Ok so I was having some framerate problems with some games couldent figure it out. seems to be better*

Other night I Decided to clean my computer out without the use of compressed air and cleaned everything with a paper towel and alot of Qtips (dry).

I unscrewed the the 2 fans my computer has and cleaned them pretty good and heatsinks all the ram and grafix card. I also Qtipped all connectors and all around the motherboard and capaciters. (stayed grounded to chassis during everything)

Why fan speed not Increase with load. Like backing up games on steam Was all power to backing up and now no change at all in fan speed or anything. Did I miss somthing when I was Doing this I know I got case fan backwards and flipped it back around and thats it.

Second random Question I have This computer was a store baught one from a few years back the manufacurers website says

Does that mean the limit of what the hardware will support or the OS it came with support originally had 32bit vista

Memory Support Four DDR2 800/667/533/400 MHz SDRAM slots

Support up to 4 GB system memory

Depends really, doesnt vista only see 4gb under 32bit? Not sure on the hardware capabilities as you havent mentioned what computer you have etc.

Has the fan ever gone on full under load? If it hasnt there might be an option in the bios to set the limit of it, not sure though.

You honestly can't expect us to help you with what you have just posted, right? Please provide at least some sort of detail - for starters, your system specs.. Second, are the fans hooked up to the motherboard, or the power supply (PSU)? Also, do they support PWM?

If they're hooked up to the motherboard, and support PWM, try using a program like SpeedFan. If they're hooked up to the PSU, they'll run at 100%.

    • Zen Browser 1.21.4b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.4b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.4b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.2 and 152.0.3 Added 'Edit pinned tab' context menu item to manually set a pinned tab's URL Added 'Add Route for Domain' context menu item to quickly add a tab's domain to the Space Routing settings Fixes Prevent sidebar from flickering when moving a tab (#14131) Full-screening while on a glance tab will now expand the glance tab to a normal tab (#11766) Fixed space routing tabs opening in background when it should be in foreground (#14183) Other minor bug fixes and improvements.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Laptop Processor Question

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
