is anyone in need of computer case fans
i have 8 them, 3 months old, way too loud for me, sounds like a jet in my computer room ,
Delta Electronics FFB1212EH-F00 120x120x25mm Cooling Fan, 4000 RPM, 150.33 CFM, 56.4 dBA, 3-pin TAC connector

a different promblem i'm having, maybe be a stupid question, i recently took apart my computer, cleaned all spic and span
promblem i'm having when i took apart my
Corsair Hydro Series H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler, i got a minor leaking coming out, my question instead of replacing this unit, would epoxy putty work on this minor leak?? this epoxy gets hard as a rock once applied wont ever come off,
the leak is where the hose connects to the radiator
just wanted some input on it

Where is is leaking from? What kind of material is it?
If it's metal, like steel or aluminum, maybe some JB weld might help. Or I'm sure some type of epoxy would do the job, you just need to look into what it's used for and the material at hand.

a drip or 2, nothing serious, then again i didnt leave it running soon as i seen a drip, i shut it down
drip is from top hose where connects to raditor

x2 I've used it on carburetors, specifically dodgy inlets. Works a treat.
Not to flame though but this is why those liquid CPU coolers are not that great. Sealed systems which you cannot pick quality of parts or maintain/fix, it's not that great. You pay many times more than a nice heatsink for marginally better cooling and effectively the same amount of noise. The only advantage is less stress on the motherboard which is arguable.
-
I probably will end up replacing it, any suggestions on something good and efficient, I don't care about the cost,
intel i950 processor with a asus rampage 3 extreme I
Any suggestions would be cool

I recently switched to using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo in custom builds and am very pleased with the price to performance. Sure, a closed-loop liquid solution will likely perform better but not near enough to justify the cost IMO.
The bigger question, do you overclock? If yes, I would still suggest a heatsink but a premium one, maybe $50-$70. I'm not sure what the high end heatsinks are right now. I have a tried and tested TRUE and it does all I need, even overclocking. I can't get crazy high voltages but at the same time, it forces you to use voltages that won't kill your chip.
If you don't overclock or have a slight overclock, grab the Evo and spend the $$ elsewhere.

I am currently using a CM Hyper 212+ (pretty much the step down from the EVO) and it works like a champ with a small overclock.
I never got the hype of liquid CPU cooling. Unless you're doing some serious overclocking, it's not needed and is just added hassle.
-
Yea I over clock from 3.3 to 4.5 , so needs to be a good one to keep temp cool

The Evo is about half the cost of Corsair's cheapest closed-loop liquid cooler. Looking up reviews, the Corsair offering is on-par with other high-end heatsinks yet costs more, has more parts, has the same amount of noise and has a spillage potential. Now, to get good liquid cooling, you might have to approach/exceed the $100 mark which, when you're talking $60 or more than the Evo, that money is better spent elsewhere. You can get a better CPU that you don't have to overclock or a GPU or even more storage.
IMO, the only cooling systems that are worth a damn are the fully custom ones that run through your GPU, chipset and CPU and even those are really only good if you do SLI/Crossfire. They're expensive as hell but you can get nice temps with them. They're still not silent though, often requiring 2-3 fans for the radiator in addition to existing case fans for memory and hard drives.
Anyway, if you have a review that shows closed-loop coolers are significantly better and cost-efficient then I'm happy to change my mind and even try one out. My opinion is that you could get yourself a sweet ass heatsink for $50 or under and have no worries.
On another note, I've been down the road of trying to squeeze every pinch of performance out of my CPU & memory. There's definitely benefits to be had, no doubt about it. However, the further you go, the harder it is and the more time it consumes to make sure it's stable and running properly. 3.3 to 4.5 seems like a hell of a leap and while I don't know a ton about modern Intel chips, I would be concerned about the voltage required to get there. A quick overclock to gain 10% out of the box is great but if you're seeking significant gains, I believe it's much better to just spend the cash and get what you need, especially when it can save you costs in advanced cooling setups.

If u want the old one, I'll give it to you, u pay shipping cost if you're serious
Old one has a hairpin hole on the steam of radiator
Let me know

You've got a PM.
At least I don't feel guilty since I didn't say "yea man, go buy a new one so you can give me ur old one". :)

Fuck I installed it, now my ram is showing 4 out of 24gb , took out 6 times and placed it back same shit, and I did do a memtest so I know my ram is good,
Any suggestions what could be wrong??
O when I tested the ram I did it one by one each slot
-
Replied to your PM before I saw this, feel free to reply to my PM here.
-
in my bios system information and when I boot up computer right click computer icon shows 4 out of 24, and I'm aware of windows XP doing that, not windows 7 64 ultimate version, could I of fucked something up
Before all this happen was showing my 24
-
Windows XP 32-Bit would do that, as would any 32-bit OS.
Show me your Task Manager, Performance tab.

When I get home, on the road right now
-
Have you tried with default clocks & voltage? I would also check the cpu that there aren't any bent pins.
-
shit now i reset all to defaults, now shows 12 gb instead of 24, guess thats a improvement lol
anyways this what u looking for spanky??

Looks legit. 24GB is a fair bit for a non-server motherboard to handle. You might see if there's a BIOS update available.
Short of that, remove all your sticks and run compressed air into the memory slots and reseat them.

i did that already far as blowing it out and reseatn em,
but haven't updated bios, will check into that, keep u updated
-
CPU-Z will also tell you what sticks/slots are being recognized and potentially what slot(s) are problematic. If it's one whole channel that's out, you might have a CPU issue.
Either way, BIOS and other firmware updates are always good.

My RAM works well..

What are you guys doing with 24GB? It's not often I'll push past 8GB but then again, I don't render or do Photoshop work.

i use 3DS Max since version 4

Its all about finding your components on sale / price matching.
I picked up my corsair a50 cooler for like 20$ ( 19.99 without a mail in rebate :) ) - regular price is around 60.
Your a chump or have too much money if you pay mrsp / full retail for anything!

A chump???
it's called I get what I want when I want it, I don't have time to play around and shop around and play lets make a deal, I guess I can do that cause I don't care about spending money on my computer

LOL yea, sure, call it w.e you want. You can label stupidity anything you want.
Its called being money smart, and you clearly are not.
I would much rather wait and find a good deal, and put my savings toward a vacation, build a comp for a family member, treat my sister to something, put it into tax free savings, take the lady out for dinner. Literally anything than just give that cash to some corporate retail pig of a store who does nothing but love foolish people like you who pay full price. When I built my system I got each part on sale / price matched. I saved over 200$ Thats an extra 200$ in my pocket and it took an additional hour maybe of looking around to price match and find sales.
I have a website / tool I put the part number in and it automatically searches all stores allowing me to easily find the lowest price in the country. Foolish me!
Anyone who intentionally gives retailers their money willingly and over pays for ANYTHING is quite frankly a nut.
Why would you not stretch and make the most of your money? Guess you got more money than brains.
Going with your logic your the type of real winner who pays full sticker price on a car at a car deal ship as well? Does it make u feel like a big shot spending more money?
Go on continue being a zombie consumer and toss your money away, it doesn't bother me one single bit. Hopefully you pick a retailer I have stock in :)
-
Zox man, you gotta close some of those silly sidebar widgets, they're probably taking up a good 2GB alone :)
-
Zox, I thought you were going to show some work, not the program open ¬¬ lol
-
I make close too 2300.00 a week, I really don't care about sale prices, I hate shopping if I want deals I'll let my old ladie do the shopping, NOT!!!!!!!!!!!
And most of the time my computer parts come out the back door, if u know what I mean
-
Lol yea I bet. too much money and too little brains ;) its people like you who keep the economy going tho and retailers happy!
congrats on being a consumer chump!

Oh i got a lot, wouldn't know what to show you ^^

ask yourself this why the fuck do u care how others spend there money?? is it your money??? nope,
i'm willing bet your an lonely old man, single no kids, no wife, no girlfriend, no life, but lots of time to fuck with people on forums, sounds about right??
please lock this spanky
i'll just pm u

Locked at the request of the OP.
