Ok well as i said before i had bought a new enlight case well the thing is, is that it has a fan under the psu like most cases well
it wasn't doing a damn thing lol. but i turn that fan around and the fan in the front of the case i turned it around also. well i was thinkin this ain't gonna do anything well to my surprise it did.
case temp now 73 was 79, cpu 82 was 86-89 ,thrid i i dunno what it is but 82 was 85 anf this is not celcius, f.

to mod or not to mod is the question? should i leave my new enlight case just a pretty new case with the standard color or should i cut some holes and give it a nice handle and some fans?

Does anyone else have heating issues with thier t birds
cause when i use my t bird just surfing and stuff but when i play cvs for like 10 mins myy cpu gets to be like in the 110's.i have to run an air conditioner in the middle of winter lol to keep it at 104

Are you getting instability? If so, I suggest getting the Vantec CCK-6027D. Yes, I've said it before, but this is a very good, well made and cheap cooler.5500RPM fan, so it's not too loud.

I know the next two upgrades I'm getting are: an Iwill DVD266u-RN to replace my POS Abit VP6 (death to Abit!!!) and a Samsung 955DF flat-screen .20 19" monitor.:D

Your temps are perfectly fine, you dont need extra cooling at all.

I never posted to this cause I have nothing to brag about, but now I do!!!!!

I'm getting a 1gHz Celeron and a GeForce2 MX400.\

Yay for me. Installed on Monday. Then I will reinstall.

Max Payne will be opening a can of woopa$$ on Tuesday night in my house.

it makes my machine unstable

I am proud to say that my server has been up for almost a week with no crashes and lockups. 145 hours so far

W00T it made it to 168 hours and no lockups or crahses

Bravo! My server's been running quite well too, although I'll have to add a bigger case if we add any more drives at all.

Meanwhile, I'm contemplating how to destroy my VP6. Death to Abit!

if you really want to be bad to your board, you can always short-circuit on of the jumpers that are used to power additional fans.....this will definately blow at least a few capacitors up, guaranteed!!! lol

I actually got the same suggestion from a sales rep at one of the local PC shops. I dunno, as I'd kinda like to have keychains from the HPT370 controller, the Apollo Pro 133A and the 686B chips. I'd really like that...of course blowing some caps on the board would be cool too, hehehehehehehe:D

Well, I'm trying to decide between the Iwill DVD266u-RN and the SuperMicro Super P3TDDE. They both run the Via Apollo Pro 266T chipset, but the supermicro runs SDR SDRAM and Iwill uses DDR. Neither one's a problem, but I'm trying to find out about the Vcore setting for the P3TDDE, as I've got different steppings and voltages with my CPU's. So long as they'll do 1.75V to both CPU's I'll be fine.

I have no clue bout them boards,but i do know this my enlite breeze just went through some modding, 2 80 mm fans on the side, 2 80 mm fans on the bottom, 92 mm fan on the top and some wheels also look good to me

Well, I fixed my VP6 problem. Used the drivers off Windows Update, and the system is happy. No problems now. I also picked up the Inspire 4400 4.1 speaker set. Great speakers when paired with the Audigy.

nice

1st Computer got a 3DMark2001 score of 7002
2nd Computer got a 3DMark2001 score of 3475

my machine (see below) does a 3D Mark 2001 score of 3150

(Detonator v27.30, Vsync off, Direct3D Mipmap Detail Level: Best Performance, GF2 MX clocked to 235/380, CPU clocked to 1.45GHz)

PS, Marktait, how did you get your GF2 MX200 to give you that impressive (considering) score of 3475. What setting and drivers do you have?

Regards,
tsonta101

I'm using det 27.10 and to be honest im not sure how its getting a score like that, Iv also got this confusing thing that the 1.2Ghz with the GF2 MX200 boots a lot faster than my XP 1700+, and i mean ALOT FASTER.

So i aint sure how it gets that score, i was surprised too and also none of that system is overclocked too.

well at 1024X768 in 3dmark 2001 i get 2345
1024x768 3dmark 2000 i get 5632
3dmark 2000 640x480 9008

This was at 640X480, I havent tweaked windows at all apart from changing my virtual memory so that its 512MB(smallest size) - 768MB(largest size) that seems to have been very effective speedwise.
