Ok, I have a quick question. I have a 160GB sata hard drive with 3 partitions. partition C: has windows xp and D: and E: are just data. What I want to do is just format C: and do a clean install of windows again on the same partition. My question is, will I still need a floppy with the sata...

Hey guys I'm looking for a good PC case for under 75$, preferably mid-tower. Basically I just want something with good airflow and something that doesn't attract too much dust. Looks are unimportant to me, but it would be nice to have one with a side window. Can anyone here point me in the...

Ok so I'm lookin into buying a laptop and I'm wondering which of these two processors is more powerful? Intel Core Duo T2500 or the AMD Turion X2 TL-50?

Ok so I've narrowed it down to these 2 laptops: Acer Aspire 5610-2013 - 600$ Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T2060 1.6GHz (1MB L2 Cache), 1GB RAM, 120GB IDE Hard Drive, 15.4-inch WXGA TFT Display, 8X DVD+/-RW Drive, Intel Integrated Graphics, Windows Vista Home Premium Acer Aspire 5100-3357...

awesome, could you post the results later on? like how much it dropped your temps? thanks.

I'm lookning to buy an antivirus software, and I've narrowed it down to either BitDefender, NOD32, or Klaspersky antivirus. I'd like to hear some opinions on which is best. And are there any other better ones that im missing? help please. thanks!

yeah i know those are pretty high, I actually have no case airflow at all right now. :( The only thing I have really is a Zalman CNPS9500LED and yeah, I have it blowing air out of the case, but I cant live on that forever. So yeah, I'm getting a couple of silverstone 120MM fans next week though...

I found an interesting article over on Overclockers.com explaining how you can dramatically decrease CPU & Motherboard temps by mounting a fan on the backside of the motherboard blowing directly under where the CPU is. http://www.overclockers.com/tips1177/ Has anyone here tried this? Anyone...

i sure did. Arctic Silver 5 Termal Compound, thx. And about the ambient temps, yeah maybe your right. It has been getting warmer the past couple of days here in southern cali.

I just got a new Zalman CNPS9500 LED 3 days ago, and up to now every day my cpu rises by 1 degree Celcius!!! 3 days ago it was 38, yesterday 39, and today 40. All idle temps. Can someone tell me whats going on? Oh and another thing, the first day i got it my system would load at CPU:45C and...

but i'm not sure which way its supposed to be facing. Is the fan side supposed to be facing the rear of the case, or is it supposed to be facing towards the front?

My motherboard (Asus A8M-VM) gets pretty hot easily and my stock AMD CPU fan spins out of control (6000rpm when gaming and thats not even at full load) so I think I need to do some case cooling. I also want to lower my CPU temps (Athlon 64 3800+ Venice 939). Which of these products would be most...

I will be building in a Mid-Tower case. I will not really be doing gaming, just really mild gaming. I will mostly use it for multimedia stuff.

So I've narrowed it down to these three motherboards. I will be using an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (Venice Rev. E6) Socket 939 processor Which is the best, and which should I get? Biostar TForce 6100-939 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138264 Asus A8N-VM...
