    Free Benchmarks?

    You could look at: 3DMark PCMark Aquamark ATI Tool Everest Furmark Geekbench ? (never personally tried) HDTach Sandra SuperPi Some of these you have to pay for to get the full feature list but I think most of these have a free limited functionality version you can try. Some are...

    Quick Question: Artic Silver + Epoxy

    IMO, don't mess with hoping those mix and set properly together (and you may find thermal properties poor), just buy the stuff designed for that purpose: http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_thermal_adhesive.htm

    NTune - How can I uninstall this POS?

    By the amount of problems people have with this, my guess is they probably out-sourced the software development of nTune to a work experience kid working 1 day a month from his bedroom... lol

    GTX 275 Temperatures

    The 'leaf blower' is most likely the video card fan. The video BIOS adjusts fan speed based on GPU core temp. By the sounds of it, it went to 100% which means the temp was quite high. If you want to quickly test how hot your GPU is getting try running the 3D test in ATITool or if you really...

    When a fan stops does it make a beep!

    I think you thinking of a CPU fan fail warning setting in BIOS. At a guess I would say majority of good quality motherboards will have this sort of BIOS feature.

    another reminder to clean out your fans.

    I wonder if the manufacturers even concidered putting dust filters on the air input of the video cards. Probably have and probably not cost effective for them.

    V8 Problem

    I don't think you can assume load temps are good because your idle temps are good - you have to test and measure them. Getting air pockets is not because of the TIM usually, its because of the application and mounting method. Have a search for recommended method.

    Good or Bad? Plugging in all 3 case fans on motherboard to control rpm?

    I'm curious how lower RPM on the fans put more wear on them? Or are you talking about the electronic components on the MB not being cooled as well as having the fans at 100%?

    Noobish question about Vcore in relation to VID

    VID is just Intel's recommendation for CPU voltage to run stable at stock speeds. Of course they have to be generous with the setting to cover general stability. 'Usually' the CPU can can stable at lower volts at stock speed and / or the CPU can run stable at higher O/C speeds at the VID...

    Motherboards dying left and right...help!

    Make sure all your stand-off posts match a hole in the MB and that you dont have any spare. Did you get a batch of the fiber washers when you got your case, usually they are fairly redundant but I would try using them in this situation. Test it with only bare essentials plugged in when you try...

    I Installed windows xp 32 for horizontal span,turns out its not even there anymore!?!

    I had similar case the other day. Option not there in the setup after installing new monitor. Ended up that we had to run the nVidia monitor setup wizard and then the option appeared. You might need a reboot after the wizard finishes.

    Intel i7-920 in Dell, What motherboard to get for OCing?

    Careful about some of the Precisions. The last one I purchased (about 2 or 3 years ago) was still BTX. Just check your current case before you buy anything.

    ASUS P6T Deluxe Raid 0 ?

    Not sure about the ASUS boards, but the Gigabyte is a snap. There is usually a key combination you have to press on BIOS startup which gets into RAID setup (if the MB supports it). You should then just select what drives you want as part of the RAID and then it creates a volume which you just...
