  • Cooling Utility

    I've never been one to use cooling utilities much but I just tried a very elegant one I downloaded from MajorGeeks.com. Its called VCool and it works superbly.....Download is only 28K and once installed I enabled the idle loop...dropped the idle temps by 7C....Doesn't seem to have any impact on perormance as my Sandra scores stayed the same...

    Anyway MajorGeeks has some really good utils..

      Yeah...shocked the sh&t outa me too.......even though under stress the chip heats up to its normal temp....most of the time it stays around 1-2C above the mobo temp....(I know my typing is not too challenging for the chip)..at the moment room temp 27, mobo temp 28 and cpu temp 30.

      happy Jan

                        LOL, you may have the largest quicklaunch toolbar I've ever set eyes on, MySTiCuSS!

                        Hmm.. gonna give that prog a try. At the time of this posting I'm using my Backup system (thanks to a pretty much DOA EPoX 8KHA+ mobo). I'm convinced the 600EB has a relatively POS cooling fan, so anything I can do to help out wouldn't be bad.

                            No dude, thats insanely inefficient.... That rivals using a one button MAC mouse. If you get 4 windows open you can't read what they are from the toolbar.....

                            I use a double thickness toolbar with my top 12 selections for quicklaunch in a nice little 2 X 4 rectangle. Any other shortcuts I have I keep handy in the start menu.
