Very noisy fan; didn't used to be

Several months ago the fan on my mother board (atop the processor) started making a lot of noise. Best I can diagnose, it is a vibration resulting from the plastic shroud loosening on the metal pegs that it sits on. There's no screws anywhere to tighten, as far as I can see. The noise is quite annoying, particularly during the night when I want to watch a movie or play some music quietly while I go to bed because I can hear the fan over it.

Any suggestions? It's an Asus M2R32-MVP motherboard, with an AMD Athlon X2 5200+ 64Bit (AM2) cpu

Not me personally, but my roommate:

I'm sure many people here know of Zero Punctuation, and the 'Pants on Head Retarded' slogan and T-Shirt. My roommate was wearing the shirt, walking to campus one day when this little old lady who works in the residence cafeteria walks by. She has some kind of issue with her motor skills, making walking difficult for her, and her son has some other kind of medical issue from birth (I don't know specifically what the disease is or what measure need to be taken to cope with, but I digress). She recognized him as he had live in residence for three years prior, and they smiled at eachother. She then saw the shirt he was wearing, in which the word 'retarded' is in huge black letters on the yellow background, and immediately her face turned sour as she passed by him on the sidewalk.

Bad day to wear the shirt :P

Don't forget that LFS is still in development. Selling a title in a store would imply that it is a finished product, which it most certainly is not (despite being better than most "finished" products).

Nice work on the small detailwork!

Scions? I remember when they used cool(er) cars. Sorta.

Vitamin String Quartet - Wonderwall (Oasis Cover)

Wow, this is fantastic. I find that these guys sometimes don't have a lot of impact to their sound, but this song has got a lot of presence.

If you mean the Autocross locale (Skidpad, 2-lane and 8-lane dragstrip) then, yes, it's true. It requires an S1 license to access.

Ska cover... This is actually pretty cool.

Inactive Messiah - Beat It (Michael Jackson Metal Cover)

A pretty good cover... especially when compared to all the shite ones out there.

FRenault. Highly limited or not, it's still nothing like anything you've ever experienced before.

If your XR addons don't work, you've either installed out dated ones (from before the interiors were changed) or you didn't install them properly.

Damn, that was going to be my suggestion.


Alright... well.. hell, I forget what else.

[edit] Apocalyptica - Path conjures up images of 60s F1 cars for me, for some reason.

Good on them to keep calm there.

I've been looking for Danny Watts' FRenault crash for a while. Here it is.

Wow, violent stuff there!

I can't believe his legs weren't snapped. Lucky, lucky guy.

Yea, I have far too technical a style; something I've been trying to fix. I have gotten a lot looser over the last couple years, but still not loose enough. My biggest problem is that I just simply don't sketch enough. I need to force myself to draw more often.

Quote from Fuse5 :loving the angle and perspective of the first one
second one... kudos, front views are a bitch to draw :P

They're easier when you distort the perspective so much that it's 100% false but get away with it because it's stylized. Even still, I totally wanked up the front on that one anyways.

Quote from jrd.racer :How the fuzzling hell do you guys do that.

here is one i did in about 25 mins. Help please.

Aside from perspective errors, the biggest piece of advice I can give is this: Don't draw what you think you see, draw what you do see. For instance, you have a line going all the way down the vehicle, nearly from the headlights. This line does not exist, because this is a rounded area. Try to draw shapes of colour, not shapes of geometry.

That probably doesn't make sense, but I'm far, far too tired to elaborate at this point :P

Here's a sketch I did a couple months ago in class. Far from perfect, but I'm not the most talented with a drawing utensil. Also attached a real quickie Ferrari concept.

Anyone else think the itv coverage is crap? I'm watching race 2 right now.. and.. just.. wow. They show a car getting alongside another going into a corner and then stick with that same camera staring at the rest of the field entering the corner instead of switching to a camera that can see the pass. What the hell? I don't want to stare at some back markers driving single file. They've done it two or three times now.

Quote from aoun :...but seems very bad one too.

I disagree completely. Looks spectacular, but doesn't look bad to me at all. In the 60s, yea, but not now. I'd be surprised if there were any serious (or even moderate) injuries.

Quote from logitekg25 :nightmare on elm street, its a pretty good horror movie, any other good horror movies anybody?

Quote from Boris Lozac :Don't tell me there's some remake, or you've watched the original just now? Anyway, from that golden era of Horror films, you should watch The Fog, Children of the Corn (there's also a Children of the Porn, don't mix them up ), then the first two Halloween's (especially the first one).. The Thing, Pet Sematary... etc..

It's a re-make. Shame, too, 'cause now that's what he'll think the movie really is. Poor children of today...



...For the record, I thought the original(s) were shite, too.
