It surely must fit in if these guys can put this hugh watercooling block on their single PCB GPU. Essentially I am doing the same just with an integrated air cooler. I am going to get the board. It uses the same chipset (Nforce2 Ultra 400) so I shouldn't have any problems just putting it in...

Simple answer: money or lack of it. I'm going to university in about 9 months so I really need to save cash. I can't tell if they rise above it either but I think they do. Theres a couple of mm's space until the cooling system and those capacitors can't be much more than that taller. I found...

Hi, My beloved Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe has just died practically for unknown reasons and I need to get another motherboard. I am thinking of getting an Abit NF7-S V2.0 but when I looked at where the graphics cards mounts, I noticed that theres a choke and some capacitors below the AGP slot I...

Hi, I am looking for a TV capture card that is PCI not PCI-E (As my HTPC doesn't have it) and has RGB or Component Inputs, although component would be preferable as I can pass RGB over that as well and have progressive scan instead of interlaced. So far I have found quite a few reasonably...

Hi, Just a few hours ago, I completed the rebuilding of my much loved gaming computer, which I accidently blew up when I decided to replace the thermal compound a year and a half ago. (But thats another story) I now have a AMD Athlon XP-M 2500+ on an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe. But I have a slight...

Where do I find that? in the bios? The T7250 looks quite good - 2 ghz £70

Which C2D do you think would be best for less than £120? Will it matter that my motherboard has the older chipset in it?

Hi, I have at last managed to get a Socket A mounting kit for a Zalman 7000C-Cu cpu cooler, using the B model parts. Unfortunately the screws to mount a c model are slightly smaller to those that mount a B. I have tried lots of screws, standard case screws fit the hole but are too large to be...

Yes I have cleaned it numerous times - no improvement. As far as I knew it is possible to replace the cpu ona laptop if you can access it.

Hi, I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilio Li1718 laptop with an Intel Core 2 Duo T5300, which has a clock speed of 1.73Ghz. As the laptop is quite slow and going out of warranty soon in a few months, I am thinking about upgrading it to a newer core 2 duo as I know it is possible. What sort of Core 2...

Theres actually hardly any difference apart from the C being about 10g lighter - technically when I got told every time the C was more expensive than the B that I paid for so I was getting a good deal, I was actually getting ripped off as the B sells for about £30 and the C for £20. Too bad...

Already did that yesterday, just wanted to check to see if I was going down a dead end again. I just wish internet shops would update their product pages to the C model so I could actually see what I am getting - you won't believe how many times they have tried to fob me off with excuse that the...

If this is a laptop your talking about, my one always switches on when in sleep mode if a usb external mouse or keyboard are connected and any of the buttons are pressed - are you doing anything like that?

Hi, I am currently rebuilding my old but good socket A computer and I have been trying to find a Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu cooler for the last 9 months to replace the rubbish stock AMD heatsink that killed the last processor. I chose that cooler as it seemed to be last seriously good Socket A cooler...

My cash reserves are quite limited as I am a student (not at university, doing the two optional 16 -18 years in school in Britain, but we get pretty much the same stuff). To me the build looks good as it will be fast, but not too expensive, the only thing I may change is to that new Phemon II...
