I can confirm that this works. I have the same card as Ed, the MSI nx6600gt-vtd128, and I followed the instructions given in the first post.

I have heard that switching to an external sound card, such as the Soundblaster Extigy or some of the new Soundblaster Audigy products can be very effective because it removes all sound circuitry from the EMI mess inside a case. I can't remember my source on this, so don't go buying one of these pro...

I've had a PIII-733 that had a fanless heatsink for years. Its not a regular socket cpu, its one that sticks out perpendicular from the motherboard, pointing the cpu at the front of the case. Because of this, its never even had direct airflow over it. I revived it this winter for a folding@home mach...

To play Devil's advocate.... I don't think I would go with a setup like this. I haven't watercooled, so you can take what I say with a grain of salt. With watercooling, there shouldn't be that much variance in temperature, assuming that changes in ambient temperature aren't great. In that situation,...

This is the setup I have, and its not a major problem. My two points are that the clip is small and that makes it hard to work with; I used a hacksaw but I wished I had a dremel. Also, you don't need to remove much. I cut through the outer holes since it was less work, and so I couldn't slip and cut...

I took a Thermaltake 6Cu (copper core, Al fins--horrible purchase from my pre-SPCR days) and took the fan off and glued it to my ti4200. The fins are actually decently spaced for passive cooling. I also opened up the drive bays under the card to improve the cooling. I could tell that temperature wen...

I have a hub that can be powered either by the USB or the wall. I usually run it off the USB to eliminate cable clutter, but after adding a device my PC has given me a warning stating that I have too many devices plugged into an unpowered hub. Plugging it in to the wall I have no problems. Its prett...

The x700 may run passively. From Toms Hardware So far, only the most general technical specifications are available on the X700 and X700 Pro. Neither photographs nor early test samples currently exist. However, a small picture in an ATi presentation suggested that the X700 (standard version) can be ...

I once broke a connection on a capacitor removing and reinserting my video card. I didn't realize it until the powering up the computer, when the video was messed up, although I don't remember the specific symptoms.

I took the top off a PSU in my closet, and worked out 3 steps to make this happen. 1) seal the PSU with loads of silicone caulk, especially the cable area 2) fill the now sealed psu with the oil 3) mount a heatsink where the fan exhaust was I pretty much lost interest at that point, i just don't thi...

Underclocked VGA
Anyone else using Powerstrip or Coolbits to underclock their video card? I've got a GeForce 4 ti 4200 128MB card. I started with powerstrip, with the sliders for core and memory clock rates as low as they would go. After reading this http://www.overclockers.com.au/techstuff/a_coolbits/ I switched to...
