Good heavens, your CPU is running very hot. chrisbliss has eliminated the possibility of overclocking as far as I can tell (resetting BIOS to defaults), so now you have to work on your cooling! If...

Exactly. Thread closed. ;)

The best way to achieve that is to buy any old case and modify it yourself! If you're handy with metalworking and don't mind some extra work, you can come up with a very unique case indeed.

I...

Whoa! Some clarification needed here.

As I said, the fan linked does not have this type of connection, nor does it come with an adaptor.

Take the heatsink off the CPU you mean?

The "glue" is...

As far as I can tell, that fan will not plug into most computer systems due to the 2 pin connector it uses. If you'll scroll down that page, you'll find a solution to the problem.

Alternatively,...

I think the problem (AGP/PCI not present or not working properly) occurs on all revisions, but the second was supposed to have fixed it (I'll need to further look into it later). Regardless, you...

Apparently there are issues with AGP/PCI locks on the Asus A8V - a BIOS update should introduce a menu option for it and allow you to set the speeds at 66/33. This isn't guaranteed to work however!

That's what you get for overclocking - instability if you're not careful! It can also affect other components, as you've noticed with the hard drives not detecting. Graphical artefacts will occur if...

Do you experience freezing in 3D Games? Crashes during system intensive tasks?

If you answered no to all of the above, then you should be fine. I run the same power supply on an overclocked P4,...

Oh ok. Let me see if I've got this straight.....

The laptop is part of a "display". Power is easily attached to the display, but to actually press the laptop's power button requires dismantling of...

Isn't this is how all laptops (and current desktop PCs) are designed? When the power switch pushed in/engaged when the system is on for a certain period of time, it will turn off. This is a built in...
