Does A Cooler Have To Match The CPU Or Just The Socket?
Jul 10, 2012
It fits the socket but does it have to support the CPU as well? I want to buy a cooler and i see in the description that other than the socket they also list what CPUs are supported.

I bought the SCNJ-CU1000 Fully Copper CPU Cooler back in 2008, originally it was designed for 775 and 478 sockets. Not having that in my box (now) I saw the Universal Retention Kit 3 having seen that the Universal Retention Kit 3 was not compatible with my 1155 socket after all I have been advised that it will work with the mounting bracket I have been looking for here: LGA1156 & 1366 Mounting Clips Note: on the German site it says it works with 1155 sockets as well as 1156 and seen as they both share the same size CPU I don't see any problem with this, do you?

Failure to connect to VPN per the error below from the log... "Set socket to non-blocking mode failed: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.(errno=10038)"Support at VPN vendor suggests that a Windows repair is needed but have no disk as bought the HDD from a repair facility that lost their lease and cannot be located. Should add that I have had a couple of blue screens lately and have run chkdsk /f and tried to do a system restore but all restore points are gone, even though I had several previously.

What is a BIOS? How do I access it? What is it useful for? Can I modify it? Should I modify it? Benefits from modification? anti-benefits? how to cool down hp dv6 PC; I understand that one could downgrade the BIOS; I understand that an F16 downgrade for hp dv6 would be good at keeping system cooler. Is this really the case?

Have a new Shuttle SG41H4 with mini-ITX board.I got everything free except no CPU/cooler (Even OS -in box). However, the Q 9400 Processor I purchased has no cooler. Shuttle says maximum size is 75mm X 75mm x80mm.I saw a few threads on micro ITX coolers here and wondered if anyone had any advice or recommendations. All of micro ITX coolers I have seen on-line are much larger or have no specs.Technologically impaired 60 y/o (second build, but most of it was free & so I grabbed it not realizing how hard it would be to get older parts.)

Many options are available for laptop cooling, and as i have an HP, i don't know why, they tend to be "hot" laptops, all 5 of my HP laptops have been very warm. Recently, i've found a GREAT solution to this problem!! My Specs are all filled out, and you may ask me any questions here if needed First, look at this picture i took a couple of minutes ago :P
I have a 100% CPU Load, using very few ram, and my laptop fan i NOT on, and I'm at 41-43 Degrees Celsius... thats great, where usually my fan would be going nuts. As i am much tooooo lazy to write a tutorial to do this, please check out this link, its on a "under-volting" guide i followed closely, and now my laptop is great. Please remember to STRESS TEST!!!! or you will BSOD a lot... :-) Good luck to all those with laptops!
Applies to all types of Graphics Cards, and Intel/AMD CPU's, HDD and SSD's .

Intel shows off liquid cooler, DX79SI motherboard for Sandy Bridge-E processors
Quote: It�s been rumored that Intel would offer a liquid-cooling solution instead of a stock cooler with its new Sandy Bridge-E �extreme� processors, and multiple enthusiast sites have indeed snapped photos of the new cooler on the IDF exhibition floor.
From the photos, we can determine that the RTS2011LC cooler has been created in conjunction with Asetek, which had previously announced it was working on a Sandy Bridge-E liquid-cooling solution. According to Legit Reviews, Intel reps said it�s similar to the Corsair Hydro H70 kit that Asetek designed, but that parts were updated, including a 120mm fan. The fan even includes blue LED lights. While designed with the LGA2011 socket, it will also work with Intel�s 1155, 1156, and 1366 sockets. Source
Quote: The X79 Express chipset is the successor to the X58 and will be paired to Intel�s upcoming LGA2011 socket for next-gen processors. The motherboard seen here is the Intel DX79SI, obviously based on the chipset. As its name suggest, the RTS2011LC liquid-cooling solution is also designed for said socket.

Trying to get a healthy moderate overclock on a system for a client before I push it out to them in a couple hours, partially to make em happy with an added "plus it's faster than stock!" surprise, and partially for fun. This CPU's been around for about a million years for overclockers now though?

I'm going to need to do a little video editing (with the After Effects trial) in a few weeks' time, so I decided to practise a little beforehand so that my edit isn't half bad. When doing a RAM preview, it only loads at around 10 FPS which takes ages if I'm doing a slow-mo effect. When I built this PC, I only put 8GB of RAM in it as I wasn't planning on doing any video editing, but now that I am, I'm considering an upgrade. Is it unwise to mix and match different brands of RAM? I'd have to match the timings, speed and voltage, but apart from that I can't think why it would matter.

THE OS of my net book is Windows 7 Home Premium and I would like to know why I cannot find a FILE when i type its name in "Search for programs and files" in Start Menu. It can only show PROGRAMS you would like to find. Ex. I would like to find techguy.doc. I knew the file is in my system but I cannot search it in Start Menu Search Panel for quick access. It says No Items match your search. In contrast, in my desktop (OS is Windows 7 Ultimate) it can find specific file ( pictures, music, doc etc) and also the programs. I would just like to know if it depends on the Windows Edition.

I've gone through every BIOS, network card, and windows setting I can find any reference to over the last 48 hours, to no avail. I've mostly isolated the problem, just can't find anything that shows me how to fix it.
System Details:
Asus P5B-Deluxe w/ WiFi, Latest BIOS Update
On-board Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller - Enabled and being used - latest Driver installed
On-board Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller - Disabled and unplugged - latest Driver installed
Intel Core2Duo E6800
2GB DDR2 RAM
ATI Radeon HD3870
I've got the system setup so that the network card SHOULD only wake up the computer if it sees the "Pattern Match" packets which have supposedly been improved in Windows 7. Magic Packet just won't work for what I need, so I disabled that even for the sake of ruling out issues.
Issue: Any time ANY network traffic comes across the network card, the computer comes out of sleep, even though I'm quite sure they don't fit the "pattern match" that it's supposed to be looking for. I've done packet sniffing etc, and the card is behind a switch all by itself. I have proved this theory a number of ways, including disconnecting every other device on the network which allows the computer to stay asleep, but as soon as you turn another device on, this one wakes up.

Does anyone have experience with windows 7 (32) not allowing the network workgroup name to match a username? Do to some existing procedures we would like the username & workgroup to be the same. This works fine on XP machines but not on the Windows 7 machine.

Does any one know what good upgrades I could get for Socket 462? I am clueless and what not, as this machine is VERY slow and I can't get many tasks done on it, since it's CPU is way to slow. Any processors built for performance and reliable? Any suggestions?
P.S. My current CPU usage when I finished boot up and IE is running.

I have just finished my very first computer build and am rather happy with most things.Unfortunately I am having problems connecting to the internet.I have a temporary dongle in place and because it's my only option for about a month I kinda need it to work.When I first connected it I found my connection and I successfully connected, I downloaded Google Chrome and Steam, then unfortunately it randomly stopped working.Where the strength bar should of been, there was a large red cross, when I found my connection it read "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network".

Searching via the Explorer search bar/start menu for music no longer produces any results. My music has always been stored on an external drive, plus it's added in Music>Libraries - same results in both locations. If I search a particular folder that I know contains what I'm searching for, I still find nothing. (For example: Searching for "bowie" or "heroes" in a big folder of David Bowie albums). I've recently tried adding this external drive to the index, just in case, although actually, it wasn't being indexed before I had the problem and I would still expect the files to be found -- albeit slower -- without indexing! I'm not aware of having changed any settings that could cause this.

I'm upgrading from an AM3 CPU to an AM3+ when it comes out, and my motherboard is flash able to an AM3+ socket, and I was wondering, in which order would I do this? Flash the BIOS, then install the CPU, or Install the CPU first?

In theory powered USB sockets (maybe USB2 and later) can control the power if the hardware supports it.
I don't know if my H/W supports this function, but that's a mute point as I've never found any S/W that implements such control. Has Windows7 made any advance over XP in this arena?
This issue comes up once a year, at about this time, as I have USB powered desk Christmas Tree. OK, it has a switch on the bottom, but I'd really like to be able to control it with an application if possible. The tree sits on my windowsill, and it's not easy to reach over my monitors. And yes, if this is the worst of my problems, I'm obviously doing OK.

I am having issues with a brand new system which has an Intel mainbord. I am trying to connect the system to a Denon AVR1912 unit. Windows tells me that the Denon amp is attached to the HDMI socket (the Denon AVR1912 name is displayed on the icon) but then contradicts itself by saying that it is unplugged. I did discover at one stage that the HDMI icon in the "Sounds" section of Control Panel disappeared. I then had to reload the driver and thought that might fix the problem at the same time, but no such luck. I have checked to make sure that the HDMI socket is enabled in BIOS and that was OK.

The main problem is that my ONE computer's security settings do not and will not match to my router. I'll try and list everything I did. Hopefully I won't miss anything. Obviously, I try to look at the settings and see why they don't match. My netbook is also running on 7 Ultimate (32bit), and it has no problem whatsoever connecting to the router and accessing he internet. I look at the wireless settings on there. Match perfectly to the ones in the properties. So far nothing logical. I try using the WPS button on my router to connect. It tries to, but it always says it simply can't. I copied the wireless settings from my netbook to my desktop (the computer in question) on a flash drive and tried to put them onto my desktop. Signal strength is excellent, no problem there. Reset router to factory default settings. No changes there.Called Comcast (the router/modem is actually theirs).
