I could not find the correct stuff to seal that gap between the fan and radiator, so I just used a piece of wire to put in there temp. to test, just by closing that gap it cooled my processor down to 40°C, thats not bad for a cooking prescott imo.

Well, its a lot better than the previous setup with 8 fans (4 in the case, processor, 2 on graphics card, power supply), cause now I only have the one 12cm fan, the only downfall is that the wind going through the fins of the radiator is more noisy than the fan itself, well, the fan is pretty quiet. But, I'm happy, da soun don bodder mi I want to try and get it even cooler by sealing the little space between the fan and the radiator where the two's mounted together so that all the air it sucks in has to go through the radiator fins:)

Originally posted by mnas: Quote: I just wanted to mention that it's not always possible to disable an integrated component in BIOS. This is typical if it is a brand-name computer (like Acer). Most of the motherboards you are able to disable integrated components in the BIOS, the older ones had jumpers to disable it, but most of the new ones you can disable it in BIOS or at times it disables itself (like Ross said) once you've installed the AGP/PCI card

I hope this helps and that I did not miss anything, I'm still sleeping:)

What, a P2?

OK, in that case, I think the easy way to do this is to create a folder on the desktop of each PC, right click anywhere on the desktop and select new -> folder and then give it a name like "Share", without the "" of course:) Right click on the newly created folders and click "Sharing and security" then click on "If you understand the security risks but want to share files without running the wizzard, click here" If you get a popup click the "Just enable file sharing" and click OK. Now, tick the box next to "Share this folder on the network" then you should see the folders name appear in the "Share name" field, then tick the box next to "Allow network users to change my files" (so that you are able to copy into that folder from your other PC). OK, now you'll need to get your computer names, right click on "My Computer" and click "Properties", click on the tab "Computer Name" at the top, you will see the computer name next to "Full computer name". Now, if you've got the names of both PC's you can make it more easy by creating a shortcut on each desktop to the other PC. eg. If the name of PC1 is "Home1" and PC2 "Home2" and the shared folder on the desktop is called "Share" then go to PC1, right click on the desktop -> click "New" -> Shortcut. In the open field type in: \\Home2\Share and click "Next" then type in a name for it, something like "Share on Home2" and click "Finish" Now, go to PC2 and do the same, but replace "Home2" with "Home1" And that should be it

My Processor is only running at 47°C now, not 60°C anymore

I've got a prescott 3.2 and mine runs at 47°C now, it used to run at 60°C before the water-cooling

Please post in this thread http://www.ntcompatible.com/thread30365-1.html

Oh yes, sorry, I forgot to add that, its a 802.11b. Nope, I could not get it to run on Suse, I tried everything the nice people here said but right at the end it would not open the program it was supposed to to configure it. I have a topic here somewhere concerning this. This is what my dongle is called: IEEE 802.11b WLAN Mini USB Adapter and it has this number on it: FCC ID:PANWL1207 and it says: Made in China:) Here's 2 PDF files about it: http://www.wificentrum.sk/buxus/docs/download/WL-161%20Q.S.G%20multi-language.pdf http://www.ccandc.com.tw/Manual/WL-1207_Manual.pdf Thanks Wicked

Hmmm, thats a bummer, maybe I should give speedfan a go. I've got a Q-Fan option on my motherboard (in the BIOS), its to regulate the fan speed, slower (quieter) when cold and faster when hot (louder), but I dont use it cause I've only got the one fan and it uses a standard 12V power connector not the normal fan one that fits on the MB, so I cant regulate it, it runs full all the time, but its not that load anyway, so I'm not worried about it for now.

Please read through THIS thread and if you cant find the solution you can post your question there. Thanks Wicked

It depends on what you are planning on doing. If its just for gaming and you dont have any static IP addresses on either of the PC's (dont worry, if you dont know what I mean and you did not do it it should not be static) you just need to restart both PC's, XP will make the connection by itself and then they can see each other. If there is something secific you would like to do with these 2 PC's while connected let me know then I can describe it in more detail. Enjoy Wicked

I just dropped my temp to 46°C on the processor and to 33°C in the case, I also use "MotherBoardMonitor", its pretty nice. I dropped the temp by fitting the radiator and fan on the outside of the box, but I still only have one fan, I'm thinking of getting another 12cm one for the front for intake. I also just sealed my whole box up all round (it took me a good 5 hours) with home made filters from German hospital stocking thingies, now I wont get that stupid dust inside my PC like before, I used to vacuum clean my PC inside once a month.

If I log on as "root" do I still have to do the super user thing? I'm using a D-Link +624 Router that is connected to the DSL modem. The point I'm using on my PC is a FiberLine wireless USB Dongle

I've got a 3.2Gig prescott processor, my temp runs at 50°C when I do normal windows stuff and runs at 52°C when I play games at full graphics. I have water-cooling with only one 12cm fan on the radiator, I have no intake fan and my PC stands right next to the heating in my room with a constant 25°C

Guess what, SIMS 2 has a new expansion called "The Sims 2 University", that cant be good

Hmmmmmmmmm

Wow, what a read. I'll rather not mention any of those names in that story, I don't need some 350pound hit man with a Glock at my front door:)

Thanks for the reply, if I may ask please, how do I use "wlcardconfig"? or how do I do/start/run it? Thanks

Neva!!!!! POOOOHAAAHAAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA:) SIMS are EVIL little creatures

Oops, I'm sorry about that. I'm not too sure about that problem, I've heard of people saying that they've had that problem and the only way they could fix it was to re-install the game, you might wanna try that, if the updates dont work.

Talking about new software, as long as MAXIS dont create a new SIMS 3 or something:):) To everyone, happy new year, and I hope everyone will enjoy the new year even more, and the same for every year to come.
