    Anyone ever modified the fans on a Del 2824?

    My Dell 2824 is incredibly loud... louder than any other component in my room by far :) Anyone ever modified the fans or even better just killed them entirely? I searched but couldn't find confirmation that anyone had tried.

    CPU-Z and my IX38... multipliers not agreeing

    In my BIOS I have the multiplier set to x9 and my speed to 350mhz. That holds true regardless of reboots, etc; :) In Vista x64 with CPU-Z however it shows the multiplier to be x6. I'm sort of stuck... who's right and who's wrong? Thanks, MP

    3rd party (quieter) cooling for an 8800GTX?

    I've got an eVGA 8800GTX (non-Ultra) and I've been poking around for cooling options without much luck. Am I missing something obvious? While it's not a tornado with the stock cooler, if I could get it a little quieter I wouldn't mind. No water cooling :) Any suggestions? Thanks, Paul

    Somehow I think I killed my eVGA

    Hey guys, I've had my eVGA 680i running fairly happily for the better part of a year now but yesterday I think it might have decided to go kaput. I was running 2x150GB SATA drives and an IDE DVD drive. I rebooted and found no boot device. So I'm thinking damn, I lost my RAID0. But then I...

    Antec Solo... how do you shut the front when using the top drive bay?

    Ok, maybe I'm just an idiot but how do you get the front to close correctly when using anything in the top drive bay? The metal clips from the drive mount stick out the sides and cause me to have to force the front closed, which makes it sit funny. Thanks!

    eVGA 680i and a Scythe Infinity fit... sort of.

    Just as an FYI, the eVGA 680i will take a Scythe Infinity with one small problem. If you orient it so that the fan is blowing across the largest side and then out the back, the fins will rest on (and be slightly bent up by) the fins from the chipset heatpipe. It makes putting the fan on the...

    Anyone tried any aftermarket coolers on an 8800?

    Just curious if any of the after market coolers will fit on an 8800... I know the waterblock is available, but I'm talking air cooling :)

    Best CPU cooler to go in an Antec Solo?

    I bought an Anec solo and love the case, but have found a problem... the Scythe Infinity I bought is too big :(. Does anyone have a recomendation for a good cooler small enough to fit in the Solo on a P5B deluxe? Preferrably that doesn't sound like a vacuum cleaner :).

    Should I have chosen a board other than the P5B Deluxe?

    Got all my parts coming in for my E6600 OC attempt, but I'm getting nervous now about my choice of the Asus P5B Deluxe. It looks like most people went with the P5W instead, for reasons I'm not entirely clear on :). While I doubt I'm going to challenge anyone here for the top spot on the OC...
