The stock cooler ran at 37C, my Zalman 9900 lowered it to 32C. overclocking it to 3.5GHz pushed the temp up to 43C on the stock cooler and 36C on the Zalman.

I checked the AMD site for 940 compatible motherboards and the MA79T was on the list. It is all working now, a small computer shop charged me £10 to use one of there processors and flash the BIOS at the same time. That saved me buying another processor and selling it afterwards. As I...

I thought I would try AMD again so I purchased a Phenom 940, an ASUS M3A79T-Deluxe and 2 X 2Gb Crucial 1066 memory. I always build outside the case so if anything is wrong it is easier to get at. I put it together, switched the PSU on, the power button lit up, I pressed it, the HSF whirred...

I am in the Uk, I have a Garmin nuvi 250, which I purchased 9 months ago. I have just updated the maps which was a 2.9Gb download. I also had to update the firmware which is free. When I brought it, only the UK maps were on it, but after the update (which was free), I had the uk & European...

I have been building computers with AMD processors for ten years now, but I have to admit Intel is the way to go if you can afford to. I have not had any problems installing Vista on Dual & Quad core AMD processors, so it is up to you.

I have just tried it and it seems to do its job well. I would not use it though as there is no backup option, in case it deletes something it should not. A lot of people use CCleaner which does the same job and also includes a registry cleaner. Plus there was no uninstaller in the programs list.
