RE: Making vista more secrure?
This isn't a Vista specific problem (not even Windows specific). On every OS you will be able to bypass any kind of security when you have physical access to the machine, unless the files are strongly encrypted (and even that isn't fail proof). and... | Menthix | Tech Talk | 07-14-2008 at 01:36 AM |
RE: PS3 or XBOX 360 ?
They'd already be there if it wasn't so hard to code for/utilize. It's been out publicly for nearly 2 years already =/ And even then, that's all about cpu, not gpu. The gpu's in both consoles have much the same power afaik(Infact the 360's migh... | vaccination | General Chit Chat | 07-13-2008 at 06:25 PM |
battlefield heroes!
i read about this game in the good ole metro paper, and it said is well made for low spec pc's, and me having no money to get a nice shiny gfx card with a million Ghz of magic was intrigued by this. i had a look on the site and there's a little vi... | joey | General Chit Chat | 07-09-2008 at 10:04 PM |

RE: Broke my CPU fan :(
I know, but I'm pretty sure Jimbo has a newer PC(By which I mean I think I remember him stating he had a relatively new PC at one point or another, might've even been a thread about buying a new one but i cba to look) :P | vaccination | Tech Talk | 06-26-2008 at 10:25 AM |
RE: Broke my CPU fan :(
Not always vax it depends on how old his system is, some old motherboard models dont shut off when the cpu gets hot, thats why some people fry there cpu. hopefully that isnt the case for jimbo here. Yeah also fans are pretty easy to install he should... | Wally | Tech Talk | 06-26-2008 at 10:08 AM |
RE: Broke my CPU fan :(
They're easy to install. Also, it's unlikely he'll cook his cpu, the pc will just shut off when it gets too hot. | vaccination | Tech Talk | 06-26-2008 at 07:54 AM |
RE: Broke my CPU fan :(
just ask your computer store for a mid range one for that processer. if you are unsure of hwo to instal it i would highly recomend that you get them to put it in or somone with experiance, because its very easy to cook your cpu. and i would be carefu... | Pyro | Tech Talk | 06-26-2008 at 01:45 AM |

RE: Laptop is heating up VERY quickly
A few things are mixed up here, I'll try to explain: That _is_ chemistry and has _everything_ todo with chemical and physical properties of stuff though....

RE: Laptop is heating up VERY quickly
First check if there is any process causing constant CPU strain... Check your Task Manager. If everything shows as 0% CPU most of the time (except for "System Idle Process" of course, that should be 99% or 100% most of the time) when you're doing ... | CookieRevised | Tech Talk | 06-16-2008 at 10:10 PM |
RE: USay 1.1
1. I did send the email as explained in the page, but it was ignored, hell, i even tried to ask what's going on, but nobody answered. 2. Yeah, the machine i am running eMule on is not stable, the CPU overheats and windows restarts several times a da... | michaelbadichi | Scripting | 06-16-2008 at 06:07 PM |
RE: Broke my CPU fan :(
Just to fix ideas, to cool a CPU you need a fan, and a heatsink. You don't _have_ to replace both if only the fan is broken, although on most stock heatsinks both parts are bound together, AFAIK. The main characteristic of a fan is the diameter (80,... | Apatik | Tech Talk | 06-16-2008 at 02:57 PM |
RE: Broke my CPU fan :(
Dude, you have to see what socket your motherboard has. The socket is the place where you fit the CPU and, as such, the heatsink will differ according to the kind of socket. For example, an Intel Socket 775 heatsink won't work in a 478 Socket (Well,... | Jhrono | Tech Talk | 06-16-2008 at 01:06 PM |
Broke my CPU fan :(
Yesterday, i was opening my case to install some new RAM i had just bought, but while i opened it, i dropped the front of the case and it hit the CPU fan and managed to break 2 bits off it. I've heard CPU fans are quite cheap but i have no idea abou... | Jimbo | Tech Talk | 06-16-2008 at 06:14 AM |
RE: msn slows down computer

RE: msn slows down computer
Open up the task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and click the processes tab. If you press the CPU column header twice it will sort the processes by the highest CPU usage. The higher the number the slower your computer (except for the System Idle Process) Whe... | Reaper | Skype & Live Messenger | 06-15-2008 at 05:54 PM |
RE: CPU question
Also if you can find some I highly recommend Noctua cooling products.

RE: CPU question
A CPU doesn't make any sound, it's a chip. It is the fan on the heatsink which might make sound. And you can get any fan on any heatsink on any CPU you'd like (as long as the form factors are the same ofcourse), especially if you're building the ... | CookieRevised | Tech Talk | 06-05-2008 at 02:44 AM |
RE: CPU question
The main issue with a top-line CPU is the huge gulf between processing speed and memory speed. Even with the fastest DDR2, the clock speed difference can be as over 2GHz. To get the best CPU performance for the system, look at the L1, L2 and L3 cache... | RaceProUK | Tech Talk | 06-03-2008 at 09:05 PM |
RE: CPU question
The new GTS isn't much older than the GT - both use G92. Anyway, on the CPU market, the Q6600 would suffice for now, or perhaps a E8x00. Bring on Nehalem I before I buy a new processor... | andrewdodd13 | Tech Talk | 06-02-2008 at 11:31 PM |
RE: CPU question
Well, at the moment i have a 3.0Ghz P4 478 :|. I'm kinda building it so I don't really need to until another 3 or even 4 years. Isn't the Q6700 quieter than the Q6600> Unless I read the article wrong. I'm looking at an 8800GTS (new one) for my G... | Reaper | Tech Talk | 06-02-2008 at 11:24 PM |
RE: CPU question
If you use it for gaming mainly and have a certain budget, I suggest you take a look at the E8x00 series and save some money for a better graphics card or something. There are very few games (Crysis is the only one I know of, but there may be more) w... | Jesus | Tech Talk | 06-02-2008 at 09:55 PM |
