Spenc938 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I have a question, when I check the CPU core temp with Core Temp 0.95 it gives me a reading that is about 25 degrees C. higher than when I check it with a utility called Warp Speeder that my motherboard came with. Does anyone have any idea why? Also, can anybody suggest another temperature monitoring program that I can compare them to? Also, a question about case fan placement. I have two 120mm fans and one 80mm fan. The case only has a place for one fan on the back, so I would put one of the 120s there, and I was planning on just cutting the side to put the other two on. What would be the best place to put them and should they be intake or exhaust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost-Fender Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I just uninstalled Vista Transformation Pack 6.0 from my PC. It's pretty much fine, but my only problem is that there are still programs installed on the computer. These programs are LClock, Styler, the thumbnail program and Widgets program. I tried at Add/Remove Programs, but the programs don't appear there. How do I remove them? I was thinking about deleting the programs' files at Program Files, but I'm not sure about it... ...help?

Spenc938 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I am pretty sure that with those last few you just delete their program files folder. You could always run a registry cleaner afterwards to fix any errors they might have left behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Just wondering about some of these modern motherboards which include a WiFi-AP Solo for instance the ASUS M2N DH, Am I right in my understanding that it allows you to have WiFi like I would get if I bought a WiFi Modem? If so are there any catches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It then connects to a router which splits the signals among different ports. If a router has wi-fi, it sends the signals to wi-fi receivers, where they receive internet access wirelessly. Last but not least, Ethernet cord from Ethernet port on router to Ethernet port on a pc, for a wired alternative. Onboard wi-fi is not recommended by me, as most onboard stuff blows.

Mr. Hym. Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Everything's installed and ready to go, so far it seems like Word 07 converts files from older versions automatically, but I'm gonna download the converter anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Hym. Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I have a few tracks on my computer with a couple minutes of silence at the ends, is there any way to remove that, or divide a song into two parts, and save the parts as two different files?

To my understanding it can be either an adapter or an access point. The adapter would allow you to have WIFI on that computer without an add-on card. And the access point would actually be broadcasting the WIFI signal that you can connect to with other computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What type of files (mp3 etc) are they and what types of programs do you currently have on your system which could do what your after (Sound Recorder, programs with your sound card etc) Or there is this program which I've just downloaded and tried out myself and it works fine and is free, it is a converter, editor and a few other gubbins thrown in for good measure. Just convert the file to a .wav file then edit it, then you can save as an .mp3 file as well as a whole host of others http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Is it wise to put a mATX Motherboard into a ATX case? I am thinking in regards to space as I've got a new case that is ATX but can cater for a mATX motheroboards. As I am still deciding on the insides of this new PC thus all the questions.

Oh I relise that, I meant as far as what is better and how it would effect anything from airflow to having neat cables. Are there any drawbacks from having a mATX motherboard over a ATX one besides the size difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzy Fozborne Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) Oh I relise that, I meant as far as what is better and how it would effect anything from airflow to having neat cables. Are there any drawbacks from having a mATX motherboard over a ATX one besides the size difference? You might have to give up small luxuries to get a micro ATX board, like most don't have firewire, and there was only one board ever that had SLI. These days almost every ATX board has those two things. Also, some boards don't have 8-channel sound and only have 5.1 (6 channel) sound. If you're planning on many hard drives, most microboards only have 2-4, SATA ports on them, but I've seen one with 6. Most ATX boards have 4-6 with as many as 12. Also ATX boards usually have many more PCI and PCI-e 1x slots on them for more expansion. Also, most microboards are built on older chipsets (Nforce 6100/6150 or ATI Xpress x200/x300/x1250) or not as advanced versions of flagship chipsets (like nvidia's 650 or intel's 945/965 chipset without an option of the higher-performing 680i or 975 chipset). Overall, though you really don't sacrifice that much performance-wise and micro is becoming a more and more common option because it's cheaper and because it's (obviously) smaller. I have a microboard in my brother's PC and it's been great since we got it 6 months ago, it was really cheap, too.
