Hello all,
I am looking for a good CPU fan for my new AMD FX55 CPU. I curretly
have the Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu and I am dissapointed in the performance of
the CPU. Last night while running PlanetSide the CPU reached a whoping 60c.
I am wondering if there is a CPU cooler you guys know about that I

I really like and prefer the XP120 Heatsink + a midline 120 mil fan (I use the
Panaflo 120) you can check it at http://www.heatsinkfactory.com/
If you think 60C is bad (and yes, on a FX55, that's on the high side) wait till
you see the dual core Intel output.. good lord.

I really do not care for the silence of a CPU at this point. Although,
I do not want it too loud.
I will post specs on the computer Soon. This computer is new and worked
well over the weekend as a burnin. Now I have just noticed the CPU
temperature getting to high.
Regards,

Norton Speed Disk has a wipe utility option that write zeros to un used
space when defragging FAT and FAT32 drives. This doesn't exist with Norton

Thermaltake Tower112. Pure copper tower with six heat pipes. Capable of
running fanless provided you arent a gamer and have other fans in the
system. With a fan (you supply your own 80 or 92mm fan) it's cooling is
among the best, up there with the ThermalRight XP-120 (120mm fan housing
The ThermalRight XP-120 is considered to be among the best cooling heatsinks
available and also the potential to be the most quiet - one problem is that
it does not fit all motherboards and you need to check compatability. This
is why I went with the Thermaltake Tower112 because the XP-120
I ordered the ThermalTake Tower112 with 2 of the Fans for it. Let's see
how it works out.

The layout of my memory recommendations was all messed up but you get the
idea. It take lots more RAM than the name brand folks install in low end

Hey,
I bought my wife the Scorpions Greatest Hits CD. When I tried to rip it on
my PC so she could play it on the PC, it would not play. I could look at
the files in explorer. Since it plays fine in a boom box, I am assuming
that this is the copy protection where they put a data file on the CD
Honestly two fans are overkill. As long as you can fit a 92mm fan on the
bottom of the Tower blowing upwards (assuming a tower configuration), the
PSU fan should be right over it pulling in and exhausting hot CPU air.

LOL, it took more RAM then most of them installed in ANY of their
computers! Gotta get that price point right on an otherwise junk box.
Was one of the most common upgrades I did from '94-98.
My rule of thumb was if your HD light is on constantly then you need
more RAM. I found 24MB under '95
Just thought I would follow up:
1. Motherboard/Procs/RAM/cards/etc are all okay; the Antec didn't kill them
when it popped
2. The SeaSonic appears to be doing a good job. My 12V rail is higher than
with the Antec, but the +5 rail is about 0.04V lower.
3. Antec's RMA procedure is absurd. They

In older BIOSes you typically have to enable ECC. Sodon't enable it and
you might have luck. Worth a shot anyway.

Depends on if the stick is registered (buffered) or not. Most ECC sticks are
also registered. That won't mix with the standard unbuffered memory.

Need to know if anyone on the list is running win98 and has winimage.
Updating a friend's Presario and the only bios update was a win98 proggie
that write a boot disk for updating the bios.
I would send you the file to write to a floppy then if you could make the
floppy and then an image
You might just go to http://www.bootdisk.com and make any bootable disk you
need.
