so guys... anyone with a zalman?
the copper one (CNPS9700)
what do you do to clean it?

I think this time ill give it a proper clean out using vinegar to make it spanking new.
(removing the fan first of course)

When i had mine i just remove the fan and spray it out with the hose

Easy to bend the fins and ting doh.

[SPRANG_A]

i have the cn9900max...
only installed last month. so no cleaning yet..
i figure i would just take it down and use compressed air or spray with vinegar..
when i reach that bridge etc...

[Humes]

I have that Zalman (or the equivalent GPU cooler). I spray it with compressed air along with the rest of the case, but I never gave it a very specific clean. I've been getting 3-4 more degrees than usual over the last few hot weeks. Did a spray out yesterday and mostly resolved it. Speaking of which, I have some fans and a CPU cooler to put in as well.

BTW, that new Zalman lookin real sexy.

[Ronaldo95163]

I got back the PC today............Tried reinstalling the GPU driver and after it rebooted at the end of the installation it's saying that it isn't installed or not functioning properly also windows is saying that it has stopped it because it is reported tht it isn't working properly I reinstalled it twice and the same problem...what should i do to resolve this???

[M_2NR]

please tell me that you downloaded it from the net.

Try to get the exact one you had before because if i remember right, you have an ATI and yeh... those REL FCKED up with drivers

[Ronaldo95163]

yea i downloaded the lastest from the net....when that didnt work i tried the exact one i had before and im still getting the same problem

[Chiney]

Hmmmm dats messed up. Could be a number of things. Even ur mobo

[Ronaldo95163]

Yea it's really messed up...can't run any games, resolution looks crappy and i can't even enable windows aero

[besflickredo]

have you guys ever encounter this problem?

cd/dvd drive cannot find drivers during windows 7 installation,a window keeps promptin for dvd drive drivers.

[Chiney]

Only for ide I have seen that. Old one at that

[besflickredo]

both HD & Optical drive are sata connection.

[Chiney]

What is your board?

[besflickredo]

ITS NEW

Model:Foxconn M61PMV

[Ronaldo95163]

[Ronaldo95163]

Another attempt failed

[Chiney]

Bessred, check your base drivers. Chipset as well.

Gracen. I dunno what to tell u boy, other dan try aother card we.

[fouljuice]

gracen you tried using windows update to see if those drivers would work?

bestflickredo you running a clean install or an upgrade?

[Ronaldo95163]

windows update just says that it's up to date

[Sinister_Audio]

Zalman's new cpu cooler

oh dear God... sexy but that will be a pain in the ass to clean... >_>

and in what NORMAL case is this mofo gonna fit?!

[fouljuice]

gracen i don't know what going on there. I feel you might really have to try a next card. If you can't do that, the only other thing i could suggest to use one of them driver removal software to make sure all the gpu drivers are completely removed and then try re-installing.

should get everything on thursday or so.

[dean_spleen09]

how much does it cost to bring in those parts via skybox or whatever shipping method you use.

[Chiney]

Yeah, those specs will hold you good, but i would of hit sandy bridge. Just saying.....

[M_2NR]

shoulda go sandy bridge ABA

that PSU... unless you like a bird nest, shoulda go modular. You have rel hiding to do

other than that, yuh good to go. As HCCA was saying them i7 barely getting abuse by things up to today.

how much does it cost to bring in those parts via skybox or whatever shipping method you use.

depending on who you bring it in with. For instance JSL you might get away with most things and pay only shipping. However with websource and a few others you will be bulled from tax and duties and when i mean bull... i mean you go be like just hit meh...

Thank God when i tested websource, it was an Atom PC yes.
