    HELP! cooloer for AMD Phenom II X6 1055T

    For that processor i recommend a nice heavy heatsink and some good thermal paste. This paste will do. This is a good heatsink. It's big so you'll have to take measurements.

    NEW Virus Alert!

    Not at all. I don't think that even exists lol. Except maybe something like Norton Ghost... You can call me quite adept at removing viruses. Over the years, i've learned the hideout spots of many trojans and how to restore your system back to normal. This one really put my skills to the test...

    NEW Virus Alert!

    I'm sure you've probably stumbled upon a page while surfing on your firefox or ie that looks like this: And if you haven't, you clearly don't surf the web much. In the best case, you can just easily close the window and the fake scanning disappears. There is one out there which, once stumbled...

    What case & fans, and could I get better value?

    It's hard to recommend since i'm not sure what you want to be doing with the system. Is your budget of 1500 for an entire system or just PSU, fan, case...? Fun fact - You can buy a 1000 watt power supply if you wanted to and still have low electricity bills. What matters is how much of the 1000...

    dell inspiron cpu and memory upgrade questions

    So far from what i've gathered, Socket S1 replaces socket 754 on older motherboards (read here). On Dell's support page, their manual shows the laptop having an "ATI RS485M / SB600" system chipset (page 131), which isn't exactly correct since CPU-Z shows that this is the South Bridge, while the...

    virus attack in computers

    These f****** annoying fake antiviruses are all over the web. I've fixed 3 PC's hit with this virus this past week which corrupted their boot files. Even i was hit with it. An antivirus will not protect you from these attacks. A firewall might. If you're hit from this and are able to boot up...

    Laptop Choices

    If all you'll be doing is surfing the web and loading images, the Athlon will do. However, the i3 is just a bit faster and will compute faster! Pages will load a tad faster with the i3, but your downloading speed will remain unaffected, My original choice was to tell you to stick with the i3...

    Second Hard Drive Apparently Undetected

    Did you format the drive using your Windows installation CD? It looks like you didn't create a new partition after you deleted the old one. Although it is detected by Device Manager, you won't be able to access the drive until you create a new partition. Click start, run. Type "diskmgmt.msc"...

    RAM Upgrade Questions

    Firstly, welcome to HWF! Good question. This isn't easy to answer because every motherboard manufacturer is different and there isn't a universal solution. I haven't been able to get an answer from the online manual. Usually, this setup supported with newer boards such as yours. Have you tried...

    CPU Fan Upgrade

    Yeah i seem those heat pipes extend pretty long. I was looking at the dimensions at both heatsinks but am still unclear as to the heatsink size. But i do have some good news: I was looking at old reviews of your motherboard on newegg over here to see if anyone used the 9500 heatsink, and I found...
