[H] CPU Fan for an AMD FX55
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 can use for the AMS FX55.

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.

[H] wipe NTFS
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 on NTFS partition. Is there a program that will clean off unused space on a NTFS drive in the same sort of way?
RE: [H] CPU Fan for an AMD FX55
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 heatsink). I run this on a P4 3.2Ghz (512K) and for over a week ran fanless @ 50C until I ran an old RTS game and it heated up past 70C. With a 92mm Antec three speed silent fan on the slowest setting I never see the temp rise past 40C in heavy gaming and is idle at 34C. http://www.thermaltake.com/coolers/comboCool/cl-p0024tower112/cl-p0024tower112.htm From: Tim Lider [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], The Hardware List hardware@hardwaregroup.com To: The Hardware List hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] CPU Fan for an AMD FX55 Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2005 08:59:17 -0700 Hello all, I am looking for a good CPU fan for my new AMD FX55 CPU.

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.

[H] Copy protected CDs
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 to confuse a pc. I was going to send it back because I normally refuse to buy copy-protected CDs, but the wife wanted to keep it. My question to ya'll is: Is this the kind of protection that can be overridden with the black marker? If so, is it the inside or outside track that I need to blacken? Thanks, Bobby
Re: [H] CPU Fan for an AMD FX55
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 was the point at which it stopped trashing the HDD.

They have an online web form to request an RMA, but all they do is refer you to the PDF RMA form that was available the whole time. You must fill this out and _FAX_ it to Antec, along with your original receipt. (which is flippin' stupid anyway, they should be able to get the date from the serial number).

Re: [H] Antec TruePower is OUT
1. good to hear! 2. They can only tell the manufacture date from the serial number. which should be enough esp on a 1 year old unit that has 3 year warranty. BS for sure to have to Fax and not having an online/email RMA process is just not acceptable these days I still need to call DLink to get 2 of my camera's RMA'd. One dcs-3220 w/ rev 1.0 firmware, no updates doesn't seem to get that upload to remote ftp port 21 does not mean 5376! The other, DCS-900, mysteriously overheated sitting plugged in idle on my bookshelf the past 3 months. On the bright side I decided to try SanDisk vie web/email again about my dead circa 2002 256mb SD card since i found the invoice stuffed somewhere, got not only a RMA but free fedex return shipping w/o talking to a live person. This in contrast to when call last year stated it was purchased via ebay and they weren't going to honor the warranty w/o faxing invoice, but I was smarter this time mentioned the vendor's web site instead (now defunct vendor).

If it will help, I have a 98SE Startup Disk and I can zip it up and send it to you. Let me know. Jeff Lol, they do, but you need Win98 to write a disk. I have the file, don't run win98, can't open the file with winzip or winrar. So the fact that its there is doing me no goodski. Guees I didn't explain it well enough.

Jeff 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 (winimage) of it and send it back I would certainly appreciate it.

RE: [H] Mixing Ram ECC and non-ECC 168pin on a computer
I have never had a problem mixing them. Like RAM defaults to the lower value. At 06:29 PM 4/20/2005, you wrote: In older BIOSes you typically have to enable ECC. Sodon't enable it and you might have luck. Worth a shot anyway.

I have a 128 meg stick of ECC - Obviously they are currently using non-ECC. They have an empty slot. Will the bios just ignore the extra bits or will this cause a problem? thanks
Re: [H] anyone running win98
OK.I understand nowyes it is late and I should have caught that the first time. I have a friend that is still running 98SE but can't get to him until tomorrow. If you want to send me the files, and your friend can hold off for a day or so, I'll contact him tomorrow and make the disks for you and zip them up and email them to you. Jeff The file (works only in win98 - will not work in XP because of protected layers. The file not only creates a bootable diskette but it writes the bios installation file and the binary file for updating the system bios to the diskette. Since I can't write the disk I can't get at those two files. I have several dos boot disks but without the two files I am sunk. Guess its late, thanks Jeff. I guess I don't understand what you are trying to do. Reading your first post again I understand that you wish to make a Win 98 boot disk so that you can install a BIOS update for the Presario motherboard. At that point I do not understand the interaction with 98 as you will be in DOS. Are you looking for an installation boot disk(Startup Disk made with 98)?
