Thank God i finally received my FMA back today so now i can again try to push my proc to it's limit

I took back my old asus book manual but i don't understand , which one to plug in .It shows all the component wayar.Need help ,any basic assemble manual at the internet website ? Really know nothing about hardware .. I want to learn my self too

Thanks , i think of getting something new with at least a year warranty/

Err... Dream X3 is a very so so heatsink. It is quite impossible to cool down your 3.0E

if possible just direct screw the fan on the alu net(promised that wont spoil the net), blow air on your HFS.

my friend tried to put 4 fans on his panel like yours, 2 intake 2 exhaust. Not so loud if you using silent fan. i still remember his 7000rpm delta fan playing hard rock concert on the alpha cooler

currently i open my side panel and a stand fan blow directly to it. lucky dont have cicak lipas. My prob now is the dust.

hoho...nice to hear that. fast fast pasang and rock your cpu.

Actually essembling a PC is very simple only
You follow the steps in ur manual book, then u will know how to assemble any kind of motherboards, its just that you need to be careful while plugging in the wires for the HDD light and etc

@kingmax,if you planning to do so you can go to bulk order.I see somebody is selling the Asrock S478 mobo there.Other than Asrock still got other brand too.

@Kingmax
Google around for some guides on setting up pc, there are some quite complete guide i read few years ago.

currently using a celeron only.
gonna get myself a 7300GT first, if it cannot meet my gaming requirement, then will change to P4 3.0G HT

by then, i bet i have to fork out another several hundred for a cooler and a better PSU....

7000rpm?! you gotta be kiddin me...
last time when my stock fan was running @ 5000rpm like that, the sound was already terrifying... can feel the table vibrates... 7000?!?! OMG....

really 7k rpm. it is a 80mm fan, 2cm tall if not wrong. so loud the fan. Cant tahan the sound. luckuy not mine.

correction, not 80mm, it's 60mm, but currently retired. cools very well, sounds very loud, but push lots of air, Its for cooling the legendary hot @ss Athlon Thunderbird, don't play play

Anyway, recently changed to P4 3.06 (478), though its a bit late, got it 2nd hand.

Overall, can't complain much though, since it's a poor man's rig when i was still in college, have to make the best out of what's available. Now going the silent route, using Zalman coolers and CM's case fans.

catch snake, my friend. wahaha....... the p4 temp still at 60'c??

P4 temp dropped a lot by replacing the low profile OEM sink that was in the COMPAQ system with Zalman Fatal1ty FS-C77. Reason for the increase of temperature is replacement of p4 2.4Ghz that only consumes 60W compared to the current 3.06Ghz that takes 82W. More wattage, more heat. The CPU is also HT by default, but since the ABIT BG-70 (COMPAQ OEM) i845 mobo does not support HT, it only performs in single logical CPU mode, which also increases the temp (according to findings from several techsites that confirmed temp increase by disabling HT on HT CPU) since no load balancing is done during normal operation. But now all is good, idling 46C, load 52C, despite my mATX casing. Previously idle 54C, load 60C++. Sleeved the PSU for better airflow in the mATX casing too.




Also installed Zalman Fatal1ty FS-V7 on the 7600GS AGP. Before: idle-52C load-65C++. After: idle-46C load-54C.



Copper heatsinks with some bling bling, yummy...

P/S: kabukiawie, sorry to hear that your purchase of xp120 in the Thermalright bulk v2 has been cancelled.

i know that.

canceled? how come?

The supplier - "sidewinder computers" delay in shipments... thats y there are no more 2nd bulk...

yeah just installed it back last night with my 6800GS gonna try to reach 3Ghz now

yeah i have a delta FFB 80mm x 35mm pushing in over 80+cfm and the sound level is 57dba

You're probably refering to my previous heavily modded setup, eh bro? Yeah, just use simple logic to improve airflow. Below are some examples on what I have done to my current extremely limited space, mATX casing. Modded side panel.

aw wth man seems like i still can oc my pc tried 2520mhz also cannot.could be due to me divider though which was on 5:4 ratio

have u tried increase the cpu voltage a bit?

yeah tried that also..default is 1.525v and i increased it to 1.575v still cant.ram voltage was also increased.

and my asus mobo fluctuates alot

dang.thought that when i get my FMA back i could oc it back.yeesh.
