The stock heatsink on my i7 920 was very dirty. The thing is I was drunk so when I tried putting it back...

    My core i7 920 idles at 100Celsius

    That seems way above normal isn't it? I'm using a stock cooler but other people with stock coolers say theirs idle at 50C so what can be wrong? Is 100C dangerous for the processor?

    Why does my wireless router disconnect me every 2 minutes?

    I didn't actually take the time. It's random maybe. And annoying as fuck. My router is the famous LINKSYS WRT54GL. I'm sure this is a typical networking issue. Other people with wireless computers in my house don't experience this problem.

    Need PSU with long cables. (Maybe Enermax Revolution?)

    Can anyone assure me the CPU power cable on the Enermax Revolution 1050w will be long enough to go out through the back of my case and back in?

    Question to 2408wfp owners.

    I'm on the verge of buying a new screen. I'd like to hear from some people who've tried the screen and know if the input lag is a serious issue or just something that a hardcore gamer would notice.
