depends on ur casing. if ur casing has top exhaust, better facing upward, with the heatsink fan sucking air from bottom and blowing to the top. cos hot air moves upwards. but if ur casing doesnt have top exhaust, then facing backward...

lately my laptop fan too noisy.. how to fix?

Eh? I thought PSUs are supposed to take cool air in from the bottom of the case and exhaust it immediately out the back? I can't seeing any PSUs with a top vent before. It's always on the side.

Which means you will install fan side down with the exhaust vent towards the provided slot in your case as per the picture below. Though note that the case in question has a PSU mount on top instead.

Thanks a lot bro.

hi, what is important about chipset? i have a core 2 duo e4500, and i want to buy a board, i see so many diferent price and chipset, what so important?
because if i buy intel 945 chipset also run the c2d, and buy g31 also run?
please help me.

Mainly better processor support, more efficient manufacturing process of the chipset, slightly higher overclock-ability.

You can't run certain Core 2 Quad processors on 945-series, but G31 supports most, if not all of them including the 45nm Quad/Extreme.

However, the price difference of both isn't much, so going with the newer G31 is a better investment.

Eh? i thought we're talking about cpu coolers a.k.a. heatsinks?

Fishsticks! Note to self; don't post anything for at least one hour after waking up. My bad.

if i were to buy Abit I45C, can it use ATI 4850? does chipset affect the GC that u can use? thanks in advances

It'll work fine, not affected by chipset

go to shop..or take out everything..might be a lose screw..

... or accumulated too much dust thus the fan spins faster in its effort to keep the temperature at bay

ooh, moar pls.

dust, even if case-ed rig, can also gather dust wor.

case-less rig, cover with cloth if no use, can prevent dust? if wanna remove dust, easier also? scared static electricity?

eh, i mean this thread can be v4 liao.

anyone?

I just pay for a 1.5TB HDD anyway, hope it can be used :

motherboard doesn't limit your HDD memory. Yes you can use it. As long as you have sata slot to plug in. No problem.

caseless user here. when fan spin, it will suck dust in. caseless also easy to clean them.
but becareful cicak attack ur rig



NF4 user here, running 1TB disk
