    Question Rubber fan pads for CM TX3, can I just use a regular piece of rubber?

    Really? Is this like matched ram? You'd think they would sell it with 2 fans, rather than a fan and an extra set of clips. What's the reasoning behind it? I was hoping this was the case. I had a feeling it would be fine. Not like I'm grilling hot dogs on my CPU.

    Question Rubber fan pads for CM TX3, can I just use a regular piece of rubber?

    I got a Cooler Master TX3 off of eBay recently, and I wanted to add a second 92mm fan. The original fan came with the rubber corner vibration dampeners, but the $6 Arctic fan I'm eyeballing on Amazon doesn't, of course. Can I just cut out some triangles from any piece of tough rubber and glue...

    [SOLVED] Just upgraded to Windows 10. What mobo drivers do I need to install, if any?

    Hello all! I did the free upgrade from 7 Ultimate to Window 10 Pro 64bit, and everything seems to be working fine (graphics card got a clean install for drivers), but I have a pile of drivers from the Asrock site (B75 Pro-3m) and I wanted to know which of these I should install (if any) and how...

    ASRock Xfast utlities any good in general? Considering Xfast RAM for a 7/XP dual boot (RAMifications?)

    I recently completed a B75 Pro3-M build and am planning on making it a dual boot Windows 7/XP system. I have 8 gigs of ram (4 x2, dual channel), so I was thinking of trying Xfast RAM since it would (according to all accounts) allow XP to take advantage of the additional ram above 4gigs. My...

    Freezing on "Starting Windows" (Brand new build)

    This actually resolved itself. It seems that running the repair/restore thing rolled the system back, one driver install at a time, until it removed the driver that that was causing all the problems. I'm guessing this because, after all the stressing about it, I got home from work and was...

    Freezing on "Starting Windows" (Brand new build)

    Hi all! I just finished assembling a PC last night, and it ran fine for a while, until I started installing the drivers from the mobo manufacturer's CD (INF, LAN, Intel Manager, USB 3.0 drivers, a few other weird Intel things, Realtek HD audio, etc). I restarted between each install, and all...
