My 8800gt fan has gone out. I cannot find a replacement fan, only whole cooling kits that are just under 100$. Id really like to keep this old beast alive as it works great on my relatively low res 720p living room TV but 100$ is out of the question.
Does anyone know where i can get a fan...
Im in need of a fan/heatsink for my good old 8800 gt oc. The brand is BFG. Needs to be aftermarket as apparently the stock ones all fail and melt the card.

My neighbor has an A8M2N-LA (am2 only) mobo. It is bad and he is about to order another. This board accepts DDR2 ram. I just want to make sure he will be able to use his X2 4600 and DDR2 ram with a AM3/AM2/AM2+ mobo. Might as well get the AM3 board so he can get a better CPU later. Ive been...

Im putting together a killer Quake III rig for my buddy.
I need a HS/Fan for a socket 462 and 2GB of DDR ram. I put DDR 400 in this mobo to test it and it so 400 might be best, unless someone knows if some other speed will work. Specs say no faster than DDR 266 so im not sure.
Im building soon and have been checking out i7 stuff. But wouldnt just doing a cheap q6700 and some SSD HDD be money better spent?
The quad cores still have lots of life in them right?.

I have an older biostar N-force 939 board. The NB fan went out about 2-3 years ago so last week i thougt it would be a good idea to order a new fan:D I got the fan in, the heatsink doesn't sit flush with the NB chip and also the 2 prong plugs that this fan can plug into to do not work, if i use...
I have a Modded 20 GB 360 i recently acquired from a local modder. It runs great, plays backups and has a fan mod (that does make it kinda loud) that does keep it cool. I visited the modders house and would feel very safe buying from him. He had business cards and everything O_O. Ill send you...

I have a Antec 900 case, Q6700 (rosewill fan), 9800GTX, Tuniq 1200 watt PSU (which runs ice cold) Everything is at stock settings and i dont plan on overclocking. Think i could get away with turning off the top and front fans? That would make this rig almost silent except when the 9800 is...
