cooling

Compared to other problems right now, mine appears less important, so you guys are welcome solving others' problems before coming to this one :) This has been happening for a while now, but today I found the time to actually post it. So...my computer's been running very hot lately; one time, I...

I found this and thought it could be handy for those running high end cards: While they might keep quiet about it, graphics cards too need stability, the type of stability that a PCI-Express slot and one or two screws at one end cannot provide, so PowerColor has come up with a little device...

IT trib caught up with Don Thompson, an extreme overclocker also known by his Internet forum alias Philly_Boy and co-owner of Magnaphase Cooling, LLC. We had a casual conversation over Windows Live Messenger, we discussed overclocking, extreme overclocking and the frigidness of today's economy...

I am a mid level pc user and I can't seem to figure out what is causing my computer to continue to crash. It seems to be doing it for multiple reasons, I have checked the minidump files and found different sources its showing. My system specs are as follows. OS: Windows 7 Ult 64bit...

Hey! I got Windows 7 about a month ago and just recently my Pavilion dv6 has started to overheat and just a couple days ago the internet has started to lag. Overheating: I can't figure out why the laptop is overheating as it is not a dust issue and only started once I got Windows 7. When...

I've had Win 7 Pro on my current machine (self-build) for 5 or 6 months now with no prior problems until this past fortnight when I've now run into repeated full shutdowns unexpectedly with no warning/error msgs prior to or on rebooting. Given how most other shutdown issues related to Win 7 do...

I have a Dell studio 15 running Windows 7 professional 32 bit ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 graphics card Pentium duel-core CPU T4200 2GHZ My problem is that my fan speed is stuck at 30% which sometimes causes my laptop to overheat. Last night it reached 95deg cel which is a high level. I've...

The chaps at Hardware.fr have published a pretty cool power consumption test for 73 Link Removed. It's obviously in French so I'll post the pictures but to check it out for yourself go here: Dossier : La vraie consommation de 73 cartes graphiques (page 1: Introduction) - HardWare.fr

Hey all. I just put together a new system and installed an AMD Phenom II x4 995 (3.2Ghz). This is my first AMD chip and a significant upgrade from my old Pentium D but how hot should the chip run? I've got an ASUS motherboard for it and I'm running PC Probe II and the CPU temp seems to jump...

Lynnfield Can Take The Heat, But Should It? The enemy of both stability and longevity, heat changes the characteristics of silicon in a way that eventually makes it unsuitable for use in a logic circuit. Heat damage can sneak up on overclockers quickly, such as the 59 degree Celsius stability...

OK it exploded but it did it A bloke managed to get an Intel Celeron D Processor overclocked from 3.06 GHz to 8.19 GHz. TiN_EOF's overclocking efforts seem to have set a new record for an overclocked processor's speed. Intel Celeron D 347 which contains the NeBurst architecture based in the...

Ok, I'm not so sure if this is a Windows 7 related issue, but thought I'd post to see what people think anyway. Couldn't find any good answers out there anyway. My CPU now sits around 50-53 degrees Celcius on startup. Heck I caught it at 70C so I dusted it like mad. Last time I checked which...

My memory and power supply arrived today. Of course they were on a freezing truck all day. Should I wait till they get room temperature?

Ok So to begin with specs are in my sig. NOW My problem is whenever I play any game it doesn't matter which WoW HoN etc I play fine for a good 5-10 minutes then I'll get a horrid FPS drop for about 2-3 minutes and It's really annoying in arenas as you can imagine I go down to about 2-5 FPS worse...

Okay, so I have gathered a rough temperature and I have found that my PC's BIOS is kicking in and instantly shutting down the machine once it's temperature (the CPUS's) reaches in excess of 50 degrees celcuis. Now obviously this is nothing compared to what it should be set to, like... 70...

Hello I formatted and installed Windows 7 home premium on my Samsung r 700 laptop (specification- Intel dual core t5550, 3 GB of RAM, 250 gig hard drive and the nvidia geforce 8400m gs graphics chipset) two weeks ago. The installation went without a problem and I managed to get all...

Hay Question: I have Win 7 (ultimate x64) on my laptop (HP Pavilion). When I start the Win. something is “burdeningâ€Â￾ the system and because of that the computer is loud (cooler). Whole thing comes down in appx.4 min. and than computer runes smoothly – quietly. What could be...
