Gluded a 486 fan on my memory, now i can hit 160fsb

[crash16]

ya that is a good idea....... and memex ur a freak......... what i did for my fan on the top of my case was cut quarter size holes in a circle for my 80mm fan...... looks pretty sweet wish i could show pic but i dont have a digi cam....

Any way of cutting out the grill on the back without taking everything out of the case? i thought not

i guess it wouldnt take long to take it all out, drill it and put it back together again. and yer right, it would be quieter.

ill do that to the front as well and see how it goes

i cut the grilles out with wire cutter pliers... and like 5 minutes

the reason you should have your ram sticks next to eachother is that windows wont install/has errors sometimes if you leave a slot open in between

i have mine 1 slot apart havent had a problem yet... didnt even know that could happen.....

I had my ram sticks apart on my dad ol computer runnin winxp and havn't had a problem yet either... you sure that it'll make more errors?

Where ya get that information anywho?

which memory slot you use can be very important, depending on your motherboard. Sometimes you need to go memory in slots 1-2-3-4, sometimes 1-3-2-4, sometimes 3-4 don't even work. It's all over the place. The rule seems to be- if it works the way it is, don't change it

Joe did a lot of research into it: http://www.overclockers.com/articles561/

I glued one on which I crossconnected with the NB fan so they use the same line but I got the proper connectors so I didn't solder on the NB fan cables.
Easy removal is allways good if your aking something useless.
My RAM stick was sitting in a heat pocket so I thought I'd give it a try.
Gonna give it some more voltage though
