All, A Little update on my cooling problems and DMI.... Even after the removal of the Bus Master drivers I was still getting a few blue screens. I had ordered some additional cooling products from Computer Nerds. They have lowered the internal temp of my mother board by 14C to 40c. Hard Drives and CPU seems much cooler too... I have had no crashes since there installation and everything appears to be working smoothly. The computer is not exactly quiet anymore... 1 ATX Powersupply Fan internal to the CPU 1 80MM ATX Fan w/ tachometer mounted in the front bottom of the inwin case inside the plastic molding. Fan is from Computer Nerds. (very high airflow but noisiest of the bunch). Blowing in.. 1 80MM regular cheapo case fan mounted in the rear top above the power supply. blowing out the back 2 AAVID PII CPU Fans plugged into the Motherboard with tachometer one for each CPU 1 80MM regular cheapo case fan mounted hanging from ATX Supply fan grid with some garbage bag twist ties. Blowing directly on the heatsinks of the two CPU's. 1 Hard Drive cooler with 2 40MM fans blowing out. Mountes in place of normal 5 1/4" drive face plate. 1 Slot Fan. 2 40MM Fans PC Card with independent intake and exhaust pipes. 1 fan blowing each way. End of card is extentable and able to adjust the angle to re-recurlate air into your PC case. I have it located close to the CPU and Harddrives as possible. 10 Fans Total. Intel Specs max power dissapation of PII 300 at 34 Watts worst case. Amazing, PII 400 in my friend Eliots new gateway is much quieter and uses a passive heatsink and only has 1 FAN in the whole case.... The Hard Drive Cooler, Slot Fan, and ATX Fan with tachometer I all got from computer nerds. computernerd.com later, Sean
