K6-2 350MHz whose cpu fan is broken. The fan is a 50mm MO brand, model number N5010B1-8, and I can't find anything about this fan on the internet. It connects to the motherboard via a 2-pin power connector, which I've never seen before. Do they sell fans like this? Or...

Weight lifting: My left arm is smaller and weaker than the right arm. What to do?

To strengthen your left bicep, try doing single dumbbell curls on an incline bench. This isolates your left bicep and forearm, so you're not using your back to lift the weights. For your left tricep, lie flat on your back with a dumbbell in your left hand. Extend your arm straight in the...

Some questions........

1.) The default multiplier is 10. All type "C" Athlons run at 133 MHz Front side bus, so 133 x 10 = 1330 MHz = 1.33 GHz. And the Epox 8k7a board allows you to increase the multiplier by 0.5 increments 2.) This depends on your chip. Some chips overclock better than others. Its...

Depends what you are putting into your system, really. My SX830's Antec PP303X power supply powers 1 Hard drive, 1 DVD-ROM, 1 CD-RW, and 2 case fans just fine. If you have enough money, just play it safe and get the SX840.

AYHJA overclocking..

Ok, before you start overclocking, install all the hardware you intend to use (Network cards, sound cards, etc). There's no point in overclocking a barebone system and not be able to use all of your hardware. Do this at the default multiplier+FSB, which should be 10 x 133. Make sure you...

There is no best HSF. Swiftech MC462A, Thermalright SK6, OCZ Gladiator, Millenium Glaciator, and the Taisol CGK760092 are among the favorites. As far as fans go, cooling is inversely proportional to the loudness. The more air you move, the louder it will be. Check KDComputers or Plycon. And...

The Arctic Silver site tells you not to use WD-40 when cleaning your HSF. Never use any oil or petroleum based cleaners (WD-40, citrus based grease removers and many automotive degreasers) on the base of a heatsink. The oil, which is engineered to not evaporate, will fill in the microscopic...

It may help, for the time being, to arrange your case fans so that you have 1 front intake fan, and 1 rear exhaust fan. I have the SX830 case, and I tried every possible configuration: 2 front intake, 2 rear exhaust, and 1 and 1. I found that placing my front fan in the bottom-most clip in the...

Start with just your mobo, processor, memory, and video card. Make sure it can POST, and then go into BIOS setup and check that everything works. Check your cpu temps in BIOS too, to make sure it is not too hot. Then put in your hard drive and CDROM, and make sure it POSTS again. Then chang...

I have the Taisol cgk760 with the 30 CFM Delta fan, and it is LOUD. I've never heard a Delta 38CFM, but I can say that I just built my computer and already I am thinking about getting a new fan. I can hear it from outside of my room into the hall. I can hear the fan while I am playing my mp3's.

Whats wrong with this picture???

A lot of people have trouble overclocking their FSB with a 3com Network card, so you might want to watch out for that if you plan to overclock. My SMC EZNET 10/100 card does 140 FSB fine, and from what I've heard, Linksys cards are good for overclocking too.

That is the setup that about 75% of Anandtechers (that use DDR) have, so you can't really go wrong with that. If you ever have problems, you can always find answers on the forum. Personally I have your same setup, but with a 1.2 instead of 1.33

DDR voltage and Vcore voltage

I'm no expert at overclocking, but for the sake of giving you an answer, yes, you need to increase your Vcore. You can also try lowering your multiplier. I had to increase my Vcore to 1.90V to get my 1.2 T-Bird to run at 1.4 (10x140). I didn't have to touch DDR though.
