I can recieve mail now, but I can't send it.

who is you isp and where do you get your email from

My ISP is Comcast.  I am using Thunderbird.

I just downloaded it and I don't know what settings to use. 

It might be a pad.. i would recommend artic silver.. better heat exchange.. go to a mom/pops shop and ask them about thermal pastes..

I used the Arctic silver cleaner and purifier and then some Artic Silver 5.  Worked out great.

That is a nice little heat sink.. atleast it doesnt look like this..

It's not so little, but that thing is a monster!

I have found if you clean the heatsink and fan off with some compressed air.. it takes care of some of the odd noises and some times the stalls.

yea have both of those fans blowing in so that fresh cool air is blowing over the CPU and you should have a port on bottom front of the case too it will probably be hidden by the fron bezel (face plate) put one on there blowing out.

That looks like a nice heatsink and fan dont forget to get some arctic silver the instructions are here http://www.arcticsilver.com/instructions.htm

I have a port in the front, but it's obscured by the faceplate.  I just realized that I only have one 3 pin wire on my power supply and that's being used.  How can I hook up a 2nd case fan.  There's a 4 pin conector... is there an adapter?

How's this for a CPU cooler?

ya lost me.

if they are in the same proximity, yes they should be blowing in the same direction if they are directly across from eachother on should go in and the other out. The latter is what I think you were asking but I am not sure.

Sorry for the confusion.  They are on the back of the case and the ports are perpendicular with each other.  There are no other ports.  Only one is in use at this time.

It looks like this:  [_]

Hey check out http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/SubCategory.asp?SubCategory=62

just select what you need ( your CPU Socket type is a 478 pin).

As case fans go you probably have an 80mm fan if the fan is really big its a 120mm

Thanks... I have the 80mm case fan.  I have 2 case fan ports, one on top of the other.  Should I have one fan blowing in and one fan blowing out?

Ok, the fan on my processor is acting up and I would like to replace it.  I have an Asus P4P800s motherboard and a Pentium 4 3.3 GHz processor.  Can someone tell me what fans are compatible with that processor? 

Also, I have one case fan that is a little loud and I'd also like to add another.  How do I know which size to get?

The key word on all these fans is quiet!!

Thanks!!

if it settles down with the ac it might be a temp controlled fan.. did you get your system in the winter?  also open you case and clean out all of the dust bunnies.. they are really good at insulation.<- bad for a computer!

I cleaned it out.  I got the computer in the spring and had it throughout last summer with no problems.  It only recently started acting up.  If I run it without the AC being on it sounds like a jet airplane.

I got a 1 meg card of Corsair DDR, 400 RAM.  It's supposed to be good stuff. 

Is there any way I can change the fan on my processor?  It's acting up.

Well, at any rate, SMTP is 25 and POP is 110

It is not working. 

If it's asking for port numbers, you did something wrong...

I just followed the instructions...

Go here and scroll down until you find the Outlook Express section. It should be enough help. If not, just post any questions here and me or someone else can help you out.

Thanks!  When I try to set up the account in outlook, it asks for port numbers or something like that.  What should I put?

Would I be better off getting rid of outlook and downloading Thunderbird?

What are normal fan speeds and temps?  I installed motherboard monitor and I'm running 52 degrees on the CPU and 30 on the case.  The fan speed is currently 4166 rpm.

Go to the account management page: https://acctmgt.Comcast.net/Comcast/AcctMgt/acctmgt.cmd

It should be the first link there, Create additional email accounts, in the EMAIL SETTINGS section.

Thanks!  Now how do I set it up on outlook express?

an easy way to do this is get everest home edition and install it...it's free and it tells you basically what ever you need to know about your computer.....or this doesn't help much but go to www.crucial.com and they have a scanner that you download and it tells you what memory you should get...i would first go with everest...it's a great free program

hope that helped

It sounds like the fan might not be seated or connected to the heatsink and CPU right. Did you watch him install it?

I didn't watch him install it.  Would a diagnostic program help me??  If it's broken, how can I replace it?

I have Comcast and I would like to set up another email address.  How do I go about doig that?

A friend of mine built my computer and now my fan is acting up. He's not aroud to fix it and I want to try and take care of it myself. The fan is really revving fast and it's VERY loud. For some reason, it doesn't do it when I have the air conditioner on and the room is cool.

It didn't do it when I first got it, but now it does it constantly. I don't know what kind of fan it is or what to do... help!

     

I want to add more RAM to my computer, how do I figure out what kind I should get? I currently have 512mb and want to add another 512 mb.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Well, if you're not a gamer, then the Dell i6000 is a great choice.  You could get a really nice one for very cheap with the dell coupon codes (PM me if u need more info)

Also, how important is battery life?  If you want 6+ hours...then I would have to say go with an IBM laptop (awesome laptops...their cases just look like $hit)

p.s. i have a Dell Inspiron 9300 and got it for about $1500 including tax (specs in sig)

oh how great those dell coupon codes are

Thanks for the reply.  Battery life is semi-important, but not a deal breaker.  I'd probably upgrade the battery.  I saw they Dell offers a $750 off coupon.  I could get a top of the line Inspiron 6000 for like $1200.  Not too bad!

How are Gateway laptops?
