Cooling (1 Viewer)

[ae]

Anyone can recommend me a good Case fan 80mm?

Heatsink for P4 2.4C?

VGA Cooler for Gigabyte 9600Pro?

I have some ideas, but want to listen to other perspective.

Help appreatiated. Thx

Edit: Where to buy? I noticed it is rare forcomputer shop to have compherensize range of cooling compononent

Online is the best place to buy cooling gear, whether from Australia or overseas. Most shops don't stock proper cooling gear as the walk in demand is rather low, and thus the returns, if any, would be rather low.

Nothing is wrong with the stock Intel HSF. If you'd rather a 3rd party alternative look here

I have a Sunon 60mm in my case atm. Bloody noisey fan, but does keep my HDDs cool. I'd suggest a Vantec Stealth. I've heard those to be quieter than the Sunons.

What do you mean by a "VGA cooler"? I don't think changing the HS on your vid card would be good unless you know what you're doing.

www.coolpc.com.au is a good place for cooling gear.

Cooling type equipment are very popular.

The main reason isn't to just cool, it's to make their computers look good.

Try these sites as well

www.pcrange.biz

www.secret.net.au

www.pluscorp.com.au

www.eyo.com.au

All are respectable sites that provide a lot of cheap cooling.

Im not sure about the heatsink for p4, but for case fans, get the papst fans, really quiet, and the zalman big arse passive cooler for the vid card.

Those sites you posted are just normal computer parts retailers...they don't really have a comprehensive range of cooling gear.

http://www.below-0.net/belowzero.asp is another good place.

Edit: Nice sig, though too bad it's wrong about my browser

Another vote for Zalman heatsinks. They're nice and quiet.

I got mine from gamedude computers (google for their site).

*edit*: That sig is wrong about my isp. My Isp is .net.au? ...nice

Exactly, BigPond Broadband Cable (formerly BigPond Advance, or plainly Telstra BPA) resolves to *.bigpond.net.au

So the .net.au was correct

Even if you're on the old non-DOCSIS network (203.45.* IP range), you'll still resolve to *.bigpond.net.au

And if you are on the DOCSIS network, then you'll have 138.130.* IP ranges, still resolving back to *.bigpond.net.au

 

[karl]

there are lots of .net.au's

Blinding me with talk of IP's and DOCSIS doesn't correct the fact that it's saying my ISP is "net.au" when it clearly isn't. It could be retardedscript.net.au

Unless it says your isp is "com.au" , in which case it's just a retarded script, or built for non-international tld's. I suppose $something.$something would work fine on regular tld's...

True, as with any other domain(s) available for registration.

You are on BigPond Cable.

Tell me your IP?

a) 203.*
b) 138.*

If A - then you're using a black, motorolla cyberSUFR modem, on the 1999-2000 non-DOCSIS network.

If B - then you're using a horizontal and/or vertical standing Nortel Networks grey modem, on the DOCSIS compliant network, established in 2001 and onwards (ie the present).

Clearly, you are on the BigPond Broadband network, with preferrable DNS servers of:

Primary: 139.130.4.4
Secondary: 203.50.2.71

The first resolves to: uneeda.telstra.net
The second resolves to: lon-resolver.telstra.net

How does it not correct the fact that you're a BigPond Broadband Cable user?

The script is fine, the header will only reveal so much.

Namely, your public IP, your domain, current operating system, and internet browser (unless you are using Opera Browser or Firebird, which I would assume points to Mozilla).

or built for non-international tld's. I suppose $something.$something would work fine on regular tld's...

You're on the money there.

@ Huy, the Nortell Networks IP Range also had 144.x.x.x

i had a nortell network one omg gay lol.. it was funny my contract ended, and like i hated ht modem as well wanted to trash it, one time tel$luts went down as per usual, and i called the technician, they couldn't figure it out told someone to come over the next day, the dude just said hmm old modem, here take the new one, and it still didn't work, and it was some minor error in our area, but anyways i got myself a brand new modem lol the surfboard one.
