    Down with the dual core

    Haven't you geniouses thought about some facts: Technology for making dual core CPU's is NOT advanced or new in any way. Software development is estimated to be about 40% more work developing for dualcore. Why have the PC industry stayed with singlecore for so very long until they ran out of...

    SoftMod of Nvidia 6200 to Nvidia 6600

    Yeah, rivatuner is the shit. But if you have a turbocache card dont bother... Also most 6200 now seems to be 64-bit, which is crap...

    80mm case fan questions

    Front intake fans are only good for cold air on the HDD. Otherwise you be better of having the same fan at the back blowing out. But I guess the engineers making all the laptops on the market, as well as the people behind xbox etc. are all wrong. You are the guru. I will at once move my fans...

    New build this summer - opinions needed

    If you want a faster handling computer I think a dualcore CPU is better than a fast harddrive-although i have no experience of it just hearsay. Dont buy a alucase, no gain in that? Buy a thickplated steelcase instead.

    80mm case fan questions

    Bartender, I'll have whatever he's having!!! Pulling cold air in through the front, what a BAD idea. Shmoe. Yes is a bad idea. Think about it. Have you ever seen a laptop computer for example with a sucking fan? Does the X-box have a fan blowing in or out? How is the ATX original...

    How many case fans are enough?

    Well there are a few things to think about, that blabbermouths like Rugger dont think of. There is EMI, RFI that are the reason you have small openings in a case! :wink: Also, I dont trust ANY of the silly fans on graphics cards anymore....they are buit to fail so you have to buy a new card...

    repeated videocard corruption

    Just get an Artic cooling vga silenser. They are the best. Normal VGA-fans are crap, i belive they are actually made to break down....

    80mm case fan questions

    U have 2 front fans? Unnessesary. Front fans are in principle worthless, unless that is they are blowing on the hdd. Fans drawing air out of the case is the way to go. Remove any sucking fans (unless they blow on the hdd which needs to be cool) and have a fan at the back instead.

    How many case fans are enough?

    i WOULD BUY A artic cooling vga silencer , a lot quieter and exspells the hot gpu-air out of the case. Besides your vgafan will soon fail, they all do, and maybe frie your card. that should be enough, you might even remove the front fan if the hdd doenest go up in temp.

    Video Gliches / Artifacts on ati 9800 pro

    Act quickly. There is only one thing to do. Buy an Artic cooling VGA Silencer.(model 1) Dont run ATItool because its artifactschecking can heat up the gpu so it burns if the cooling is less than 100%. /Been there, done that...
