TBH it probably would involve taking the laptop apart. Looking over all the circuit boards to see if you have any busted or bulging capacitors (sign that you just need a new laptop). Clean out the inside of the laptop without static electricity sapping the parts. Maybe taking heatsinks off...

So I got most of my parts in: Intel i3 530 Thermalright HR-01 Plus heatsink Intel DH55TC motherboard 4GB Kingston DDR3 Toshiba 250GB 2.5" hard drive Antec Mini P180 (I only have the top fan in) Put it together and I am temporarily using a power supply from another PC (430w) until the one I...

Specifically what model is it? (the HDD)

Is it possible to rename or convert the img file? D: Is nero's IMG the same as a ISO? I seem to remember being able to rename the file .ISO. Maybe I'm thinking of a different nero file.

Do you have a newly installed AV/firewall running? Do you use wifi? One time I was downloading drivers only to find them 'corrupt'. Tried multiple times same thing. I just did it from another computer and got it to my PC and everything was fine. Something with the network or site. idk But I...

Yeah it was late when I posted. All data and no summary. Plus I was bored... I changed my air flow from front in and rear out to front in and top out and my temps dropped. And then of course I changed the CPU heatsink with a monster and am able to run the CPU fan silently instead of at 3000RPM...

I bought a Thermalright HR-01 Plus for my system. Looks like this, not my pic. Had Arctic Cooling's Freezer 7 Pro (92mm fan) before. The HR-01 is quite a bit bigger. Almost out to the side of the case. No fan is included. The HR-01 was actually intended to be run passive and the HR-01 Plus is...

Windows Update has drivers that have passed testing (old by then) but that doesn't mean they are without issue (like Virus points out). It isn't good in general to update drivers blindly for said reason. So you update to the driver that fixes your issue (or don't update if you don't have one to...

The screens with LEDs are the same as regular LCDs as far as the pixels go. It's the backlighing that has changed from CCFL to LED. It's just a back light. (There are benefits but it is similar technology that we already use.) OLED is the actual pixels that are different and these do not need a...

You can try to tuck the wires away like this if you are picky about it. You just don't want it to be like this.

Yeah, it had some additional discount for a short time. But even at 279 before rebate that is the lowest that monitor has sold for (new).

On the positive side Newegg is speedy with delivery and Amazon is a week+ sometimes.

This seems like something they would have on a chart off to the side with those details and then on the sticker under the PC on the shelf they have the specs (Athlon2 255, 2gb etc) along with a logo (AMD vision). And for the most part those gaming labels are correct. Farcry2 will demand a lot...

I was looking around for ideas on how to cool my low power PC with 1 or 2 fans. I had a bunch of ideas in my head. 1 rear and 1 front fan in line with a passive cpu heatsink. Or lower front fan with heatsink fan pushing air out top vent. I was really thinking I wanted to try this one if I...

In a way it can be nice grabbing a LCD from best buy on a sale or something for that reason. But they don't have the selection or consistent low price (normal prices). And you might want to check out what the manufacture's policy is. Ever bring home a product that has a flier which says to...

Is it all pics or only some on a specific site?

I do have a 1tb f3 but it's in another PC. A 2.5" drive uses 1w instead of 6-12w like 3.5" drives.

The A64 gets slow with multiple tabs open (pictures, flash etc). So the A64 is NOT going to be the basic desktop but it's going back under the TV. I want to cool this thing fairly quietly. What coolers have you guys used? I'm thinking about Scythe mugen 2 revb or a thermalright. And debating...

5 digit here as well. I was sad when they redid steam sign up from steam beta w/ 1.4cs (and tracker). Had to sign up all over again. Those south of 5 digits went quick that day. I don't see how to view in Steam/settings/account history (just shows games, no $ amount except for recent)...

Yeah, you don't have to study the graph. BTW the graph shows just GTG times. Just different levels of grey (dark to light, 0 to 255).
