    [NEWS] - Another price cut round between AMD and Intel

    Best Passively Cooled Video Card

    Some GF 5200's have passive cooling. The performance: You decide. Zalman could be a good idea, if You are willing to void warranty. It comes pre-installed only with some Radeon 9700/9800 cards, which tend to be overclocked, and priced to match performance. Cheers, Jan

    Memory Upgrade : 256 MB Dimms on a P2L97

    Hmm... I just read from Tom's (ok don't shoot me...) that some sticks have chips on both sides, but are only single-sided; Actually, the "correct" term would be single-row or -bank. Maybe there is more than meets the eye... Cheers, Jan

    Why not power peripherals off the PC power supply?

    True, especially if the ports are integrated to the motherboard (=no add-on cards) the current has to go through the motherboard. I think that the max. ratings are 0.5A for both USB and FireWire port. If You have (and use) more than one USB port, the max. power is shared. (maybe there is 0.5A...

    Hitachi 2.5-inch 60 GB 7.2kRPM & 80 GB 5.4kRPM Hard Driv

    Memory Upgrade : 256 MB Dimms on a P2L97

    If the MB's manual says that max. module size is 128 MBs, You'll probably get only 128 MBs from those modules (if they work at all). If the modules are 2-sided (chips on both sides), You could get 256 MB. If they are 1-sided, You'll probably get only 128 MB. Try and see... Cheers, Jan

    Intel Retail HSF Spec

    Unless the processor is something like 3 GHz with Hyper Threading enabled, the only time PIV will throttle back is when the CPU fan stops/breaks. IIRC there is/was a video at Tom's Hardware where the HSF was removed from PIV and Athlon XP when running Q3. PIV kept going (though it slowed down)...

    Intel Retail HSF Spec

    Yes, Tea, they do. Too bad that we have zero PIVs in this thread though. These Celerons are based on the Tualatin-core (PIII, that is). The cooling is not so bad either (below 40 deg C), I just could lower the noise a bit if I had any extra fan mounts in the back. Cheers, Jan

    Intel Retail HSF Spec

    Blake, I'd like to emphasize on "old version": The case was bought in 1999. It has the notorious one-piece cover and only the front fan mount. There is no back fan mount (allthough I've started to think about making one). I have nothing against the case per se, nor to Enlight. It just doesn't...

    Intel Retail HSF Spec

    Actually, I think that the temp inside the case is higher than that. The case I'm using is an old version ofEnlight EN-7237 with 235W PSU. The case has really poor cooling, only fan is in the PSU. There is a 80mm fan mount in the front, but it has no use in cooling. The motherboard's other temp...

    AOL and ICS

    I did make such a connection to a friend of mine once with an older version of Siemens WebWasher. It's an ad-blocking software with a proxy server. I don't know how well it worked, but surfing and ICQ worked over it. So, get a proxy program to the "server" machine. Cheers, Jan

    Intel Retail HSF Spec

    I used to run PIII 600 MHz (Coppermine, undervolted to 1.3V) with retail HSF. At full fan speed the processor (measured from the HS) had temp of 32 deg C. When I found SpeedFan, I could drop the fan speed to 70%, seeing only 1-2 deg rise. At that point the fan was inaudible, or all fan noise I...

    fanless computer design

    One of the biggest problems is the number of wires inside the case. You must simplify it somehow (no point running 30+ wires outside of the case). You would need at least six wires (+12V, +5V, +3.3V, -5V, -12V and the ground wire) from the external PSU to the computer. The wires must be very...

    [REVIEW] CoolerMaster Aero 7

    "deadspot" is, well, what You said. It's there, but it's "effective" only near (less than one cm) the fan. Also, most of the "cooling" happens in the pins/fins of the HS. What can be more interesting is "hotspot" with AMD processors (Intel uses heat spreaders, to eliminate hot-spots). The...

    [NEWS] - Intel invents overclock deterrent method

    Are You sure, Coug? I've always thought that Intel started using Slot-1 as they had the rights to it, similiar to renaming 586 to Pentium for rights. AMD bought their Slot-A technology (with the EV6 bus architechture along it) from Digital. Cheers, Jan
