temperatures and the 8111/8131/8151 chipset

Im building a new workstation with a dual opeteron 248 setup on the tyan k8w motherboard. My question is, of the 3 chips in the chipset which, if any, run hot? I am watercooling the system, and want to know how many chipset blocks to buy. In pictures, I have seen a heatsink on the 51 and 31, and...

SCSI Ultra320 RAID Questions

Hi, on a new workstation im building I'm going to be setting up a small-mid sized scsi ultra320 raid. I figured adaptec was the best way to go for the controller, but I am a SCSI noob and a bit confused. In one category, titled "SCSI RAID" there is one card that looks interesting, the 2120S...

Question: PC-75 and E-ATX

Hello, I am about to buy a dual processor board, specifically the Tyan K8W (less you guys recommend a better one with pci-x and 8x agp hehe) as I need to be able to run multiple graphic and cpu intensive applications simultaneously on one system. This version of the board is not a standard ATX...

Best gaming/overall LCD

thanks for the info, but I just checked the specs on the CML200B (equivalent size/resolution to the dell) and it has a 25ms responce. Wouldn't this make ghosting more apparent, or is that not such a big factor as ppl claim. That dell looks nice though :)

Best gaming/overall LCD

I'm looking for the best gaming/overall use LCD screen with at least 18inch viewable (more is ok). I know there are a lot of reviews on these things, but I find it odd that the reviews always rate the LCDs poorly yet users like many them. The price is not a huge concern to me, id spend up to...

First Post - Circuit City Freebies - pretty hot

I work at circuit city. All rumors are true, they fired the entire commission workforce except for 4 people in my location (which is one of the biggest there is). They then distributed all the hourly people to cover all of the department. I got a raise :)

Vantec Tornado 84.1 cfm plus Thermalright SK-7 WOW!!!

for your information, the 82 cfm sunon IS a tornado. Sunon is the OEM provider for Vantec Tornado fans, Vantec just relables them. Its basicly the same fan w/o the warranty, grill, and fancy box/label.

modding stock HSF

thanks for all the info guys, i think that id be better off just buying a new heatsink. What sugguestions you guys got? Watercooling is giong to run like 250$ right? Any anything more extreme like a TEC probably more. Best standard HSFs seem to be the Swiftechs (MCX4000 or 462) or the Alpha...

No, I know there is some way to modify the fan. You peel off the sticker and can deactive the thermal resistor.

Wow I just noticed another thing. I want to oc my 2.53 C1 chip, but dont want to raise the vcore too much cause even ppl at 1.60 actual seem to be occasionally risking SNDS after 4-6 months. This boar undervolts, so i put the bios up to 1.575 volts (my chip is 1.525 default). MBM5 is...

I Need someone with an Albatron PX845PEV Pro

Hi, if anyone here has this mobo, I got a few questions for you. 1)Do your case temps report higher than your cpu temps? (in bios and MBM5) Mine do and that seems rather odd. 2)When you use MBM5 to monitor core voltage, do the rading seem rather odd? MBM gives me 2 voltages for core, one...

Newer features dont matter a great deal to me. Serial ATA is useless right now as is agp 8x. Dont need onboard video sound or gigabit ethernet (though base 100 would be nice)
