<0> i am having a problem with one of my fans on the motherboard
<0> it is not the one for the cpu
<1> northbridge one then
<0> http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/images/products/large/KT600A_10.jpg
<0> that is the picture of my board
<1> mmmm no northbridge fan heh
<0> and the fan that I have one it is in the place of the orange square
<0> can someone please tell me what that area is for?
<1> orange square = northbridge
<0> what does that do?
<1> basicly communication between everything else :)
<0> why is it that some mobo's have fans on it and some don't?
<1> cause some chipsets (northbridge) gets hotter than others
<0> alright
<0> So, down to the main question
<1> or if the manufacturer deems it unnecesarry
<0> I think the fan on my northbridge is dying
<0> I hear it making more noise and spinning up and down.
<1> well board came without one so no worries removing it
<0> I it aways spinning, but I don't think it is going as fast as it is supposed to most of the time.
<0> actually, my board came with it on
<0> I must have a slightly differnt version of the board or something
<2> I'll ***ume mobo manufacturers put fans on there for bad case cooling situations. the sort of **** dell would put together type situation.
<0> My computer was custom built
<0> I built part of it, but this was back when I didn't know how to do it, so I had someone else finish it off for me.
<0> How much do northbridge fans cost?
<2> Yes, even in custom situations people will still do crap like just stick an 80mm exhuast fan on there and think that's proper unless they overclock.
<0> They are cheap, right?
<1> hows the case airflow ?
<1> if you have decent exhaust/intake you'd probably do fine without a fan on there
<2> You can touch test it.
<1> or that :)
<1> ofcourse removing case side kinda ruins your airflow :|
<1> on the other hand via chipsets arent exactly known for their overheating :P
<0> I have 3 case fans
<0> and enhanced areflow ide cables
<0> I don't know if that counts
<0> airflow*
<2> 1 in the front, 2 in the back, then one on the psu?
<0> I have a thermosat on my case and sometimes running temp is about 122 degrees F
<2> That's pretty high.
<0> I have an older athlon xp 2200+
<2> And that's the case, not the cpu, temp, correct?
<0> Right now it is at 104 F with the window thing open
<1> if 2 of those are intake and the rear+psu doesnt act more as exhaust its pretty common.. always have more exhaust than intake :)
<0> I am not sure what the thermosat is connected to, i didn't do that
<0> I have 2 fans on the side and one in the back
<2> Standarsh: I'd recommend grabbing speedfan.
<2> If that's your case temp? That's bad. If that's your CPU temp it's fine.
<0> My computer has been like this for a while with no noticeable proable
<0> problem
<0> Should I do something abou tit?
<2> If your case is 50c? Yes.
<0> Actually, maybe the temp goes to 112 not 122
<0> I can't remember, i havne't looked at it in a while
<0> what is 50c?
<2> celcuis.
<2> (=122f)
<0> I put the window back on, I am goign to see what the temp goes too
<0> sry, i am a stupid american, I don't know my conversions
<2> I don't know a metric **** load from a matric ton. I just know my computer heats in celcuis so I used google to convert it :P
<0> I wonder if I can configure the temp thing to put it in C
<0> How often should I dust out the inside of my comp?
<2> 'eh, when ever.
<2> I just do it when ever I buy a new toy, so about every 8 months or so.
<0> I think I am due for a cleaning
<0> I want to get a serial drive soon
<0> I need more space on my comp
<2> I often treat the 80mm fans as disposible and just replace them once in a while.
<2> They're too cheap to care about.
<3> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=515642196227308929
<2> I buy them by the dozen.
<0> I already have 2 160Gb drives
<3> watch that
<3> ridiculous athletics
<0> why do you toss the fans?
<2> I've got long hair and fallen off hair always gets wrapped around the fans, ****ing them up.
<0> lol, seriously?
<2> And it's on top of a rug, which are just dust mangets.
<2> magnets^
<0> I put a board under my comp for a little bit better circulation
<0> I have carpet in my house too
<0> Are you guys into gaming too?
<2> Well, I am italian, so my body hair is probly longer then most of yous head hair.
<1> anyways for better circulation i'd slap a 80mm fan infront and use the 2 side fans as exhaust tbh :)
<2> Standarsh: Most people here are, newist thing I play is hl2 - in terms of pc games.
<1> hl2 is OLD
<1> :P
<2> Is it? :P
<0> I have a GeForce 4200 128mb
<1> september 2005... = old
<0> Will that play hl2?
<1> probably... at crappy res/settings
<2> I play it on a Radion 9600Xt.
<2> And I run it at 1280x1024 with every thing set to high. No aa/af.
<0> hmm
<0> I don't really feel like getting a new card.
<0> I play other games fine.
<1> hl2 will auto detect :P
<0> Graphic cards get outdated too quickly.
<1> depends how big your wallet is....
<0> I was happy when I got my audigy2 near when i came out
<0> and it is still better than what most people have.
<1> i still remember paying 500$ for a voodoo2 8mb :|
<0> lol
<0> I need to get better speakers though
<0> Ihave a 6.1 creative set up
<2> Most people use an AC97 onboard codec for audio. That thing is an audio butcher shop.
<0> but it was the bottom of the line one
<1> i use 2.1 speakers and headphones for gaming :)
<1> audigy4 for my gaming box
<0> How many comps do you have?
<1> 2
<2> Standarsh: Creative does have some good speakers. Some of them are rebranded cambridge sound works speakers, which is an awsome brand.
<0> I have 3
<1> (CPU) 2-AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+, 2009MHz (8% Load) .:. (RAM) usage: 1062/2047MB (51.88%) .:. (GFX) RADEON X300/X550 Series Secondary, (Display) 1280x1024/32bit/75Hz
<1> (OS) Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2 (5.1 - 2600), (installed for) 4w 3d 1h 28m, (uptime) 5d 39m 11s .:. (HDDs) 41.5GB/1.09TB(3.7%) free
<2> 'I paid 200$ for a 5.1 Creative system.
<1> i tried 3... found myself not using the 3rd much
<0> logitech has nice speakers too
<1> could use a media center rig tho
<2> Honestly, I'm far far more impressed with what I got my kid sister. 150$ 2.1 klypse(sp) setup.
<1> 2.1 speakers pwn actually
<2> I hate logitech. No mids, what so ever.
<0> mids?
<2> Middle range audio.
<0> oh
<0> I guess you know better than me.
<2> Now it seems like all music is just b*** any ways.
<2> I'm a make-believe-audiophile.
<0> I have a nice logitech keyboard and mouse that i am happy about
<1> hardstyle/hardb*** ftw!
<2> I had a half decent headset from them.
<0> I got a 2. something Ghz wireless keyboard and mouse from creative and hated it
<0> It was like worth 100 but I got it for free
<0> I think wireless is over-rated
<2> I hate wireless keyboards/mice. I'd rather just usb in more wired ones.
<2> My current machines only got 3 keyboards wired to it.
<1> i hate my mx1000 :|
<0> I would rather just have wired stuff since it doesn't bother be and I don't have to waste more money on batteries
<1> love my g5 tho :D
<1> mx1000 = built in and g7 as well
<1> but im actually considering getting another mx1000
<0> You have a mac and a windoze?
<1> cause then i could RMA this one :D
<4> ChinaBox is that a dual 2.3?
<1> g5 is a mouse... a VERY good mouse
<4> ur G5
<4> was thinking workstation sry
<1> :P
