so i dont spread anything onto the actual cpu? as seen in my pictures in the first post of this thread?

i am a little confused, is the "heatsink" the silver coloured metal square on top of the cpu or is it the thing that fits down to the cpu from the fan?

@b16 - "bum", I was hoping that it could drop straight in. I am concerned about getting the thinkness of the paste correct. is this the only way of doing it, I thought I read somewhere "pads" were mentioned. could i not get one of those? @crash - thanks, possibly if the cpu works out ok, i am also looking at a better sound card with onboard processing, audigy2.

Hi guys, I have just received a new cpu for my machine. I was hoping it would come with some install notes, but it does'nt. Before I attempt to install it, do I need any heat paste etc. I have included a couple of pictures.

Found this link on the zoo 4.08 Objects

The Priory, being a modern, forward thinking organization, believes that our Sisters should use every opportunity available to them to maximise their income generating potential. As a result of the ever growing Interweb, we decided to set up special I.T classes as it was reported to us that many women are generating vast incomes without actually having to go out to work and just lie around on couches and beds all day. Well the classes have been going so well that, as a spin off from their course work the Sisters have created a small site for the Priory. So I would like to invite you all to pop over and have a look by Clicking Here. The Sisters would welcome any feed back you have, so please leave your comments for me and I will forward them on. Frior. Edit: Could any tecnical Guru's let me know why when the site is viewed with Firefox yahoo puts up an annoying advert box but I.E does not.?

Sparrow, thats so simple, so obvious, and yet so brilliant...I will make it my mantra from this day forth.

lol

@Greyknight, Are not the two the same in this instance. it would give a person the chance to find out where to aim to allow for lag.

i had not really given it much thought

no sure if i can make it tonight BG, but great if others find it useful, then perhaps they can relay their expirences through the forum.

As the issue of natural internet lag and shooting has come up, would it be possible for 1 of our hosts, say for 15-20 minutes of the dogfight session have the difficulty setting set to invinceable and unlimited ammo so that we could all do some testing. I too find that my shooting is much better off line.

excellent find delta7, a good read and some very useful tips.

Problem is now fixed. Thanks to bboke for the material

me three !

Watch out Flatspinman, being the son of a lawyer, there is bound to be some wicked pre-nuputial contract stuck in Cold_Gamblers sons nappy! I do tend to get booked up pretty early, but if you two fathers would like me to perform the wedding ceremony, I would be only too pleased.

when it boots it goes to the screen where you can select safe mode, safe mode with networking etc Safe mode still crashes. Return to last known good config crashes

ok, thanks dave, i'll keep a look out for it as nothing yet.

thanks for the help guys, I am right in thinking that inorder to run chkdsk that is the only way, by booting via cd and getting to dos, somehow?

Hi Guys, I lay myself at your feet and ask that the wonderous guru's of the Dogz to please help a fellow Dog who is in need of help. Well, lets hope that openeing has got you hooked, now for my problem.... I am trying to sort out a friends 2 year old Dell PC. Her daughter, after downloading some game that hung, decidied to switch off at the mains.

salute sir, it was great to meet you after all this time and dont let your experience of our roads put you off. if your ever back in london let me know. cheers colin.

Well, I'm home and boy did we have a great time. I will start a new Duxford debrief thread tomorrow so that we can put links to some of the fantastic pictures and videos we have. We saw some brilliant planes both at Duxford and The RAF Museum at Hendon. We also meet up with Fotoflyer, a couple of the guys from the zoo stopped by to speak to us and BG even managed to recruit a guy whilst drinking in the pub! what a star LOL.

sounds like something Raaid over on the ubi zoo should be looking at !

glad you got it sorted, you could have always brought it with you on saturday and we all could have had a lesson on how to take a pc apart hosted by Roger !
