I have a Volcano 6cu, it came with the processor. It doesn't run at 7000 rpm like they say, only about 5400 to 5600 but the cooling between the stock and the processor are about the same. So save the money and the hellish noise. Go with stock. I thought noise wasn't going to be a problem, but it...
I ordered a barebones system and got it yesterday, and much to my suprise it wasn't the processor I ordered. I had ordered an AMD 1600+ and they told me it was backordered and they were expecting a shipment in the next few days.Guess it never showed up, they sent me an AMD 1700+ to make up for...
I have been hearing alot about water cooling systems, and though it sounds great, my idea is , what about a refrigerating system? Like the one most everyone has on the car. Not cold enough to freeze the CPU but enough to keep it to keep it at 40 or 50 F. This is an idea that has floating around...
A good filtering system will do the trick. Although your attic maybe a lot cooler, it is in my opinion, alot dustier, and I'm sure you don"t want to blow all that dust on your processor. So you might want to consider that when you head to the shop to buy your supplies.
This kit works like the duct on your dryer it keeps the heat outside. The duct work keeps most of the heat out of the case. So it will help the ambient temp in the case for all your other components.So yes the kit will work for drawing the heat off the processor, directly to the outside of your...
I just ordered a barebones system with the Epox 8KHA+ and it comes with the Theramltake Volcano 6CU already installed. So you can rest assured it will. Good luck with the upgrade.
P.S.- It is AMD 1600+ CPU, so it will provide enough cooling for the processor.

I am going to upgrade my system with:
Asus A7V266 motherboard
AMD 1700+ XP
256 Mb DDR
My questions is: What would be the best fan and heatsink (under $50) for this set up.
I am planning to overclock the 1700+ so I'll need some major air flow.
I am trying for the most airflow with the least...
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if any other motherboard is sporting the new Nforce chipset, besides Microstar: aka:MSI? If not, does MSI make a motherboard worthy enough for me spend my money on?
I am asking because I am upgrading my computer.
I am leaning toward the Nforce chipset/...
