The idea behind thermal paste is to "fill in" the areas where the block and cpu don't make good contact, machine lines etc. I use a credit card to smooth the paste evenly on the block and cpu. If...

Hey Marc.. I understand your frustration. It's no fun when your mods make things worse, but that's the learning curve...
Sounds to me like you have air stuck in your waterblock. Bleeding these...
Some specs would help, but I think it may a problrm with the power to your gpu. What kind of card is it?
Perhaps try a different line to your video card, swap the dvd line and the gpu line etc.. ...
One method I've have tried, successfully, is a small registry edit. I learned this through someone on another forum, so I will take no credit for this, I just hope it can help you.
If your...
Thank you. This thing has been bugging me for a while, and I have been unable to find anything...
I did have a trial version of system mechanic on this machine a while back, thought it was gone,...
Anybody ever seen this folder?? I have no idea what it is or if it's even neseccary. It seems a little omnious, and I can't seem to find any solid information about it, and was hoping one of you guys...
Ummm... sorry, "availability of power.." assumed that was what you were saying.
That's right, but regardless, cpu-z will tell you what you've got...
I've seen this happen with inexpensive lighting. I think the problem is, as Crenn said, a voltage spike.
Do you mean activate?? I'm pretty sure ms gives only 30 days before you have to activate the install for it to continue to work.
What you can do is call the 800 #, explain why you are...
There are 2 chipsets on your mobo, a northbridge and a southbridge. Go to my computer, right click, go to manage and go to system devices. I don't know if this will work if the drivers are not...
Oh my....finally. I feel your pain bro, but trust me, don't waste the gas goin to compusa. They'll look at you with nothin but a blank stare. I assure you your mobo will fit in almost any ATX case...
I've got several of these cases and I have absolutely no idea what it's for. I've tried to use it for wire management and it just makes it worse. No clue. Hopefully someone knows.
I've found the best way to cut a window in a two layer side panel is to remove the inner layer first. Carefully use a cutoff wheel to cut a square that's larger than your design in the inner layer....
Why?? If your psu doesn't have a temp controlled fan on it already, it doesn't need one, imho.. you could probably take the stock fan out and replace it with an 80mm case fan, attach it to a...
It's impossible to mount it as a 478.. those boards use standoff's behind the mobo to support the weight of the stock heatsink. The 939 has to have to back plate behind the board to attach the...
Yes.. but only the thinner wires coming out of the molex connector. Not all four.. when you get your light kits you'll see what I mean.. there will be two thin wires coming out of the molex connector...
You can splice the wires into one switch, I don't know if that will effect thier lifespan or not, but you can. I've had a lot of luck with CCFL lighting, and I never turn them off, but if you need a...
If you look at the specs on the lighting that you've got on your shopping list you'll see that they come with a switch already mounted on a back plate. These fit in an empty expansion slot. Just take...
You might try using acrylic glue instead of epoxy.. it won't crack and you can make your own. Take the left over plexi that was ruined by your first attempt.. smash it to bits and put it in a glass...
Rankenphile is right.. skim it with bondo. As for ctting thin steel or alum, an effective way of doing this is to "sandwich" or clamp the piece between two pieces of thin plywood... transfer your...
