| 596017 | 2007-09-29 10:09:00 | I hate CPU fan control. I like mine to run whether it thinks it needs to or not. | pctek (84) | ||
| 596018 | 2007-09-29 14:04:00 | Yep I fair Panicked :eek: :eek: when Smart Fan Control Came out - started the board and "Shi*" NO CPU fan - Quickly turning off the PC. THEN I read The Manual:thumbs: I wasn't worried then. I was worried when, after running for 5 mins, the fan decided to turn off :eek: |

| 596019 | 2007-09-29 18:23:00 | When I started to run a Core 2 Duo I noticed the fan turning on and off. I eventually set the BIOS to run it all of the time - but then I noticed the CPU was running at 15 - 16 degrees C...! I'd never seen a chip run that cool - in the past, CPUs were running hotter than that by the time I booted from cold into BIOS...! So, I read up Intel's guff for the chip and sure enough, there is an optimal temperature and it's around 25 degrees from memory. |

| 596023 | 2007-09-30 22:33:00 | That is true, Thats why I put some one who knows what they are doing. I doubt very many people unless they work in the business have an antistatic workstaion. Just touching a board after walking on carpet can stuff it. Maybe not right away but it can. 100% Anti static practices arnt practical. If you look at what chip manufacturers recommend for antistatic workstations, I doubt any PC repair company would comply. For a start, no synthetic clothing: 100% wool or cotton. Also onsite repairs cant be done in an antistatic enviroment. |

I never said it could be done onsite, and yeah you are right no one I know of has 100% static setup as per the manufactures advice . Most service people / tech's or people who alter PC's allthe time at least know the dangers and take any practical steps to prevent damage . Some home "fix it uppers" may not know of dangers and can sometimes cause damage . Any way enough about static no point in repeating a subject over and over Makes my hair stand on end :lol: ( static - pun intended) I noticed Norseguy has not posted back since #4 on the 28th, maybe the boards dead ? |

| 596026 | 2007-10-01 00:16:00 | I have't read all the posts, but when the mb gets a shock from whatever reason I've found that sometimes it upsets the cmos. That'll stop it dead. Whip the battery out for 30 secs & try again Just a thought |
