Hi, I am going to pick up a couple of 80mm fans. It comes with a two pin plug. The vendor is offering to sleeve the fan tail with a 3 pin connector? I don't really want to do much modding so should I get this option? Is this so I can use a fan mate on it and plug it onto the three pin connector on t...

can you use the organge yate loon unmodified on
this heatsink or do you have to mod the closed corner?
how easy is this for a newbie?

Oh man, put on the spot! :wink: Your friend is right, to properly test a PSU you need a tester like this one. . To be perfectly blunt, it could be anything. You'll need to try to isolate the issue by disconnecting the ribbon cables from the MB, all the front LED/utility wires from the MB, all PCI c...

If the PSU fires up with the jumper test but not when hooked up to the motherboard then it's like I said. Either the CPU is toast or the heatsink isn't mounted properly like meglamaniac stated. If you don't know how to check the clearances, find a buddy who knows and get him/her to check it out. If...

There should be zero clearance between the heatsink baseplate and the CPU. Good luck! Well the baseplate goes under the board right? I think I lost you here. Could you explain what you mean. I followed the directions on the Zalman website. ps: somebody else told me that the jumpering is not a PROPE...

Neil, I've got another thread going

the psu checked out and I couldn't power up the mb
when I pulled it out of the case and put it on cardboard.
I will rma the motherboard and try a new one.

Here is a thread from google with the EXACT same issue as I am having. It turned out to be the PSU. :( http://groups-beta.google.com/group/alt.comp.hardware.overclocking/browse_thread/thread/e4c6921f36f95412/f53e328a66628533?q=jumper+green+black+PSU+test&_done=%2Fgroups%3Fq%3Djumper+green+black+PSU+...

Mr Smarte, I am a real newbie.. what do you mean jumper? can you explain how? and what do i look for on the CPU? It has a layer of silicon paste on it. Can I just wipe that off? motherboard is a Chaintech VNF3-250. Matrox video Samsung 80g IDE NEC optical Corsair value 3200 x 2 528mb Seasonic Tornad...

Hello, I just finished putting together a system and tried to power it on and here is what happened. The fan on the back of my Antec 3000b started spinning, the fan on the Zalman cooler started spinning and I could start to smell something burning (silicon paste on amd 64?). Then after a about 15 se...

yes, mine does not have the FBD stamp and it was made in 12/04. It is a rev D. I am going to mount it soon in the new antec SLK3000b I have coming. perhaps we need a more reliable go to "quiet" drive around here? :) I am a newbie...can anybody suggest a suspension method for the complete....(i won't...

Am I just sc##$$#? Any suggestions?
I purposely got an 80g cuz I felt it was
simply the luck of the draw and didn't want to make a big investment....

Hello Gents, This is my plan for a budget system. I definitely want to get the Antec SLK3000-B case. I want to match it up with the Shuttle AN35N-Ultra Socket A motherboard. I plan to put a Barton mobile on it. Now, to cool it, I need to go pretty cheap, so I was thinking of the Zalman CNPS7000B-AlC...
