Hey guys, just have a few things i wanted to clear up, so i thought i would post it in one thread rather than creating serveral.

First thing, i openeded my pc up just to see how everything looked (Cooling Wise), i touhced the Northbridge and it was fairly hot, didnt burn me or anything but if it does get any hotter i think it would, is this anything to worry about? Not to sure how hot the North Bridges are post to get.

Second thing, their was a bit of liquid on the motherboard near the CPU socket, i obvisouly cleaned it off. The computer is working fine, just ran Orthos last night and nothing happened. Should i examine the board more, or even take it into a shop?

Third thing, i just wanted to know if VISTA 64BIT Home Premium had RAID Drivers on the disc already, since when i setup a RAID config i dont seem to have to install drivers for it?

Forth thing, what are the advantages of running a 1:1 divider, so for example 400FSB and 800MHZ, rather than 400FSB and 1000MHZ?

Fith thing, when running Speed Fan, what does the AUX stand for is it motherboard temp, it saids its at 119 dgrees, surely that cant be right?

Last thing i hope :D , Am i right in thinking that the Nvidia 680 and 650 boards can run the memory on its own, so when you raise the FSB it dosent interfere with the Memory?

long as the northbridge doesnt get so hot u cant touch it u should be ok.

any idea what the fluid was on the mobo ?, i would check over it and keep an eye on it to see if you can see how the liquid got in.

Hey MP thanks for the reply, the liquid was fairly thick. Im thinking, i did have my window open and it was raining, a bit of rain might of got in but cant be sure.
