    Motherboard temperature

    Hi guyz, I'am doing a schoolproject about cpu-cooling. I'm reading the temperature of my cpu in the BIOS. But one of my teachers asked how does the Mobo measures the temperature? I don't know how the Mobo does this... So does anyone have an answer to this? That'd be really nice!! Greetz, Rick

    Choosing between two watercooling-sets

    Hi guyz, Me and a friend are doing a schoolproject about watercooling. We are comparing watercooling to aircooling. I may not cost to much, so we went on the internet and found this. A XSPC X2O v4, and a Thermaltake Pro-water 850l. They cost about the same, so that's no problem. Links...

    Crossfire 4850 and 5850

    Hi guyz, I've a question. I've bought a new pc, with a 5850. Now the 5850 is still not here. So a pc without a graphic card.... My other card is broken, so I thought, maybe I can buy a second-hand 4850 now and put my 5850 next to it when it arrives. So can I crossfire a 5850 and a 4850? My...

    Starting the pc without graphic card

    Hi guyz, I just got my new computer. All the components were delivered, but the 5850 not.... So now I've got a pc without a graphic card or an onboard chipset.

    4890 or 5870 on 1680 - 1050

    Hi guyz, Is it worth it to put a 5870 in, that's 2,5 times so expensive as a 4890? I'm playing on a resolution of 1680 by 1050. And I mostly use my pc for games... Thx :wahoo:

    Corsair XMS3 vs. OCZ Reaper HPC Edition Triple Channel

    Do I have to still buy a i7 920?

    I made a gaming system and in that configuration was a i7 920. Now with the release of the i5, it looks like the i7 920 is pwned by the i5 750? I'm still thinking of buying a i7, because if you just overclock it a bit, it's already faster. And the mobo are much better with the 1366 socket...
