| 286437 | 2004-11-01 02:49:00 | ok now i am overclocked from 1.8 to 2.2 (2500 - 3200) i checked asus probe and everythings the same except for cpu and ram. the CPU TEMP is now 51 C and the RAM TEMP is now 35C they're not dangerously hot, just a bit more than usual... which is good but the reading of the power and chassis fan not working is worrying still. my box fan does make a grinding noise when i start it up, if that helps |

| 286438 | 2004-11-01 02:57:00 | > this is without overclocking ^ You need to give the clocked figures. The chassis fans, etc, will not show if theyre not pluged in to monitored connections and have the three wire leads. Most boards only have two or three monitored fan connections. If your temp's are getting up a bit, get yourself a good copper cooler and fan like the Zalman ones. Id' give Thermaltake a miss. Cheers Murray P |

| 286439 | 2004-11-01 03:02:00 | Temp's are ok. Grinding noise will be to do with dry bearings, not rev monitoring. You could peel the sticker off the centre of the fan and put a couple of small drops of light machine oil in the little hole, will probably be a short term fix only. Look at your board manual and identify the monitored fan connections (3 pin) named like Fan 1, Fan 2, etc. One will have the CPU fan connected. Does your case fan have two or three wires?

Each time this has been because you havent researched your purchases, relied on bad information and brought cheap crappy products and expected miracles. Miracles dont happen when you buy cheap crappy parts. If you want to get an awsome overclock you have to spend money, theres no way around it. It is possible to find a good quality cooler for under $80 but you'll need to do your research, relying on the infomation of the man at the shop is a bad idea. You seem like the guy who loves to buy things, an impulse buyer. If you choose to buy something cheap and crappy or rely on the information of the shop assistant again then you deserve whatever problems you get. |

| 286442 | 2004-11-01 03:35:00 | noo im not like that i was just really stupid when i bought my PC, but im a bit smarter now :-) i hardly ever buy stuff and ive been researching an upgrade for a while now i dont want to get an awesome overclock, im happy with what its working at now. i just wanted to make sure i wasn't damaging it at all. lol sorry i know i bought crap parts but we all make mistakes, at least i didn't buy a pc for $1600 from stationary warehouse that performs like crap :-) (like some people) |

| 286443 | 2004-11-01 03:51:00 | Quiet PC Coolers (www.quietpc.com) the CNPS6000 copper will do you, if you want to up the efficiency look at the CNPS7000. Prices (www.quietpc.com). There are others around, I happen to like Zalman, have 2 CNPS6000 doing the job very well for me with the fans the only ones in the systems (except PSU) and directed more at the baosrd than the heatsink.

| 286444 | 2004-11-01 03:57:00 | Something like the Thermalright SLK-700 would be a good cooler, it costs less than $50 depending where you buy it from. Volt modding the fan can allow you to reduce the noise of the fan, if you also want to try for a quite system. | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 286445 | 2004-11-01 05:17:00 | oh ok thanks, btw hi anita :P if u watching its running fine without a fan atm :) |

| 286446 | 2004-11-01 18:45:00 | 43 C - cpu 23 C - ram this is the reading when i start it up with Oc'ing its the same without Oc'ing tho it gets hotter after playing games but thats to be expected (53 - 57 C) then it settles at 49 C cpu and 35 C ram |
