Hi, I want to replace the cheapo 14" fans that came with my case. They make too much noise. So I'd like to know what you recommend both in terms of volume of air pushed and noise levels. I know that some fans come with unusual blade shapes, or speeds, etc. Thanks a lot!

Hi, Please forgive my utter ignorance in this matter. I'd like to know if it's possible to run a GTX 460 on a AMD (asrock) mobo. My limited understanding is that AMD mobos should be paired with AMD (ATI) videocards and Nvidia with Intel, but seeing how a GTX 460 is cheaper and faster than a...

Hi, I bougth a HP Pavilion DV6120 about 2 years ago. It came with 1gb RAM (2x512). According to the manual and the less-than-useful HP technician that I chatted with, the maximum the laptop will take is 2 Gb. However, I'd like to know if anybody has been able to bump a similar laptop to 4gb...

Hi, I posted this message in the overclocking forum yesterday but got no answers so I'm hoping someone will be able to answer here. I was wondering if there is a way to figure out the model number of an overclocked (or not) AMD processor. For example, the A64 +3700 runs at 11x200=2.2ghz. If I...

Hi, Just wondering if there is a way to figure out the model number of an overclocked (or not) AMD processor. For example, the A64 +3700 runs at 11x200=2.2ghz. If I overclock to 11x250=2.750ghz, what does that make it? A +4200or so? I know that some models do not exist in the real world, such...

Does anyone have any idea where to get Opterons in Canada? I live in Ottawa, and nobody has them. Even a site that has them listed, has them marked as backordered now. Thanks!

Hi guys, Just a silly question, I was wondering if I can replace my trusty A64 3000+ with a new X2 (whenever they become available) just by dropping the new chip in or if I need to reinstall windows xp so it can see the two processors. Thanks! Gabriel.

Hello, I'm connecting to the internet through a Linksys router configured to use pppoe. The mtu on the router has been set to 1492, as indicated in speedguide.net. Should I configure my PCs with the same mtu or should I keep it at 1500? Thanks!

Hello guys, I just got this motherboard, I have a Pioneer dvd-burner and an LG 52x cd drive. Every time I insert a cd in the LG, the machine freezes. I have to push the eject button and then wait for about 30 secs before Windows (mouse, keyboard, anything) comes back. I have no problems with...

Hello folks, I'm building a new PC and I've finally decided to take the plunge and get a socket 939 mobo and processor. I've read the messages on this board and people seem to recommend (mostly) the Asus A8V, Abit AV8 or the MSI Neo2 Platinum. But it also seems that each board has its own...
