    Unreal P4 cooler

    You're welcome, Buck I also use Process Explorer...frequently. PE isn't made for killing stuck files/folders, though.

    Something Random

    What I'd recommend is a more efficient heatsink in terms of heat transfer, then. Using a better heatsink means not needing as much air blowing through it to maintain a target temperature. What about mounting a Thermalright SP-97 or SI-97 and a quieter 92mm fan?

    Something Random

    They make the Panaflo 120mm/12volts fans in four different airflows. The lowest ones are fairly quiet. http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/appliance/pdf/fba12g.pdf I agree wholeheartedly. Fan adapters stink. Additionally they've been proven in tests to not allow good airflow through them. (I...

    It's amazing the way this post has ballooned out when we never even got an explanation from Eric as to what was bothering him. Who's going to be first to haul Leo Buscaglia out of their arsenal of personal beliefs/dogma?

    Northbridge cooler replacement help

    I changed out my NF7-S northbridge cooler about a month ago when the fan bearing began howling. Used a Thermalright NB-1C. The only hassle, and it wasn't a big one, was to graft the old cooler's fan wiring harness to the new Thermalright's fan. That way I was able to plug it right in to the...

    Ice Ages & such

    So true. It has happened well within the last 200 years too. Tambora in Indonesia underwent a VEI=7 eruption (150 times bigger than Mt. St. Helens 05/18/80 eruption) in 1815 that caused a global cooling that was called the "Year without a summer" and there were massive crop failures. Death toll...

    Ice Ages & such

    The Yahoo article only makes a veiled reference to the fact the we have our own "supervolcano" <VEI=8> right here in the USA. It's called Yellowstone. It is also 40,000 years overdue for an eruption based on its calculated 600,000-year eruption cycle history.

    I just pulled into the hangar parking lot at 7:15. Traffic was only somewhat obnoxious since I carpool and get to use the diamond carpool lane. We check the freeway status almost every day before heading home to see if there are any smash-ups that can be avoided.

    As long as the PID and key code match each other it should work. I can't personally vouch for it, however. Maybe some of the others here have worked with this?
