If there was a little sticker that said 'mechBgon inside' - I'd put it on my system. He helped me through things quite a bit. I'd say stuff like check ot make sure the cords are plugged into the back of your monitor secure, but I'm guessing it's not something that simple..

When you took the motherboard out and tried running it - did you have it resting against any metal or electricity-conductive material? Those little threader devices keep the motherboard from touching the case - and are quite important. When you get your motherboard - you will have to look at...
For the price of the heat sink you have listed in that list - you could (I think) get one with much better performance. If you read about in the cases and cooling section, you'll see a lot of people who say good things about ThermalRight's XP-90 or XP-120 (Not to be confused with the company...
The law is the law, The end.
If you go one mile over the speed limit - you accept the risks and consequences of willfully choosing to ignore a law that many people do try to abide by. Places don't grow legs and disappear - it will be there when you get there - and if you allocate enough time...
No no - I'm 99% sure the fan is fine. See, the XP 120 mounts the fan atop the heat sink in a really weird way. I'm a fan of the 'screw in/washers/nuts' method myself - but the XP 120 has to long and thin wire bars that you pull up on 2 sides of the heat sink. They pull up and over, and the...
Ok..anyone who has experience with the XP -120 may know that the kit comes with two lines of silicon(?) that you lay atop of the heat sink before placing the 120 mm fan on top of it. This reduces vibration.
So when I installed my heatsink, I put the sticky-bar silicone lines on the heat sink...
If you're talking about the weird dry greyish stuff, or sometimes gooey/greasy greyish stuff - it's a paste that is necessary to reapply every time you mess with the heat sink and CPU. Clean it off of the heat sink and cpu with the highest percentage of rubbing alcohol that you can find - and...
Uhhh - and where in my entry did I say BB is going out of business? I dont think you really read what I was saying - or at least, you misunderstood what I was saying.
I said Businesses without customers will quickly go out of business. I never said Best Buy doesn't have customers. *IF*...
It's called customer service, fisher. I don't think he's asking for too much for a little bit of customer service. Telling someone to stop whining, etc etc and to 'tough it out' and deal with it isn't very good business. Businesses without customers will quickly go out of business. I can...
Best Buy is a ultra-greedy corp that cares about money beyond anything else, or so my experiences have taught me.
I bought a Vaio laptop from them in February of 2001. They started pitching the 'extended best buy warranty' to me, saying how Sony only covers this and that, how it doesn't...
The retail CPu with included fan and heat sink comes with a pre-applied layer of thermal/grease/stickystuff that when the heat sink is applied to the back of the cpu - seals all the little niches so there is better thermal transfer.
If you are buying an aftermarket fan and/or heat sink - get...
I had to use some washers and nuts to go with the screws to keep the heat sink in place since the backboard for the motherboard isn't 'screw in' compatible. I'm not sure if I'd recommend people do what I tried - but I got it to work for me (Only coz we have a huge collection of rogue...
Motherboard monitor works on some new motherboards. My FX-53 with Gigabyte K8NSNXP 939 motherboard reads the CPU temperature just fine. There's a lot of sensors that are funky, but the main (red) readout in my taskbar works pretty darn good on keeping temperature readouts accurate. Might need...
I just hate to see someone's thread turned into what essentially (from my perspective) equates to personal opinion. I've seen these benchmark test thingies - and often it's so close between the two companies. It's not like one company is going to junk yards and scrapping for parts and hence...
