My case has to lay on its side. I may attack the computer desk with a saw to allow it to stand up since the side vents aren't exposed to well on one side. I spoke to a mate of mine who has exactly the same setup with a different case and he gets pretty much identical figures for the heat at...

i have set the fan on the back (the stock case fan) with the logo facing out, i think this is drawing air out of the case. The fan at the front pulls air in. I have the corsair fan sitting in a box at the moment but i can always put that in as well. I suppose the only thing that could be...

Hi, I don't post much but i wanted to check something. I just stuck together new pc and haven't had any issues so far but the temps are concerning. AMD 965 Black edition 3.4Ghz Fractal Design R2 case Corsair H50 cpu cooler Gigabyte GA-790XTA-UD4 8800GT old card 6GB corsair ram XM3...

I see that i need this driver to unlock the 16 Pipelines, but maintaining the clock speeds. There are 3 X800 XT PE BIOS's available, does it matter which one i use? I can see one has a different clock speed so that leaves 2.

I have looked around the web and i can find a few versions of the BIOS for this card, whats the best site to get the correct BIOS from? this is the site i was using as a guide http://www.techpowerup.com/printarticle.php?id=100 I assume i need this one X800 Pro VIVO 16P (AGP) 256 MB

I have had a look about for used cards, i guess its worth holding out for a 256MB version.

Which one of the cards you listed would you purchase second hand? I can buy a new card but i feel its almost a waste of money as i will have to change it when i upgrade my motherboard.

I have a geforce 5600 card at the moment and it struggles a lot with battlefield 2, all low settings. I only have a 4x AGP connection on my motherboard, I want something a bit better for games. I can't stretch to upgrade my whole computer yet.

I was thinking about one of those 512MB n6800 pci graphics cards i have seen floating about on the web. Anyone know anything about these, as in if they are any good

Thanks for the help.

After cleaning up the CPU and using arctic silver 5 my cpu is running at 51c, the motherboard is running at 30c, the CPU temp has crept up since switching it on (it started at 41c) but it seems to have stablised. The fan isn't even kicking in at maximum speed :) 4500rpm is my idle speed...

Well i am just about to order some new thermal compound, Arctic silver 5 is currently the best stuff about at the moment isn't it? i can get it for £4.64inc VAT + £3.30 shipping, know anywhere cheaper. I guess once i have cleaned it up then i can take a look at replacing the fan, never...

I think its a 2" fan, currently the PC is pretty quiet. The hard drive sits in its aluminium caddy and doesn't make a whisper and the 4 other fans don't appear to make any noise whatsoever. The CPU fan makes all the noise in this case unfortunately. Is it worth replacing the heatsink at...

The cpu cooler is a large copper heatsink, it has 2 heat transfer pipes out of one side that run through the fins, its a pretty big beast, the fan is a high speed unit that came with it, i aquired this from a friend who bought something even larger. The fan is plugged into the motherboard...

Hi i am new here. Looked at the board previously but never signed up until now. I have been running my old Asus K7V33 motherboard and AMD Athlon XP 2500+ cpu for a while now in an old case i have lying around. It always used to run quite hot, the system wasn't overclocked and ran at 63c at...
