Is that the vendor offering you that? you'd be better off RMA'ing it directly to Antec.

Should work fine.....I ported my windows install from a Nforce/AMD X2 config to a P5W DH/X6800 with no problems. I would highly recommend flashing to the current 1101 P5W DH BIOS with your 670 prior to installing the C2D....there are still people having posting issues with BIOS versions older than 9...

After RMA adventures with my rev 1 Phantom 300 and my rev 1 NeoHE 550, I think I'll wait 6 months or so before even considering one of the Trios

That UL doc also has specs for a NeoHE 650......I wonder if that's a new product, or a NeoHE variant that never made it to market.

Crappy metallic copper color.....looks like a Seasonic OEM like the NeoHE's......3% regulation instead of the 1% regulation of the Etasis & Zippy OEM'd models. Operating Range: 90-264 VAC .99 power factor Frequency: 47-63Hz Current: 12A Efficiency: 83% EMI: FCC-B, CE DC Output Output: +5V @ 30A +12V...

That looks a heck of a lot like a Zalman CNPS8000.

Anybody used either of these two power supplies? They are 80plus certified ATX 2.2's. I haven't been aby to track down a review on either model.

49 amp +12 single rail, rated at 83% efficiency (no load level given). Only a 3 year warranty and 3% regulation, most PCP&C products are 5 year and 1%. $159 plus shipping Output: +5V @ 30A +12V @ 49A -12V @ 0.8A +3.3V @ 24A +5VSB @ 3A continuous = 610W peak = 670W Regulation: 3% (+3.3V, +5V, +12V) 5...

Yes, the fan does come on during peak loads but it is drowned out by the Arctic Cooling Accelero on my X1900XTX. If you have a passively cooled video card, you might be able to hear it.

I know the NeoHE's have issues with some Asus boards, but I'd never heard of any issues with the Phantom 500. I've been using an A8N32-SLI with a rev1 Phantom 500 since last fall....I've never had any issues of any kind. BUT... it is a pain in the butt to fit a Phantom 500 in the bottom of a early m...

It's buyable through the Antec store, and a couple other e-tailers have it in stock as well.....should be hitting Newegg & ZipZoomFly soon.

Bought one and answered my own question. The frame is solid, has a fairly open rear fan grill, has rubber-mount HDD trays and a decent quality motheroard tray. But the bezel is crap......cheap bendy plastic, a NON-REMOVABLE foam filter sandwiched between a restrictive plastic grill and a piece of wi...

anyone have an opinion on this EATX case? it looks vaguely like a giant Coolcases D8000 on the inside, but the outside resembles a Chieftec or ChenMing case.

I've always had a soft spot for this case....I'm on my second one. They are for sale on Newegg under the Dynapower brand, this is the EATX version with 4 internal 3.5's and 2 5.25 bays. This case is a tank, the steel is super thick. $72.99 plus shipping DYNAPOWER F3323 Black/Silver Steel Server Case...

Blatant ripoff of the Arctic cooling Frameless fans....with no heatpipes so I'm sure performance will suffer.

Dell uses a non-standard wiring config for their power supplies anyway......PC Power and Cooling makes replacements that will work; standard Seasonics and the like will not.

Tcase Max on the 4800+ is only 59C, so be careful.

They are shipping it standard with the board......mine came with it, anyway.

Yes, the A8N32's SIL3132 supports single disk attachment in addition to RAID.....honestly I don't know why they left the RAID function intact considering the 1 int/1 ext port design.

I'd lean toward the Abit AN8 Ultra or the new Asus A8R-MVP. FYI the newer SLI boards no longer use funky slot card switching and are no more complex than your typical Nforce Ultra board......the A8N32 has passive cooling, 8-phase power, and all onboard devices are PCI Express rather than PCI.

Seasonic S12's and older PC Power & Cooling 850SSI's also have issues with this board. If I remember right, all the power supplies with issues are only spec'd for 2 amps or less on the 5v VSB rail. Your Zen is also only rated to 2 Amps @ 5v VSB. All of the power supplies in the "compatible" list are...

FrozenCPU is selling 80, 90 and 120mm JMC fans with 4-wire PWM connectors.....are these better/quieter/smoother than standard 2 or 3 wire connector fans?

What's the best A64 cooler the uses the standard retention frame? I'm getting tired of coolers that require the motherboard be dismounted and/or funky mounting clips.

Has a great layout, but I prefer EATX length cases. Also, I'd rather not have to re-buy white bezel drives to replace my current black ones.

Kinda pricey, $149 for the 550.

Meh....rebadged Fortron Blue Storm 500w.

I dunno, take a closer look at the standoff locations in the review photo....he may be right about it not fitting standard ATX boards.

the Antec website.....I don't see them available anywhere else yet.

Just placed an order for one, been waiting for this baby for a while...

Cool! ordered one.
