Need Some Motherboard Help

Thanks for the help guys! :D

Got it working. Still having some problems. Dont mind the CPU speed problem atm. But am I having problems installing Age of Empires 3. Check out the Gaming section if you think you can help.

I just got my new heatsink/fan. But I dont think the damn thing is compatable with my motherboard.

Any way of getting it to fit?

No that cooler isn't compatible with that board.

What are you doing? A $50 cpu cooler on a $36 motherboard?

Spend less on a cooler and more on the mobo.

What was wrong with the stock cooler?

Ah, a man after my own heart.
Next comes the Vapochill.

Motherboard seems to be runnning great, except for the SATA problem.

I have a problem with heat in my room so I need a good cooler ;)

A good CPU cooler will make your room warmer. ;)

A hot room will make my system hotter ;)

True. Why do you buy things and then ask us afterwards when they don't work right. You could discuss things before.

Another thing puzzles me. Why 500 GB HDDs with a $36 mobo?

Used a PCChips Mobo in a build for a email and net PC for a family member about a year ago now. No problems as such but it was only a 256mb ram and AMD Athlon 2000XP. Mobo was only £12 so can't complain, was easy to install and no issues as of far. Wouldn't use it on anything apart from an email/internet computer.
