    Interesting prolem with ATi 9600

    Well, not really. The difference between 8.56.*** and 8.561.*** is just a minor bugfix, not even a revision.

    8.56

    8.561

    8.562

    8.57

    8.571

    8.58

    8.59

    8.591

    8.592

    etc.

    So while 8.593.100 should work fine, in your test, it doesn't. So trash it.

    I don't trust the output of "driver genius".

    CPU cooler + Case coolers question

    in Hardware Field

    Posted · Edited by Mr_Smartepants

    For the record, I have the Scythe Mugen (not the mugen2). It's a massive cooler!

    The Katana3 looks interesting though.

    If you're worried about cooling capability with these tower-style coolers, don't be. But you can always reverse the rear-facing fan so it blows in, then build a duct to carry the cool air from the rear fan, to the heatsink, then out the top fan. The problem with this design is the rest of the case air may go stagnant.

    I'm not a big fan (no pun) of the "top-down" coolers. Generally those are better suited to flat desktop (horizontal) cases that don't take advantage of natural heat convection (heat rises).

    Tower cases where the mobo is mounted vertically don't need the additional cooling around the cpu area because of the heat tendency to "rise" across the components on it's way to the "top".

    You could do what I did here and get rid of the excess fans.

    More fans == more noise.

    Off topic: When I saw the Scythe Kabuto I immediately thought of Giants: Citizen Kabuto.

    One of the most enjoyable games I've played. I still have it! :D

    Problem with addons...

    i use your update pack i see this error's what is that and how can i solved it

    i use : XPSP3_QFE_UpdatePack for Windows XP Post-SP3 by user_hidden

    Internet Explorer 8 for XP/2k3 by YumeYao

    Those errors have nothing to do with the updatepack. Those are known errors when using Yumeyao's "Clean style" IE8 addon.

    If you want zero errors, then you also need to include Yumeyao's "fix addon" which will delete those entries.

    Or use his "No setuperr style" addon.

    I need to get a DC Jack.

    Their catalog is freaking huge and I guarantee they'll have what you're looking for. But you'll get killed on the per-item shipping costs since they usually sell bulk items at a discount (bags of 100 units, etc.).

    I've ordered from them before. They will have the one item you need that nobody else carries! ;)

    Is this to repair the DC input/charging jack on the notebook? I've repaired about a dozen Toshibas with the same broken DC jack problem.

    [Addon] Kel's UberPacK v16.2 & Notepad2-Mod

    in WPI, nLite and RVM Addons

    I made a new source using uberpack 15.2 and now I get an advanced .inf failure error on first desktop load.

    Uberpack v15 didn't have this error and that's all I changed.

    I'll rebuild again to see if it wasn't a fluke.

    *Edit

    Confirmed. 15.2 causes the failure. Unfortunately I deleted my local copy of Uberpack v15 and you removed it from the server so it's no longer available.
