Oh my WORD. That has to be THE worst joke ever made on this forum - and I should know.
What we need is a Worst SPCR Jokes thread!

Attached was a nice bios 1.51 beta, witch did not fix a thing ...well, at least did not make things worserUnfortunally, all desktop boards will not support the Mobile processors. Please use desktop processors for desktop boards.
You can also try with the attached bios update for the mb.

That's what I bought for my file server a couple months ago. The feature set is solid, but the settings sure are weird. OCing the FSB while running the RAM asynchronously requires some sort of mystical chanting or something. While I've seen it happen, I can't reliably duplicate the behavior... And after working with my P4 rig's ICH5 SATA, the Via's need for drivers is a letdown. I will be nice and say that it is a solid board that works great (for me...) at stock settings.trodas wrote:I want to complain about MSI KT6V mobo. This one:

...well, let's start, shall we?
About 6 months ago (maybe longer), AMD removed the recommendation or requirement for those 4 holes. Hence very very few new socket-A boards now have these holes, and even when they do, tiny surface components are so close that there is danager of damage if you use the holes for HS mounting. It's an AMD FU.For a testing/backup machine I can overlook the fact that there are no holes around the Socket 462 - witch is IMHO serious flaw todays
I do agree that the choices we do as consumers is some form of power. However, the vast majority of consumers ( of computers ) don't understand the technical aspects of the product they are buying and are, therefore, unable to make a responsible choice.MikeC wrote:How you spend your money is really the most effective vote you have.
It's not the hardware designers you need to influence; it is the people who set their objectives. I've said this before: If management and marketing become convinced that truly quiet products (not just claims of quiet) will give them a selling edge over competitors, you will see super quiet stuff out there so fast it will make your head spin.some other way is necessary to get the message through to the hardware designers
It would be hard to forget. It was about four times loder than the the generic power supply I bought it to replaced, even with its fan control knob turned all the way down (oddly it only controlls only one of the two fans). With my Antec Phantom dead, I had to reinstall the Enermax. With one fan disconnected, the other fan being run through a resistor-based fan silencer and having its speed control turned all the way down, the thing is still damn loud.digitalix wrote:Let's not forget Enermax Whisper
Nope, theres a big batch of XP 2500+ processors with unlocked multipliers.Tigr wrote:Blasted! My brand new Soltek SL-KT600-RL does not allow changing the multipier either! For Christ sake, it even lets me play in the BIOS with the multiplier setting, just does not apply it anywhere! This is not good...
I wonder, if the board specifies that it allows changing the multiplier on the unlocked CPUs, which CPUs they mean then? All desktop XPs are multiplier locked, aren't they?
No, you're quite right. Any company that calls something silent that makes noise could theoretically be sued.jhh wrote:Maybe I'm confusing definitions but to me the "silent" means no noise (ie 0dBA), with quiet meaning little noise. Maybe this is a misconception but I think it's one the industry sees and takes advantage of.
Exactly. Dubious marketing will exist as long as there is profit motive.MikeC wrote:Never mind, some things are timeless.
you just need the right case.andymcca wrote:I have yet to find a silent computer. They all make noise if I drop them far enough.
