Completely Unrelated / PC heatsink troubles

« on: 2007-07-07 03:36:57 »

I apologise for the really newbie question. I was using this freaking huge heatsink in my computer and at first, it was a really good heatsink. But lately, my computer has been getting pretty hot and has slowed down quite a bit (though that might just mean it's time for a format). Anyway, I figured I would open up the computer to see what's going on in there and I noticed that the heatsink wasn't making very good contact with the processor. I have a look closer and I notice a bit of plastic had fallen off the mount that the heatsink uses to clamp onto the motherboard.

Long story short, I'm currently using a crappier (lighter) heatsink in the hope that it won't completely disconnect and fall through my graphics card. I need to know how I can go about getting a new mount. Has anyone ever bought a heatsink before? If so, do you know if the mount comes with it? Or (worse case) will I need to buy a new motherboard? Oh, and just in case it matters, it's an AM2 motherboard.

I should remember really, since I built this computer myself, but it's the first one I've ever built and I have a horrible memory.

PS The "little plastic bit" that I'm talking about can be seen here:

(The two bits of plastic which stick out, next to the screws)

PPS Been a while since I last posted here, I'm kinda surpriced it's still around. I was looking for help and remembered this place because of all of the insanely smart people here *Ends shameless sucking up* .

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / Maya

« on: 2002-01-06 00:34:00 »

One of my friends at school says he's got maya, he has broadband so it was easy for him to "get" it (Hint Hint). It was the 3D effects program that made Final Fantasy: TSW, so should I ask him to get me one? And is it easy to use for a newbey to CG?

Scripting and Reverse Engineering / PRS files?

« on: 2001-12-05 23:12:00 »

PRS files are a type of sprite files.
Does anyone know a program that can run PRS files? I've got a feeling it is the type of sprite file that the dreamcast uses.

General Discussion / OMG...Perfect

I was looking at MP3.com for FF music and I found a guy called Arpeggio, he made great Final Fantasy style music, take a look:
http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/38/arpeggio.html
(scroll down a bit and you'll find the MP3's)
Anyway, I sent him an e-mail and told him to take a look around here.

He really should be part of the FF Remake team (I just hope he doesn't mind working for free)
