    "Bad sector warning" on bootup always ... scan is OK

    Lately, everytime I start up my Win98 system, I get an error that says something like "You may have bad sectors on disK" and it kicks off a scandisk, including surface scan. I've let this run to completion, and no errors were found, but it still does it everytime I boot up. As it stands now, I...

    VERY slow Frame Rates in SOF 2, is this normal?

    Not really. I have a relatively similar setup (AMD 1600+/Ti4200) and I've gotten good performance on SOF2. Check and see if you have Anti-Aliasing turned on in the game (Advanced Video options), and if so, what level.

    Yeah, reading through these threads, I thought of the dust too. Thanks for the info everyone.

    Athlon 1.4 temp problem

    I can't offer much, other than to say that "proper mating" between the heatsink and the processor is very, very important. Someone else can correct me, but I would say it's important enough that if that was the problem, your temperatures would actually be much, much higher. However, note that...

    How often does something like ASII need reapplying?

    Does the heatsink need to be cleaned and Arctic Silver II need to be "replaced" ever? If yes, and standard on how often? I'm just curious. My XP 1600+ was idling at about 43C, but now the Alabama late-June has it idling at 47C and it led me to wonder if I'll see a gradual increase over time...

    Question for Gainward card owners.

    Good question. I've been wondering the same thing about my Ti4200 128MB Gainward. I like the tuner tool, and I *think* their overclocking "guarantee" only applies if you use the tuner tool to do it. The latest Detonators (released in the past day or two) claim to have dedicated support for...

    I did the following, going from "outside" to "inside" grill, filter, window, fan.

    Im Ticked Off, And there's a Good Reason Why!

    I have the same Dr. Thermal with my XP 1600+, not overclocked. I installed it with ASII, and my idle cpu temps are 42C, 47C after heavy gaming. I've checked though, and the cpu is mostdefinitely "off center" from the copper hs core, so I would guess any offset between the copper and aluminum...

    How to install thermalright ax-7?

    A couple of notes from someone else who recently built their first system ... Check out Arctic Silver website ... they have detailed application instructions that also include cleaning heatsinks and/or cpu cores. Also, when using the flathead to push down the clip on the heatsink, be careful...

    Keeping my athlon cool?

    I added a 120mm intake to the side of my case, by buying a window with a pre-cut hole. This helped my situation a good deal. I have a front intake, but it's ducked from the bottom of the case :( and wasn't pulling very much in. The front is curved pretty heavy, and I didn't think I could mod...

    Quick question on Asus and its readings

    I have the sam e motherboard and a 1600+ at stock speed. I "downgraded" from a Delta screamer fan because of the noise and my temps went up, as expected, and then messed with ventalation, added an intake fan, etc... and I've got almost the same numbers as you, and I've put a good deal of...

    Keeping my athlon cool?

    In my opinion, if you're only seeing 55C after reset, then the heat is not what's causing the problem. The cpu should still be stable at that temperature, which is high by enthusiasts or cooling "gurus", but certainly not outside the spec of the cpu. That being said, there are tons of places...

    Gainward Ti4200 128mb back at newegg today! but $226

    It's the brand, features and what comes along with the Golden Sample as well, I believe. Can you get a Gainward Golden Sample Ti4400 for that price you mention? At newegg, the difference is >$30, and really, everybody has a different amount they're willing to pay. You could always find a...

    Gainward Ti4200 128mb back at newegg today! but $226

    I guess it's just the law of supply & demand, but they upped the price everytime it's come back in stock. I ordered mine last Thursday for $214 + $8 FedEx Express Saver. It sold out in about 8 hours, so I guess they figure they have room to up the price. Can't say that I blame them.

    Just took a skilsaw to my case..

    I just performed the exact same mod and it was easier than I thought. In my case, I did the cutting from the back of the panel so I wouldn't scratch it, and therefore I had to be creative a couple of times so the saw wouldn't hang on a couple of metal tabs that were on the panel. Otherwise, it...

    fan in window?

    I just installed a window with a 120mm fan (pre-cut) installed as an intake with an aluminum-mesh filter and a chrome grill. I'm running an AMD 1600+ XP in a cheapo case, and my idle temps dropped 8C with the new fan. I bought a Sunon Quiet 120mm fan and it hardly added any noise (of course my...

    Where should i buy a case window for my antec SX1030B?

    If it's your first one, I would recommend 2CoolTek I recently ordered the rectangular one with rounded corners with a pre-cut 120mm fan hole. I ordered a fan, grill, and cold-cathode light from them too. It was all shipped/packed very well, and came with step by step instructions and...

    Previously read folders not being marked

    I'm using Mozilla w/ Linux at work, and IE on Win98SE at home, and in either case, in the past couple of days, my previously read topics aren't being marked as such in Hot Deals, Case&Cooling, Motherboards, or Video forums. I would guess it's a cookie issue, but it seems odd that it's on two...

    ATACOM.com has Gainward Ti4200 64MB version now!!

    I was aiming for the 64MB version, too, due to the faster memory (and all the glowing online previews). However, at ATACOM, the 128MB Golden Sample version is only $30 more, and in the case of Gainward, they've made *both* versions with 4ns RAM. Of course, every dollar counts, so both cards...

    Gainward Ti4200 early impressions?

    OK, I was among those who got in on newegg's *second* Gainward Golden Sample Ti4200 128MB 4ns RAM order. I'm tracking mine on FedEx as we speak. For those who already have 'em, can I get some early impressions? Based on specs, it appeared they really were going after the nVidia Ti4200...

    Thermal Compunds - Is there a reason to spend money?

    UPDATE: I have to add that my temps are much more stable now with ASII. Before, starting at 52C and playing Jedi Knight 2 for an hour (Quake III engine) I would hit 58C (quite alarming!), but I just finished a JKII session and I was at 49C (48C when I started). To me, that's truly impressive...

    VI/VO? EDIT: Need Video In, Video Out Cables

    Warm: Gainward GF4 Ti4200

    Well, at newegg, the price difference between the Gainward Golden Sample Ti4200 and Ti4400 is $55. Another way to look at it is you're getting "guaranteed" 4ns RAM overclocking on the Gainward Golden Sample Ti4200 (product remains under warranty overclocked) to bring it very close to Ti4400...

    Warm: Gainward GF4 Ti4200

    I ordered one last night from newegg. $222 shipped. A bit more than I had planned on spending when I first read about the Ti4200. I had planned on getting the 64MB version, but I grew impatient, and the specs on the Gainward Golden Sample 128MB card with 4ns memory were awesome. It includes...

    Gainward ti4200 instock/preorder!? No pictures or details though!

    I *think* that one of the cards on the Gainward site is the 64MB version, although it is confusing. They call one XP and one TV, but the only difference I see is the first sentence in the description where one mentions 128MB and one mentions 64MB. Regardless, I haven't been able to find...

    Simple question about 5-pin ps connectors

    Well, I'll reply to myself since I got an answer from 2cooltech, and thought somebody else here may have the same question at some point. Yes, you can chain another device to the extra 5-pin connector, and no, the rocker switch will not turn the other device (fan, etc...) on/off.

    Simple question about 5-pin ps connectors

    I'm just received a cold-cathode light that I'm about to use in my first case mod. I ordered the light from 2Cooltech, btw. Anyhoo, it comes with 2 5-pin connectors, 1 female and 1 male. Will this provide me the same functionality as a pass-through connector; in other words, can I chain...

    Visiontek Ti4200 128MB order (another one)

    I agree. I thought the price seemed a little high myself, based on published MSRP I saw in previews. However, even pre-orders are few and far between on this thing, so I posted the new link. Note that Visiontek now has the product listed on their website, which is new as of today.

    Removing melted thermal pad from AMD core

    I understand about the heatsink, but luckily, this is a brand new heatsink, and I'll be using ASII. The melted pad is just on the CPU core. Thanks for the info. I was mainly concerned with how "rough" I could be with the cpu in cleaning it. An alcohol wipe all by itself wasn't getting the...

    Removing melted thermal pad from AMD core
