Well I finally managed to sort out this little quandry with a 5.5mm drill bit from the local hardware store. I didn't bother making a back plate...
The heatsink did not come with a backplate, thats why I'm wondering whether I should make one. I run a sheet metal factory so getting one made...
Hi Bindi :) I've had a look at the installation movie and it shows the brass nipples going through the front side of the frame, but on the...
I'm in the process of assembling my new machine but am having some problems installing my monstrous heatsink to the Asrock 939Dual SATA2...
If you're not ready or can't afford to upgrade your VGA card yet and you still have an AGP one, consider the Asrock 939Dual SATA2 It has both AGP...
Alternatively you could use bright annealed stainless steel which comes pre-finished, but its 3-4 times heavier than aluminium and a shitload more...
Take all the gubbins out, put a window panel in and silicone seal round all the edges. Then fill it with water and stick two goldfish in it.
60hz maybe a bad thing for those with CRT monitors, but with TFT screens it's not so important as the screen doesn't flicker anyway, making...
The AGP support is far from flaky. There is now a retail board out in the Asrock 939Dual SATA2. Check this Anandtech article for details :...
Hehe, a 'desmond', the drinking man's degree (same as me !) ;) nice one ! Yep, I'm fine atm, business & family are ok & I'm off on a Solidworks...
Argh goddammit, I suspected as much !! Looks I'll just have to go for a board with DDR400 then. I really don't want to chop my VGA card in just...
I recently upgraded to a X800 XT AGP graphics card on my aging P4 2.4 setup, and now its kinda showing up the deficiencies in the rest of the kit...
That seems very hot - see my thread on the same subject. I have the same card and have got the temps down to 35-40° idle and about 55° under...
No, but thanks for the offer. If I was going to upgrade the wheels I'd probably buy a set of 18" Prodrive PFF7s in anthracite. And I wouldn't...
A bit over the top there Bartop, especially if you have Prodrive springs and not Cusco coilovers ! Go for subtlety like mine : [img]...
I gave it a good thrashing with BF2 and everything seems fine, so the new Hiper power supply seems to have cured the problem. I've left the slot...
The folder C:\ATI\Support is created by the unzipper when you download the new drivers. Basically it just stores the uncompressed installation...
Well today I fitted a new 425w power supply unit, and it seems to be ok so far (at playing the kids' films, lol) but I haven't given it a proper...
I did suspect that one, thats why I listed it in my system spec. Would a 420w Tagan cure it ? I have a few other devices on the current PSU,...
I've just upgraded from a 9600 Pro to a X800XT Platinum Edition (Powercolor) and have been experiencing problems with it while playing Battlefield...
