My case sucks :P It doesnt even have a system fan for crying out loud! I'm not being silly when i'm assuming you can put a Micro-ATX MB into a full sized ATX case am I? I want to clarify this before I start 'shopping'. Do you guys know of any good cases out there? lol, ok what I mean is: My current ...

Nice one guys!

I wish i had more money

Are you guys going to get a comparison of the lesser 900 series vs 800 series anytime soon? I'm wondering how the power usage compares across the whole line.

OK, so i totally don't get my laptop! I checked the stability of Prime95 on it yesterday, it crashed after the first 17 min! So i thought there must me something up with the RAM, so i takes 1GB out of DIMM slot B. Tried to run Prime95 with 1GB, but it tells me I've run out of virtual memory, as I ha...

I think my laptop isn't stable! :rolleyes: The stupid thing is that everything is at stock! Now I know most of you are going to tell me that’s because I'm running a P4 Mobile, :P Truth is there's a lot of negative rep about my laptop, but it's a solid machine, with HT on it out-performs a 2.26GHz P-...

I know this overclocking method has been used before with pentium M's, switching the FSB to 533 on a 400 FSB rated chip. Though for people to get it to work they've had to use a small wire to ground some of the pin sockets, known as pin modding! The additional jumpers are a handy touch! = no fiddili...

The black pad probably was the thermal pad :P I know its kinda obvious, but did you make sure there was good contact between the CPU and the heatsink when installing it. Oh, wait its a P-M, yeah, lack of thermal compound sounds the killer issue here! (is there/was there not a thermal pad on the heat...

hey Apoptosis, on my P-D 820 :roll: :P Thanks guys, though i still think im going to use my laptop when i get round to getting a new one :P OC'ing my processor to make it a fast 'Pentium 4' is outa the question though, as its used by my parents too and they wouldnt be too happy if i burnt it out! lo...

Im currently doing some half-hearted casual folding every now and again on my P-D 820, though I can't dislodge the little niggling thought about how much power it uses (ive set up two F@H cores :mrgreen: ). Does anyone have any idea what the most efficient processor to fold with is? Both speed of fo...

ok, so i guess that i'll not go based purely on that.
But are my suspicions correct about there being three varients of the AXIOM cards?

I like the idea of the PCI-e lane 'throttling down' to x1 when its not needed. Or does ATI's MXM variant do that as well?

Dan

ok so i get teh form factor with nvidia's mobile graphic cards but whats up with ATI? :? Are they actually using AXIOM or are comanies mainly still using propriatary card formats? If AXIOM exists are there three varients too? Reason i ask is because i was wondering if the mobility X300 uses AXIOM an...

There is a good 'Pin modding' photo guide on notebookforums.com If you dont mind visiting what could classed as a rival forum :? http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=80879 Its about a third of the way down the first page. And is really clear how to do it. I know its centred around the 'Del...

Hey everyone! I feel like im jumping on the bandwagon here, but its a really good thing at the moment, i was considering building a whitebox notebook as a plausible means to upgrade my laptop. :) I did want something smallish maybe a 12" but the integrated graphics solution that gets chucked in...

I figured i would have to take the ducting off.

Short of drilling a 120mm fan to the case door, is there a less permanant method of attaching it that wont 'damage' the actual case in any way? Say like sellotape lol.

Ok so I've had my eye on the Vapochill Micro since before before it came out. Now there have been some decent reveiws (Thanks Legit!). I am happy to buy it. I just have one reservation. Currently the only intake fan for my system is the stock CPU cooler with a huge tube on it (see picture below): ht...

Ok, you convinced me. I want one of those babies!

Hey, this might be considered as off topic, so if it is could an admin move it to the correct forum :P Right, i was wondering if ADSL filters can be used backwards? Strange question i suppose, but im considering getting one to filter a phone (well duh!) but its an inline RJ11 one, as an oppose to a ...

Hi All, I stumbled across Legit Reviews a bit ago, while absent mindedly googling Pentium M overclocks, and have since read your 'mission statement' regarding F@H. Im converted and now my shiny new Pentium D computer is working for the Team. I don't really want to have two WU's active at once as my ...
