Problem with new P4 3.06 & win98se installation by
127.0.0.1
X-No-Archive: yes
Just upgraded my processor from a P4 1.7 - P4 3.06ghz.
The problem is Windows 98 SE always locks up at the same point at the start.
I established that the system is stable by putting windows XP on an external
hard drive and running PRIME95 & MEMTEST. Both ran fine for hours...

Switching from AMD to INTEL! by
Wayne Youngman
Greetings,
After 4 months of living in Barton/nForce2 land, I have decided it's about
time I *knock-up* a current INTEL rig (with a view to overclock!).
I really do rate my AMD systems, but I believe that INTEL has a superior
*Memory & SATA RAID* implementation, and I wants it! (my Precious).
I...

I'm screwed. by
rpgs rock dvds
Can't get the large metal plate off my 8800GT so I can begin to remove
the stock cooler. Problem is all my screwdrivers are crap and won't
engage properly in the tiny screw head so I can turn them and unscrew
the buggers. I've got lots of silly little screwdrivers, but I think
I got most of them...

Major ISPs dropping Usenet by
nospam
Time-Warner is dropping all newsgroups. Verizon is keeping most of
the Big-8 but is dropping the entire alt.* hierarchy, which includes this
group.
Keep this in mind for future posts, and you may wish to migrate any
existing discussions to a non-alt.* group.

What's the point of overclocking? by
mike3
Hi.
Why do people feel the need to overclock their hardware, anyway? I
don't overclock, I settle for the speed the hardware I got is meant to
run at. After all, overclocking means you have to spend _more_ money in
the long run for a given speed, not less, since it shortens the
lifespan and you...

Cooling Questions by
Peter Cavan
Hi
I have a Dell Dimension 8300 on which I want to improve the cooling. I want
to do this because I know the PC overheats after about 1 hr and is quite
unstable. There is currently the fan in the PSU and a fan on the back which
is vented to act as the CPU fan. I also added a PCI fan to cool the...

Tualatin in a GA-6WMMC7 by
~misfit~
Well, after removing the IHS from my Tualatin Celly 1.3GHz CPU I looked
around my parts area and found the only Socket 370 board I have that is
capable of running Coppermines was the aforementioned GA-6WMMC7. It's a
fairly Crap(tm) board, mATX, on-board graphics that use system RAM, no AGP
slot and...

Zalman 7000A copper cooler...disappointed? by
Sydtech
Today I installed a Zalman 7000A copper cooler in my P4 2.8ghz machine
w/Antec Sonata case. The idea was to replace the noisy stock Intel heat sink
and fan with something quieter and - hopefully - cooler (unfortunately no
place that was open today had a Zalman Northbridge heatsink, or I...

Thermal heatsink Glue? by
Dave E
Hi,
I bought a water cooling kit last week. It was only an £80 cheapie so I
wasn't too surprised when the clip supplied with the northbridge copper
cooling block didn't fit (wasn't even close!) I have an Abit NF7 mobo and
need to somehow attach this water block to it. Any ideas? I've tried...

Used to overclock, but now problems by
Rich Sias
I was overclocking a dual celeron 366 to 550 and sometimes more until last
summer when I had difficulty installing some software for work. I Regular
clocked it to install and run to not have any problems. Now I can't set it
back. I must have changed the numbers in my BIOS too much. So I tried...

Overclockers.co.uk packaging standards by

Hi
I am wondering what packaging Overclockers.co.uk generally uses when sending
out graphics cards to customers. Does it use the graphics card's box in a
jiffy bag method or does it wrap the card's box in 2" thick all-round bubble
wrap or foam all placed in a cardboard box? What's your...

Fan Controller and Fan causes floppy drive failure by
Andrew Diamond
My thesis, which will sound nutty, is the following: The use of my Vantec
Fan Controller to turn down the speed of my two intake 80mm case fans causes
my floppy drive to fail. I will defend this below but now for the setup,
pathology, and history.
Setup:
I recently installed a Vantec Silver...
