Okay, so i have this great P4 2.8 that sits right next to me at work. It isn't connected to our network, nobody ever touches it, and it's ALWAYS on, 24/7. I simply must turn this resource to the forces of good. I can't just install the client and plug the PC into the network because work's firewall ...

I did the whole Zalman NB HS trick, but with the old gold one rather than the new blue one. The mounting hardware was just a littl eoff for the holes on my card, so I ended up using the epoxy. It works fine, never had any lock-ups, crashes or artifacts. On the downside, it gets hot, as in "Oww oww o...

I'm guessing it will work but it will be scary. A while back I had the same idea, but with the previous version of the Zalman NB HS. The holes on the card were too far for the NB arms to reach so I had to use the epoxy. I can run the card passively, but it gets hot. Real hot. Too hot to touch. But i...

It's worse than that. My 2500 took the better part of 2 days to chug through one of these for the grand total of 50 pts. Ick. I was fine with normal units for a day and now I have another one of these monsters...

Okay, I'm planning out my future system (just have to convince my fiancee that I really do need a new PC) and I'm leaning toward mATX. I'd like to use a Barton 2500 and my current video card, a GF4 4200, soon to be fitted with a Zalman NB32J. To cool all of this, I'm thinking of cuting two 80mm hole...

I've been haunting the site for 4 or 5 months now and have found all kinds of wonderful stuff, even got caught up in the F@H craze. I had to dump my Volcano 7 :evil: and mod my power supply 8) Longwinded Summary: I have an MSI GForce4 Ti 4200 64MB card. It's the loudest thing in my system and I depe...

I did this same fan swap recently and encountered the same problem. In my case, the PSU fan connects via a 3-pin MB header, except that the wires are reversed. I opened the PSU back up, cut the little tab off of the header, turned the connector around, plugged it back in, and it worked fine. If your...
