CPU diode on a xp (palamino core)

Your Pal 1500+ does have an ondie thermal sensor. Palamino was the 1st AMD cpu to do that. As far as your readings, check the FAQs on the MBM site. Sometimes there are bogus sensor readings that you can still select when you setup MBM. Just be sure to select the correct sensor according to...

Thermaltake SubZero 4G - any good?

Yeah, looks pretty cool. I like the idea of an external AC hookup to power the TEC instead of robbing power from the ATX supply.

Thermaltake SubZero 4G - any good?

http://www.thermaltake.com/products/subzero/subzero4g.htm#p4 I was checking this cooler out and was wondering if anyone here has experience with it? $99 at newegg. Thinking about getting this, and a 2500+ Barton 333 (hoping to OC to 3200+400). Here are my system specs: Asus A7N8X Deluxe...

Win2k SP4 screws network pooch?

OK. Basic network config = One Win2k system, one Win98SE system, USR switch/boardband router (using DHCP), print server built into switch. Before installing SP4, I could access my Win2K shared drives from the Win98 system, and vice versa. Also, the printer is connected to the...

Win2k SP4 screws network pooch?

Title says it all. I'm running on a USR broadband router/switch, and after I installed SP4 I could no longer access my Win98SE system or print from my Win2k system. All of my settings are the same as they were before installing SP4. Also, I can ping the router and the Win98SE system. I just...

Using a peltier on a water cooled system: In the tank or on the CPU?

Remember those "Blue Ice" packs? Get a two or three of them and toss one in your reservoir before you start gaming. Keep the others cold until you need to swap out the one from the reservoir. :) Maybe a little cheesy, but a lot cheaper than a TEC. Really, though, I'd just stick with water...

Upgrade ??

A good rule of thumb is to reformat your hdd whenever you swap mobos. You don't HAVE to, but it's not a bad idea. I typically reformat at least a couple times per year even tho I'm not necessarily changing any hardware. If you're installing and uninstalling apps/games/etc on a windows system...

gigabyte GA7IXE and 145watt psu

I believe the vcore for your tbird is supposed to be 1.75v. You may try to bump it up to that then try to boot. I'd be very skeptical of a 145W PS, even though you got the same results with the 300W. I thought the smallest AMD recommended was about 250W. You should probably stick with the...

Oil Cooled Motherboard

I've been mixing oil and electronics for a few years now and I would definitely feel safer with oil than water. I don't think twice about submersing a circuit card in oil and turning the power on. If someone came to me with a container of deionized water and said,"Here try this.", my response...

Oil Cooled Motherboard

Moving the oil around is not really a problem - you can get an car oil pump from any auto parts store fairly cheap. Actually cheaper than some water pumps. The oil I'm using at the moment is a fairly expensive synthetic though - about $10/quart. It's used in a non-commericial system for...

Oil Cooled Motherboard

Question: Anyone here ever tried to submerse a motherboard in oil for cooling? I work with electronics that are submersed in a synthetic oil, but I never had the guts to do it to my mobo. If you put the mobo in a tank and circulated the oil through some type of radiator to remove heat...

antec truepower 330 gives off annoying hum

I'll have to agree with most of the comments posted above, my TP330 is very quiet. Does the hum you hear seem to be fan noise or something else? Some power supplies start to "sing" before they die. I don't want to startle you, but if it doesn't appear to be fan noise, maybe you should have...
